Barack Hussein Obama II, used a crude gay-baiting sexual slur to denigrate Tea Party patriots in a talk with House Democrats yesterday on Capitol Hill, reported the New York Times:
According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit Democratic voters and it will encourage the extremists.
The word 'teabag' is used to describe a sexual practice popular in the homosexual community. Earlier this year as the anti-big government protest movement exploded across the country, liberals in the media first started calling conservative and libertarian protesters organizing under the Tea Party banner, "teabaggers," in a juvenile effort to gay-bait the protesters. Democrats, including now the president of the United States, have also used the slur.
The gay-baiting slur was used with gusto on MSNBC in April by anchors David Shuster and rachel Maddow. Newsbusters quoted Shuster:
For most Americans, Wednesday, April 15th will be Tax Day. But in our fourth story tonight: It's going to be teabagging day for the right-wing and they're going nuts for it. Thousands of them whipped out the festivities early this past weekend, and while the parties are officially toothless, the teabaggers are full-throated about their goals.
"They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending - spending they did not oppose when they were under presidents Bush and Reagan. They oppose Mr. Obama's tax rates - which will be lower for most of them -- and they oppose the tax increases Mr. Obama is imposing on the rich, whose taxes will skyrocket to a rate about 10 percent less than it was under Reagan. That's teabagging in a nut shell."
Newsbusters also reported the term was used 51 times in one segment on the Rachel Maddow show.
CNN's Anderson Cooper piled on the same week with his own gay-baiting 'teabagging' slurs.

I almost googled the info in your post (aack) to see for myself but decided to take your word for it. Was this in the mainstream news?
EXACTLY! Thanks for the post, Canedawg. You just saved me the time and effort to post Bibi's pic.
I’d never heard of it before either and still don’t...only that it is nasty. These people actually pride themselves for knowing such crude terms. It’s pretty sad.
I don’t know about that parental theory...yes, parents mistakes and abuses can cause life long issues among the children. At some point the child is accountable for his own actions. He knows right from wrong..unless he’s brainwashed because of ayers and wright.
Who is that guy with Barry?
No, it wasn’t. DU has discussed it, as have numerous, ACC sports-related boards.
The president of this fraternity being shot dead on I-85 a few months back might have made national news, though.
...Let him talk trash, the only thing that offends me is the rape and murder of the Constitution...
...This POSPOTUS and this POS congress will soon be brought to justice. Until then let our reasoned minds prevail. It won’t be long...
There was a period of time about a year or two ago when I used to frequently listen to Randi Rhodes on Air America while driving home from work. (The station eventually failed and was taken over by Catholic radio -- LOL!)
It was bizarre. Nearly every day Rhodes would manage to work in one or more snide comments about Jeff Gannon. Remember Gannon? He was the conservative reporter with "Talon News" allowed into the White House press corps, who turned out to be gay, and to have worked as a male escort, or some such, at one point.
Well, that story was from early 2005, had a shelf life of maybe a few weeks, and here's Randi Rhodes more than two years later, still bringing it up nearly every day!!! Like I say, it was just weird. And she would use the most outrageous terminology; even the one rhyming with "sludge slacker"!!!!!
There were all manner of other completely gratuitous homophobic comments she would make. For instance one day she played sound bites from some interview or debate involving Richard Perle. Well, you can probably imagine all the hatred a leftist like Rhodes spouted about a "neo-con" like Perle. But mixed in with the usual slurs, Rhodes kept going on about how he "sounded gay," just as if that was a damning indictment on a par with accusations of treason, fraud, war-mongering, and the like.
I heard so much of this -- granted it was never in a single, extended rant -- but so much, so consistently, so often, in bits and pieces, that I actually came to believe that, despite being a solid leftist, Rhodes really had some kind of problem with homosexuals.
So anyway, one day I'm driving home, get bored enough, and switch on the Air America station. Rhodes has some kind of gay activist on the air, and Rhodes is fawning all over him. And Rhodes is going on and on, congratulating herself about how she's always been a strong pro gay rights advocate and activist. This is the same women who'd called a gay man a f****-p***er on the air just a few weeks before!!!!!!
I nearly drove off the road. But Randi was clearly being 100 percent sincere. She clearly saw herself as pro homosexual. But somehow it was, in her mind, entirely consistent with this to savagely attack homosexuals, using the most vile, graphic hate speech, so long as the targets were conservatives.
It is, of course, the same thing leftists do with blacks, with women, and many other groups. But still, it was something of a revelation.
If you’ll recall Obama did admit to drug use in this interview:
http://www.russpage.net/barack-obama-cocaine-use-and-60-minutes/
I’ve known several people hooked on crack cocaine and none of them have recovered. A friend of mine who works in rehab says the recovery rate for crack addiction is less than 1% after five years. Also, he said that most people are addicted to crack after only one “hit.”
There is no such thing as a “social crack user.” If Obama used crack ten years ago, the chances are he’s still using it. The same with his homosexual affairs - he’s still doing that thing as well.
We have some real impeachment material here, folks, if only we could get a Republican Congress with guts...
Stay where you are........
Ayers and Wright and many others have taken advantage of his crippled psychological nature. It would have been brilliant if it were republican, conservative and pro-Constitution but only evil does those things.
You don’t think he loved Frank?
Obama please keep digging that hole deeper.
This reminds me of a thought I had when reading the first healthcare bill about the “death panels”. Gays ought to be rising up about this healthcare bill because if they think Obama is going to spend the millions of dollars they do now on drugs to manage HIV/AIDS like they do now they have a rude awakening coming. They, like the old and disabled will also be refused care.
He's already gotten to China and hasn't encountered any opposition.
Obviously Republicans in Congress are on Obama's side and we're on our own.
I'm calling you out Mr. President.
“Obviously Republicans in Congress are on Obama’s side and we’re on our own”
You must not have caught that vote in congress yesterday or you’re obviously oblivious.
