NY Times Plugs Team Obama's Latest Astroturfed Org "Coffee Party"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 3:39 PM
This is why it’s called the Democratic-Media Complex…
Kate Zernike, the same NT Times reporter who slandered Jason Mattera at CPAC, wrote another lib piece today promoting Team Obama’s latest astroturfed organization, the “Coffee Party.”
Fed up with government gridlock, but put off by the flavor of the Tea Party, people in cities across the country are offering an alternative: the Coffee Party.
Growing through a Facebook page, the party pledges to “support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them.”
It had nearly 40,000 members as of Monday afternoon, but the numbers were growing quickly — about 11,000 people had signed on as fans since the morning.
“I’m in shock, just the level of energy here,” said the founder, Annabel Park, a documentary filmmaker who lives outside Washington. “In the beginning, I was actively saying, ‘Get in touch with us, start a chapter.’ Now I can’t keep up. We have 300 requests to start a chapter that I have not been able to respond to.”
Of course, Zerkike does not tell you that Annabel Park is a former Strategy Analyst at the NY Times who was one of organizers and operators of the United for Obama video channel . You would find that out at Legal Insurrection.
What horrid reporting.
UPDATE: And for chocolate lovers… there’s now a Cocoa Party.

I like how in other reports the coffee-people praise the Nanny State as being merely “the collective will of the people.”
Hear that, kulaks? Take your individual right to life, liberty and property and GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE COLLECTIVE.

I wonder, does the NYTimes think it’s alright for team Obama to be the president of a minority, instead of all the country?
Barracuda commented:
Monkey see, monkey do anyone? Why must the left always try to coopt popular symbols of the right? The Christian fish gets popular, and we see the Darwin fish pop up. WWJD gets popular, the left turns it into rainbow bracelets and “We Want Jack Daniels.” Now they’re trying to coopt the Tea Party. Especially ridiculous because looking at their goals if you decode the lib Newspeak, it basically reads: “Forcing our political opponents to shut up and remove themselves from the political process.” Oooooh, 40,000 nationwide? When you can put a million people in the streets then you can talk.

Horrid reporting? Did you expect anything less? It’s going to be a happy day when the NYT finally closes its doors for good.

How are they planning on holding us accountable, anyway? Big show trial before they execute the uppity Proles?

How?
Gulag here we come?
Amy commented:
I’m Professor Amy, and I’m pumped up to the point of being off-putting about Barack Obama! Thank you, New York Times, for capturing our energy.
Major Kong commented:
Yeah, yeah. I’m sure it’s shade-grown, rain forest-friendly decaf coffee being served. How freakin’ lame.

Our press has collectively surpassed the worst of Soviet state-owned press in its propaganda efforts. If any are still alive who ran the media in the USSR, they’re looking at the US media in utter amazement, saying “Wow, they’re GOOD!”

LOL@Solaratov! PERFECTO!

If the Times falls in the woods, does it make a sound?
Galt commented:
The quotes at Legal Insurrection are priceless. The Lefty organizer running the operation calls it:
“a different model of civic participation.”
LOL: yeah, “forced collectivization” is way different from my idea of civic participation.
I am so looking forward to the NYT going out of business.
Valerie commented:
All it took was just a little inquiry.
Jo commented:
The Coffee party was created to reflect the sentiment of the NAZI BrownShirts. Coffee is brown, thus the reference. Democrats hate Jews and love anti-Hebrew groups such as Hamas. al-Bozo is their Mhadi leader.
DANEgerus commented:
So can we all use misogynist asian slurs against this little astro-turfing Commie fraud, Annabel Park, like the Leftists use against Michelle Malkin? How about I start off and wish this little NorK a quick trip home to her comrades? “Teabagger” smears, Nancy Pelosi(D)’s lies, faux-teaparty frauds and now this little arrogant beotch. Next up please?
mrt commented:
Once again the NYT is way behind in it’s ‘reporting’.
Liberal coffee parties have been around for years:

So in the great tradition of the left shall we throw as much dirt as we can as see what sticks?

Coffee party. Can we refer to them as the perks? The drips? Coffee Beaners?
Baby Elephant commented:
Waaaaaahh! Bullies!! Cheaters!!! Why can’t those nasty Democrats be honest, fair and thoughtful like us Repugnicans??!!!
Jo commented:
Coffe Party = NAZI Brown Shirts.

Oh, no…coffee parties are so five minutes ago.

And the historical significance of the “coffee party” is what again? This so-called “movement” is laughable.
pjean commented:
Will Starbucks being jumping on this one? Didn’t they make some snarky ad about the tea parties?
avery commented:
Coffe don”t stay hot very long.
JKB commented:
Call me when the Beer Party is started. A party dedicated to bringing people together to settle their differences over a frosty mug. And yes, the federal government is the enemy. Remember Prohibition. So are the state distributor cartels. But will anyone cringe at being called a kegger?
avery – you are correct that coffee doesn’t stay hot very long. And when it cools it turns bitter.

Decaf.

Screw this. I’m going to found a Beer Party.
Andreas K. commented:
Addition: 40k members on Facebook? Yeah, very impressive. Not. How many of those are even real people and how many are fake accounts?

And If you are tired of freezer burn and spoiled food you can join the ” Tupperware Party” HAHAHAHA.
