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.
The inmates are running the asylum.
There's certainly not misinterpreting what's going on here.
I was unfamiliar with this slang term. It's interesting that it was on the tip of the Democrat's tongues isn't it.
I guess two can play at this game.
Something is being overlooked and misconstrued with this.
“Teabagging” certainly has homosexual overtones, but its origin is not among homosexuals, but was and is a sort of frat prank intended to embarrass and to humiliate. The “victim” is usually passed out, dead drunk. Photos often are taken and passed around as a joke. Think of similar, but less peculiar, college pranks ... shaving cream, actual shaving, lamp shades, shoe polish. Same thing.
The notorious example of this “teabagging,” not coincidentally, occurred in North Carolina, in the basement of the best fraternity on the UNC campus. The “victim” was a well-known basketball player for arch-rival Duke University, just up the road. This former Dukie is now in the White House, working very closely with Barack Obama.
His name is Reggie Love.
It’s also interesting, the difficulties that this fraternity, to which so many Presidents have belonged over the years, is having of late at UNC.
One could certainly circle back to homosexuality, given the widespread and persistent rumors regarding Obama himself, as well as his very close relationship and daily, personal interaction with Reggie Love, but the original act that I believe set this whole, seeming vendetta into motion, was perpetrated by very straight, white fraternity brothers.
Therein lies the reason that Obama is all wee-weed up about teabagging, and I do mean both terms in their original slang context, and all that that entails.
As far as I know, the pictures are still floating around the web, surprisingly, for those strong enough of stomach to seek them out.
Fact Hasan the shooter was a member of Obambi’s transition team to advise him on Homeland Security...
+++++++++++++
With all due respect - Hasan was a member of a task force at GWU that was formed to give advice to the bammy transition. He was not appointed directly to bammy’s transition team.
I too am in the dark about what it is.
And please, I want to stay in the dark.
Anything that applies to faggotry, well let me stay uninformed!
Wow! (and Yuk!) I hadn’t seen that extended quote from Shuster before, with all the “licking,” “nut”shell and other obvious inuendos surroundig his use of the t**-b****** term. That explains a lot about Shuster, including the way he always used to pronounce “Hard-baaaal”.

There will be a price to pay.. and it will be steep one.
Keep spewing your hatred of this nation, Obama.
This isn’t Survivor DC,, there is no immunity.
Is it just me, or do the pictures of him with gay guys depict him as far happier than the pics of him and michelle. (Smirk)
It gets worse:
Obama is alleged to have killed his homosexual partner in this video:

The guy passed a lie detector test that indicated he had sex with Obama and did drugs with him in 1999.
The man who knew too much...
Malik Hasan Obama said what?!
That’s certainly interesting!
Obama may well be a homosexual, but does not consider himself one because (1) He’s married and has children and (2) He has been the ACTIVE partner in his homosexual relationships (3) He has never been in love with a man.
Faggot Obama should know the proper terms and slurs.
Isn't it, though? The only teabaggee we've ever heard of, is on Obama's small, personal staff.
It's early development psychology. His mother's dominance and Frank's friendliness created the wack job we see today.
Fortunately for Obama he married a narcissist like himself so they don't need to get close to each other but can depend on each other.
LoL!
Seems like the left has taken this word for their own use.
