The first time the media used that slang term was when Keith Oberscum used it on his show. It was never a term I had heard used by any Tea party member.

Shadow, Most Americans had never heard of "TeaBagger" and most still consider the word to be Tea Party Members.
Because you never heard it used in the news media, just means you didn't keep up with the news.

The news channels that I watch must not have had those pictures displayed. If the tea party knew what the slang meaning for it was they never would have used that term.
No matter what this grassroots movement is called, the message and belief is still monumental. It is sad that some folks are actually attempting to diminish the heart felt ideals of millions of patriotic americans with placing focus on one word! Sad!

The point being made is, Box and liberals use the word "teabaggers" when referring to Tea Party protesters in the derogatory sophomoric meaning of the word within their liberal circles. So when you hear Rachel Maddow use the word "teabagger" and snicker after saying it when reporting on a Tea Party rally, it is meant to mock and ridicule the protesters because they detest what the Tea Party stands for.
So my point to Box is, even though he thinks he's clever by acting as if teabagger is a word that Tea Party activist use to describe themselves is bullsh!t. It is derogatory rhetoric used by the left to inflame emotion and attempt to damage the reputations of those who participate in Tea Party rallies.
This is what goes through the minds of the perverts like Mahr and Maddow when they call people teabaggers. CAUTION!!! This link contains a sexually explicit image.
Check for yourself... when I use the word TeaBagger I'm referring to the TeaParty... If you substitute the slang meaning for TeaBagger in my posts, they make no sense. This is just one more case of the Right Wing Nut Conservative Word Police. Boo Hoo, they called me a name! I'm tellin mom!

If you REALLY wanted to be honest here, and put your political prejudices aside, both sides have pulled the stops out on using political rhetoric to make their case. It's what they do. And we are doing just what they want.......nit picking 'words' instead of digging for the truth behind the rhetoric.
Both political parties carry some responsibility for the economic and social condition this country is in today....there is no doubt about that. And so does the media. I am not a fan of hannity, beck or palin as I am not a fan of oberman, scarborough or matthews.
They all know the rhetoric catch phrases to use to sway the americans. And it is so blatantly obvious that it is almost embarrassing. Now, I do believe that this country is heading in a direction of socialism, intrusive government and over taxation. And I personally did not nor do I not need any media outlet, or rhetoric catch phrases to convince me of that.
My love of country, fellow man, freedom, flag, constitution and military is MINE!!! And I will speak out whenever I believe these freedoms threatened. Even if it is the government as the cause.
Don't get caught up in the 'political rhetoric' boxy!

"teabagger" and "teabagging" are slang for a person performing a particular sexual act and the particular sexual act itself ...... it is highly unlikely that Oberman and other liberal commentators were not aware of the slang meaning when they applied it to the Tea Party Movement ...... (just a hint) the first time that I heard a public figure using the terms to describe the Tea Party was when Congressman Barney Frank used it ... and that is all I will say on the subject

WOW! This is REAL PROGRESS. When I post anything from Jon Stewart, the Right's response is... WHAT, HE'S A COMEDIAN, and has NO CREDIBILITY. It appears that Cicero now considers Jon to be a reliable News Journalist, or a credible political pundit.
Or is this just one of those cases where a Right Winger uses a source on day as credible because it agrees with his agenda, then the next day, discards his "credible source" because it doesn't further his agenda.
Either Jon is credible or not... My guess is if I post 5 Jon Stewart clips, you'll dump him and discredit his words instead of using them for a source.

Yes, keep it up...Change the subject, twist, spin, do what ever you have to do. Are you disagreeing with Jon Stewart? Is his analysis wrong? Is Jon Stewart an agent of the right all of a sudden? That is good to know.
Let's not forget, we are debating the meaning of "teabagging" as used by your left wing talking heads. A fellow traveler called out Rachel Maddow for using teabagging in a derogatory manner. I believe he said it was an "unmistakable" derogatory word.
But hey, maybe Stewart AND Maddow don’t know the real meaning according to Box.
He's just a old man, sitting on the hill, looking out his window over his computer screen, through his rose colored glasses - looking for someone to talk to, to argue with.
