Correct just as the teabagger name is used to hold that group down. People us the name to avoid debate on the purpose of the group. The define the entire movement by a few nuts with a sign.

Both words are used to hold a group down and to marginalize them people seem to say its OK for one group you do not like and say its not OK for the group you do like.
The vast majority of 'teabaggers' don't know what the hell they're talking about. Most are old white and Republican...and no, I don't want to have a 'logical' debate about the purpose of the group because there IS no logical debate.

The 'teabaggers' are holding themselves down just fine, they need no help from me.

Thank you proved my point you can not debate in a logical way the core values of fiscal responsibility. Guess you like us spending on the credit .
Some day you will have to debate the fiscal responsibility of what this government is doing and has done for too long.

It's cute that you honestly think the 'Tea Party' is fighting for 'fiscal responsibility'.

Let's see the list then you can tell me which of those HERE like being refered to as a "Prog". You know what I am driving at so why not admit that the labeling and insults cuts both ways?

See if you can wrap your mind around this...

Who labelled the teabaggers? They did it themselves.

Who labelled blacks with the N word? Slave holders.

Hope that helps.

Let's try this again

You didn't get it the first time.
