COFFEE PARTY CANNED… Local Coffee Shop Tells Leftist Group to Get Out (Video)

COFFEE PARTY CANNED–
The local Alton, Illinois chapter of the Coffee Party was told to meet elsewhere after they scheduled a Muslim Speaker for a September 11 meeting. They told the owner of the coffee shop that they were non-political and non-religious. He told them to get lost.
Local KMOV has the report:
The Alton Telegraph reported:
The Riverbend Chapter of the Coffee Party is hosting a special event on Sept. 11 by encouraging a respectful discussion with a patriotic American Muslim…
For the upcoming meeting in Edwardsville, Dr. Khaled A. Hamid, M.D., Ph.D. has agreed to discuss such issues as violence, coercion and war from the perspective of the guidance given in the Quran.
Hamid was born in Egypt and has resided in the United States for some time, completing his clinical fellowship at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University in St. Louis. Hamid has spoken to Muslims and non-Muslims, as well as secular groups, and he also has conducted tours of St. Louis area mosques.
“The Coffee Party Riverbend Chapter is honored to have a dedicated communicator who has worked so hard to improve understanding between diverse groups, address us and answer our questions,” Davis said. “As a member or supporter of the Coffee Party, I pledge to conduct myself in a way that is civil, honest and respectful toward people with whom I disagree. I value people from different cultures, I value people with different ideas, and I value and cherish the democratic process.”
The discussion originally was scheduled to take place at GeGee’s, 333 W. Bethalto Drive in Bethalto, but restaurant owner Jim Allen said he had not given his permission to hold the event on his premises prior to it being advertised.
“I welcome freedom of speech, but I’m not looking for my venue to become a soapbox or a forum for politics or religion,” Allen said. “People assume that a business promotes a particular viewpoint if that happens, and I don’t want to offend anybody.”
Allen, who took over the eatery on July 1, said he wasn’t singling this group out with this policy, because he has declined posting any kind of political signage in the past, as well as not allowing political or religious forums to be held at his business.
During the transition of ownership, Allen allowed the Coffee Party to meet once at his restaurant, mistakenly believing that the members were coffee connoisseurs, he said.
“The Coffee Party told me that this wasn’t a political or religious event, but it’s scheduled for 9/11, so it’s especially hard to believe it isn’t about politics and religion,” Allen said. “We welcome people of any race, religion or creed to come into our restaurant, but I want to keep our business separate from religion and politics.”
What a bummer.

I’ll bet they were cheap as hell too and didn’t spend a nickel there.
You know the type. They bring there own tea bags from home and then ask for hot water and a spoon and then steal all the sugar packets.
Friggin’ humps. Hit the road.
Multitude commented:
Sounds like a good day to go to Allen’s shop to buy coffee. And unlike the Coffee Party, we don’t use foodstamps.

Review.
Coffee Party. Stupid name, stupid idea, non-creative. and Obvious.
Muslim Speaker on 9/11. Stupid idea, stunt, and moronic no matter how well meaning and RETARDED the idea might be.
Libs fall into several “viral strains”. Stupid, Naive, Unionized, Aggrieved by THE MAN, Gay, Minority. Minority gay, Weird, Knuckleheaded, Contrarian, Misfit, Loser, Outcast, Educrat, Youthful idiot, Govt Dependant (includes many crisscrossing strains), Illegal immigrant, SUPPORTERS of Illegal immigrants and plain olde fashioned garden variety LIBTARD.
I spoke to one such Libtard today. I told her Wisconsin’s LIBTARDS were in favor of a HIGH SPEED train between Milwaukee and Madison.
I pointed out that people didn’t want it and we couldn’t afford it.
She told me that the COST was not ALL TAX MONEY.
I calmly asked her WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM.
She told me FEDERAL MONEY.
I pointed out that THAT was indeed TAX MONEY.
She told me that is was JUST SITTING THERE.
gus commented:
the 816 MILLION (it will cost much much more),
Was just sitting there.
If we didn’t build this NOT NEEDED BOONDOGGLE, someone else would WASTE the money.
WOW.

