A white guy calling a Black guy a chimp is racist. Actually calling anyone a chimp is offensive. But wow does the phrase teabagger fit into this??? Are you implying it's a racist ?

Come on now....You know what tea-bagging is. The offensiveness of the term is widely known.

Lets assume you don't understand tea-bagging/tea-baggers. I do not believe for one second that you are too dumb to use Google to find a definition of the aforementioned.

Why cant you admit that you are anti-Tea Party and have used an offensive description?

The tea party are the ones that adopted that term. Embrace it man. Secondly, how is it offensive? I mean seriously. If right wingers accused leftists of engaging in sexual positions I wouldn't take offense to it, I'd probably find it humorous. Maybe I'm more thick skinned than most.

Because you equate chimps with black people?

The Tea Party movement is dead. It's really too bad, because it was a good idea until it got co-opted by Neocons 10 minutes after its inception.

Why can't you admit the tea baggers named themselves tea baggers in the first place?
PLUS their ridiculous platform laundry list of complaints pointing a bony finger of blame at anyone else but themselves. They put reagan and bush in office, and the fiddler for malfeasance came due. Millenials ever want to hold up who was to blame, they need only reference archives of tea party. History will not be kind.
