Millions thousands hundreds dozens A small handful of concerned citizens, self-dubbed “coffee partiers”, descended on bucolic West Belleville, Illinois in a show of support for ObamaCare and in opposition to the evil, racist tea partiers.
The Belleville News-Democrat (naturally) tells the story of this massive liberal success:
West Belleville resident Jenny Moon was frustrated with her observations of the political system.
Earlier this year, she joined a Facebook group that has concerns about extreme political tactics and partisan bickering.
“A lot of people were disgruntled with how politics is gridlocked right now,” Moon said.
On Saturday, she hosted the first Coffee Party USA in Belleville. It was open to the public.
Of the seven people who met midday at Oregon Trail Roasting Co. at 201 W. Main St. in Belleville, only three had a cup of coffee. One drank a Fitz’s root beer.
The group, which started in January, wants to see cooperation in government, according to its Web site. Participants will set plans for “Coffee With Congress,” which are meetings with lawmakers.
Some people at the Belleville meeting claimed to be Republicans, some were Democrats, while others were independents or confused.
The last word of the story is not only classic, it’s absolutely accurate.

absolutely, they should get a few million dollars of federal funding to help them level the playing field
"Confused" seems about right.
These people are not the "Coffee Party"; they are the Kool-Aid Party. And, man, do they love drinking it!
How sad. I'm sure sooner or later they will get some kind of funding from the democrats since it's not fair the tea party is successful and the coffee party is not. All they need is a million or two to get started.
I bet it took them four months to decide on officers for their pathetic group. Instead of having "Coffee with Congress," they should just have a "Beer with Barack."
i feel bad for them, you know the man/woman? on the far right is just thinking "jesus christ, we suck so much"
anybody notice how f*cking racist this coffee party is? where are the blacks? godamn nazis! on top of that, look how rich they are, do you know how much coffee costs in a fancy ass coffee house?
(note that ive been meaning to make about the left: if they hate capitalism, why do they enjoy paying so much extra money for a (barely) better cup of coffee?)
What does J.C. & G. have to do with this?
So after four months they could only gather seven people to bother to show up. Awesome. It took what a few weeks maybe less for hundreds of tea party associations to spring with hundreds to thousands members in each? Uhm...
If they take this on a tour they will need the short bus!
