The Java Jive

Is the Coffee Party a legitimate liberal grassroots movement, or another example of astroturfing? Bob Owens and William Jacobson look into the pot and see grounds for believing the latter.

Since media-types have seen fit to refer to tea-party people as “tea-baggers” ( a sexually suggestive term), I see no reason why we should not coin our own disparaging description of the folks in the Coffee Party. How about “kopi-luwackies”?
Kopi Luwak the most expensive coffee in the world does exist, and those who drink the expensive coffee insist that it is made from coffee beans eaten, partly digested and then excreted by the Common palm civet, a weasel-like animal.
Perfect. Liberal activists are typically weasels, and they’ll swallow anything as long as the price-tag is big enough.

I realize that "kopi-luwackies" is rather too many syllables, and not particularly melodious; on the other hand, it's less vulgar than "civet turds". I invite readers to submit their own appropriately scornful epithets.

I wonder if I was the first suggester of the Kopi Luwak meme.

I had not seen it mentioned when I mentioned it several days ago.

I'm pretty sure "kopi" is pidgin for "coffee", does anybody know what "luwak" means?

Well, duh!

Paradoxurus hermaphroditus == Luwak.

Interesting name in connection with the leftist parasites (redundant, I know_.

Actually that's a perfect description: they expect us to consume their shit.

And pay a lot for the privilege.

Coffee Commies.

That's the best I could do, but you know, these days just plain "Democrat" has a pretty nasty ring all by itself.

RebeccaH, Coffee Commies is good. You're right that plain old "Democrat" is nasty all by itself. I take pleasure in correcting those who attempt to use "Democratic" for the Party affiliation. It's funny how a little history lesson takes a bit of the shine off their arrogance.
