50. Does anyone have ironclad evidence of them choosing the name "teabaggers" for themselves?
I'm ideally looking for a link that I can send to the next teabagger who uses the "that's just a name the librul media invented to ridicule us" line. Something totally unambiguous that they can't claim was "taken out of context".

I'm probably fighting a losing battle here, since these people are adept at creating their own reality, but it's worth a shot. I thought this photo would do it, but even that wasn't enough to convince one teabagger of my aquaintance that the word "teabagger" wasn't something imposed on them by the mean old media, the same elitists that delight in asking Sarah (PBUH) gotcha questions like "what newspapers do you read?"
