Van Jones And MoveOn.org Start New Group Billed As The “Progressive Answer To The Tea Party”…
Coffee Party 2.0?
(AlterNet) — Tonight, in New York City’s venerable Town Hall, Van Jones, arguably the most visible progressive “organizer” in America, and surely one of the country’s best orators, steps up to assume a bigger role — that of major progressive strategist and visionary. Tonight is Jones’ opening gambit in a large-scale, ambitious effort to create what many hope will be the progressives answer to the Tea Party.
Jones, with major support from MoveOn.org and other groups, will present a big-picture vision for mobilizing progressive forces of many types and stripes under the patriotic umbrella brand of the “American Dream Movement.” The goal is nothing less than a broad “open source” movement of millions who, via organizing, house parties, events, technological savvy, and electoral activity, will attempt to shift America’s focus away from the budget-cut mentality and the protection of big corporations and banks, to the human and economic support of tens of millions of unemployed and downsized Americans, including returning war vets and young people. (The event, which also features musical group the Roots, will be streamed live beginning at 8:15pm EDT on many Web sites, including AlterNet. Tune in tonight.)
There is much anticipation for this moment, and more than a little skepticism. Many have been wringing their hands, wondering why progressives seem so impotent in the face of the Tea Party. We’ve been hugely disappointed in the Obama administration for not mounting a more populist, people-oriented challenge to the corporate and banking dominance of our economic system, which has resulted in both the bailout of the banks, and the obscene shift of wealth to an increasingly small number of super-rich Americans. Jones hopes to offer an answer.

Yet another answer to the Tea Party. Why don’t they just admit what everyone knows and go full commie?
If the Tea Party is as insignificant as liberals say, then why do they need an answer to it?
——–
- The Coffee Party
- The F*ck-Tea Party
- The Orange Juice Party
- The Third Way
How many times are liberals going to keep trying the same failed idea?
Do liberals ever have original ideas, or do they rely totally on historical revision?
.
Dead on arrival.
Kool-aid party
And it fails because they totally miss the point as to why and how the TEA party formed.
Bunker – Bingo! They don’t understand. Period.
Van Jones is a major league whackadoodle. Trying to build a movement around him will be the greatest thing to happen to the Tea Party since the Tea Party.
Keep dreaming shitball. VJ, you are a total looser and all your classmates have stated so. You and O are one of the same… no personal achievements, no business success, no direction, no values, good tokers and snorters, always angry at the “whiteman” and you both love Islam because it hates the Jew and the White man.
You are the definition of parasitic scum….guess what—we are not going to take this bullshit anymore.
Your time is up…time to fess up to a meritocracy
The could have just called it, “The 2nd coming of the Communist Revolutionary
party.” Don’t hide behind the label any longer, come right out and tell America
what you intend to do and why, and maybe Obama will be your first member….
They keep pouring millions into these stupid organizations, web sites, movements and none of them take off. Hey let’s change the name and if that doesn’t work, let’s start another party with a new name, and if that doesn’t work let’s start another movement and if that …..
The ADHD party.
LOL!!!
LOL This should be fun to watch! Train wreck before it even gets started.
He can call it whatever he wants…
But van jones is still a communist
So that is why obama is in New York tonight? Bet he makes a suprise visit.
A black communist and with a new name out-house communist party
he he he he he he he he
I’m stealing the term whackadoodle proof
the funny thing is that its progressives who support big corporations and banks, and end up screwing average working Americans by pushing their whacky agenda.
“Green jobs visionary Van Jones will lay down the truth about the economy the way Al Gore did about the environment…”
What a money quote! So, where are all those green jobs, Mr., um… Visionary! And you’re going to ‘lay down the truth’ (a little urban lingo for y’all!) the way (snicker), Al Gore (snicker, snicker), did about the environment…
This should be a riot.
Ummmm rebuilding a dream, of course they want to rebuild
the first one was a nightmare. As well as this next one. It almost
appears that they teach stupid in college, or train for it someplace
inside the DC
Van Jones can go back to hell, where he came from
Q: What do you get when you cross an asshole commie like Van Jones with the remnants of the “Coffee Party?”
A: The Coffee Colonics
If these people weren’t such a threat to freedom and liberty, this would be funny.
As long as Soros keeps doling out the billions, parasites like Baldy will keep up the charade.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, “The Insider” reports the Badministration is in a panic over King Putt’s re-election numbers.

Van Jones the Commie Was Farted On

“…part tent revival and part concert…”–like anyone of them would have a clue what a tent revival was! It had to do with CHRISTIANITY, guys! You know, that thing you avoid like the plague?
Hey Van Jones, how about becoming the first member of the Drain-O party?
I watched the whole thing to see what he had in mind. He is a smooth speaker if you don’t know the facts. Needless to say, the main idea was fat cats bad, unions and government good. Ft cats must pay (coming from someone who works for one of the biggest fat cats in the world.)
His final minutes were a condescending attack on the Tea Party, talking about how his group (the real patriots) will be called “Deep Patriots”. He said they will fight for all Americans, even for the nasty tea partiers. Apparently (according to Van), tea partiers want cops, firefighters and teachers to all be cut from budgets while we support our fat cats. Funny, I don’t know of a single tea partier who has called for a reduction in the number of cops, firefighters or teachers. I’m also pretty sure tea partiers were never for bailouts, but Van seems to think so.
Are they tax exempt?

