Secretary Of Labor Calls Out 'Teabaggers'

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis embraced the derogatory term used to describe members of the tea party in an appearance at the Florida Democratic Convention over the weekend.

"I'll be darned if I'm going to set that aside now because a few tea baggers want to somehow muzzle my voice," she said, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. "We don't have to sit back and allow a minority in the Congress, known as the tea party, to dominate the discussion in our households."

This story is just getting picked up in the national press, so expect to hear more about it in the coming days — perhaps even a call for an official repudiation from the White House.

Are you kidding me? The liberal media introduced this term into the public lexicon, they are not going to report on this at all.

Is Sammy Sayyad just a cover story? Sounds like a Muzzie name?

She probably fantasizes about Obama slapping his tiny sack on her face.

I use the same stringent standards of evidence as Hildi before I engage in character assassination.

LOL Hilda and Sammy were one of the multitude of Obama appointees who had “tax issues” - the kind that only seem to matter for Republicans.

Don’t sell the lady short. As I understand the descriptions of “Tea Bagger”, the act, she is perfectly qualified to be a participate as a Tea Bagger for Obama, Clinton (the rapist that is), Holder, Barney Frank ....

Liberals are masters of Projection.

Look at the parasites at any "occupy" gathering and ask yourself, are these people more or less likely to engage in 'teabagging' activities versus Tea Party members?

She looks like a pig, (no offense to pigs) so it would seem natural for the term to slip out of that ugly pie hole.
