Re: [RC] Coffee Party

[David R. Block]

Except that the founder was employed by the Obama Campaign and the New York Times. Neither fact was disclosed in the Times' gushing article of praise. Gee, can't imagine why not. Some of the hate posts on her twitter feed towards conservatives means that she's no centrist, radical or otherwise. Astroturf. And there are more liberals than conservatives on Facebook? That's old news. There's this one guy on Facebook whom I have been on Postmodern Christian groups with for years who wants me to join the group "Pat Robertson does not speak for me." Problem is, if he had been paying attention all of those years he should have noticed that I was one of the most consistent brick-bat throwers at Rev. Robertson. But no, I must join this group or I agree with Pat Roberson and everything that he says. David "A pleasant natural environment is a good - a luxury good, philosophical good, a moral goody-good, a good time for all. Whatever, we want it. If we want something, we should pay for it, with our labor or our cash. We shouldn't beg it, steal it, sit around wishing for it, or euchre the government into taking it by force."--P. J.

They're frustrated liberal activists, disheartened conservatives and political newborns. They're young and old, rich and poor, black, white and all shades of other.   Born on Facebook just six weeks ago, the group boasts more than 110,000 fans, as of Friday morning. The Coffee Party is billed by many as an answer to the Tea Party (more than 1,000 fewer fans), a year-old protest movement that's steeped in fiscal conservatism and boiling-hot, anti-tax rhetoric.   This new group calls for civility, objects to obstructionism and demands that politicians be held accountable to the people who put them in office.     _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: Centroids@radicalcentrism.com http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/
