They called themselves Teabaggers. It rolls of the tongue (no pun intended) better than Tea Partiers (and they aren't really partying, anyway), Tea Party People, Tea-pers, Tea Activists. Sure as heck aren't going to call them Tea Patriots, because the opposition strongly disagrees with the contention that they are patriots and the rest of us are not.

Rick Santorum keeps his last name, despite the alternate meaning of it. And don't look now, but the initials for Tea Party can be used to mean toilet paper. Oh, the indignity!

Funny, I don't hear Republicans boo-hooing whenever some wag comes up with alternate meanings for GOP, like "Grumpy Old Perverts". Teabaggers are so sensitive!

Of course, he is also the first one ever to tell me that REPUBLICANS use "lib...urrr...al" as a derogatory term.

And I gotta ask, you are giving up your Social Security and Medicare when you come of age, right?
Nobody wants to give up Social Security or Medicare! Who would take care of Mom and Dad then?

Just watch the smirks and smiles as liberal commentators use the term to describe a political movement.

Even this Forum puts up with this term for now as acceptable. No asterisks on the above term. Come on liberals lets hear your rationalizations for the term in question. Get ready for the hate because here it comes.

Even our wonderful President likes to use the term describing the oral fondling of male genitalia. Thanks for the change Mr President. I guess if the Pres can use the term its not hate speech yet.

I guess its sticks and stones for the Teabaggers but libelous slander for the "you decide"

You Teabaggers are looking at this all wrong.

Check it out -

The Teabaggers are the dippers. So your opponents are the receivers - the Teabaggees

So which would you rather be - the Teabagger or the Teabaggee?

You want to see zombies? Go take a look at some of Obama's Presidential race speeches where the attendents are staring off into space chanting "Yes We Can" over and over and over again. It is frightening to watch all of those brainwashed zombies just fall in line and start goose stepping.
