Is the hate for the use of this term another example of repressed sexuality by the right wingers? My theory is the visual of a ballsack makes some men feel homoerotic and it jars an angry response. Just my opinion, bag away (or dunk away, not really an expert with the teabagging gig)

    nope. unless it is sex with children or animals.

    liberals only fuck themselves because they love themselves so much.

    I just watched about 10 videos. I can't believe how many racist fucks there are in America. If this teabagger movement wanted to be taken seriously they should have seperated themselves from the idiots long ago. It is 95% racist morons in the movement....sad.

    Ugh..they created the term and referred to themselves as "tea baggers" and had "teabagging" rallies, with declarations like "tea bag obama!". But once they start getting ridiculed (fairly) for choosing that term they decide that they have the authority to declare it an insult and and demand everyone stop using it. Screw 'em, they brought it on themselves.

    +1,000. You lie in the bed you make. They will be teabaggers as long as they keep organizing as a group. After that they will just go down in history as teabaggers. :lol:

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    It appears the Tea Party Movement has reached mainstream and into Marvel Comics....

    Marvel admits to 'mistake' in controversial Captain America comic

    captamerteapartyfear1.jpg
    It looks like Marvel Comics' Captain America is throwing his mighty shield at the Tea Party Movement. Warner Todd Huston wrote on his Publius forum blog that the super-powered soldier who fought the Nazis in WWII observes with disdain Americans who are seemingly compared to Tea Party Movement protesters of today:

    In issue number 602 of Captain America, a new story line has begun called “Two Americas.” In it the current Captain (there have been a few of them, apparently) is on the trail of a faux Captain America that is mentally deranged and getting chummy with some white supremacist, anti-government, survivalists types going by the name of “the Watchdogs.” While investigating this subversive group, Captain America and his partner The Falcon — a black super hero — have decided to try and infiltrate the secretive organization.

    In preparation for the infiltration, Marvel Comics depicts the two super heroes out of costume and observing from a rooftop a street filled with what can only be described as a Tea Party protest.The scene shows crowds of people in city streets carrying signs that say, “stop the socialists,” “tea bag libs before they tea bag you,” and “no to new taxes.” Naturally, the people in these crowds are depicted as being filled with nothing but white folks.

    I like how they call themselves a movement. In order to be a movement don't you have to fight for a particular issue like gay marriage, woman’s rights, civil rights? What the hell is their issue?

    1. Limited Government

    2. Fiscal Responsibility

    3. Personal Responsibility

    4. The Rule of Law

    5. National Sovereignty
    the issues that formed
    the bedrock of the original tea party
    movement – namely ending an unconstitutional
    foreign policy that is bankrupting America and
    auditing the private Federal Reserve.




    It will be a shame if the party cannot codify itself as a "middle class" party, which it seems to be, and begin to write in detail what that means...i.e. opposition to corporate globalization, illegal immigration, bank bailouts, rampant lobby influence, emphasizing economic liberty, de-emphasizing religious and social issues....

    issues....


    #1 is quintessential republican/libertarian/any other "conservative"party
    #2 same
    #3 don't elections make politicians personally responsible? screw up... no job. in the private sector you can float by for decades... so what exactly does personal responsibility entail?
    #4 you're for enforces laws to a stricter extent? which ones? we do already have the highest number of people in prisons per capita than any other country in the western hemisphere...
    #5 so... your policy is that the USA should continue to be a sovereign nation???

    ...
    Those 5 points are so vague and ambiguous... like people saying, "I stand for Freedom... and Liberty". Don't ALL people stand for Freedom and Liberty?
    1. Limited Government. Limited to what?
    2. Fiscal Responsibility. Meaning... what? Responsiblity... how?
    3. Personal Responsibility. Then, why give the Bush Administration a free pass on their actions?
    4. The Rule of Law. Are there people out there who advocate breaking the law as a principle?
    5. National Sovereignty. Again... please, explain.
    ...
    And this:
    the issues that formed the bedrock of the original tea party movement – namely ending an unconstitutional foreign policy that is bankrupting America and auditing the private Federal Reserve.
    Are you talking about the Boston Tea Party... or the current Tea Party rallys?
    ...
    Finally...
    de-emphasizing religious and social issues...
    Does this mean de-emphasising Christian religion in governement... and gay marriage as an issue?
