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 know anyone who regrets the “teabagger” moniker.

It is a homosexual slight, if you don't mind it, that is your right.

If however; we applied it to a gay pride march, there would be hell to pay.

Call it what it is a tea party, anew so far calm revolution.

Just like that chick in the miniskirt was just *asking* to be raped!

Well, let’s face it, it’s much more likely that those on the left know much more about “teabagging” than conservatives do, and probably have a lot more experience with it.

The Tribune’s Communist sympathizer moniker is called for and they are an arm of the DNC.

People feel free to talk like this because no one punches them in the face.

They’re the masters of psychological projection and that term was, naturally, the first thing that popped into their perverted, evil minds.

Here’s the best part about the leftists - their bald-faced hypocrisy!

They seek to normalize all things homosexual, but they are they willingly use “teabagging” as a pejorative. They also LOVE to vilify any Republican who gets caught in a homosexual act (see Craig, Foley, et al). They very quickly use the fact that the Republican showed homosexual tendencies as a slight.

If only these guys owned mirrors!

And Fisters like Obama and all the Rats..they are the ones who know the meaning of these things. Most of us never heard the expressions before these Rats used their inside language.
