Conservative Blogger Schools Media for Calling Anti-ObamaCare Protesters "Teabaggers" - Video

Here is video of a conservative taking a mainstream media member to task at a press conference in St. Louis yesterday that included Pfizer officials because anti-ObamaCare protesters were referred to by the sexually explicit term "teabaggers." Democrats have been saying that over the past week as a slur against those opposing ObamaCare, but here a member of the media feels perfectly comfortable referring to protesters in that way. Conservative blogger "Sharp Elbows" was there and is the one who took them to task:

Then It Was Question Time. The First Question Went To A Reporter Who Asked If This Presser Was Timed To Coincide With "The TeaBaggers" Events This Weekend.
That Pissed Me Off So I Kinda Chastised Him In Front Of The Whole Room LOL! So Then It Was My Turn. Everyone On This Panel Was Gung Ho For ObamaCare. So I Asked The Rep. From Pfizer About The Recently Reported Deal Between Big Pharma And The Administration. My Cover Was Blown at This Point And They Did Not Allow Me A Second Question. . . .
Great job by Sharp Elbows!

The eunuchs in Obama’s state run media are a bunch of homophobes.

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic!! We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!”

“sexually explicit term “teabaggers.”

Tea Parties is an historical reference. Teabagging is what these people know.
