Teabagger

[smallstuff]

The first big day for this movement was Tax Day, April 15. And organizers had a gimmick. They asked people to send a tea bag to the Oval Office. One of the exhortations was “Tea Bag the Fools in D.C.” A protester was spotted with a sign saying, “Tea Bag the Liberal Dems Before They Tea Bag You.” So, conservatives started it: started with this terminology.

There is a picture of an senior citizen with his American Legion "overseas hat" on and his "I Love Jesus" band around his neck holding a blue, red and white political badge that reads "Proud To Be A Teabagger". I tried to import it but was unable to. It is hilarious though! You'd had to have been there to appreciate it.....hahahahhah!

If you would like to see the old cogger with his typical accoutrements of an evangelical conservative patriot, here is the page link. Just scroll down a few and you'll see the guy...he's proud as punch and just as silly to look at too.http://serp.freecause.com/?rm=y_cli...l&ys=6a91d331a3ec9bf06700381ca46f7360986cabde

Here it is. Had to change it to a JPG image for some reason. Had that happen before. Old guy looks totally innocent. LOL

Was the term coined as a perjorative with sexual connotations meant to be an embarrassment to the Tea Party?

Or do libs use it in total innocence of the sexual connotations.

Liberals know exactly what they are saying when they say "Tea Baggers". They probably invented that sex act.

You should put that on Youtube ....the "liberals" invented that sex act and get Conservative Larry Craig to narrate it for you. He was VERY good at it in 1999 when he chastised Bill clinton for being a bad boy...or even a "nasty" boy. Guess that was before he got toetapping in the john. Offensive as well as illegal

Of course they know. That's what makes it so hilarious. But they weren't the ones who started using the term to refer to the Tea Party.

But it was a TPer who first used it.

Such is the mewling excuse rendered by all liberals when pressed.

Translation: The liberals turned it into something dirty.

It was already something dirty. The fact that the TP crowd was so culturally tone deaf they didn't know that is what makes it so funny.

. . .and hence it took a liberal to make it dirty.

You're actually underscoring my point.

Is your point that it's incredibly funny?

 

[Angel of Dearth]

Is your point that it's incredibly funny?

No. That it's dirty and that it took a liberal to make it dirty.

Is that clear now?

 

[criticalthinking]

No. That it's dirty and that it took a liberal to make it dirty.

Is that clear now?

That's even funnier!

Looks like the guy in the picture is sporting a few leashes himself.

Did you check out my "teabagging for Jesus"? There's also a website named "Teabagging for Jesus".

 

[Cotton2226]

never knew a "bag of tea" had sexual connotations! Meant to be inflammatory!

I'm with you, Cot. The first time I heard the term "Teabagger", was when some Tea Partier used it to refer to themselves.

 

[Lapcat]

Don't they always.....

with everything?

 

[Lapcat]

The difference IS....the Tea Party Patriots, innocent as they were, used the term referring TO actual tea bags. You know....the kind that actually contain tea?

The leftists, per usual, turned the term into something filthy and vulgar.

Of course they know. That's what makes it so hilarious. But they weren't the ones who started using the term to refer to the Tea Party.

Jesus can't be real happy about that. It's a good thing he preaches tolerance. For Grandma's sake, I hope he practices it, too.
