Rep. Maxine Waters Calls Protesters 'Teabaggers' California congresswoman claims their side overcame tea party movement efforts to derail health care reform legislation.

Is it too much to ask for a member of Congress to show a little grace after a major legislative victory and not resort back to the lowest common denominator?
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who in 2008 made her own socialist Freudian slip, couldnt handle that. In an appearance on HLNs March 22 The Joy Behar Show, Waters expressed her jubilation over the House of Representative vote on health care reform on March 21.
I was very pleased. It was truly a historic moment and I almost couldn`t believe it was happening, Waters said. It was surreal that all of a sudden it all came together after a year of debate and many times thinking it would never happen.
And all this happened despite the best efforts of the tea party efforts to convince members of Congress there would be repercussions for voting on a bill that public opinion wasnt in line with, or as Waters referred to them as the teabaggers.
Thinking that the teabaggers out there had influenced a lot of people and had caused them to be on the no side, and when it finally happened, I thought, my God, this certainly is historic, Waters said. This is a moment in history that will be remembered for a long time.
The teabagger euphemism was made famous by MSNBC at the height of tea party rallies. Urbandictionary.com, cited multiple times by one of those MSNBC guests, describes it as when a man places his testicles onto someones face, or into their mouth.
Waters comment also comes on the heels of media complaints about the tea party protests and claims offensive things were said by protesters.
She has got to be one of the dumbest people in the universe.
racist maxine...they cant find someone younger brighter and more pro american to run against her?
She truly represents her constituents—all idiots!
Her constituents have to be even more stupid than she is. Which is why they need all the govt help they can get.
She got that part right.
Maxine is a double-bagger.
It’s a damned shame when someone is cursed with both blinding stupidity and terminal fugly.
Sorry you lost the lottery, Maxine.
Easy. She's a mirror of her district.
This coming from an old bag.
Since most of those that vote for her are perpetually on welfare and crack, this comes as no surprise.
Maxine Waters IS the lowest common denominator. But, she's representative of her district, I'll grant that... and they richly deserve her.
She is just fit to be tied because her party was teabagged by Obummer while the tea partiers cheer their demise. They always like to blame their consequences on someone else.
It’s OK to call us Tea Partiers the obscene gay sex term “tea baggers” but heaven forbid the n-word is used.
Racism, pure and simple. It's OK to be a racist, as long as you're not Caucasian. The reality is that we really are all the same, and envy and hatred have no ethnic or racial boundaries.
I’d rather be a teabagger, than a communist, marxist pig.
Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee are some of the biggest racists besides Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
We demand an apology from the DNC
