Confirmation About Fake Coffee Party Account

I wrote earlier about an obviously fake St. Louis Coffee Party Twitter account set up apparently to smear me and the coffee party. The person running the account doesn't seem to be very bright, since even after being busted he continues to try to fool people. Anyway, I confirmed with the real St. Louis Coffee Party today that the account is indeed a fake:

These are not the only Twitter shenanigans going on either. Someone set up a @fakejakewagman account and the only two people it is following are myself and Tony Wyche. I don't know anything about it and I DM'd Tony Wyche about it and he didn't know anything about it either. However, since we're the only two people being followed, it makes us look like we had something to do with it. I can't see any of the @fakejakewagman tweets since the account is locked, so I really have no sense of what the motivation is for it. That account, though, is at least a parody with the word "fake" in its title: the account pretending to be the Coffee Party appears to be a clear violation of Twitter rules, and possibly the law.

Coffee Party Kicks Off in St. Louis

The St. Louis Chapter of the National Coffee Party movement had its first meeting last night:


This coverage must be exactly what coffee party organizers hoped for. The Coffee Party organizer explained that they were all about having constructive dialogue and willing to discuss issues with the other side, and then Tea Party leader Jim Hoft (Gateway Pundit) reinforces the contrast by immediately going on the attack against the Coffee Party. Thanks for reinforcing the talking points Jim!
