The New York Times and Washington Post are promoting a group called the "Coffee Party" organized by filmmaker Annabel Park.
The Coffee Party is a political parasite which presents itself as something it is not. As reported in the NY Times, Park presents herself as not hostile to the Tea Party movement, and in fact, hopes to bring some Tea Partiers into her group:
Were not the opposite of the Tea Party, Ms. Park, 41, said. Were a different model of civic participation, but in the end we may want some of the same things. .... Ms. Park and chapter organizers said they would invite Tea Party members to join their Coffee counterparts in discussions. We need to roll up our sleeves, put our heads together and work it out, she said. Thats, to me, an American way of doing this.
In fact, a simple internet search (which the NY Times apparently is not capable of doing) reveals that Park organized the Coffee Party for the specific purpose of undermining the Tea Party movement.
Park is a former Strategy Analyst at the NY Times who was one of organizers and operators of the United for Obama video channel at YouTube:
A Korean-American filmmaker is in charge of creating video clips that are playing a role in increasing support for Senator Barack Obama, the frontrunner for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
"I found that people have little understanding of the change that Senator Barack Obama is advocating. I thought from my experience in using videos for civil movements that videos would be the best way to promote the need for change and for Obama. That's why I decided to work for the Obama campaign," Annabel Park said.

Typical.
I thought this was more like a state-controlled media thing.
Oh dear, another wackadoo libtard film-maker.
Coffee Party and astroturf - what is the connection? Answer: NYT. Wonder how much she got from Soros for this lame experiment? I am personally trying to come up with a way to siphon some of Soros’ money into a political movement. Anyone got a good idea to sell Soros?
Just another lying liberal who thinks any means are justifiable to get what she wants.
Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too! Me, too!
sigh...
Should have it called: The Java Club
Didn’t Hitler have group like this?
It was created specifically as a counter to the Tea Party movement. Where the TP is anti-tax, the CP is pro-tax (often repeating that chestnut from O.W. Holmes... “I like paying taxes, it buys civilization”.
Is she from North Korea???
I read this blog yesterday. Her premise is that “Government is our friend”.
Nothing more than a pathetic attempt to keep the money rolling into the power structure. They’re frightened, people.
The libs are worried about the young and female voters leaving the Obamacultworship clan. This is just one strategy to counter this trend. There will be many more.
...Where the TP is anti-tax, the CP is pro-tax...
Also the TP is about power to the individual, and CP is about power to the collective.
Here’s a Washington Post interview with CP founder Annabel Park: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2010/02/26/DI2010022602928.html
Some snippets from the interview:
“...issues that affect all of us, collectively...”
“...appreciation of diversity and a sense of collective identity ...”
“...People should come together to go through a deliberation process to produce collective decisions...”
Careful, Annabel, your left wing buzzwords are showing!
Annebel Park. Park. As in Korea.
As in the same folks who gave us the “rev.” Sun Myung and the moonies.
“A Korean-American filmmaker..”
Ah yes, the paragon of freadom that Korea is.....
Hey Annabel,
Bring it! That is if you can somehow convince your DUmmie friends to get out of their parents basement and organize.
DUAC, DUAC, you’re only $10 away!
...appreciation of diversity and a sense of collective identity ...
hahahahahahahaha, idiocracy on display.
