Obama Allegedly Called Conservatives ‘Tea Baggers’ in Handwritten Letter
Mediaite ^ | November 27th, 2013 | Noah Rothman

Posted on 11/27/2013 9:26:03 AM PST by Mozilla

According to a report in The New York Post, President Barack Obama allegedly responded to a letter he received from a Texas school teacher who was concerned about the negative impact the Affordable Care Act may have on the president’s political position by referring to conservative Americans as “tea baggers.”

“This bill has caused such a divisive, derisive and toxic environment,” wrote Thomas Ritter, a fifth-grade teacher at Sally B. Elliott Elementary in Irving, Texas. “The reality is that any citizen that disagrees with your administration is targeted and ridiculed.”

Ritter added that he was afraid to write the president in the first place because he believed he could face “retribution.”

“I watched you make fun of tea baggers and your press secretary make fun of Ms. [Sarah] Palin which was especially beneath the dignity of the White House,” Ritter closed. “Do the right thing not the political thing. Suggest a bill that Americans can support.”

The president replied to Ritter on official White House stationary by saying that he appreciated his “concern about the toxic political environment right now.

“I do have to challenge you, though, on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me has been ‘targeted and ridiculed’ or that I have ‘made fun’ of tea baggers,” the president replied, echoing Ritter’s use of the derogatory term applied to conservatives who identify with the tea party.

Sorry, but sometimes you have to get specific to feel the full impact of words.

Tea-bagging is the sexual act of the male partner’s testicles being licked, sucked, taken into the mouth of, chewed on and otherwise stimulated by his partner while he sits on their face.

Not sure if "demonizing" is the same thing as "making fun of," so Obastard may technically telling the truth.

Of course, his intent is still to deceive, so it doesn't count as honesty.

As long as I can continue to refer to pro-abort feminists as Peebaggers, I’ll wear that label proudly.

I always found if funny that liberals who claim to protect and promote gay rights, and accuse conservatives of being homophobic, use such a phrase often regarded as a derogatory term to describe homosexual men.

Only he can decide on what legitimate criticism is. If the critism is deemed illegitimate critism, then it by default will be “hate speech”, with the possibility of legal consequences.

I wonder what the media’s reaction would be if President Bush wrote a handwritten letter which included the term “libtard”?

I too find it strange when liberals oximoronically refer to conservatives as (snicker, snicker) “Tea Baggers”
