A lot of the posters here prob don't even realize that the term "teabaggers" is supposed to be off limits here. Not all the posters were around during those arguments when Parachute got offended.
And like most, new posters likely think it is a joke that you are equating a term that your own group unwittingly started using with terms that have been demoralizing minorities for hundreds of years.
If I remember, it was a tea partier who called herself a tea-bagger first...
Wrong.
no, not wrong.
go back and look at the photos, articles, advertisements/flyers, and video footage of the original tea party rallies. look at them outside of the health insurance reform town hall meetings. "teabag obama before he teabags you!!" was a popular sign and chant at that time. people had lipton tea bags stapled to their hats, their signs, their jackets, and they even called themselves that in interviews.
i had a whole bunch of links to articles and videos saved for threads like this one but i lost them all when my hard drive died.... there was a mountain of evidence to back me and KOR's posts...

Tough people stand up for what's right. It's not about sensative, it's about treating everyone decently.
I make tough arguments, and usually am in the minority on here, but the one time I name-called, I got a nice little ban- and I deserved it.
Rules are rules, I just want them to applied fairly...
...
Point taken.
As a note, I don't use the term, 'Teabagger'... not because I think it will offend anyone, but because I understand the term is incendiary and it undermines the point I am trying to make, regarding Tea Party agenda and/or candidates.
...
Slightly off-topic: The original Tea Party... they were rebels, whom commited illegal acts against a large corporation... and tried to blame it on the Red Man.
I get the overall connection... and how it was one of many acts that lead to war and independence from England. But, still... come on... how patriotic was it to turn the British troops on the poor fucking Indians?

Are you going to make any attempt to reply to the subject in my thread, or just bitch and moan about "namecalling?"
Dude, blaming one guy for the problems in Kill-adelphia seems short-sighted to me. Try the random packs of "teens" traumatizing everyday citizens....
Now please stop derailing my thread.
Corbett and his tea*** cronies are as much of thugs as those teens. I'd like to put 'em all in a gymnasium together.

I agree here Brandon...and I honestly think Mayday, you might be over-reacting. I'm not sure people are aware that its so offensive. But now we know, or at least more of us know.
I'm with Brianlux...off to the train car for a drink and some riot act.

So .... if a group has once identified itself by a certain name in the past it is still acceptable to use that term in the present?
Civil rights groups ... hint, hint.

when in american history have african americans referred to themselves as the N-bomb as part of a political movement like the tea party??
when did native americans band together and refer to themselves as a racial slur in fighting against the US government? did they create a political party using a word that was a slur to them??
:? :?
the rappers use that word in many difference contexts as a way of taking the power out of that word....

Ok so these posters just put up the evidence that the term was started by who ? yeah themselves or better yet your party, and all you can say is the above instead of saying "ok i stand corrected " .... :roll: Man up bro

Man up, bro? The term is offensive. That lady sent tea bags to congressmen in the tradition of protesting taxation without representation- the basis if the Boston Tea Party- and if anyone feels adequately represented by this congress- feel free to sing their praises- what nutsniffers like you do, is call that lady, or me, or any other Tea Party member a term that refers to what I've already described- it's an insult, you dirty nutsniffer you.
That old lady probably had a heart attack when she found out what nutsniffers like you mean when u say it.

If I opened it now would you not understand?
