“convert those beliefs into concrete and uncompromising political power.”
Listen to these Nazis. Need to give them the Mossad treatment. Just sayin’
Bring it, Obamaholes.
CW-II is closer than it appears.
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.
what’s the point of one? the Dem politicians are in lockstep with leftwingers.
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.
Left wing Tea Party? Why, what about the Coffee Party? I heard they had some gatherings where the crowd numbers hit double digits!
So sayeth Sally Commie-Kohn.
The Stalinists could call it "Not Yet Enough Tax". (NYET)
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.
Who is this guy, Sally Kohn?
The modern Democratic Party doesn’t need a left-wing version of the Tea Party. The “mainstream” Democratic Party is already well to the left, and is lurching ever further that direction. There is a reason Liz “Crazy Eyes” Warren has so much backing from the faithful for a 2016 run.
As for Cuomo, he’s grooming himself for his own Presidential run, trying to create a pragmatic-centrist image ala Bill Clinton in the process. Cuomo is one of the least likeable human beings in politics, but he does know where the bread is buttered.
Good grief. The Democrats are already proto-Maoists — how much farther left can they go?
DId she not get the memo? The left wing/MSM has declared Tea Party is actually Tea Bagger - see, if we want our constitutional rights it just means we don’t get out enough to recognize lurid acronyms. Now why does this air headed individual want the left to have their own lurid acronym
“Economic Populism” = A unionized government redistribution apparatus comprised of faceless bureaucrats with SWAT teams.
You’ve already got one. They published their manifesto back in the 19th century. Where we have Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and Sam Adams, you’ve got Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, and Vladimir Lenin.
They have used them, those who espouse their ultimate goals to pull the debate to port, steadily calling even the middle of the road positions 'far right' and 'extremist'.
They have been aided in this by the actions of the mainstream, or at least 'establishment' Republican party, eschewing it's Constitutionalists, ignoring those who argue for original intent, and branding as 'kooks' and "extremists" those who would question the Constitutional authority for so many of the pet vote buying projects of the establishment GOP.
By discarding Conservatives, however, the establishment GOP has left itself open to being accused of being extremist itself, even as the Left portrays its views as "reasonable" and "moderate" in light of the hardcore far-Leftists, Communists, and Socialists.
This weakness has skewed debate farther into the Socialist field, and farther from the Constitutional Republican principles which are the cornerstone of our legitimate government.
We need no left wing tea party--they have been in the streets, with all the right camera angles to make their numbers appear far greater than they are, distorting the political picture since the sixties.
There is already a Leftwing Tea Party, it is called the Mainstream Media.
