The term "tea-bagger" is like uttering the "n" word, some say. Though he aspires to promote civility, evidence has surfaced that President Obama has added "tea-bagger" to his public lexicon, though it's considered a cheap and tawdry insult by "tea party" activists.
Watchdogs at Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) barked when they saw the proof, tucked in a sneak peak of Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter's new book, "The Promise: President Obama, Year One," to be released May 18.
"This remark is the equivalent of using the 'n' word. It shows contempt for middle America, expressed knowingly, contemptuously, on purpose, and with a smirk. It is indefensible to use this word. The president knows what it means, and his people know what it means.
The public thought we reached a new low of incivility during the Clinton administration. Well, the Obama administration has just outdone them,"

When a branch of the government endorses a derogatory term and applies it to a group it considers, although incorrectly, of one skin color, it has effectively institutionalized bigotry in public discourse.

Go ahead Mr. Obama. Try and shut this harbor down.
Even back in 1773 there were quite a few of people that didn't want to mess with the system. As in back then, now is the time to get a new system.

Well, let's look at the last three Democrat presidents.
Carter, Clinton, Obama.
And the best of the three was the impeached, disbarred, alleged rapist.
What does that tell ya?

“Cracker” is equal to the n-word also.
Have you ever hears the saying “black don’t crack?”
That means they don’t get wrinkles as much in old age.
White people are called “crackers” because they do.
