The Next Failed Attempt to Counter the Tea Party

Many have tried and many have fallen, but where there's a lefty cause there's a communist willing to try and lead it (from Daily Caller):

Another day, another failed attempt to counter the Tea Party -- The Coffee Party. The Other 95 Percent. One Nation. US Uncut. F*** Tea. The list of pathetic, astroturfed attempts to show those teabaggers how to start an awesome political movement goes on and on. Now there's a new one: The American Dream Movement. It's the usual stuff: tax the rich, raise taxes on the wealthy, take more money from those who are more successful, etc. And you'll never guess who's in charge of it: Van Jones! Hello? Hey, come back! Jones kicked things off with a live two-hour speech that was livestreamed on their website, which was probably enough to kill the whole thing right there. Brandon Stewart at the Foundry has the lowlights: "In one particularly shocking part of his speech, Jones seemed to compare conservatives to terrorists, saying, 'Paul Ryan’s budget would knock out more critical American infrastructure than our sworn enemies ever dreamed of knocking out.' This is specially dangerous territory for one such as Jones, who has found himself in trouble before for signing a petition suggesting that America was at fault on 9/11 or complicit in al-Qaeda's attacks on our nation—the so-called truther movement... Perhaps the major conceit in Jones’s address was the notion that the economy is a zero-sum game where the success of one person hinders your ability to succeed. If you're not doing well, it’s because someone else is getting ahead at your expense. 'We’re not broke,' Jones said early on in his presentation, 'We’ve been robbed.'" From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. What's more American than that? 

I give it six months.
