Teabagger

[Woolleybugger]

I use it as a form of ridicule myself.

 

[Cotton2226]

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

the word never stirred up my harmones!!!!!!!!!!!! lol Takes more than it used too FL........

The answer to your first question is no. The sexual connotation to the word "teabagging" has been around for a very long time.

It was the tea party that referred to themselves as teabaggers......that is until Rachel Maddow told them what the term means.

And then they (typically), blamed the messenger.

 

[TomFitz]

Rachel is the one who told the tea party what the term meant. I suspect that a lot of people out there already knew and were laughing at the tea partiers behind their hands before anyone on TV finally said anything about it.

 

[criticalthinking]

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.

wahhhhh!

 

[TomFitz]

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

Translation: The liberals turned it into something dirty.

Your translation is a lie.

The term's sexual connotation has been around for a very long time. We can't help it if you and the people you're making excuses for weren't smart enough to know better than to make fool of themselves.

Cotton, man, your continued references to your dead/dying d**k are gonna get you put in an old folks home if your kids get into your computer.

 

[Cotton2226]

Blueboy, from reading some of the stuff you think of lately, far more chance of you getting there first!

 

[Greenridgeman]

My youngest is 6'2", 240.

He drank the last of my coffee, came in after not seeing me for a month, gave me a big hug, and I pinned his ass and put a knot on his head for drinking the coffee and not replacing it.

They can't pin me yet, to get me in no home.

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.

it was first used to describe the people in the movement by ONE OF THE ORIGIONATORS OF THE MOVEMENT!Liberals did not create it for them,the media did not call them teabaggers, THEY THEMSELVES DID !

The former.
Libs may be dumb, but they know all the perverted and aberrant as well as the pejorative sex phrases and words.
G'day, Greenie!

[GordonGecko]

Again, it was a spokesman FOR the first Tea Party protest who said

"We're going to tea bag Congress".

Oblivious to the other, sexual defintion of the verb...but again, not a "liberal"...but one of THEIRS.

 

[MaryAnne]

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

I am glad someone admitted that! I never heard of the expression. And am still trying to find what it means!LOL

Hmm so how is it that you know the meaning of this term?

Liberals tend to use the name in a derogatory way. I did not not know that the term had any sexual connotations and do not think most folks do either.
