He's quickly surpassing Nixon as the most shallow, abrasive and petty man to ever hold the office.

Its a gay thing. Its their little gay inside joke.
I don’t expect civility from juveniles, but I also don’t take anything they say seriously.

at least with Nixon given his history and the way the media and the elites felt about him and his background and all, you could understadn where his paranoia and thin skin came from. Obama is on top of the world. The media and the glitterati all love him and worship at his feet. What does he have to be resentful or upset about?

The Left's defense is that some Tea Partiers call themselves Teabaggers.
Many black people call each other the "N" word.
Does that make it OK for anybody else to call them that?

When asked to comment on the “teabagger” namecalling, Tea Party spokesmen should be instructed to simply say “close enough!” with a big smile, and move on.
If pressed by an obnoxious reporter, they should innocently ask the reporter “what do you mean by ‘teabagger’?” The media outlet will cut the question (and the answer, if one is given) from the video, and that’s that.

As was evidenced by News Corps' announcement of higher profits today, the truth is a profitable enterprise.
Obama's steady stream of lies provides smart Journalists with a great opportunity to come into "their own"!
Prominence is a wonderful thing...eh, Barky?

IMO, the word "teabagger" is used as code for "white". It's a racist term as hateful and directed as any. And I'm a coward faggot for putting it in those terms.

I’ve watched the whole tea party evolve, from a rant by a financial reporter on cable, to tax day protests, to the political and cultural force that it is today, in two short years.
Never once during that time, did I hear the term “teabagger” until several nobodies and Gloria Vanderbilt’s daughter started giggling about teabagging and using the term on MSNBC. There was immediate recognition as to just why these people were using the term, they’re all sexual deviants of one sort or another.
To now try and claim that it’s a self-referential term coined by tea partiers themselves, is really peculiar.
These people do realize they’re being observed and they no longer can just airbrush history out for a do-over, don’t they? Apparently not.
To: Steely Tom
If pressed by an obnoxious reporter, they should innocently ask the reporter what do you mean by teabagger? Or, ask the reporter, would it be insulting to you if called a "Communist dirtbag"?

At issue was Tappers failure to point out that the term was originally coined by the Tea Party movement, which he addressed in an update. Lie.

He may want to ask Larry about tea bags. He's got in-house expertise now. Why dredge up the past?
