“convert those beliefs into concrete and uncompromising political power.”

Listen to these Nazis. Need to give them the Mossad treatment. Just sayin’

I'm not really sure what the 'teat party' is... is it a single organization, a collection of disparate clubs and associations, a figment of the fevered left's imagination?

I'm inclined to believe the latter, as the left (like leftwing tyrannies & kleptocracies around the world) always need a hobgoblin to scare their feeble minded followers.

Clearly Ms. Kohn doesn’t understand that it’s TEA, not Tea, Party.

A left-wing TEA Party? That’s like being a conservative abortionist.

It would never be feasible because there is absolutely nothing left wing about the tea party

Doesn’t it mean taxed enough already?

Leftist tea party would be tax everyone astronomically

It doesn't look that way to them.

In fact, some of them might say that RINOs and rightwingers are in lockstep.

No, its perfect. Think about it... the "Teat" party: the party of suckling its constituents on government largess, and of womb-to-tomb dependence.

Left wing Tea Party? Why, what about the Coffee Party? I heard they had some gatherings where the crowd numbers hit double digits!

I think they announced something last year too; a "Coffee Party 2.0" kind of deal. The Coffee Party was back in 2009 or 2010.

Factions of the left, please stop being so…factiony.

Anyone with even a passing acquaintance of the history of the Left would laugh silly at that exhortation. They have more isms than trees have leaves and actually kill people over them.

This is an even more impressive accomplishment given that, on most every issue, the Tea Party is out of step with mainstream American voters.

Members of the Left are also susceptible to holding articles of faith that are unsupported by either available data or eventual results, which is why a swing to the right always seems to take them by surprise. This one shouldn't, but it will. I look forward to hearing a few screams in early November.

left wing TEA party? why? They control the media, the schools, the government and have 100,000 left-wing organizations across the country

Why exactly does the establishment need a “TEA Party”?

A left wing tea party is a contradiction.

The tea party is grass roots and leftists are purely top down.
