Opponents of the Tea Party movement tried responding to the conservative grassroots movement nicely -- by creating the inclusive, deliberative Coffee Party.
But now they're ready to get mean.
A new progressive group called the Agenda Project has launched the "F*ck Tea" campaign. "Progress is the real American party," reads the campaign website's tag line.
"Set aside your good manners, your tolerance, your measured understanding of policy differences, and your earnest do-gooder ideas for a just a moment to join me in telling the Tea Party what you really think of them," Agenda Project founder Erica Payne said in a press release.
The Agenda Project describes itself as "a public policy organization dedicated to building a powerful, intelligent and well-connected political movement capable of identifying and advancing rational, effective, non-ideological ideas in the public debate."
F*ck Tea is one of several projects the group is advancing to push back against what Payne calls "the rhetoric over results paradigm that is holding our country hostage."
The campaign is selling products like mugs and t-shirts with "F*ck Tea" emblazoned across them and plans to sell other products like a "Glenn Beck Bowl Buddy."
While the Tea Party and the subsequent Coffee Party are grassroots, decentralized movements, Payne's Agenda Project is structured as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit. Payne is a former Democratic National Committee official who has founded other organizations like the Democracy Alliance, a group of liberal donors whose partners have invested over $100 million in progressive organizations.

Don't give them any new ideas. Next thing after that, they'd be claiming it on their insurance and asking for special access to public accommodations under the ADA.
Well, the Coffee Party isn’t “grassroots” either.
The usual liberal “class”.
Give ‘em a little more rope. They are doing our work for us.
Michael Savage “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder”. Not sure how long ago he wrote it but he’s right. They’re kooks!

Hostage?
White House: DEM
Senate: DEM
House: DEM
Supreme Court: Don't get me started.
The steering wheels are in YOUR hands, bozo. Don't complain about ME if you don't like where we're going.
Liberals: real class.
Liberals think about this alot. Not just in regards to Tea Party members, but also same gender persons, butt holes, children and animals. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Of all my tax-dollars that have gone into “Liberal Arts” program, this is the best these clowns can come up with? Disguised curse words? How about F*** Liberals?
The Coffee Party was proved to be AstroTurf; a sponsored movement made to appear as grassroots but started by the politicians.
Aiming to attract classy people with that by-name.

Yeah, because leftist marxscum have been so tolerant and understanding.
These idiots really don’t want to push us off of being civil. We are. We will remain so beyond a ridiculous point of provocatione. In fact, we have.
But there are limits. These idiots better remember: Beware the anger of patient men and women.
PS This is just another re-branded (barely) coffee party. Will be a similar utter failure.
Of course, if a group of Republicans set up an anti-Zero group with that name in the title, we’d be lambasted by the media as hateful racists.
Hah!
From my experience, most Democrats STAY ready "to get mean".
And when this effort flops, what’s next?
Indeed Payne is a former Democratic National Committee official.She and her tribe are people who love misery and want everone else to be in the same state,what a bunch of idiots with sheit for brains see their leader Obama.
What is this? How can ideas be non-ideological?
Maybe they are thinking of just random thoughts that pop into their heasds as they are walking down the street.
Couldn’t beat the Tea Party on the issues so they started the “teabaggers” insult.
Couldn’t beat them there so they started infiltrating.
Couldn’t win there so they started the Coffee party.
Couldn’t win there so now they’re just flat-out, crudely name-calling.
Once that fails, all they’ll have left is violence.
