More Newsweek garbage

[GeronL]

What a joke. Where is the negative coverage of these clowns?

This woman is an Obama Zombie, btw.

[Jim Robinson]

B/S.

[Kenny]

Where did they get the number 200k? Probably from thin air.

[circlecity]

Their first rally drew a total of 8 people. And at least one of those was a journalist.

[GeronL]

A top-down grassroots movement from an Obama activist

[Travis McGee]

The only roots I can see are the ones at Newsweek.

The Coffee Party Heats Up [Should Tea Partiers Worry?]

No.

They are contrived and not spontaneous or grass roots. They are created in the dem backrooms and trust me, they will have to be bussed in to big events.

[tet68]

If these people are angrier than the tea party maybe the
SPLC ought to be investigating THEM.
Looks like a threat to me.

[BradtotheBone]

Coffee Party? Never heard of it. Are they libertarians or something?

[roylene]

There was one in Santa Barbara, CA. Six people showed up, Tea Party 150.

[darkwing104]

Reminds me of the Aerosmith Classic “Dream On”

[moovova]

No, but be ready for more hyped numbers...

"Coffee Party activists held rally in DC and over 50 million attended."

[Psalm 144]

Rewarmed in the microwave instant decaf.

Yum.

That will sell well.

[BradtotheBone]

Ah, Newsweak. The same rag that brought us the fake “Haditha Incident” that almost railroaded our Marines.

[FlingWingFlyer]

200,000 coffee beaners? ROTFL!!!

Somebody is doing drugs.

[GVnana]

The coffee party is a joke. It’s not even astroturf. Wholly funded by labor union $$$.

[truthguy]

and 200,000 people showed up.

Where have I missed this? This simple cannot be true. It one of the rallies had 200,000 people it would be front page news on every liberal rag in the country. It would be the headline story on all the Networks as well as CNN and MSNBC. What a bunch of garbage.

Newsweak is pathetic and irrevelant.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. if there actually were 500 other “Coffee Parties”, then at least 400 people had to show up for EACH COFFEE PARTY - in order to get 200,000.

Hmmmm ..?? 400 is a lot of people. Since they were probably meeting at the local Starbucks, most probably the groups were 25-30 .. not 400 .. making the true total gatherings around a max of 12,500 for the 500 meeting groups.
