Round up: Coffee Party Is Talking Heatedly On Need For Civility??

Shorter Palm Beach Post - these people seem confused. heh!

WEST PALM BEACH — Venting about the conservative tea party movement and talking — at times heatedly — about the need for civility in public discourse marked the debut meeting of a local "coffee party" group today.

About 40 people showed up for the meeting at a Panera Bread restaurant, where organizer George Papison had booked a small room in expectation of a dozen or fewer.

Clarence Thomas' wife starts a Tea Party?? How cool is that? I can hear the Leftist heads exploding, now.

As Virginia Thomas tells it in her soft-spoken, Midwestern cadence, the story of her involvement in the "tea party" movement is the tale of an average citizen in action.

"I am an ordinary citizen from Omaha, Neb., who just may have the chance to preserve liberty along with you and other people like you," she said at a recent panel discussion with tea party leaders in Washington. Thomas went on to count herself among those energized into action by President Obama's "hard-left agenda."

Meanwhile, Michael Barone weighs in via Glenn:

The numbers tell you something. Something that the CNN producers might want to take note of.

Jim Hoft, Dean Esmay The Lonely Conservative and others weigh in here.

Please don't forget to weigh in in Washington, DC on Tuesday if you can make it there.

I've been writing about the Civility NOW! movement for a while.

Coffee is preferable to tea.

Yea, the coffee party folks talk about the need for civility in political discourse, but these are the same folks who call conservatives racists and Nazis at the drop of a hat if they dare disagree with anything their lord messiah Obama does. CNN and the NYT paints a glowing warm fuzzy portrait of these folks and label them grass-roots, at the same time failing to mention that the guy who started it is a Dem political strategist and the person who founded the netroots.
