CNN's Anderson Cooper should have his dirty, little gutter mouth washed out with soap.
Then he should be fired.
Cooper, a cover boy on the homosexual magazine "The Advocate" and listed as among the most powerful "gays" in the country by OUT magazine, made what can only be characterized as an obscene and disgusting comment during CNN's biased coverage of Wednesday's "tea party" protests around the country.
"It's hard to talk when you're tea-bagging," he said.
That was a revolting attempt at "inside humor" by Anderson Cooper.
"Tea-bagging" is known in the homosexual subculture as a practice involving a particular form of oral sex.
This is hardly the kind of comment Americans would expect from a respectable TV newsman paid by one of America's largest media corporations in prime time.
Just as sickening to me was the reaction from pervasive pundit David Gergen, who giggled in response to the comment.
Did Gergen, a former White House press secretary and a favorite political analyst of the establishment press, have any idea what Cooper was saying?
Who knows? I doubt it. So why was he chuckling? Is he in the habit of laughing at jokes he doesn't understand? Was he more interested in protecting his own gig at CNN than in standing up to an immature, little weasel of a pretty-boy anchorman whose work might be more well-suited to the Comedy Channel or HBO than a serious news network?
I can only guess.

Just look at Cooper’s ratings. I think that spells it out. What does he have one person watching?
And he will get a pass because he is insulting conservatives. Now if he said this about Osama Bin Laden, Ahmadinejad, Putin, (pick your left wing radical or international kook) the MSM would run him out of town.
Of the hundreds of parties I've been to in my life, I have never heard of this.
Of course, I'm an old fart soon to reach the double-nickel, so this stunt may not be of my generation.
I had never heard of this. It's so vile. OTOH I am glad I don't know the subtleties of the perverted homosexual culture and OTOH I was ambushed by this. It's DISGUSTING.
well said, an american idol president, a pop culture worshipping msm, and a populace being bailed into oblivion
Let them mock the ‘tea party’ this time but there’s a follow up movement coming to Washinton DC soon.
The Pitchfork Parade!

“I can’t even begin to conceive what it means.”
I just googled it.
Speaking of CNN since it’s so fitting, here’s what I wrote them earlier this week on their online feedback site.
My comments are with respect to an interview I heard on radio by Susan Roesgen which I later watched online. As a former nightly CNN viewer I can tell you why I no longer tune in to you or to any news networks. You have allowed your personal politics to drive your news coverage.
Instead of reporting the news, without bias, without a slant, without filtering news that harms Democrats, without stacking the decks in favor of Democrats in terms of air time, without so many talking heads and without so called reporters who tell you what to think rather than just reporting the news, you have transformed yourselves into a toilet organization filled with opinionated, negative, biased, agenda driven intolerant news coverage. How could anyone other than those who feel miserable want to watch this garbage?
I stopped watching CNN the same night Sarah Palin who I was enamored with was viciously attacked by Campbell Brown just hours after her announcement. That was a disgraceful, dreadful performance so bad that I removed you from my channel lineup after 20 years of loyal viewership.
So TRUE!
Yes I never heard of it either, nor astroturfing (fake protests). Because the left wingnutjobs have words for it they must do it.
The maturity level of a teenage *girl*.
I've known enough of them to say that you nailed it.
Cooper should know.
That was my thought as well.
He should be fired. He is offensive as is that Rachal person. She should be fired too.
I actually started hearing about it in my Marine Corps days which were in the 90s, but I think it is mostly a college prank.
Keith Olbermann also made plenty of “teabagging” comments. I had to look the term up in the Urban Dictionary yesterday. ....a website I suspect that has had plenty of hits these past few days.
I’m disgusted about this. I had no idea this term was slang for a sexual act.
Since Bill Clinton managed to soil children’s minds with the constant reference to his habits, nothing seems to be off limits.
Don’t these people understand that while they certainly do have the right to act in deviant ways, others also have the right to be offended.
CNN has lost all professional credibility along with NBC.
Sheesh....I dont feel so good now...but that was funny!
He was making a joke for his gay viewers at the expense of the tea party patriots. Here is the CNN link for feedback to AC 360:

I had never heard of tea bagging until Madcow started obsessing about it on MSNBC.
Nobody who actually participated in the tea parties used the term.
I’ve no clue what it means. I asked DH & he gave me his theory. Not sure if I believe him or whether he is just trying to put ideas in my head.
