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

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.

I don’t regret a damn thing. This 20-something will gladly join any future tea party protests proudly, sign in hand. I say keep the insults coming, it shows exactly how effective these protests actually are.

It sounds like he is an expert on “asking for it”.

Amazing disconnect from reality! Let’s make fun of the very people whose votes we need to stay in power. You’re stupid and unsophisticated, ill-informed and dangerous too. Vote for us. If we can’t defeat these guys in 2010, it will be our own fault.

This is classic projection. Most of those on the left are probably very familiar with “teabagging”.

In his dreams we regret it!

I don’t really give a rat’s *ss what he or anyone else calls me. It just shows that he has about as much credibility as the other lunatics who call themselves journalists!

I doubt the jerk even knows what a teabagger is supposed to mean. Maybe he should ask Maddow, Olbermann and Matthews to explain it to him.

Any bets on how many bags have rested on Clarence's chin?

Probably runs a close second to Barney "EAT THE" Frank

Aw tell it like it is. Don’t sugarcoat it. LOL

At some point the MSM is going to get their just rewards. And they’re gonna dig themselves out and say, “What was that all about?”
