The teabagger slur is around to stay and it will only become more mainstream over time. I even heard a member of the movement use it to refer to others the other day ... He was a bit silver so he may not know what it means. I doubt that given the number of complaints about it though.
If it bothers you then gtf out.
The time for civil disagreement is past. Get that thru your skull. Gone.
They will not rest until people like me are brought into subjucation. I will resist and promote freedom and liberty as best as I can.
But the two cannot co exist.
In the end there can be just one.
Look - in real life "slurs" are fought with peer pressure. We don't use terms like "fags" or "niggers" and there's no reason to accept "teabaggers". Would you suggest that "nigger" was a slur that's "around to stay" because at one time rude people used it?? I'm sorry, but you've gone over the edge on this one...
