OK. Maybe not a bg deal...but if you can make a point out of it somewhere, even if they write to defend why they use such a degrading term, it will raise awareness of their slimy tactics. Letters to offending news and online orgs would help too. Congress isn't listening, CNN and the originators don't care, but they are not literally trying to keep the lights on the way some of the smaller AP outlets are...

I just checked the piece to which Redstate.com linked. The phrase “tea party” apparently has replaced “teabaggers.”

The more you complain about it, the more they will use that term. It’s just who they are. A better strategy: Start using the term “Teabagged” to describe what happened to the liberals in Massachusetts. One thing about liberals is that they can dish it out, but they can’t take it themselves.

I don’t understand why folks are so sensitive about this. The only people that understand the “joke” are a bunch of snickering faggots and the media elite that hang with them. Who cares about them? They are politically unredeemable.

Normal people don’t even know what “teabagging” means in it’s insulting form. It’s really only an insult if you accept the bad guy’s meaning. And the only ones that are so sensitive are political junkies. It seems to me the fags have gotten their goats.

I don’t really care. When I “teabag” or “tea party”, I send teabags to elected representatives. When they teabag, it’s perverted; so it’s kind of their disgusting little problem, not mine.

Liberals think that by defining correct English usage, they can control discourse. Wrong. Let them call us what they like.

They call us “teabaggers” just to get a reaction and to piss us off. Typical commie/Alinsky tactics. I’ve grown to accept the term “tea bagger” and refuse to acknowledge the negative connotation. I think we all should accept it. As big a numbers as we have, we can take it. We’re the ones fighting for freedom and liberty, we’re right and we know it!

There is another approach:

Recall the British derisively referred to American colonists as “Yankee Doodles”.

We made into a proud, patriotic marching song and kicked them out. :)

Alway like the lying liberal left. The party of everything gay uses a disgusting gay sex act term to describe people they do not like. Just like they love calling Rush Limbaugh a big “FAT” idiot...they are the party of tolerant...remember, they incessantly preach how they, and not the right, especially Christians, are tolerant. EVERYONE else is intolerant and LIBERAL must be empowered to enact laws to get us to conform.
But...don’t talk about their vast part in the KKK and their part in the Slavery history of the US. These people want only to talk about gun sights with intolerant bible references on them and how a manger scene in a town square is EVIL and on and on and on. Oh, and those rottone TEABAGGERS...yep they want the reference without any question...they are the tolerant left!

Look up the history of “Yankee Doodle”.

We are far better off adopting the term as our own. Even now, after less than a year, there are far more political overtones to the term than sexual.

The minute we object, we have lost our advantage. Stand strong, stand proud and turn their derision against them.

Point is, by accepting the term, AP is accepting the knowing usage of a factual error. That OUGHT to mean something to them.

Suggest to them to do a Google image search using the term...

How about this:

Whenever a MSM fool uses this term, our guys need to reply with, “That is a pornographic term you just used. You now have a choice - apologize and promise to not use it again, or I will explain to your viewers - in graphic detail - exactly what it is you are saying about Americans who want their country back.

Which will it be?
