Party like it's 2008

Did you see the Hot Air post on the "Coffee Party" movement?  If you didn't, their founder, Annabel Park is claiming that it's an alternative to the Tea Party movement that's based on stuff like "cooperation" between the parties in Washington.

Um, yeah. You may want to sit down for this, but it turns out that Park is (GASP!) an Obamaton...



Well, I guess she had some foresight there about Obama taking over bankrupt companies, so she's got that going for her.

By the way, it took me about ten seconds to find that video and decide to mention that Park was an Obama supporter going back to the 2008 primaries. Which was apparently too difficult for WaPo Staff Writer Dan Zak, who never mentioned it in his article, though he took pains to mention that another of the new Coffee Party group's members, Alan Alborn, voted for George W. Bush and Obama. Yeah.

It's bi-partisan, see?

Update: Gee, Ms. Park sure is a real non-partisan voice for Change in Washington. How did that (and by "that," I mean her previous association with an organized leftist convention) possibly slip Dan Zak's attention?

Well, we may never know.

1 I get the feeling Zak really didn't want to ask.

2 I think this Annabelle Park is the same flake that is a cohort/sidekick of Eric Byler, wannabee "documentary filmmaker" who did the 9500 Liberty series about the illegal sign in Manassas, VA and the subsequent demonization of the pro-enforcement crowd in Prince William County, VA.

If so, she's always been an Obamatron and a big time Astroturfer and is 250% flake.  It doesn't surprise me that she would be floating something so childish, ridiculous and off-tempo --- these two are always seeking some controversy to extend their 15 minutes of fame.

Mock her for the fool that she is.

3 Yup.

4 The story implies that she was an Obama supporter; it's so evident that I didn't think it needed mentioning. I did make sure to note that she campaigned for Jim Webb. If you read the full story, you'll also see that, indeed, she is the same Annabel Park who did 9500 Liberty. I made no effort to hide any of that. As the story says, she's a progressive activist.

5 Sorry, Dan, but I don't see anywhere in your article where she and Obama are mentioned in the same sentence, much less any mention that she drank a big ol' glass of the Hopey Changey Kool Aid as far back as at least 2008.  On the other hand, I see a lot of language about "compassion," "conversation" between the two sides, and coming together in the middle, which makes her sound a lot more like a centrist than an Obama partisan.

Oh, and don't you think there are more than a few differences between Webb and Obama?

6 Also, I've read your article through four or five times after seeing your comment here, Dan, and Annabel Park is never identified specifically as a "progressive activist" anywhere in the text.

Go back, read what appeared on the WaPo site (I understand that something you wrote may have been edited out) and show me where she is ever clearly identified as such.

The only specific mention of anybody's voting record in your piece is Alborn's, which is conspicuous to suspicious bloggers like me because of the fact that you made sure to mention that he voted both for Dubya and Obama.  Hmmmm...why would you go out of your way to mention that?

Could it be that you were trying to imply that the Coffee Party people were a bi-partisan bunch?

7 What is interesting to me is the sudden need for a counter-group to the Tea Party.

As someone who has been active in Tea Parties since April of 2009, and went to the rally on the Mall on 9/12, I have listened with amusement as the movement has been dismissed as "non-existent", and inconsequential.  The number of people at the Mall was amazing, and would have been more had the Obama administration not played games with shutting down the Metro for "maintenance", stranding citizens at the Vienna metro, turning back buses filled with protestors, and any other manner of cheap tricks, all the while having Gibbels state "what Tea Party?  There was a protest?".

I've endured the ruly frightening level of irrational anger from the Left for years -- my car has been vandalized and spat upon by anti-military protestors because it has a military decal on it, terrifying my children, and my husband's young Marines have also been the victim of vicious Left hate.  One young Marine had recently purchased a brand new Mustang, only to have a "concerned" protestor carve a Swatika into the hood.  But, I'm just supposed to let that go, dismiss it as okay, turn the other cheek, only to get slapped again while the Obamatron appartachiks and their enablers in the MSM identify Tea Party protestors peacefully assembling to voice their concerns as "domestic terrorists".

I must thank the Obots, though.  I no longer have cable because I can't stomach the lies and spin anymore; and I haven't had a subscription to the Wash Post for years, when it became obvious the only corruption and scandal they are interested in uncovering and publishing are scandals about Republicans -- during Pelosi's reign over the "most ethical Congress ever" there has been barely a peep. 

The mood of the country is indeed changing, and the Left has lost their power to demonize and quiet the Loyal Opposition. I fully understand that by voicing disapproval or dissent to any of the media-approved Progressive agenda I am a "hater", "racist" and "dangerous terrorist".  Got it. Check, check, check.  But such screeds don't make me back down, they make me more engaged in changing my community back to a place where there is freedom, liberty and individual choice -- and accountability -- the corollary to Pelosi et al's vision of a grand Nanny State.

I must also thank the Obots and the PUMAs.  Before the election I was never engaged politically -- I may have written a letter to the Editor on a few times, but I never really followed political blogs.  Reading what was happening during the primaries and the rise of the PUMAs in response to the hateful, vitriolic misogyny of the Obama campaign changed all that.  I definitely pay attention now.  In fact, I'm going to my first local Board of Supervisor meeting to protest tax increases and spending at a local level.