Frontpage has a great video on the 3 things to know about the Koran. Go see, but here’s Number One:
The first half of the Kroan is all peace and nice. The second half is violence , revenge, conquering, jihad.
The Koran specifically states if there is a dispute, then the LATER passages trump the earlier ones. So the violence literally trumps the peace. So, then an apologist can quote gobs of peaceful Koranic verses, without mentioning they are expressly superceded by the violent Koranic verses.

Wanumba, great vid.
This coffee shop owner cracks me up. Gosh, he sounds like an American.
S. Wolf commented:
Yup, he’s an American who doesn’t want the foreign law of Islam in the U.S., he couldn’t have a business in a Muslim country unless he was a Muslim..

hear hear Gus!
Chkn Fryd commented:
Coffee party meets w/ a Muslim on 9/11, obvioulsly subversive Obamunists; Beck goes to the seat of government power to not call attention to government AND YOU ALL BUY IT HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER – priceless.
Don’t be too glad to see the coffee party go; those folks make Teapartiers look like the cool kids from high school.
Steve B commented:
If you know anything at all about the way Islam and dahwah works, most evangelical Muslims see this sort of ecumenicalism detente as weakness they can exploit to further the cause of Islam in a society.
The only Muslims I want to hear from on 9/11 are those who condemn the violent and murderous tactics of the Taliban, Hamas, Al Qeada, etc. If they will not stand up and condemn these groups openly, they are at best a coward, certainly not a “moderate,” and at worst a closet sympathizer.
As a Christian I’ll condemn Fred Phelps and Jerry Falwell to anybody who’ll listen. Of course, I don’t really have to worry about either of those two trying to blow up my house. Well, Phelps maybe.
Andreas K. commented:
Dr. Khaled A. Hamid, M.D., Ph.D. is not an imam, he’s not one of those “law scholars” who issue fatwas all the time. What he has to say about islam is irrelevant and most likely taqqiya.

——————————-
That is absolutely correct. Personally I believe the peaceful part of the koran was written to seduce the Jews into this cult. But the Jews said “no, go away.” Then Mohammed got angry and wrote the rest. And he killed a “few” Jews as well.
I remember a joke. Mohammed is trying to convert a town, but the people don’t believe that he’s a prophet sent to them by god. So Mohammed says in his desparation “The walls will speak for me! They will tell you the truth!” And suddenly the town’s protective walls start to speak! “No! Don’t trust him. He’s a liar.”
Steve B, you will have to wait a long time for these condemnations. Maybe until hell freezes over. Remember 9-11 and how all the “moderate” mohammedans danced in the streets? Yep, they will never condemn it because condemning the attack would mean condemning Mohammed and the koran and they will NEVER do that.
And yes, the attacks of 9-11 are sanctioned by the koran.
The coffee-party is non-political? Since when.
Khan Krum commented:
My brother’s a small businessman. You’d think that this guy would have told these commies to pound sand when they first asked to meet there because their policies are probably taxing him out of business. But, nevertheless, good for him!!!

Private property it’s nothing but an obstacle for lefties.

If the Coffee Party wants to hear about how great it is to be Muslim, all they have to do is listen to obama.

Clean up on isle 9 again. Chicken droppings. Do they ever read what they write??
I know you have trouble with liberty(s) grow up and get a clue.
Libtards twist themselves into knots to prove their point. powder is dry.
Mark1957 commented:
So let’s review; the “coffee party” decides to hold a meeting on 9/11 featuring a Muslim speaker at a private business w/o getting permission from the property owner beforehand. Prints up flyers for the event, then, private property owner says no way, and the “coffee party” calls the property owner a racist & islamaphobic. Priceless.
templar knight commented:
The coffee partiers said:
“…I value people with different ideas…”
Uh-huh, just so long as they aren’t conservative. In that case, they hate you.
Pat commented:
According the “living” Constitution and Congress wide spread claim of the Commerce Clause, the government should be able to force this store keeper into allowing this meeting. It’s where we’re headed.

