One woman I know who still likes Obama actually watches Olbermann. My husband said she called tea party people ‘tea baggers.” I wish I had been there when she said that because she probably doesn’t even know what it means.
Most of the people who now use the term “tea bagger” know they are using a very derisive term, much like the “N” word to describe a group of individuals. I have found in my 55 years that the vast majority of bigots come from the left. I enjoy explaining to those who use the tea bagger term that that term does not apply to tea party patriots, but to sexual perverts...generally democrats... to describe a homosexual activity. Shuts them up usually.
