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.
Hat tip Kathyrn Jean Lopez at NRO.
You’re comparing apples and oranges. But I bet you knew that already and are just trying to stir the pot.
Its not a gay thing, its just a sexual thing. And it wasn’t a slur until the Dems started using it as such against the Tea Party protesters. In other news I recently had to explain to my Dad what “teabagging” meant. Thanks MSNBC.
But on the bright side after the recent election I did write some of the more disgusting left wing media types with this message: “If we’re the teabaggers then you just got teabagged!”
“I never thought I’d see a president that made slick Willie look good.”
No kidding. Who knows? Maybe Bubba is behind the obscenity that is Barack Obama, and just for that reason.
hehehehehe.
So presidential! *O* is a pig.
Well said, Kakaze. This man exposes his true character more and more these days.
There's another clever bending of the truth by our Congenital Liar in Chief.
The tea-parties are not trying to bring down health care. Quite the contrary...they are trying to protect it from being taken over by a corrupt government!
Word is that Obama HUSSEIN is an Expert at the practice!
Well, rumor has it that Obama might know quite a bit about Teabagging from his experimental days at Occidental and Columbia. |
And the MSM (M uslim S ympathizing M edia ) feels the same way...
When it comes to fag sexual practices, I guess he would know.
Comparing apples to oranges in Obama’s defense is a favorite pastime among FR’s newer members. I wonder why that is...

Is there something in your inane comparison that shows President Bush using sexual slang to insult and belittle an entire contingent of American citizens?
If you’re going to participate in a conversation, it helps to understand what the conversation is about.
Well, considering tea partiers are men and women, I think heterosexual men should be offended at the implication that they teabag. (/am annoyed this morning)
I would rather be a Tea Bagger than a Douche Bagger.
Trouble always starts with language ... unspoken disdain seeps in ...
Then watch out ...