Tea Parties rally on PUBLIC Property. We do NOT take over a citizen’s business! Anyone local who wants to go to a 9-11 memorial service can come to the corner of Hwys. K & N in Ofallon, MO from 8:30=11:00AM. We will honor the FireFighters and EMTs, Police, and the thousands of victims of 9-11. http://www.StLouisTeaParty.com has info and list of speakers.

Sounds like the “Coffee” Party needs to change its name to the “Gaddafi” Party!
Kemo Sabe commented:
If the coffee party showed up at the local coffee shop would anybody really know they were there?
KR commented:
This coffee party should go experience life in Egypt for a while. Live among these brutal muslims who torture and kill for their beliefs.
Finding a coffee shop to hold a meeting will be the least of their problems.

What, Democrats lie? Shocked here.
fightinggranny commented:
This is private property and the owner has every right to allow or not allow patrons.
No shoes, no shirt, no service comes to mind.
Anne commented:
Does the Coffee Party “value” people with different ideas like, oh let’s see…like those who opposed the victory mosque in NYC?
Crazy horse commented:
He is comparing blacks not being allowed to EAT in a restaurant to having a muslim speak in a restaurant on 9/11? Haven’t you heard, doofus, your race card is maxed out.
Anne commented:
“opposed” should be “oppose”, this will be ongoing for quite a while.
Lonny Jones commented:
I hate you ring wingers with such a passion that I absolutely CAN NOT WAIT till civil war hits in this country so I can help take every last stinking one of you out …
and by the way, you idiots aren’t the only ones with passion about guns..

Crazy Lonny,
Lay off the coffee dude, hate will kill ya.
Nahanni commented:
I would not be a bit surprised to hear that this coffee house was bombed or set on fire by some LLP* whack job like Lonny Jones.
The LLP’s are getting desperate because it is beginning to sink in that not only have they failed miserably they have also succeeded in waking the sleeping giant that is “We The People”. Their waking of the sleeping giant signals the end of everything they have so carefully put into place over the last 70 years from the “climate change” cargo cult to things like affirmative action, the MSM, etc..
Desperate people do desperate acts, as we all witnessed yesterday at the Discovery channel HQ. This will only get worse as time goes on and it will all end badly for the LLP’s. They will, in the end, go the way the members of the Peoples Temple did, the only question is how many innocent people will they take along with them.
*Leftist/Liberal/”Progressive”

Yeah? Name one or two of those blogs that want civil war.. links too thankyouverymuch.. Oh and don’t forget you Democraps have a 0-1 record in civil wars.. losers.
Lonny Jones commented:
OMG you are so dumb .. The democrats in 1860 were the CONSERVATIVES of the day ! Progressive Lincoln administration killed the conservatives just like what will happen to conservatives of 2011 !

My answer:
Lonny, you’re pathetic. Get some psychiatric help before you end up like the Lee guy did yesterday. Even though I consider you a worthless little worm, I don’t wish you dead because I know you’re sick. A pathetic, sick human being, or whats left of one.
Lonny Jones commented:
You seriously didn’t know that? Why do you think so many conservatives of today (rednecks) pay homage to their confederate roots and fly the rebel flag? .. The parties of today are NOT the same parties of 1860 .. Why should it surprise me that you, as a conservative, are too uneducated to even realize that

