The poofters in the media got outed this time. They did the same thing when they slurred conservatives who supported the war in Iraq as “chickenhawks” (a term for grown men who molest boys).

If Fox News is the arm of the GOP then the rest of the media (print and broadcast) are the what comes out of the donkey’s behind.

Like the rest of the fisters olbermann, maddow (same person I think), matthews, cooper et al, this guy uses this term as a form of projection as it is one of their practices.

The DNC and media colluded on a witchhunt of Mark Foley and the GOP. They proclaimed that the "GOP knew" and "did nothing" while the MSM and DNC knew far more, earlier, and deliberately chose to sit on the details to use as an October Surprise (the subsequent congressional investigation uncovered this fact).

Additionally the media put forth that Mark Foley was a child molestor ("and, pssst, a 'fa**ot'") even though he did not have sexual relations with the minors he contacted. Was it ugly behavior? Yes. But the Democrats chose to honor a homosexual who HAD sex with his aides 30 years prior (I think he died around the time of the election) and who refused to step down (while such relations were illegal regardless of age of partner).

The media was happy to run the leaked Foley messages but is holding tight lipped on Climategate. Why is that?

It’s a mistake to expect class or dignity from anyone on the left.

Somehow they have changed course and no longer believe dissent is patriotic.

Hurling vulgar insults in the name of Obamao is all they know.

“Tea-bagger”? Was bedeutet das?

If it identifies the people who want to take their country back, well, then we wear the label with a glowing pride. Whatever it may mean to those who place the label on us, the term is much like “Yankee”, a name bestowed upon the original American patriots by their English oppressors.

And from that, we got “Yankee Doodle Dandy”. An appellation that still feeds the American populist spirit.

Before the Tea Party Movement, tea-bagging denoted the activity of lowering one’s testicles into another’s mouth.

Sorry to be graphic, but that’s what Anderson Cooper knows (oh-so-well) and why he can’t stop talking about it.

Clarence Paige is in a locked embrace with his Chicago partner in crime, our dear leader, Hussein.

To whom do the teabags hanging from Clarence’s chin belong?

Neither do I but I don’t take offense. Homosexual sympathizers seem to take perfectly ordinary terms and turn them into perverted slang, teabag related matters is one, as well as the very word “gay” which used to have a wonderful meaning. Whenever someone refers to another as gay, I inadvertently refer to that person as “homosexual” which is correct and to the point. If the truth is so offensive, why be insulted? Or do they prefer lies? I think so.

They can paint all they want but the term “teabagger” has now come to mean conservative.

I was a bit surprised to see the term used on air and even more surprised to see it repeated on air by so many of the MSM with such hilarity. At best it is mildly amusing but not a great joke unless you have the mindset of the Junior High crowd.

I am quite happy that they used it and continue to use it as a perjorative as it typifies them as being incapable of operating in a civil society due to their lack of emotional development. Other incidents abound to support this conclusion: witness Baracks giving the camouflaged bird to Hillary and most recently to a mayor who supported Hillary. How very 7th grade. Or eigth grade if you're mentally deficient.

Which is why we in the Red Zone think of the elites and the MSM as snot-eating morons, not to be taken seriously, but laughed at as we might laugh at the attempts of a JH student to get attention.

So...I don't mind if they call us teabaggers. It is a result of their problems (see above), not ours.

“It’s a mistake to expect class or dignity from anyone on the left.”

It is far past time for decent people to wake up and realize that when dealing with scumbags, civility is nothing but a self-imposed handicap. (dsc, Circa 1998)

I’m going to continue to act as though I don’t know THAT particular bit of trivia.

I don’t know what the derogatory term “Yankee” meant in the 18th century, but I’m one of those too.

If someone thinks my tagline is an intimate invitation, I’m still quite capable of dotting (I)s and crossing (T)s.

"Teabagger" did not change its definition just because conservatives started having tea parties. It still means what it used to mean, and it is still a disgusting insult when applied to conservative tea partiers.

Hey Sync.

Simple solution; the 10 people who are still buying the Trib can stop now.
