Has anyone else noticed that more and more people are dropping the "T-bomb" lately? Yes, I'm talking about the words 'teabagger' and 'teabaggers'. I'm seeing interviews with national and government officials using the T-bomb (full well knowing the pornographic definition) on cable and in the media, as well as so-called 'celebrities' using these disgusting word/s to disparage a whole block of American citizens who have been exercising their Constitutional First Amendment rights to free speech and peaceful assembly in their affiliations with the TEA Party movement.
Since the fictional N-Word 'controversy' continues to be a liberal meme across the nation and the internet, we conservatives need to put together a video/audio resource with ALL the instances that liberals (GOVERNMENT officials starting with Obama on down, MSM anchors, etc.) have called TEA party attenders "teabagger" and/or "teabaggers" and put that video montage on YouTube for all the world (and American voters) to see.
Here's the definition of the N-word from dictionary.com (censored by me):
n*****
polite form "N-word"
—Usage note
The term (N-word) is now probably the most offensive word in English. Its degree of offensiveness has increased markedly in recent years, although it has been used in a derogatory manner since at least the Revolutionary War. Definitions 1a, 1b, and 2 represent meanings that are deeply disparaging and are used when the speaker deliberately wishes to cause great offense. Definition 1a, however, is sometimes used among African-Americans in a neutral or familiar way. Definition 3 is not normally considered disparaging—as in “The Irish are the (N-words) of Europe” from Roddy Doyle's The Commitments—but the other uses are considered contemptuous and hostile.
–noun
1.
Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive.
a.
a black person.
b.
a member of any dark-skinned people.
2.
Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc.
3.
a victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks; a person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised.
Origin:
1640–50; < F nègre < Sp negro black
I propose that the following definition be used for the words 'teabagger/teabaggers' now, especially since they are becoming more and more commonly used by national/local government officials concerning various constituents in their districts, or others' districts, and is becoming more and more widespread among those in the mainstream media, as well as among various "Hollywood" type celebrities:
teabagger/teabaggers (pl.)
polite form "T-word", "T-bomb"
—Usage note
The term teabagger is now probably the most offensive word in English in current American politics. Its degree of offensiveness has increased markedly in recent months. It's source is commonly attributed to CNN's Anderson Cooper in regards to early TEA party rallies in early 2009. The word is pornographic in nature, involving the slang term for a particularly offensive and graphic male homosexual act. Definitions 1a and 2 represent meanings that are deeply disparaging and are used when the speaker deliberately wishes to cause great offense. Uses of the words 'teabagger' and 'teabaggers' are considered contemptuous and hostile.
–noun
1.
Slang: EXTREMELY Disparaging and Offensive, especially when used exclusively in reference to patriotic American citizen/s from all walks of life, of all different political parties affiliations, skin colors, creeds, and religions who attend periodic national or local, peaceful, non-violent "TEA" (Taxed Enough Already") 'parties' (rallies) which support anti-BIG government/anti-EXCESSIVE taxation issues, among other conservative issues.
a.
a conservative person/s who affiliates with the TEA Party movement.
2.
Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a person/s of any race or origin who is affiliated with the TEA Party movement regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc.
3.
a victim/s of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks; a person who is economically, politically, or socially (affiliated with the TEA Party movement) disenfranchised.
Obama
The most offensive word in America today is: Obama
Liberal
muslim
NI = National Instruments
Chill.
Just because a small minority of perverts want to maintain control over a word “teabag”, does not mean the normal majority must run away like little sissies.
The more you vent over this issue, the more credence you give it.
Just ignore it.
I hear there is a pornographic reference to the word. Thankfully, I have not a clue what that reference is.
PLCs!
(Once more, but with paragraph HTML).
NO.
I will not ignore it when they are referencing my 9 y/o freedom loving TEA rally attending daughter in this disgusting manner. It’s one thing to hear Anderson Cooper and liberal MSM types giggling while they use the term repeatedly knowing full well the nastiness of the meaning, and that many people in the TEA party movement are ignorant of its true meaning.
That goes for my toddler twins and myself who attend TEA parties too. I’m sick of it. I will speak up and call out officials and others who drop the “T-bomb” repeatedly. If we just ‘ignore it’, they gain more and more power. We must call them on their disgusting behavior and condemn it whenever and wherever possible.
(Once more, but with paragraph HTML).
Once more please... but this time, WITH FEELING!!!
Many historic names started off as smears... Yankee, Methodist, etc.
We can take it.
We’re going to shove a teabag down their frickin’ throats come November!
Can you say ‘Modbus TCP’?
Oh, I can! I don’t get into the PLC programming here, but I do know what you’re talking about! :)
