True. I apologize for the straw man.
But still, are you very familiar with the structure and effectiveness of grassroots organizing? I do - I work in the field. To defend the tea parties and ridicule the coffee parties is hypocritical.
I mean, pick one or the other. Defend them both - or ridicule them both. Don't make false distinctions between the two to justify hypocrisy.
I started participating early on in my local Tea Party, so I'm pretty familiar with how that has worked. I'll contrast that with the coalition of the Obama Campaign-Administration, Moveon.org, ACORN, and Organizing for America. The Tea Partiers are nothing like the Obama umbrella. Perhaps the Coffee Party is not part of the umbrella org, but the background of the founder indicates otherwise, imo.
You see, the problem here is that "The Obama Umbrella" is a meaningless term. How do you define that? Are you one of the conspiracy nuts who believe that MoveOn and ACORN (which, by the way, doesn't exist anymore - you cons won, and now thousands of low-income families will suffer for it) are "controlled" by the White House?

There is a lot of disillusion among Obama supporters because they view the White House as being too much top down in its management approach. They expected a more collaborative environment in Organizing for America. It's one of the reasons why Obama has failed to garner support for his health care program, imo - there isn't grassroots enthusiasm for it like there was for his campaign.
Hey, the tea parties were calling themselves "teabaggers" before they knew what it was. It was only when everyone else started snickering at them that they "shunned" the name. They brought that on themselves. Man, you cons really do have a SERIOUS issue with remembering the past.

From Wiki:
In a 14 March report on Fox News, Griff Jenkins said, "ReTeaParty.com has a headline, 'Teabag the fools in DC on Tax Day.' They want you ... to take a tea bag, put it an envelope, and mail it to the White House."[17]
Source video link.
There's also references to signs that Tea Party goers themselves made that used "Tea bag" as a verb that helped kick these things off. That isn't exactly calling themselves "Teabaggers", but its an example of how that term got applied to them.
And here we have the Coffee Party "founder" Annebel Park ...
So please explain the focus of a joke on the woman's ethnicity? What am I missing here?
The joke was meant as an insult, no?
we are not impressed. show us your outrage at all the insults to white Republicans.. whydonchya?
White Republicans and White Democrats get insulted all the time. But it is usually, NOT because they are white.
If one says Rush Limbaugh is stupid fat white guy, it is in the context of him using racial code words or phrases and being a jerk. It's like picking on an anti-gay gay politician who is a closet case and not picking on a closeted politician who is NOTanti-gay.
Very rarely is a Republican picked on just because they are white.
Sinatra used the ethnic identity/heritage of a woman he's never met, a woman he probably knows very little about, except that she cares about Asians in public life and she liked Obama.
Yoko Ono, is an Asian woman with baggage...wee all know of her primal screams and her avante garde stuff, and the hostility directed at her (unfairly) because the Beatles broke up.
Sinatra in attempting to berate and make fun out of the woman in question, decided to draw a connection, a correlation between these women. Are you the one who made the lame attempt of a defense?
What did Sinatra mean to imply?
It's okay to be politically incorrect and to use racist stereotypes. I'm guilty of it myself...but unlike Sinatra, I man up.
Unlike you and he, I have no group come to my defense by saying "others did it too" because that my dear is a whine without the cheese.
more proof of white inferiority complex.
what aches me is Sinatra is an embarrassment to white people everywhere.
fuckin' cowardly victim.

Funny.. that is not calling themselves "teabaggers", as you said... if anything the derogatory that should have come out of it is that you big gubmint lefty types are indeed the teabagees...
Ah, a few Big Government libs are now attempting to organize a "Coffee Party" in opposition to the grassroots wave of anti-big government populism represented by the Tea Party movement.
The Coffee Party folks talk in earnest implorations of the need to get things done - No more gridlock they say! Why, we "have no healthcare and can't pay our rent" the say!
Here is the Coffee Party "creator" - an ultra liberal open-borders DC filmaker named Annabel Park. She is a "community activist" who worked actively for Obama under the guise of "AsianAmericansforObama" back in 2008. (Yeah, wonder who is funding her self-made political "movement", eh?) Watch as she invokes her inner Yoko and tells the grand tale of the beginnings of the great movement now known as "Coffee"...
