The Left’s Pathetic Tea Party

The Left’s Pathetic Tea Party The Occupy Wall Street movement is a juvenile rabble.

In the Occupy Wall Street movement, the Left thinks it might have found its own tea party.

MoveOn.org and some unions have embraced the protesters. The left-wing Campaign for America’s Future is featuring them at its conference devoted to reinvigorating progressivism. Liberal opinion-makers have celebrated them — Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne welcomes their spirit, and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof compares them, astonishingly enough, to the demonstrators at Egypt’s Tahrir Square.

This is a sign either of desperation to find anyone on the left still energized after three years of Hope and Change, or of a lack of standards, or both. The Left’s tea party is a juvenile rabble, a woolly-headed horde that has been laboring to come up with one concrete demand on the basis of its — in the words of one sympathetic writer — “horizontal, autonomous, leaderless, modified-consensus-based system with roots in anarchist thought.”

The Right’s tea party had its signature event at a rally at the Lincoln Memorial where everyone listened politely to patriotic exhortations and picked up their trash and went home. The Left’s tea party closed down a major thoroughfare in New York City — the Brooklyn Bridge — and saw its members arrested in the hundreds.

We have a small, pathetic, group in SW Florida, (Englewood, FL) which calls itself the COFFEE Party and thinks everything Obama does is just swell. Of course, the local NY Slimes fishwrapper publishes every letter they write.

“The New York Times quoted one Occupy Wall Street veteran telling a newcomer: “It doesn’t matter what you’re protesting. Just protest.” That captures the coherence of the exercise, which is a giant, ideologically charged, post-adolescent sleepover complete with face paint and pizza deliveries.”

PERFECT!

That is the creepiest pic I have ever seen, LOL!

You are about as simplistic as a dog turd next to a rose bush.
You can't just protest against the financial institutions without changing the structure set up by the political entities that have corrupted those institutions to garner votes.
In 2008 I saw the perfect storm developing...we had a Dem controlled Washington and they were pushing in a Marxist. They completed the downfall of America as we see it today. But before that we had the politicians changing the laws and rules to enable the financial institutions the leeway to manipulate the financial markets. The problem was the institutionalized parties in Washington. Get rid of the old fodder and you can regain control of the country and the capitalist form of government that made this country great.
Otherwise....

They need another letter; T is taken. P for progressive works for me. “P Party.” I like it.

Why not add another T at the end of TEA(T)???

Doesn't that seem to be more fitting for these Socialist Trust Fund Babies???
