"Coffee Party" had a national convention. Really.

It's "first national convention" or it's last?

Hat tip to Newsbusters...

Is the Coffee Party a movement or a series of High School reunions?

Keep up the good work folks, however... keep in mind, "your" revolution will not be televised.

 

Did they hold it at a Starbucks?

If I'd known, I'd have definitely gone. I like coffee.

 

It was in Newsweek per the the second link in the OP.

Also CNN, NYT, CBS, WaPo (a glowing article plus OpEd space for founder Ms. Park.

Are they calling the coffee potheads racists? Bigots? Dangerous terrorists? Stupid? Any criticism whatsoever?

 

"you can't stop a movement, a movement, a movement"

(especially after several cups of coffee)

So many white people. What's up wit dat?

 

If you can find as much positive reporting by the MSM at the same time that the Tea Party was getting off the ground then power to ya. However I was only posting the above in answer to your question about the MSM coverage. And I did not even include the obvious tour of MSNBC shows that the Coffee Party was praised at or Ms. Park was interviewed on.

The two are comparable in some ways but not others, a context ought to be provided. For example, my beloved Seattle Seahawks are the "coffee party" of the NFL (sans the glowing coverage) in that most have heard of them but they are mostly an ignored small market team. Verses the farking "America's Team" Dallas freakin' Cowboys who get all the attention, national games as well as the scrutiny.
