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.

Looks like he’s pulling an F in all subjects and overall GPA.
The worst “representative” next to true teabagger Barney Frank
Id rather be a teabagger, than a communist, marxist pig.
I was going to say that I’d rather be called a teabagger than a socialist, but I like your comment better.
and she is a POS so that makes us even I guess.
Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) used the term “teabaggers” on the floor of Congress on March 20—that’s worse than using it on a trashy entertainment program on TV.

“I think Coffee ENEMAniacs is more apt.”
With friends like them, who needs enemas?
Maxine Waters who stood on the Floor of the House and said "I being of sound mind"...back during the Clinton Impeachment....
She is the poster-child of the Black Experience in Congress, and the BEST that her District has to offer?
Rep. Muddy Waters is so stupid that it is remarkable that she can figure out how to put in and take out her false teeth.
Well that made me feel a little better
D-Baggers
Calling her a “nigger” = offensive and I’ll get in trouble.
Her calling me a “teabagger” = funny joke that should be repeated.
I guess some animals really are more equal than others. :(:(:(
Waters is a racist slut.
Why is the calling of another a derisive term, "Teabagger" - which references people who orally suck a males scrotum not considered 'hate speech'? This is essentially, among normal people, a term which would considered extremely insulting and derisive. It looks like charges need to be filed and prosecutions take place.
