I think it is rather amusing that you do not see the irony in your statement.

Keep it up
teabagger is one that places their genitals on others heads. Can you show proof the uneducated do this more or less

Oxford and Websters' online dictionary does not carry the term Guido , which describes a certain male style popular amongst some Italian Americans in the NE.
urban dictionary. LOLs.

Look at Webster's or Oxford. "Teabag" is not a word.

You miss my point anyway.

These liberals are on here making fun of people for doing the same thing as they.

And then they tell us how smart and open-minded they are? LOLs.

That is a weak argument. Chatting on an anonymous forum and misspelling a word or using poor grammar is excusable. Displaying a sign while protesting a public event requires that you be able to at least spell words correctly like socialism. It's a different venue thus having more strict requirements.

It's similar to making a public speech and talking trash about football with your buddies at a bar. There are certain times when it's mandatory that one use proper grammar. It's sad that you can't make this distinction.

A teabagger is also a teabag member. And judging by those signs, it's not a stretch to suggest those people lack a college degree.

Not true in the least. There are no "requirements" for displaying signs. And all you have to do is look at some of the signs people like to wave around to know it. (The fact that they're putting their ignorance on public display is another issue entirely!)

The sadest part about it all is the fact that many teabaggers are homeschooling their kids.

Look at Census data. You will see that for 50 years the higher level ones education they more likely they are to vote republican.
1. You have not offered any evidence to counter what he said other than your statements.

2. What does it matter what 50 years shows if the most current polls confirmed that Democrats are more educated. So are you content with admitting that modern educated voters tend to be more Democrat?

3. Why are the best universities in the country considered "liberal" such as the Ivy League universities. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Columbia, Brown, Northwestern, the University of Chicago, Duke, Cornell, Penn, Stanford, Berkeley, and UCLA among others are strong liberal left leaning schools. Do you think that is a coincidence? These schools are ranked among the best in U.S. News and World Report and boast the highest GPA's and standardized test scores not to mention the lowest acceptance rates.

The fact that they're putting their ignorance on public display is the point entirely. Holding up a sign is similar to one publishing his or her work. This is common sense. If I'm typing something on an anonymous forum and not being held accountable for my words, it doesn't matter if my grammar is correct. If I'm protesting an event in public in which people can see my face and identify who I am, I am required to use proper grammar. Just because some people are idiots and have misspelled words on signs doesn't excuse the fact that they are supposed to use proper grammar and spelling. Again, the fact that you can't make this distinction doesn't speak well of you.

I guess if Conservatives are "teabaggers", ones placing genitals on others heads...then the Liberals must be the "teabagees", the heads on which the teabaggers place their genitals...I think I would much rather be a "teabagger"
