Tea, Coffee & Sympathy
It is difficult abandoning my feelings that ever since the President hit the campaign trail as Sen. Obama, it has been fraught with testosterone battles.
I posit the belief a great deal of racial prejudice is testosterone related and since it is “alleged” TeaBaggers are racist and do not like or want our Black President to succeed, I conclude it is but one more endless testosterone battle for the ear of the President. A racist has to let you know he does not like you and if possible, to your face. I am mindful of the infamous “cartoon” appearing in a New York newspaper of a policeman shooting a gorilla.
And now, as counter to TeaBaggers, we have the newly formed Coffee Party jumping up on stage, unfurling their banner singing the *“Anvil Chorus”.
(In the early twentieth century, the Anvil Chorus was commonly sung by the spectators or played by a band when a player, especially an opponent, committed an error, or to "rub it in" to the losing side.) As they say, “….the plot thickens!”
Drifting back to the primaries, it was hard thinking Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton were having a battle of the sexes Vs. a battle over testosterone, if you will. It was common knowledge there were some very, VERY mean things said about Sen. Clinton and her uh, sex life. They were ugly things and as we used to say back in the day, they were “U”-gly! They were so bad, we never even made those kinds of allegations about somebody’s Mama.
Oddly enough, I never thought there was a testosterone situation between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. I do not think Sen. McCain thinks that way. I just feel he is in a totally different weather zone and I was never able to completely figure it out nor was I able to feel a testosterone or truly racial situation between the two of them. I guess you may say I find it hard to consider Sen. McCain racist.
As always,
BB

My Qualms With The Coffee Party
by Rusty5329
Excerpt:
I am totally in agreement with them on this, so what are my qualms with the Coffee Party? It is indicative of what I have always liked least about the progressive movement: we are far too often responding, always reacting and never acting.
And
I have grown tired of responding. And while I cannot make claims that I will stop any time soon, I certainly will not be joining any Responders Anonymous. I will not join a group that would never exist were it not for the teabaggers. I will not dignify their nuttiness.

Coffee Party Movement now at 30,000+: Updated 3x
by Incognito1958
Excerpt:
In just a few weeks, the movement to counter the Tea Party Movement has grown from an idea of a few progressive friends sitting around talking to 28,000 members and chapters in major cities across the country.
And
The Coffee Party movement in less than a month has five times the supporters of Organizing for America--the relic of the Obama '08 campaign that Plouffe never got off the ground because he was writing/promoting his book.
