A Left Wing Tea Party?

Didn't CNN and the New York Times try this already? Oh well, I think it's a great idea. Pulling the Democrats further left is just what we need to bury those pests forever in the trash heap of history where they belong.

“We think we can do what the tea party did,” [Disgraced former Obama Green Jobs Czar Van] Jones said in an interview with The Fix. “They stepped forward under a common banner, and everybody took them seriously. Polls suggest there are more people out there who have a different view of the economy, but who have not stepped forward yet under a common banner.”

Jones is a former Obama environmental adviser who resigned from the White House in 2009 amid controversy over his past activism. But he’s lauded in liberal circles for his charisma and organizing abilities.

“There's a lot of organizational muscle behind the initiative, and Van is one of the most inspiring figures in the progressive movement, so I'm looking forward to these efforts, and they certainly come at a time when Republican overreach has primed progressives to take action” said Markos Moulitas, the founder of the liberal blog network Daily Kos.

Jones’ “Dream” movement will launch Thursday night with a rally in New York City. The Roots are performing; MoveOn.org, a well known liberal advocacy group, is co-sponsoring the gathering.

It's hard to believe that this will go any farther than it did with the Coffee Party. They certainly couldn't get any more help from the mainstream news media than the Coffee Party did.
