Royd 0 #1 February 9, 2010 It seems that the party of the KKK, segregation and racial discrimination, has found a new, acceptable "N" word. It seems to,readily, roll off the tongue, of every MSM and left wing tv personality, out there. It also gets thrown around, with aplomb, in the left wing blogosphere. The word is spoken with venom and vitriol, and is meant to do the same harm, as the word,of old. It rolls off the tongue, and hangs in the air, like the scent of some baby, being hauled through a crowded mall, to get its diaper changed. Ironically, it has four of the same letters, in consecutive order. You guessed it. The word is"Teabagger". Let us take note, how easily, those, who use the word, picked it up. After,only, a few days of the word being thrown around, obviously, by someone who had experience in such things, anyone, with a computer, could find out the meaning. Yet, they all picked it up and ran with it, like a schoolyard bully. Stay classy, leftwing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From FOX News: "TeaParty.com has a headline, 'Teabag the fools in DC on Tax Day.' They want you ... to take a tea bag, put it an envelope, and mail it to the White House." And it's clearly a term they have adopted for themselves. (See below.) I'm happy to call people whatever they want to be called. If it offends you, best get them to stop describing themselves that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to liken it with another word, seems to me that 'Liberal' used as a pejorative by the Right is a good comparison. Likening it to 'Nigger' is absurd. (And 'Teabagger' doesn't start with an N...)Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We joke about the opposition and if one is taking that seriously they should probably find another playground.

Probably true! >The original post is about supposedly our information sources exhibiting > a severe slant and getting a wink and a nod and not being held > accountable to their mission of providing undoctored information. "Being held accountable?" All the major media outlets - FOX, CNN, MSNBC, you name it - are held 100% accountable by the viewers. If no one watches them, they fail. That's not happening - so apparently we're in support of what they do. Which, of course, has nothing to do with providing accurate information. If you want accurate information, watch CSPAN.

LongWayToFall 0 #24 February 11, 2010 Man I love the words tea bagging. So what is the deal here? I think the tea party guys being called tea baggers is EPIC!!! Common, it isn't teabaggees, it is tea baggers. You are the one putting your balls in someone else's mouth, not the other way around. So excellent!!
