Extreme left wing poster after poster has reffered to the the Tea Party folks as "Tea Baggers" on this forum. I for one cannot think of anything less mature than to call those whom you disagree with names, particularly a name that is a sexual reference.

Reminds me of something a bunch of thirteen year old boys would do. But then again, maybe thats really their mentality.

Name calling like this is probably the most immature and pathetic form of debate there is.

what do you expect from the crowd that considers it the height of wit to intentionally misspell fox news?

Hillary Rodham Clinton Quotes

Funny how those words only apply to one side of the debate.

I'm a Tea bagger, and I find it funny, too. Does that make me a traitor?

If you let stuff like that bother you, your going to grow gray hair, or lose it faster than just dealing with what is happening to America right now.

Oh yes, it is indeed funny. If we were to do a scientific analysis, it would be those on the right who take first prize on the use of name-calling as a form of acceptable debate. I'm not excusing the other side since both are guilty of resorting to soundbite slanders to further their cause. But, after years on this forum, and a lifetime of listening to television and radio, it is clearly the right side of this foolish ideological rift that employs such tactics...with shameless abandon, I might add.

I was at the aquatic center and the TV was on one of those OTHER stations and the person talking was really trying to put down the impact of the tea parties. I do not understand the news stations that campaigned for Obama 24/7 keeping up this garbage. Do they not know we are on to them and do not listen to it anymore. There go the ratings. LOL

No, it just makes you a fanatic of fellow t-baggers.

Lies do not become you.

Google any pejorative combination you wish.

"Left wing extremists" - 59,000 hits
"Right wing extremists" - 230,000 hits

"Clinton is stupid" - 2,660 hits
"Bush is stupid" - 47,600 hits

Which president was called "the world's Number One Terrorist"?

President Bush.

Which president was caricatured as the Joker on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, and nobody raised an eyebrow? Well again that was Bush.

But now that Joker Obama posters have gone viral, suddenly that is proof of "racism" and all manner of things bad.

Democrats have been lying through their teeth for so very long that they no longer have any idea of reality.

Calling Republicans "Nazis" and "fascists" and "racists" is garden variety for the party that reelects Ted Kennedy, killer of Mary Jo Kopechne, to office every chance it gets.

Demeaning Christians in the most hateful terms possible is easy when you reelect a former Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan to the U.S. Senate, by name Robert Byrd.

Only Democrats can get away with such abject treachery, including the likes of Harry Reid who said "We've lost in Iraq" and Ted Kennedy and John Murtha who, like John Kerry, have smeared our soldiers on the battlefield.

You, sir, are beneath contempt. Far beneath it.
