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. But others ran with it and ran with it.

Douche Bag John Mayer Threatens To 'Teabag' Drunk, Underage Fans

If I happen to be walking backstage and I see any of you young men passed out drunk on a stretcher, make no mistake about it, you will come-to in front of your disappointed parents with a face full of Sharpie and the sneaking suspicion that you've been teabagged by one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2007.

The Alleged Teabagging of Reggie Love

When Mr. Obama hits a rough patch in the campaign, Mr. Love is sympathetic. In college, embarrassing pictures of an inebriated Mr. Love from a fraternity house party surfaced on the Internet. “You make mistakes and you learn from them, and you try to use them to make you a better person,” he said.

“Try to wake up when you feel nuts in your face.”

Why do guys do stuff like that to each other?

I had one friend do the "hamburger" to me once, and it was quite disturbing.

First, the article is from Dec 09.

Second, it refers to the one sign at one Tea Party

Third, you liberal Cocksuckers know that TeaBagger is on offensive phrase but you scumbags and motherfuckers still like using it
