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.
Since succeeding his father in 1955 John Dingellberry has been trying to get a health care bill like this through the congress. Congratulations Dingellberry!
You are so right...
God BLESS Benjamin Netanyahu...
“The Tale of Reggie Love led to one of my most memorable moments at UNC. Being born on March 6th, I have the fortune of always having a birthday on week of the UNC vs. Duke game. During the 2004 - 2005 season, it fell on my birthday. Somehow, someway, I found my way into the game through a campus contest, during which we were immediately handed teabags as we walked through the student gate. Nearly 6,000 teabags littered the student section, although not one was raised until Reggie Love walked onto the court.”
The photo in your post is near scientific proof of Obama’s homosexuality.
Keep your crude DU curses to yourself, thank you very much.
The subject matter you posted was disgusting and not worthy of being on FR.
There’s also this little thing called a sarcasm tag ( /sarc )
that indicates to readers that the author is joking. Your post didn’t have one, which indicated you were being serious.
After being here for almost 11 years, you should know that.
Wow, and the worst I ever said about B. Obozo was that he is a racist and anti-American trotskyite who isn’t terribly bright. As for R. Maddow, he should keep his show and personal life separate.
What the heck is tea bagging? I’m only 46 and never heard of this before.
Very good post and information devolve.
I read some of this on a link from Drudge. As you wrote, ‘They knew’ but Political Correctness kept them from doing anything.
Be interesting to see what changes in the future.
I was 35 before I heard the term ‘gerbiling.”
LOL, I guess my mother kept me locked in too long because I have no idea what that is either..Gosh I feel so stupid..
What pleasure having a gerbil where the sun don’t shine is beyond my realm of imagination.
There is a link in Kristinn’s article to the definition of Teabagging
(LOL! Better to hear ir from a fellow freeper than out on the payground!)
People in their forties don’t ordinarily know what “tea bagging” means. I had to ask a younger liberal at my place of work. They all seem to know. I got by just fine not knowing.
Sorry that link did not work. I have no idea what this information may be so if you have any other way to relay the info, I’d appreciate it. If not, that’s ok.
Ok - sorry but still don’t get the Reggie Love / Obama connection or the connection to the Fraternity President who was shot by the police.
Thanks.
That’s a great suggestion. Throw choice words at them:
“No, not tea bagging, silly—forget what you learned in the public school system. It’s tea party, as in Boston. History can be educational.”
Gotta agree with you on this. Don’t let us be like the heathen Democrats and resort to contrived offenses...there are enough of the real ones.
Thank you for reminding me.
Obama is a punk.
Save it before it's deleted, 'cause evidence is rapidly vanishing from data bases. It's costing a fortune to keep him in office but the payoff is even bigger.
