Annabel Park: 'Thousands' Turned Out for March 13th 'Coffee Parties'

From Annabel Park's interview at 538:

Do you think Washington Democrats are taking you seriously?

I think last Saturday was a turning point because we had over 350 parties across the country with thousands attending. There were events in nearly every state including Wasilla, Alaska. These are real people and our movement is real. They also need to know that we are not getting to just talk. We are going to fight for representation.

Right.

I followed the "coffee parties" over the weekend, and at most we saw maybe 40 people turn out for any individual event.

Check the rest of the interview. As we've seen so many times, grassroots protests is only legit if you're a leftist.

Midnight Blue has some great screencaps and commentary on the "upstart" coffee partiers. See, "This is War – Coffee vs. Tea."

I guess all that talk of "civility" didn't work out so great.

Also, at CFP, "LATE FLASH: Coffee Party Debut Sad to the Last Drip."

But hey, not giving up is Chicago Now, "Coffee Party off to a Slow Start Maybe Another Approach Needed." Plus, late to the action is AOL News, "Liberals Hope to Stimulate Obama With Coffee Party."
