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.
Why even wikipedia can tell the purpose of why one would use the term. Geeeeeze some days I learn things I never knew I ought to know. Sick twisted bunch of perverts.
I’d like to see evidence that the term originated in the gay community.. the only people I’ve ever heard talk about it are frat guys, people on this board, and apparently the President.
What a statesman we have in the WH.
Piffle... Isn’t this the same kind of over-reactive hyper-sensitivity to unintentional double-entendre about words that we usually say is ridiculous, hysterical and tedious when the other side does it?
Well, maybe ridiculous, hysterical and tedious is always ridiculous, hysterical and tedious, no matter who does it.
Our opponents are master baiters.
Mr. MG2008,
You know very well what the meaning is and the insult intended. If you don’t, your lack understanding tells me you would probably be more comortable at a fruit stand in San Francisco than the Free Republic. But don’t be offended, women and conservatives will be there too.
I’m glad you are so concerned about the sexual practices of homosexuals vs hetrosexuals... was this a college course?
:)
The prez is a huge failure. He has no resepct for the slaughter of our soldiers at fort hood, as evidenced by his speech. But he sure does show emotion re:teabagging. He needs some social skills and training. Not even comparable to informal banter amongst the common folks.
Obama Uses Crude Gay-Baiting Sexual Slur to Attack Tea Party Protesters
This should make everyone angry, even angrier than they are now!
He is truly, a low class act.
But we all knew that, didn’t we?
I pray for civil war. This country needs to take the trash out to the land fill and burn it!
Comparing apples to oranges in Obamas defense is a favorite pastime among FRs newer members. I wonder why that is... Because they're here to subvert the process, just like they did in 2004 & 2006 (Dem-majority in Congress), 2008 (Obama), and to a lesser-extent in 2009. They KNOW Palin is the one they fear in 2012, which is why they belittle her NOW while feignly "supporting" the RINOs, just like in elections past ... See Blog Wars to get a feel of how and what they do, and be prepared for 2010:
The adult language provided by such luminaries as Connecticut Bob (pictured below) and Keith Crane, stalwart Connecticut bloggers who showed us what guerrilla blogging was all about. Naturally the Right was appalled -- and completely mystified by the people-powered politics of the Left. |
No argument here about that.
Also no interest in learning any more about what gay men do.
It's a distraction.
No
Hint?
It CAN be heterosexual. Women can, and do, do this, for their men.

So it’s a crude sexual reference - meant to demean. Same dif.
Indeed, if this is true:

Also, Obama may be a druggie.
Drug abuse would account for the recent weight loss.
For the POTUS to call a large portion of the electorate ‘teabag’gers is like saying to us:
F&*& you!
Also, Obama may be a druggie.
Drug abuse would account for the recent weight loss.

God help us!
Anyone want to check this out... go to a gay comedy club... and listen to the disgusting things the comedian says to the audience.
Both groups use racism and gay slurs against anyone who disagrees with them and expect the rest of us to just take it... s pfffft
Fact Hasan the shooter was a member of Obambi's transition team to advise him on Homeland Security...
Wish the Republicans would investigate that happy fact...
And, let's not forget that not only did Obambi have an abnormal response to Fort Hood shootings... the maggot doesn't want us to jump to any conclusions...
Call it intuition but the first thing I thought when I heard about the shootings was that this was a smokescreen to get us Patriots off on a tragedy instead of keeping our eye on the ball --> Health Care Reform passed right under the radar...
