...also known as the reaction to the Tea Party:

The Coffee Party has been referred to by some in the media as "more academic and centrist than some of its members had hoped for but nevertheless, it is a timely and welcome development of a more intellectual form of political activism";[21] "a latte-sipping, liberal reaction to the populist conservative Tea Party movement";[22] "left-leaning";[23] a group that "welcomes everyone and embraces diversity -- ethnic, geographical and even political diversity";[24] and "a liberal-esque and pro-Obama answer to the conservative tea party movement" with meetings that are "visibly more diverse than the average tea party gathering."[25]
Coffee Party spokesman Camron Moore, Republican, said the movement is neither liberal nor conservative, and even Tea Partiers are welcomed to crash their party.[26] The Coffee Party addresses the issue directly, stating "Coffee Party USA is not liberal, centrist, progressive, or conservative. [It] is best described as a grassroots movement calling on all Americans to become active citizens. Members and leaders nationwide have diverse orientations, diverse affiliations, and diverse political experience. No single person's previous participation or expression reflects the entirety of the organization."[27]

with the whisperings to the pendulum swinging back fast and hard, what does TFP think of the leftish reaction to the Tea Party? will it just end up being two splinter grassroots communities arguing until the end of time? will they actually bring out a coffee Sarah Palin? what will the reaction to all of this be? are these people trying to build old-school hellenistic amphitheaters to debate in a open forum?

sound to me like a blatant attempt to balance/quite the tea party

It's almost funny

I think the Mulled wine party might get more enthusiastic and merry followers.
