Is the term TeaBagger turning into hate speech?

[JakeStarkey]

No one is guaranteed a right to not be insulted, made fun of, poked at verbally, etc. Politics is a contact sport, and it is hurtful a lot of the time. But we all know what hate speech is, and, sorry, folks, being called a "librul" or a "teabagger" ain't hate speech.

 

[MarcATL]

What I can't stand about Tea-Baggers is that they lie and REFUSE to admit that the term was started by THEMSELVES.

It was ONLY AFTER they realized that the term had another meaning did they start feeling outrage or feigning outrage for that matter.

And one other thing? You should do a bit of research before you chow down on shoe leather...

Keith Olbermann took credit for popularizing the word on MSNBC Tuesday night. But the word "teabagger" actually started to spread after the Washington Independent's David Weigel photographed a protester at the first D.C. Tea Party Protest in February holding the sign, "Tea Bag the Liberal Dems Before They Tea Bag You!!"
"When I took that photograph at the first Tea Party in D.C., I thought it was funny," Weigel said. "I did not think it would play any role in defining a political movement. And while I personally don't use that word to refer to anti-Obama protesters, I am in very proud possession of a 'Proud to Be A Teabagger' button, so I guess the term has gone through the Lenny Bruce, adopt-it-against-our-enemies wringer."

If you say so...from my viewpoint, you, and Pilgrim, are crying over a term that has been applied to you that fits you to a T (pun intended).

The "fact" that calling someone a teabagger is hate speech? Your "facts" are wrong and no different that someone claiming that "libtard" is hate speech.

So basically, you're a crybaby and so is Pilgrim.

No, and the next time I start a thread whining that "libtard" is hate speech, let me know. I'm not Pilgrim or the T...I don't cry like a baby.

Of course the libs will keep attacking the conloons, as the conloons will attack the libs. And, for the record, T is one of the biggest whiners and babies on the entire board.

We rationalists in the moderate center are trying to keep sanity alive in the process.
