Teabaggers think that "Teabagger" is an insulting term.

[More_liberal_than_mo]

My good friend and former colleague C.D. Jaco, a progressive radio host in St. Louis, recently had an encounter with "Sharp Elbows", a despicable teabagger blogger. After being harassed by this creep for what seems like hours, Jaco accidentally bumped into the guy (they were in a large crowd of protesters). Jaco apologized but was later arrested and charged with disturbing the peace when the teabagger claimed he was assaulted.

See the video (submitted by "Sharp Elbows" as proof) and you be the judge.

1. Since when did they become so sensitive? They call others all kinds

of hateful names. I really do not think anyone is insulting
them.

[SteveM]

2. It is. That's why I use it. nt

[WeDidIt]

3. Teabaggers called themselves teabaggers to start with

so the term is there and will NEVER go away.

They're teabaggers.

[HopeHoops]

4. Holy FUCK! They finally figured out what it REALLY means!

Dang, it has only been how many months? How about the "I'm teabagging for Jesus" woman? I won't call them anything OTHER than "teabaggers", and never with an upper case "t".

5. Teabaggers should be tougher....

you know, they should be willing to "take it on the chin" (credit for that beauty goes to someone here who had that as a bumper sticker idea)

6. Wow. The camera guy was such a baby. An bump by accident and

this guy was whining. He obviously has something in common with all the whiny Rethug babies we saw yesterday.

7. I Knew CD in the 70s...

A great reporter and guy...glad to see he's still fighting the good fight.

8. I'm thinking of starting a political group called "The enema baggers"

Just to see how long it would take them to figure that one out...


:7

9. THey finally realized what it means....

boy they are slow...

:-)

[LiberalFighter]

10. I would say the case will be thrown out.

And hopefully the judge slaps a fine against the guy pressing charges.

[Tailormyst]

11. Well, they are idiots....

[old mark]

15. The best of them are idiots,the remainder are followers of idiots. nt

[Lasher]

12. They came up with the name themselves.

Trinkets were being peddled outside the national teabaggers' convention in Nashville. One selection was a silver tea bag necklace. They picked the name teabaggers, now they can wear it, quite literally in this case. So fuck em.

13. Perhaps they'd prefer "teabagees." (nt)

[TheCowsCameHome]

22. That would be the recipient of the actual "bagging"

:rofl: :rofl:

[Heidi]

26. And that's exactly what they're gettin' from THEIR leadership,

though they don't know it.

[KingFlorez]

14. They seem to love lying about being assaulted

Part of their "activism" is falsely accusing people.

[Juneboarder]

16. We can call them D-Baggers if they prefer... -nt

[DrDan]

17. I heard this on a call-in show couple of weeks ago - and found it funny

as it was this group that encouraged the members to send tea-bags to their reps and were wearing tea-bags attached to their hats.

[pipi_k]

19. Well, one thing they can be glad of...

most of them could tell the difference between tea bags and tampons, and the ones who couldn't just copied the others...

[blueworld]

18. I'm sure we could come up with a few better things to call them

Loosies? (loose tea) Dips? Bag ladies/gents? Dumpers? :rofl:


Hope the judge throws out the charges quickly.

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. I like the term. If they don't, tough.

Do they enjoy saying "Democrat" party? You bet they do.

So therefore, Teabaggers it is..............

[Bluebear]

21. In the words of Sen. Bunning: Tough shit.

[Last_Stand]

23. I might consider it if...

some of their members stop using the n-word...

[guitar man]

24. why yes, it is insulting

some people deserve to be insulted :evilgrin:

[Hassin Bin Sober]

25. They prrefer Ball-Chinians.

[RZM]

27. I think it's a bit puerile

I personally don't like the term. Not trying to be holier than thou . . . it's just not for me.
