Are you really that ignorant of the issue that you asked that silly question? So anytime someone is called a derogatory name and gets offended offended it means they are insecure. pfffft

If a black man calls himself the n word do YOU use it on all black people? case dismissed

I gotta tell ya. As quibbling goes, that's right up there with "It all depends on what your definition of 'is' is."

Come on liberals lets hear your rationalizations for the term in question. Get ready for the hate because here it comes.
No rationalization needed, just facts. You seem to have overlooked a few in your rush to excoriate those of us who use the term as coined by the Teabaggers themselves.

This may help explain the origins of the current usage of the word.

It doesn't surprise me those on here who find nothing wrong with using the term.

But, I'll bet some are the same that flying the Confederate flag should not be displayed because it is "insensitive."

It reeks of hypocrisy

I didn't even know what it means and I am sure most tea partiers didn't know until someone told them. Why would most people even know that term if it is supposedly a term used by homosexuals? Most people are not homosexuals.

You're missing the point. Nobody is saying it is inherently wrong or used it in a derogatory way. They simply used the term to describe their little group. Fox news has also done the same thing. Quit trying to assume the victim role here, nobody cares.

I'll include unemployment.
Unemployment, nope never have
SS, probably BUT I wont live long enough to get my money back. SS isnt a make or break thing for me. Through solid decisions and planning, I've provided for my retirement.
Medicare, probably but I haven't been to the hospital since I was a kid...
Yes, I will rely on dear ol' Dad who lived through it more than your "anonymous sauces" . Dad "gets it" He also remembers the REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDA back then, same corporate-backed sound bites you spout

Never been in hospital since a child That'll change after 65, and you will count your blessings while in a hospital bed that you live in America for your SS and Medicare. If only we would learn from every other Western Civilized nation in the world, and extend Medicare for ALL.

What reeks of hypocrisy is that hypocrites consistently call others hypocrites
