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.

I hadn’t heard of the dead boyfriend.
As for Gergen giggling...well Gergen is ignorant.
Gergen is one of those Bi-guys, as in Bi-Political. Willing to work for anyone (Clintoon and previously a Pubbie, but I can’t remember which one). So like one of Elliot Spitzer’s hookers, he’ll say whatever the person paying him wants him to say. So when on Anderson’s show, he’ll laugh at anything Anderson hangs in front of him.
teabagging your defeated opponent is something young punks do on xbox live
So at the next round of tea parties Everyone should get a set of truck nutz and hang them under sign and state this one is for you mr cooper!
The left can say what they want. I hope this gets more coverage and the people see what he meant by that terrible statement. Anderson...you should be ashamed. I gave you the benefit of the doubt for a long time. No more.
Rachel OTOH is a “three-bagger”...
Several freepers tried to warn that this would inevitably happen when the teabag campaign first started.
Well, call me ignorant but I never heard of it thank God. I hope the people stay on cooper and gergin...they are disgraceful and should be made to apologize.
And I might add that dollar amount is on the low side other estimates put the value at nearly two million dollars.
45 tons of tea is a LOT of tea. It turned the harbor water brown for days.
The movement needs to come up with bigger, better bolder.
Hell, collect $1.00 from the 60 million people who voted against Obama and add several million more who are onboard for ideology - and it would buy a massive amount of tea that could then be dumped on the mall or something.
Something big and dramatic. Still non-violent protest.
Think what $20 from 60 million conservatives would buy?
$1,200,000,000 could buy enough friggin tea to bury the capitol or at least block access to it for awhile. Just sayin.
That amount would probably put a bit of a dent in the available world tea supply. It would actually suck up about 1/3 of the available world tea supply if I have my figures correct.
So, everyone buy stock in teas and...hehehe.
Go big will be the recovery and saving grace for next time to get rid of the piddly “tea baggin’” moniker.
100% agree.
These protests were a good start, as modern conservatives have no experience with either media savvy grassroots campaigns or actual gatherings and protests. We have jobs and families, and generally associate 'protesters' with hippies and communists.
That the MSM debased itself in its coverage is a good thing, too. It will open a lot of moderate conservatives' eyes to how stacked the deck is against them - and make them mad enough to move forward toward bigger things. The attitude now needs to be "trying laughing at THIS, a$$h*les..."
There needs to be some stout hearts ready for what is next. Like you, I advocate totally non-violent but very visible and symbolic protests. We need to walk a fine line and do things like you mention. Dumping tons of tea in front of the Capitol comes close to property damage. Once we grow a set and begin to walk that line, there will be a massive overreaction from the press and the government. Remember, the Justice Dept. under Clinton drove tanks through a church. The recent DHS report on 'right wingers' should remind us that Obama/Holder could be every bit as bad or worse than Clinton/Reno.
We need to be prepared and informed. Know your legal rights and the law. Keep a copy of your Constitution in your home and vehicle. We'll know when the media and government has received the message when the sex jokes stop and the crackdown begins.
There is some irony in all this. After watching Obama apologize to the bullies of the world, afraid to stand up to any of them. it occurs to me that he doesn’t have the “equipment” required to commit the act for which the MSM accuses us of.
“Hey, Obama, grow a set. And not for Anderson Cooper, but so you can stand up to the Axis of Evil.”
The presidency. Not exactly, but it would be more than both campaigns combined raised and spent in 2008.
Would reporting him and his MSNBC cohorts to the FCC do any good, especially in this administration.
oh...the FCC is aware...and probably not.
this clown & CNN are about as consequential as a pimple on an elephants rear.LOL
My only disgusted guess is it has something to do with tea-tea.
Who said people have the "right" to act in deviant ways, offending society?
It only recently used to be perfectly proper, expected, legal, and constitutional to outlaw deviancy.
