Responding to an angry constituent’s letter about the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama allegedly used a sexually charged derogatory term referring to members of the Tea Party movement. -snip-

To his surprise, the 49-year-old teacher got a reply written on official White House stationary in which Mr Obama supposedly stated that while the health care law was 'certainly not the smart "political thing," it will be the right thing for the country. The president also took umbrage with Ritter's claim that his administration has been cracking down on Republicans and conservatives. ‘I... appreciate your 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,’ Obama allegedly wrote.

Obama - quite the uniter.

As a homosexual, he’d know the term.

[Chode]

the little faggot is simply projecting...

[Senator_Blutarski]

Obama certainly qualifies as a subject matter expert on tea-bagging.

[boycott]

No, Barack. Tea bagging is what Larry Sinclair did to you.

[txhurl]

Lord.. Please.. We.ve had enough of this. Please do something.

I’m skeptical about the veracity of this one. I don’t see him taking the time or energy to hand write a response. I’d expect at most a form letter signed by an electronic pent.

I’ll file it under “fake but accurate.”

As a homosexual, he’d know the term.

Teabagging" is by no means an exclusively homosexual act.

[Blood of Tyrants]

How I loathe that man.

[Hardraade]

This is no surprise. This is from a group akin to the Journo-list:

I'm happy that Stale Fagerland is on this list. Anyone who thinks that "teabagger" is hate speech needs the education that comes from exposure to real hate speech. The discourse of political disagreement is not "hate speech" by any stretch of the imagination. I am puzzled by the reference to "dirty homosexual term". What a bizarre post. <\i>

The writer is David Phillips, a Texas federal judge.

[csmusaret]

I certainly hope it isn’t.

[Vaquero]

I have no problem being a tea bagger. It’s the tea baggies who enjoy what dangles in their face

[Gay State Conservative]

When push comes to shove we can always count on Osama Obama to keep it classy.How may rapes and heroin OD’s were there at “Occupy Wall Street”? And how many occur at the typical Tea Party rally?

[CatOwner]

"Teabagging" is by no means an exclusively homosexual act."

Yep. Just ask any NBA player who has been teabagged and had a video of it posted on YouTube.

[RichInOC]

True. The bagger needs to be a guy. The baggee doesn’t.

[Eagles6]

He’s referred to us as such on video.

God is in charge, He will deal with Obama when it is appropriate. Oddly enough the Muslims believe in Fatalism as a tenent of Islam. Just watch and see the Islamists will do something yet to this apostate homosexual piece of human waste.

On the contrary, I'll bet a week's pay that this is 100% real.

This is the sort of thing they concocted in the Oval Office, knowing full well that it would be picked up by the news media, and inflame the Tea Party.

This is no accident. They're intentionally provoking their opponents.