Lonny Jones,
You sound rabid.
Go bite yourself!
S. Wolf commented:
Lonny Jones #39
That’s right.. I seriously didn’t know that and neither do you. You are so full of s**t you need to clear your throat every few minutes.. c’mon, where is your proof about all those MANY MANY right wing blogs wanting civil war? Surely you can name one or two with links.
Lonny Jones commented:
citizenwells, thepostemail, etc , Go look in the previous posts on their and you will see many instances of people calling for armed conflict because of “usurper in whitehouse, so they say”
Don’t act like or pretend it’s not there. Look it up you big fat idiot.
S. Wolf commented:
I’m supposed to waste my valuable time looking up ‘your’ proof? Heh.. it doesn’t work like that. You present proof of your assertions, I don’t.
Lonny Jones commented:
“I’m supposed to waste my valuable time looking up ‘your’ proof? ”
You asked for links, I gave you links you dumb little inbred monkey for brains idiot. Thats what you asked for , but when I give it , you act like a friggin idiot who doesn’t know up from down… No wonder people consider conservatives to barely have evolved from neanderthals – BOY ARE YOU DUMB. …
templar knight commented:
“citizenwells, the postemail, etc, Go look in the previous posts on their and you will see…”
Truly, you don’t need to be calling anyone dumb. You didn’t capitalize citizenwell, you didn’t put a period after etc., you capitalized go when it shouldn’t have been, and you misused their(it should have been there). You are ignorant as well as sick.
Lonny Jones commented:
“Truly, you don’t need to be calling anyone dumb. You didn’t capitalize citizenwell”
It’s a WEBSITE you friggin IDIOT! You don’t capitalize a friggin website/blog address !!! >.. WOW – you are such a f-ing RETARD!!!!!!!!!!
Lonny Jones commented:
You don’t like that do you? I AM RABID. You damn right I am. I am sick to death of you thugs and I want to see you burn.
I hate you with such a passion that I REJOICE the day when civil war hits because I along with millions of others will put an end to each and every one of you when it happens.
templar knight commented:
You capitalize the first word of a sentence, and I see you didn’t care to address all the other points I made, so my conclusion that you’re a dumb ass stands. And I’m glad you admitted you’re rabid, because we all know what has to be done when something is rabid. And all your tough talk is just that, all talk and no action.
If you aren’t a coward, then get the ball rolling, sonny. Otherwise, STFU, you lame little worm.
Lonny Jones commented:
“And I’m glad you admitted you’re rabid, because we all know what has to be done when something is rabid.”
Well do something about it mr. yellow conservative. Lets see you try ….
Lonny Jones commented:
By the way: Do you spend a lot of time on conservative blogs? Go browse some of your fellow conservative’s comments and play spell checker — you’ll be spending 24/7 of your time doing such – as conservative’s have the lowest respect of the English language of any group of people in the United States. Go compare a liberal site to a conservative and you’ll see who generally has the better grammar and spelling. It certainly isn’t people you call your allies.
templar knight commented:
The authorities put down rabid dogs, idiot. As for myself, I’m right here in Snyder, Texas. Most people know me and where I live. You can come on down here anytime, I’m pretty much available after I feed my livestock every morning.
Lonny Jones commented:
Looks like the “authorities” denied Mr. Lakins request to go snooping in Obama’s background today in court. I wonder what side those authorities are on anyway? … Do you really think the so called “authorities” will be on your side when civil war hits? Hell no. We will all be rounding you moths up and throwing you in FEMA death camps.

From one Texan to another.. ignore the boy, he doesn’t know what he is talking about..
templar knight commented:
S. Wolf,
It’s pretty hard to ignore someone who is proposing mass murder, but I’ve always said if you scratch a liberal you will get a totalitarian nut. And I was right. Of course, he is the type who will let someone else do his fighting for him, and he is nothing but a cowardly worm. He needs his ass whipped, but he would run like a girl and pee his pants if confronted. I know his type as I’ve dealt with them while I was in college.

Yup.. that’s the type. Talks big about guns and killing.. but I bet he wouldn’t be so brave down here in the Great State of Texas.
Lonny Jones commented:
There is going to be a new Aushwitz type concentration camp for conservatives … FEMA has them ready in every state and there are many brown shirts like me who will help the gov lead you idiots to slaughter like the dumb cattle that you are.
we hate you like the germans hated the jews in WW2 and will have no problem hitting the gas switch when the time comes.

