What should we call the teabaggers?
At one point, in their ignorant stupor, they proudly called themselves “teabaggers”. Then when the left continued to laugh at them for not recognizing the irony, they decided to change to “tea-partiers”* and that those calling them teabaggers were being gross and disgusting. Funny how that’s exactly the feeling of the left when the ‘baggers first called themselves teabaggers. Glen Beck is still gross and disgusting.
Recently, I was warned of being banned from commenting on a newspaper forum for using the term teabaggers. Seems my free speech isn’t as important as CorpAmerica. But it’s cool, there are so many names that can be used. Morans is one of my favorites but it’s so last year. I coined “gullibles” but it hasn’t caught on. I have seen “hatriotic’s” but I think I am going with one I first saw on DU, “Foxholes”.

* Of course the Foxholes don’t recognize that the original tea-partiers were rebelling against the tyrannical capitalism of the largest corporation in the world at the time, The East India Company. Idiots, er I mean Foxholes.

33. Exactly.
Who here thinks if we had named ourselves something so asinine, that they would demure when we realized our mistake?

Teabaggers forever, baby!

37. Not me. It gets their tighty-whities in a twist...
so "Teabaggers" it is. The double entendre is just *too* much fun. (Dumbasses!)

41. I agree completely. However, there are forums that wont allow that term. I was looking for the next
best.

12. The Ignorati
Edited on Mon Mar-29-10 10:53 AM by GoCubsGo
(As opposed to the "Illuminati".) Because, sadly, the vast majority of them are painfully ignorant. And, one cannot be gullible or hate (their brand of racist, homophobic hate, at least) if they are not ignorant in the first place.

14. Their own ignorance demands that we continue to call them "teabaggers."
It's not my fault that they didn't discover what "teabagger" means until after they started using it.

Once a teabagger, always a teabagger.

19. Republicans.
They need to be tightly bound to the repubs, until the repubs have to kick them away.

31. Does the newspaper forum allow "Democrat Party"
If they won't allow Teabaggers, then they should not allow the Teabaggers to slur the Democratic Party.

42. The mod was very nice and I very much appreciate the forum as it gives
me a chance to debate the T-baggers. Banning teabagger was only because it has sexual overtones. It is fun confronting the Foxholes because they are so easy to get the best of.
