Barack Hussein Obama II, used a crude gay-baiting sexual slur to denigrate Tea Party patriots in a talk with House Democrats yesterday on Capitol Hill, reported the New York Times:
According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”
The word 'teabag' is used to describe a sexual practice popular in the homosexual community. Earlier this year as the anti-big government protest movement exploded across the country, liberals in the media first started calling conservative and libertarian protesters organizing under the Tea Party banner, "teabaggers," in a juvenile effort to gay-bait the protesters. Democrats, including now the president of the United States, have also used the slur.
The gay-baiting slur was used with gusto on MSNBC in April by anchors David Shuster and rachel Maddow. Newsbusters quoted Shuster:
For most Americans, Wednesday, April 15th will be Tax Day. But in our fourth story tonight: It's going to be teabagging day for the right-wing and they're going nuts for it. Thousands of them whipped out the festivities early this past weekend, and while the parties are officially toothless, the teabaggers are full-throated about their goals.
"They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending - spending they did not oppose when they were under presidents Bush and Reagan. They oppose Mr. Obama's tax rates - which will be lower for most of them -- and they oppose the tax increases Mr. Obama is imposing on the rich, whose taxes will skyrocket to a rate about 10 percent less than it was under Reagan. That's teabagging in a nut shell."
Newsbusters also reported the term was used 51 times in one segment on the Rachel Maddow show.
CNN's Anderson Cooper piled on the same week with his own gay-baiting 'teabagging' slurs.
Hat tip Kathyrn Jean Lopez at NRO.
There is nothing preventing you from doing so, go for it.
Bump
You betcha.
If Republican pols were on our side they would be helping preserve the Constitution. They would be helping us flush this shit out of Congress. They would be vociferous in their condemnation of Pelosi and Reid and Obama, they would put McChrystal on Fox and stand behind him and against Obama, and, and, and...
Lurkina.n.Learnin, it is wise to learn to think about what you've read rather than put your foot in it while being insulting at the same time, unless you're Nancy.
This Loyalist descendant is blushing...
Yesterday they voted over 99% correctly yet you say they did zilch.
Being a psychopath, I don’t think Obama can love any human being other than himself. To Obama people are simply objects like chess pieces - Things to be moved, used and abused for the greater glory of The One.
This is exactly why no conservative should ever apologize for offending a liberal, under any circumstances, whatsoever, even if the conservative is in the wrong. Liberals would never extend conservatives such courtesy, so they are not deserving of it themselves.
If testicles were meant to go in a woman’s mouth, men would grow them on their throat or forehead.
And who is surprised by this name-calling, arrogant, juvenile, irresponsible Muslim? Not me. He’s not wearing a Teflon suit, and soon we will see his New Clothes.
We’re just not that into your takeover of healthcare, the economy and your carbon credit scam/UN government scheme, Barry! It is high past time for the parasitic media sycophants to jettison themselves from the “bowels” of this administration into the light of truth and reclaim their Fourth Estate privileges.
But I wouldn't put it past Obama to use it.
Pundits on the left almost always refer to anybody associated with the tea party movement as “teabaggers”, it's become common.
When I hear them use the word incorrectly in that manner, I get this visual of the act and the face of the particular pundit sputing it. Ewwwwwww, have to delete it from my mind!
“Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”
Stellar performance of the Alinsky acolyte in chief. True, conservatives prob’ly won’t support dissenting members of the Democrat Party as we know it. But name calling is hardly a justification to ignore the opposition to an abomination of government usurpation of one sixth of the country’s GNP, a government that currently has it’s hands full trying to supply enough flu vaccine.
The way this man conducts himself - 0bama hopes, prays (to whomever), and works overtime to do one thing IMO.
Incite.
His greatest dream come true would be for someone to be incited or provoked into some form of unrest or response.
Then he will bring the hammer down on all of his “enemies”.
He knows exactly what his words (tea-bagging, extremists, etc) mean to us in the opposition.
We need to just keep doing what we are doing, because its really leaving a mark! Vote these Jack-holes out of office, thats all we need to focus on.
My local newspaper has - twice, in the past ten days - published columns in which liberal columnists (Paul Krugman and Froma Harrop) used the word “teabagger” in a derisive manner against critics of the democratic health care proposals.
Why do you think they cast one vote at a time? K? I’m through thinking for you. Good luck.
