Lib Reporter Says Protesters Were Asking For It When the Media Labeled Them “Teabaggers” Monday, December 28, 2009

Jim Hoft

The corruption of the state-run media continues… Liberal Chicago Tribune reporter Clarence Page says old ladies carrying protest signs are “asking for it” when they are called “teabaggers“:

NewsBusters reported:

The bitterness toward the tea party movement continues to go on and on.

Case in point – Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page, who on the Dec. 27 broadcast of “The McLaughlin Group,” deemed it “The Most Defining Political Moment” of 2009, but refused to call it the “tea party.” Instead, he granted the movement the preferred name by the left-leaning cable network MSNBC, the “teabaggers” and somehow devised the notion that the movement “asked for” the derogatory name.

“The backlash movement known as the ‘teabaggers,’ who kind of asked for that name and now they regret it,” Page said.

And that’s why we call the media “propagandists”. :)

What exactly is the insult? I thought the left was perfectly happy with all things homo. So how could describing the conservative movement be derogatory? Another case of cognitive dissonance from the left. They chuckle, we’ll vote.

Media name calling of private citizens is justified?

They're all a bunch of teabaggers. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Another case of cognitive dissonance from the left

Asking for it? Even young children have more maturity than this. These liberals have no redeeming qualities of any kind.

Absolutely. First Amendment. And I am just as justified in calling Clarence Page a [comments redacted to preserve Magslinger’s posting privileges.]

The way the state run media has handled the Teabag movement is probably responsible for half its growth! Every time they say something derogatory it inflames people and they take notice, thats OK, they will be eating Astroturf by years end!

So the original American revolutionaries deserved to have been called sodomites?

I guess I don’t call him reporter any more. He seems to be asking me to call him mother fu##er instead. What a contemptible bastard to take that attitude.

It is funny, that the perverts came up with a name that essentially meant nothing to the average tea-partier...

All of the perverts got the joke right away, and still think they are enormously funny whereas I think most of us don’t really care what they think. They’ve already been exposed as perverts. Marxists, the ones who can string two thoughts together, and perverts.

You don’t take people like that seriously. You pray for their souls and kick their asses.

Turn it around and make the lib media sorry they ever labeled us as such. Proudly call ourselves Teabaggers as in, "I'm a Teabagger and proud of it!" Don't forget to capitalize Teabagger.

Remember the Revolution? Oh, of course not. Most of you young'uns weren't around then! Well, the British called us Yankee Doodle Dandies, and it was meant to be a derision. We adopted the name and wore it proudly then, too.

So let's adopt the media's meant-to-be-derogatory name and turn it into something good, and maybe rub it in the faces of the leftist media!