Interesting, this guy thinks liberals are a LARGE MAJORITY. LOL your obviously not watching the tsunami happening at tea parties and 8/28. As for your guns, yeah I have a few, but training ahhhh that is the ticket. Having a plan for combat and resitance too. Having a network of supplies and friends. Most of your friends would not lift a finger. If your so anxious to kill conservatives then why are you not on the evening news for killing any. You talk tough but that is all it is. Your last rant just shows the hate filled Liberal/Democrat you are. You think WE are going to be herded?? SON get some professional help. IF the FED finds the thread you just wrote, they would have a good case to confiscate your guns and throw you in jail for terroristic threats. This is what Lib’s don’t get, the rule of law is what keeps us from anarchy. I’ll marginalize your type by a peaceful exchange of power at the ballot box. More fun to watch you squirm. Lib’s like what is happening now but afraid of the hacked of AMERICAN public. WE are many YOU are few. powder is dry, choke on it.
Lonny Jones commented:
Oh , seriously? I could be in Jail? you really think so? Should I lol or cry? haha…
If former Alan Keyes vice presidential running mate Willy Drake can say he prays for the presidents death and STILL BE A FREE MAN , I really honestly believe I’m safe from prosecution dude… Seriously. I bet I could even step it up a notch or two. Wanna wager?
Lonny Jones commented:
If conservative Wiley Drake can pray for the presidents death and still be a free man — Well I’m damn confident I’m going to remain free for PRAYING AND BEGGING AND HOPING AND CALLING FOR THE DEATH OF ALL CONSERVATIVES.
Lonny Jones commented:
Little irony there huh … you would think Wiley Drake would be in Jail wouldn’t ya? But I guess no conservative outrage for a fellow conservative issuing terroristic type threats toward a man you hate (Obama) …
By the way, Those of you suggesting I get out there and do some killing — actually I’m not going to break the law. I’m waiting on actual war to hit, you know – the civil war variety — before I sign up to kill… You see- When that happens, I can legally kill you people whom I hate and there is nothing you can do about it unless I end up a P.O.W. – Which if I’m dumb enough to let that happen, slaughter me — otherwise it’s all fair game right?
Lonny Jones commented:
Just looking for a little moral guidance man. Because in the world of conservatism in America; People can end up a little confused and directionless. Looking for moral guidance from a conservative would be like a Jew asking advice from a Nazi brownshirt circa 1940 ….
Lonny Jones commented:
American Conservatives:
I absolutely **HATE** liars. and I **HATE** hypocrites and more than anything in this world – I HATE YOU.
Lonny Jones commented:
Seriously .. Mr. Hoft . I’m no danger to you or your conservative minions. Well, that is unless you back a conservative military coup against this administration – or other type of conservative violent uprising — well, in that case we would be in full out civil war and ALL OF OUR remaining days would be filled with fear and anger and oppression and violence.. Do you really want that? Keep up your hate filled rhetoric and you’ll end up pushing the far right into that type of result. and seriously – I’ll blame people like you , and Rush and Beck, and Pam, etc etc etc . We will hold you accountable if you push the country into chaos with your dangerous rhetoric.
I know that sounds ironic considering my own rhetoric is more immediately hostile but you have to consider something called BLOW BACK. Hate breeds hate. Keep pushing it though and you’ll get the destruction you seem to think is inevitable anyway. Something called SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY. That’s why I hate you.
Stop dividing and destroying us please.

Again, the truth is what you fear. You do not have the truth in you nor the stomach for it. This is always what Lib’s fear. Obama cannot take ownership for his failed policies over two and a half years after the implementation of them. Plus , before you rant, he voted for the BUSH TARP program I and other conservatives DID NOT WANT. WE out here (including many liberals) are the producers. Government is a parisite with no production. That is how the public in general knew the economy was going to tank.
As for your hate, sucks being you. I will not live in a world such as you have built for yourself. Your as bad if not worse than the terrorists. At least they cannot find the truth due to their ideology. Oh, swerved into the truth there didn’t I. You can’t either due to YOUR ideaology. The truth stinks, but you know what I can make good decisions based on it. You can’t. Obama and crew want to take down the current American system of Capitalism and put in place socialism. Plain and simple. (they think the current level of cash flow will remain the same, followers of static economic theory). We in the real world know that dynamic is the truth. Cange the rules and the public/economy change to adapt their life style. Thus self fullfilling prophecey of a recession/depression due to liberal policies. Educate yourself, also, having a discussion with yourself on a dead thread shows an underlying need for validation. Either go postal or seek some professional help. You hate conservatism due to your loathing of the truth. Sorry, can’t change reality and the rules can you? powder is dry.
