Teabagger, Teabagged and Teabanger all include male genetalia in a sex act. Sexist.

I find this offensive as a male. Can't we just call them assholes as Everyone has one and it would not be considered sexist in that way?



Waaaah! I done got my feelings hurt by a word.

Yes, but it's an intentionally degrading action and the teabaggers started using it themselves. HopeHoops Nov 2012 #3

and that a teabag is only about Lipton.

That's OK. Gay used to just mean "happy." Now, it is almost never used in that context.

These shitstains,in the beginning named themselves teabaggers...Until they began to grasp what else the term might mean,they were quite proud of the moniker....

Recognizing them,right away,for the despicable,STUPID shitbags they are,I found it quite appropriate they'd be referred to,and defined,by what is to me ,a disgusting and repulsive act....

I care no more about their feeling or opinions than I do those of a flea.......Fuck em...

Yes.I do note your sarcasm....I'm agreeing with you....

They called themselves "teabaggers" before WE did. Remember the "I'm teabagging for Jesus" lady? I don't even comprehend what that was supposed to mean!!! They only changed it to the "Tea Party" after months of us laughing at them over the name. I guess someone FINALLY figured out what it means. They're still teabaggers.

Those words early on. I remember an older woman telling a young reporter. "I am teabagging the President."

Young male reporter stood there faberglasted. Vid is on YouTube.
