It's sort of like calling someone a "homo" as an insult. Why does one's sexual orientation or the way they express their love and intimacy with another person qualify as a pejorative?

Seems a little hypocritical to me.
Because that's what the teabaggers were originally calling themselves before they realized what they were doing, and now they're crying foul because people keep rubbing their noses in it.

Maybe next time they'll think before naming their movement after a homosexual act.

Too bad they dont have the ability to rise above it and move on, but prefer to wallow and sulk. That's sort of their whole landscape... Glenn Beck's showbiz act as a way of life.

I agree. I have flagged numerous messages that use this term. The mods do nothing. That shows which side they are on, in my opinion.

Well let's face it, it was a screw up of biblical proportions. Smart people would have just got red in the face and faded off into obscurity after that.

Alas, teabaggers are not smart, so they stuck around. Oh well, the constant source of entertainment is nice.

I agree. Let's ban all discussion on a group that named themselves after a homosexual act.

And it is a source of consternation to liberals that our votes count just as much as yours do.

Exactly.

Teabagger is now and forever a term that has more than one definition.

Urban Dictionary: teabagger

Believe me, it pisses me off daily. I've long said we could eliminate most conservatives from the voting pool if we just required an IQ test with every voter registration, but my idea has been shunned.

Would that include the inner city liberals, too?

Or if there were nine-foot-tall Glenn Beck puppets at the polls waving them toward the nearest fast food joint.
