Tea Partiers take San Francisco
SFGate: City Brights ^ | 4/16/10 | Harmon Leon

San Francisco you let me down.

Yesterday was the big, fancy National Tea Party Day. As part of their protest against Obama, health care reform, tax day, and the onslaught of socialism that's virtually pissing in the face of the ghost of Ronald Reagan, the Tea Party Patriots took to Union Square to voice their displeasure of all things unpatriotic.

That's right, the Tea Baggers were on our turf, telling the people of San Francisco (or "San Fransicko" as they referred to it) how we're the symbol of everything wrong in this country.

The protest looked not unlike an American flag that threw up all over Union Square and showered red, white, and blue all over a bunch of old people. The festivities had all the elements we've grown to love about Tea Baggers: accusations that Obama is a racist dictator, misspelled signs, speakers from Russia making astute comparisons to their homeland, quotes from General Patton, and shouts of U.S.A!

I don’t think he did. The author changed it later. If you go to the article and read the comments, they reference the original “Tea Baggers” title.

Someone at the Chron or perhaps the author has changed the title. However, “tea bagger” is still used in the article.

I’ll bet that virtually no one in the Tea Party movment even knows what the term “teabagging” means. They’re not the kind of people who keep up on such things.

I’ve heard supporters use it in ignorance. Drives me nuts. “The teabaggers are in town! We ought to go join them!”