Why do Blacks only have nightmares? One of them had a dream and look what happened to him.
Oh YAY! Another “Coffee Party”. It should be fun watching it fail as every effort of the left seems to do.
the liberal/progressive/democRAT party of fisting sycophants are getting all wee-weed up cuz they know that everyday more patriots are seeing what a bunch of psycho commie bastards they are !
Who in their right mind would dream of socialsim? These peeps really aren’t too bright, are they?
Turbo
Most of all, far-left wackos like Vannie here have no understanding, no concept of history. They are wedded only to their radical ideology. This makes them very dangerous.
I sense an implosion…….
Is the logo for this new party a hammer, sickle and red star?
This is disgusting. This radical bastard should be hung from a telephone pole. I am really tired of all this insurgency and lies perpetrated by idiots who hate white people.
America, and I mean mainstream Americans, of all ilks, we had better talk this up so the word spreads like wildfire … these idiots are looking to derail our train.
They are out to take America away from us and put us in slavery to a socialist, communist regime. They will lie and they will do everything in their power to confuse, deceive and cajole weak people into siding with them, either out of fear or greed, both of which are rampant in our weak, unspiritual and immoral society.
People are so selfish and brain dead they can’t see the big picture.
Tea Party lets crank it up and get this show on the road.
I tuned into a program that was about climate and the world. They then panned in and had Van Jones as a speaker.
Click!
Next Channel!
Invalid.
Turn off the channel, and there will be no traffic.
No traffic equals, lower ratings.
Your voice starts with the remote control.
Love the Red advert, “Van.”
Here’s some names you’ve no doubt thought of
Communist Party (you don’t even have to change parties)
New Communist Party
New Improved Communist Party
New Party (Zero joined this one in Chi)
Marxist Party
Democrat Party
Weather Underground (Bill Ayres’ approved)
They’re all bound to attract (the same) crowds.
Van better make sure there is plenty of free stuff to hand out to the participants or else this is D.O.A.
Larry7′s got it right.
Tea Party = back to strict Constitutionalism
Opposite of Tea Party = ????????
This is a no brainer. The complete opposite of the Tea Party = The Communist Party.
“Green Party”. “Van Jones”. “Moveon.org”.
All you need to know to figure out that it’s another propaganda machine created by the gargoyle George Soros.
And the part about “…lay down the truth….like Al Gore did about our climate…”
DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH!
Rebuild the dream? Hasn’t he been living the “dream” for 3 years now? What happened, VJ? Someone get tossed under the bus or something?
How ya gonna build a movement on a constituency with no backbone or morals? He is so clueless as to what real movement is, he looks in the toilet and says “hey, we gots us a movement goin’ here!”
Can’t make Santa real after you watch the parents put the gifts under the tree.
JooJooB:
You are right on.
Van Jones won’t get any publicity on Fox after June 30th – the last day of Beck’s show.
The Commies and Jew-haters in America are getting to the boiling point because the Tea Party hasn’t become violent like Obama and Jones and the rest of their libtard base had hoped.
WE MUST STAND STRONG PEOPLE AND STAND TOGETHER!
WE MUST LINK ARMS AND SEND A MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO WANT TO “CHANGE” US INTO SOMETHING WE AREN’T!
WE ARE PATRIOTIC AMERICANS AND WE KNOW WHAT THE AMERICA DREAM IS.
WHAT JONES IS PROPOSING IS THE “AMERICAN NIGHTMARE.”
DON’T DOUBT ME!
I thought the SEIU, ACORN, the NEA, AFL-CIO, Sierra Club, NOW, ACLU, etc. were the left’s “tea party.”
dustbin of history party
He’s a RACER!!!
whatever happened to the coffee party, or that no-labels movement from last year? lol
what pathetic losers.
A Communist Hootenanny, yippie!!!!!!!!!!!
Van Jones & his party of whatever brings me to a mental visual of monkeys sexually assaulting some sort of sports ball familiar to all in a confined area known for treating waste by products resulting in emanations of repulsively foul odors wafting from their own exit orifices upon one another as they execute their own winning strategy for said game that no one watches !!!!!!!!!
“Many have been wringing their hands, wondering why progressives seem so impotent in the face of the Tea Party. ”
Pretty simple- the Tea Party has rationality, common sense, and the Constitution on their side.
Progressives have giant papier mache puppets, inane chants, great tearing screeds devoid of reason but chock full o’ “feelings”, and pseudo intellectual cons like manbearpig and comrade van on their side.
Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and stay with the Tea Party on this one.
Progressive loons make up less than ten percent of our society, they’re farking nuts and freaks and if they want to organize at the level of the Tea Party they best head over to Eurabia where progressive loons are the norm. Frankly the loons are thicker than a hedge fence and twice as dense.
When’s that communist puke Soros going to lay down for his dirt nap? Hell, he’s old as dirt anyway. It would be good news to read that this guy suffered a stroke or something hidious… I despise that fucker!
@Joe:
Not until HIS boss comes by to collect on that “deal.”
American Dream Movement?
They might as well name it EPIC FAIL.
REBUILD THE DREAM = REMAKE THE SOVIET STYLE NIGHTMARE
This is what? The third or fourth “answer to the Tea Party” now? They really just don’t get it, do they?
FYI, there were about 5000 people watching the livestream.
Funny how it hasn’t occurred to the H8ers that the Tea Party was a reaction to MoveOn.org
