Coffee Party: re racism at Tea Party rallies

We did something unusual for a Coffee Party event. With two distinguished guests — Linda Killian, senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center, columnist for Politico and US World & News Report and the author of The Freshmen: What Happened To The Republican Revolution? and Darrell West, the vice president and director of Governance Studies at the Brookings Institute — we decided to do a panel discussion, moderated by Annabel Park, and then open it up to questions and comments. The result was a really productive town hall style discussion.
Busboys was nice enough to provide, not only free coffee, but free tea for participants! There were about 70 people here (we are writing from location before dashing off to Frederick, MD for a 4 PM film festival screening).
C-SPAN, CNN, Fox News, and Voice of America were all there, so look for the news reports. The panel discussion that opened the meeting is available at C-SPAN’s website:

We apologize for the racial slurs that appear from time to time on this page. We don’t always catch them. When we do they are reported to YouTube, and, if there are threats of violence, they are reported to the proper authorities. In both cases we have to leave them up for a short time. Our apologies.

Then why are most of the Tea Party members are out of work and receiving government help.

I’m not sure the worst Tea Party rhetoric is truly racist, or if it’s just trying to create theater and attract attention, as Park says.
If Hillary Clinton had won the election in 2008, the Tea Party would be using language and symbols offensive to women. If Mitt Romney had won, they’d be saying offensive things about Mormonism.
The Tea Party’s loudest individuals don’t know how to be articulate or offer anything constructive. They just want to be heard.
Sell out boot …
Sell out boot licking coffee party bums. You’re the types that would turn in your neighbor for speaking against “The Party” like in the ex-soviet union. Rot in losers.
The Coffee Party …
The Coffee Party looks like more spineless Liberals to me. Everytime some one gives you a chance to stand for something the coffee party just says :no , no let’s all sit down and talk . Why don’t you guy stand strongly for something or go back to singing kumbaya. The Tea Party is evil, why cant you admmit that ? This wishy washy attitude is not going no where.
MORE COFFEE CRAP.

I am an independent voter and so are most of our family and friends. I agree with local69able that the coffee party USA are wimps. Join the Coffee and Cream Party on Facebook for some strong and bold brewing, no sugar added response to whiney losers like the tea baggers. America runs on coffee, We good to the last drop, We are heavenly, the best part of waking up out of the Coffee Party USA stupor. Coffee can sober up a falling down drunk. And remember most people tend to drink tea when their sick
