Is the coffee party a bust or just starting to rev up?
I have no clue what this thing is about. I joined on Facebook but I'm not sure where this is going.

Are we going to use this as a counterpoint to the tea party?

1. It looks like a great idea
So why is there so little talk about here on DU?

2. I don't get it. The Tea party was developed by the crazy wing of the Thugs.
Why would we want a party to counter their crazy wing?

3. I went to one. There were about 20 people. Seems they wanted to talk mostly.
So we broke into small groups.

Just kind of got to know one another.

Batted around the idea of acting as a kind of rhetorical referee for campaigns.

No email list, which bothered me, because you can talk sooooooooooo much better by means of email

The venue was wrong. We will try to meet again in a better place.

5. The don't preach hate and violence and right wing radical ideas
so they are not covered by CNN and Fox like the tea bags are. Those two cable and all the networks love hate and violence and would mess their collective underwear 100 times over if the shooting started by the tea bags.
