WaPo Writer Attempts to Kickstart New 'Grassroots' Coffee Party Via Another Name

Psst!

Two words that dare not escape the pen of Washington Post writer Krissah Thompson: "Coffee Party."

Yes, Ms Thompson writes yet another article about a "grassroots" liberal alternative to the Tea Party movement. If you have a feeling of "been there, done that," it is because Thompson's hype about the "One Nation" movement sounds almost identical to all the PR the mainstream media gave to the faded Coffee Party a few months ago. And the reason why Thompson dare not mention the Coffee Party is that it has devolved into a laughable parody of itself with aimless group therapy sessions dominated by founder Annabel Park as you can see in this video with a grand total of 915 YouTube views as of this writing.

Meanwhile stifle your yawns as Thompson plugs yet another supposedly grassroots organization while carefully avoiding mention of you-know-what:

Oh come on everybody. Wouldn’t you like to see a group of people supporting bigger government, unlimited spending, and sky’s the limit taxation? I need a laugh out of these people as we get so few these days.

The Dems should do a copyright search on the “One Nation” brand. I think that Castro or Chavez may already have this one registered.

How about just “the communist party,” and be done with it.

They promise to "counter the tea party narrative" and help the progressive movement find its voice again after 18 months of floundering.

Pretty pathetic when you consider that Progressives control both houses of Congress and the presidency, Not to mention state, county, and local offices, which they probably dominate also...and that's just politics. They also dominate academia; print media; television media; entertainment industry; Community activist groups/social movements, among others. They're not having trouble finding their voice. The problem is, nobody's buying what they have to sell, and like the idiots that they are, they can't see the forest for the trees.

The large-scale attempt at liberal unity, dubbed "One Nation..."

And one of the reasons why people aren't buying their crap is because of stuff like the above: diversity equals homogeneity. People are beginning to realize that Liberals are a walking contradiction, and don't know what the hell they're doing. It's not the delivery you morons, it's the substance. But then, if they admit that, their whole world comes crashing down.

...will try to revive themes that energized the progressive grassroots two years ago...

And here we get to the root of the problem and why liberalism is being rejected, because the theme that got Barack Obama elected was guilt. They went for the high ticket item and now there's nothing left to sell in the marketplace of malefaction.

Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe Liberals...

“One Nation” = ACORNesque Radical Leftist “Community Organizers” (head of this particular group also being a George Soros operative), Union Thugs and racist, pro-illegal immigrant amnesty orgs.
