Andy Borowitz: Teabaggers Finally Google 'Teabag'
When I use the phrase "Tea Bagger," I do not mean an insult with the sexual definition, I am referring to the political definition. My words are and have been political banter, not a personal, disgusting sexual insult.
I doubt the intent matters much anymore. I think they've mostly become immune to perceived insults, and some even gain more strength and determination.
I have been having private communication with a USMB member who is very upset with the phrase "Tea Bagger," and takes it from the sexual definition as a grave insult. I can see his point. This is why this thread to hopefully remove the sexual insult, and make it clear that my statements about Tea Baggers is purely political disagreement. Based on the links provided the term "Tea Bagger" is in mainstream term used by the media. To my knowledge no other name has been provided by this political group to describe themselves.

No one is insulted - after all, the Tea Partiers did coin the term themselves.
Then why are they bothering having any communication with you? If you consider that term to be a political definition, you're in over your head.
It is an epithet applied by one group to its political enemies, and if it did not have a correlative sexual meaning, it would have not have sufficient bite (ahem) as an insult to that group.

Actually, the more the Obamabots call them names,
the more people realize that these guys aren't capable of countering the movement... I mean really, what's the argument? High taxes and $1.5 Trillion annual deficts make sense? That the government involvement in anything will make it cheaper? That turning 1/6 of the U.S. eonomy upside down to benefit 1.3% of the population ads up? That bailouts make sense? That government programs are more efficient than free-markets?
So... let's just call them "teabaggers" Kinda like a five year-old yelling "you're stupid".

Why not try "Partier" rather than "Bagger", then?
It just seems that if a word is taken as an insult, and you're not trying to insult someone, you should just use one that is less offensive.
Because, invariably, when you use the word 'teabagger' someone is going to turn it around on you and accuse you of being insulting rather than addressing your point.

To begin with, if the shoe fits...... I am coming to the conclusion that "Tea Baggers/Partiers are stirring up this sexual insult bit as a way to promote sympathy for themselves.
Facts are Tea Baggers threatened the life of CNN's Anderson Cooper, and Tea Baggers themselves were the first to wear the Tea Bag hats. The term is now main stream media. If Tea Baggers keep the conversation on the words "Tea Bagger," they don't have to talk about the issues. Tea Baggers are merely racist sore losers who boarder on terrorism. I guess I am one of those who has heard enough about the subject of Tea Bagging, but will not let them prevail in these threads.

Now here is something new, Tea Baggers talking Tea Bags about Obama. What are you Tea Baggers tripping on! Come on! If Tea Baggers can't laugh at this you are missing half the fun! Let your sense of humor go, don't take this so seriously. Sometime if possible, I would like you to see what people who know me, are saying about Tea Bagger comments on me! You've hit the nail on the head a few times! Yep, the politics are serious, but all this hoopla is just part of USMB experience!
