When the government is doing what you want them to do, you do not need a "movement"
The folks organizing in the Coffee Party do not feel the government is doing what they want them to do. They, like the Tea Party group, feel that they have needs not met and goals not shared by the government in its current form.
So, they see the need to organize.
So please explain the legitimacy of this movement.
Explained above.
First, why not? This is a reaction to a few different political forces. Gridlock in DC is only one. Some of the folks organizing in this group are disturbed by what they've seen out of the Tea Party and want to organize to stop it.
And finally...why must you personally ridicule those that are expressing their right to free speech by aborting their name and calling them tea baggers?
Why not? I have no issue with some of the issues the Tea Party raises. I personally find them worthy of ridicule because of the antics of their most outspoken, and outright insane, members.
Once the Tea Party rejects its more extreme elements, I'd even be willing to join up. Till then, I have nothing but ridicule for them. But I do take them seriously. That's why I'd support an "anti-Tea Party" movement.
Do you feel the need to ridicule those that disagree with you?
Only when they're being ridiculous. Reasoned debate deserves reasoned response, trite catch phrases and crack pot birther conspiracy theories deserve ridicule.
I'd be hesitant to take the high road here. Most of the folks in this thread so far are a search away from having their own disdain for dissent and willingness to descend into ridicule exposed.
