“Left wing TEA party”...wouldn’t that be about as ridiculous as a “white NAACP”?
Rebuild what Dream?
Obama and his wife were pretty clear that they do not believe in the “American Dream”
That’s because he’s eying your 401k. All that dough just waiting for a government program.
The Coffee Party has been attempted. Didn't work.
Lol, didn’t the left already try that?
Remember the “coffee party”?
Left wing TEA party - Their “tea party” in the revolutionary days would have been sitting around drinking tea with the redcoats and asking if good King George would like them to spy on the rebels, being the loyal subject of his majesty that they were.
C.O.K.E. Party
Communist Out Killing (the) Economy
BTW - You are never broke as long as you have access to someone else’s money.
Jones told the Washington Post he thinks liberals can “do what the tea party did.”
Not likely.
Liberals are mind-numbed drones
Crush the bass turd!
That’s been their standard line for quite a few months now. It’s not that the country is broke, it’s just that the “wrong people” have all the money.
This group will no doubt be based on that UK bunch who stage wild screaming protests over relatively minor budget cuts.
This idea will probably fly .... if someone PAYS the libtards to show up.
Who are they going to confiscate the wealth from to start the building?
This is from Instapundit
Liberals have tried and failed a bunch of times
WASHINGTON POST: Can Liberals Start Their Own Tea Party? Well, we’ve had the Coffee Party, the Brownbaggers, The Other 95%, A New Way Forward, the One Nation Movement — am I leaving any out? I can’t remember — and none of them has gone much beyond a spot of initial positive coverage from the NYT. So, probably not. But apparently, Van Jones is going to try again with the “The American Dream Movement.” I hear he’s got a catchy slogan, too: From Each According To His Abilities, To Each According To His Needs. Or maybe it’s Death to the Kulaks! I’m not sure . . . .
UPDATE: A reader emails:
Liberals have their own Tea Party. Witness the events in Madison, Wisc. and other state capitals earlier this year. Liberals were able to gather significant numbers of passionate protesters in a short period of time. Public sector unions are the liberal Tea Party. The problem for liberals is that they need to extend their appeal beyond that narrow base. The Tea Party’s success is driven by the fact that it has gathered people with diverse viewpoints and united them on the single issue of government spending and taxes. As long as the battle lines are public sector unions vs. everyone else, liberals will continue to lose the debate.
Indeed. And another reader emails: “You left out the ‘No Labels’ crowd. A bigger bunch of liberals would be hard to find.” Oh, right. It’s hard to keep track.
Meanwhile, from Jim Treacher, my favorite Coffee Party headline: The schism in the Coffee Party is so bad, they split up into two different booths at Denny’s.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Richard Samuelson writes: “But can the Left, which for a couple of generations now, has argued that progress ought to be made by officially sanctioned, government approved and organized organizations take on a movement that is truly voluntary, truly spontaneous, and not organized from above? If part of the fight is civil society v. central planning, then, by definition, the Left is going to have a hard time competing for the grassroots, outside of unions, democratic activists, and the rest of the professional Left.”
“Commie Rich”
The REAL outrage is that they will be given our tax money to run their scam. Plus luxury perks for the top dogs.
Excellent!
Even with clandestine financial support and "news" media support, the "central planners" will fail.
I can see it now, several closed-door meetings to brainstorm "movement" goals and objectives (which will sound like something from the Simbionese Army), followed by a vague (and unpublished) list of what they want their disinterested servants to do and say.
Even with assistance from union thugs working to try to overcome the inertia of the "movement", it will fail from top to bottom.
