Barack Hussein Obama II, used a crude gay-baiting sexual slur to denigrate Tea Party patriots in a talk with House Democrats yesterday on Capitol Hill, reported the New York Times:
According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”
The word 'teabag' is used to describe a sexual practice popular in the homosexual community. Earlier this year as the anti-big government protest movement exploded across the country, liberals in the media first started calling conservative and libertarian protesters organizing under the Tea Party banner, "teabaggers," in a juvenile effort to gay-bait the protesters. Democrats, including now the president of the United States, have also used the slur.
The gay-baiting slur was used with gusto on MSNBC in April by anchors David Shuster and rachel Maddow. Newsbusters quoted Shuster:
For most Americans, Wednesday, April 15th will be Tax Day. But in our fourth story tonight: It's going to be teabagging day for the right-wing and they're going nuts for it. Thousands of them whipped out the festivities early this past weekend, and while the parties are officially toothless, the teabaggers are full-throated about their goals.
"They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending - spending they did not oppose when they were under presidents Bush and Reagan. They oppose Mr. Obama's tax rates - which will be lower for most of them -- and they oppose the tax increases Mr. Obama is imposing on the rich, whose taxes will skyrocket to a rate about 10 percent less than it was under Reagan. That's teabagging in a nut shell."
Newsbusters also reported the term was used 51 times in one segment on the Rachel Maddow show.
CNN's Anderson Cooper piled on the same week with his own gay-baiting 'teabagging' slurs.
Hat tip Kathyrn Jean Lopez at NRO.
Totally unbelievable! Wow! Thanks.
You don’t just blurt out “WRONG!” to somebody and tell them to stop deluding themselves just because you have a different take.
If you can’t find a better way to express yourself, you need to stop posting. We’re supposedly on the same team, you know.
YOU throw insults and stupid insulting pictures at ME and tell me to find a better way to express MYSELF?!
Mods, is there a killfile capability on FR? This person can’t handle honest *impersonal* criticism without name calling and continued argumentativeness. I’ve made my point. They choose to be childish and keep on. < shrugs >
I’ve got two 15 month old twins with more maturity to deal with here than this foolishness.
Sorry, bustinchops, mixed you up with zipper.
Sorry if you were offended by my clarifying your incorrect statement about HolyO ‘unwittingly’ using the ‘teabagger’ phrase—nothing personal against you yourself.
Yet not a single crtate of tea has landed in a body of water during these protests. Just a bunch of people waving their little teabags around.
Yeah, they really need to follow it up with “not that there’s anything wrong with that” or resign their positions for PC violations.
That should be the response to any of them who use the term. Something like "How Dare You use an Immature, Gay-bashing term to describe political protestors. You sir, owe an apology to all gays."
I couldn’t get through to the page you linked, or the link on that page.
So what does it mean, already?
Its time to FLOOD the WHITE HOUSE with TEABAGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They worked last night, I checked them. Try a browser other than Internet Exploder, if you have one.
bump
They came to power over Congress in 2006 by outing to homosexuals in the GOP and salivating over the details (falsely claiming that one of the men had molested boys).
And the term “chickhawk” is ALSO a homosexual term. It is a man that cruises young boys. They used it to slur those who supported the war.
There are a number of homosexuals in the media. It’s their game to wink and nod and smear.
At least I’m not a cr**py President, Mr President!!!
Are you calling me a DU plant? (again?)
It appears you are the elitist, mine is only a defense from unwarranted unsolicited assault.
Have you no real defense of your actions besides rhetoric?
You know, the first time I saw Obama speak, back in 2004, my deadly gadar meter pegged instantly. Betcha Zippo’s an old pro at snacking on cylindrical, blunt, flesh-covered objects like a whale vacuuming-up krill.
...in a thread entitled, “Obama Uses Crude Gay-Baiting Sexual Slur to Attack Tea Party Protesters”
Wow. but I'm sure you meant the ironic nature of that response to be sarcastic? /sarc
Wikipedia describes it quite well.
And people doubt God's disdain for the and ultimate destruction of the abominable sodomite communities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities? How can we think for a second that the father of the sodomite community, baraq O bamah (the devil incarnate) would let pass the opportunity to associate good decent people with the sick and twisted, disease ridden, child molesting filth in the homosexual community?
He stole the White House, he's destroying our country and we're stuck with him.
We've slipped into Wonderland folks.
