He calls me the “T” word one more time and I’m going to dust off the “N” word!

The tea party patriots never called themselves that term. IIRC Cooper on CNN started it not us.

One time I heard someone refer to our former Governor as “that babykilling faggot”.

"IIRC Cooper on CNN started it not us." I think Jonathan Alter used the term first - in print - and Cooper was the one to first use it on the air.
As a homosexual man, he knew EXACTLY what he was calling them.

Any time a reporter uses that vulgar sexual term I use it as a litmust test that 1. they are a homosexual 2. they are using it to transmit their PERSONAL political view.

"Where in the world do they get they get the idea that "The Teaparty" coined the termTeabagger or "Teabagging"? " They pulled it from the same orifice they pulled "tax increases help spur economic growth"
Here's a hint - everyone has one.

He and Bawney Fwrank are the only teabaggers I know for sure are teabaggers in American politics...

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. Tea Party Movement coined the term "teabagger?" AFAIK it was 'coined' by Cooper Anderson when he said "it's hard to talk when you're teabagging."

They lie, the term was not “coined” by the tea party movement. The first it was used was by a bunch of gay a**hats trying to put down the tea partiers.

If you want to be historically accurate, they could refer to us the same as the british, “those bloody coffee drinkings”
we leave the tea drinking to the poodle politicians.

“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.”
I really do not think Nixon was paranoid...they were really out to get him. They wouldn’t have gotten away with it (democrats) in todays world with media outlets that will tell the truth, like Fox News, BigGovernment.com, etc.

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. Now why would they do that? That doesn't even make sense. Your other idea about asking them what teabagger means is ok.

He's quickly surpassing Nixon as the most shallow, abrasive and petty man to ever hold the office. I think you've got a tagline in there somewhere.

So according to this logic I can use the N word to describe blacks. I hear them use it all the time. So since they use is it is OK that I use it too.
That is what this is saying.

What does he have to be resentful or upset about?He's terrified that his secrets will be discovered, the BC being first and foremost.

As a member and supporter of the local Tea Party, I present the following:
“Teabagger” is our “N” word.

Good point. I wonder to what extent we could complain to the FCC equating the “T” word with the “N” word or more importantly as simply an obscene word not to be uttered on the airwaves? Maybe hit the commentators with a fine or two ... ;-)
