President ‘Tea Bagger’ Owes Grandma An Apology
by Andrew MarcusJust so we understand the ground rules here: 1) calling a Progressive Democrat a Socialist is bad; 2) Calling “Tea Party” protesters “Tea Baggers” is A-OKAY.
We seem to remember when the Left went apoplectic over imaginary suggestions that they were unpatriotic for being “against the war” during the Bush administration. We seem to recall President Obama very recently complaining about being called a Socialist (why do Democrats find Socialist to be such a dirty word? What is it about being a Socialist that they should universally shrink away from the title?).
You couldn’t ask for a more textbook definition of hypocrisy.
It is perversely amusing, though, watching Media Matters defend President “Tea-Bagger” for referring to average Americans, whose only crime is to reject Socialism, with a sexually offensive slur.
For a reminder, here are some shots of some U.S. citizens, who, in the Media Matters universe, should be referred to by the President of the United States as people who take testicles into their mouths.
As we have written previously:
Democrats who play this game of ridiculing and vilifying regular everyday Americans must be crazy. They are in the election business, which means trying to attract votes. They seem to be going out of their way to malign everyday Americans, and the people who identify with them, like say, their loved ones.
Hey, Eric Boehlert, do you have any daughters? Or a grandmother? Would you like them to be referred to by elected officials as people who put testicles into their mouths? Do you really think it’s appropriate for any elected official to refer to anyone that way?

A Democrat may wonder – "what's a testicle, anyway?"
New Rules:
It's A-OKAY to call Hussein and his Posse of Clowns Socialists.
Just direct them to open their wive's purses, or check the fridge. They are usually kept there for safety.
You haven't explained why it is okay for Mr. Brietbart to use the term, but not the President, as Media Matters pointed out.
I think the pictures you have in your post above shows that Teabags are used as a symbol for the Tea Party — one of the women is wearing two teabags on her head.

Ok Obama, I wont call you a socialist. Instead, I will call you a POS COMMUNIST MUSLIM LOVER. You can go cry while kissing Soros backside now POS Commie Moslem.
Not much of a rumor, more of an unproven fact but it is interesting to note that all the leftist high profile types don't need to be informed as to what the practice is.
Prior to the insult being thrown about I had no idea, had to look it up. Ucky, Mickey, JPA and the rest of the clown posse all seem to be well versed in the deviant arts.
What a surprise.
He has a master's degree in it.
I bet Obama's mother was a big ole teabagger.
Obama has insulted and offended every American at one point or another. Is there anyone he will not offend??
Being that we elected a testicle, without a head, I can see how Obama could think and say something so stupid. In the old days we called a pussy like Obama a "dickless wonder" – but this may be in fact be an elevation in status in his case which is a "gutless wonder who is lower than chalk dust." The only difference between that and some douchbag from all of our pasts is the current douchbag Obama can, and very well may, get us killed.
Every time the term Tea Bagger is used the Tea Party should request the user to recite what the definition of the term is. Obama just called every member of the Tea Party a C**K SUCKER. Be it a President, the Media or just some Limp Wrested Anti-American Democrat. Use that term near me and I will knock the hell out of you.
I have no problem calling a Socialist a Socialist. I haven't told them to put anything in their mouth YET.

Good point!! Tea Baggees are just pissed they're on the wrong end!
You guys and gals posting seem to be stooping to our punk President's level here, let's clean it up a bit.
democrats are racist tea baggees who hate hispanics and success. Rahm tea bags the president for practice.
Demand apologies. Don't stop until they apologize. We have the number, and outlets.
I propose we re-name the idiotic, liberal's to; T.B.R.'s….short for, "Tea Bag Recipients"
I feel it is more than appropriate. After all, they are indeed sucking the life out of the productive Americans.
Well, another way to look at it is Andrew Breitbart's way, which is: A tea-bagger is the GIVER, not the RECEIVER. And think about it, just who are we tea-bagging? Hairy Obamalosi, that's who.
Just a thought. . . .
You morons named yourselves teabaggers.
And now whine about it because your ignorance of the term.
God you people are stupid.
I don't know about the 'testicle, without a head' analogy but i do think the analogy of a dick with ears is appropriate
Andrew, you had better be careful, you’ll get a bunch of libs excited with your salacious details in your post.
Just direct them to open their wives purses, or check the fridge. Check the freezer, they will be those small, raisin-like things in the baggie.

All the continuous talk by Obama is just a diversion to cover the crimes they are committing. Nothing is as they say it is.
The problem is thus:
The left (democrats, sociaIists, etc…) will do everything they can to remain in power and to gain power. This includes playing dirty tricks, spreading lies… They want to take our freedoms so violating them is ok with them. The left does not respect anyone who opposes them, therefore they go out of their way to dis-respect us.
The right (conservatives, libertarians, most republicans, etc…) are FOR liberty and FOR respecting other people's rights, not taking them away. Therefore the right does NOT stoop to tricks and lies like the left does (majority of the time… I know some rotten apples get in here). Because we have respect, even for lefties, we don't bend them over and we respect their right to believe and say what they want.
SocaiIism is the definition of what NObama is doing. I do not know why he resists that… Its not meant to be insulting, just honest.
It just bothers me that when they use the term they think they are so clever.
It makes them look childish but they are too stupid to realize that.
I think the clinical term for this type of mental disorder is called "Projection" wherein the speaker is projecting onto others behaviors and beliefs of the speaker
What you say is what you are!
Quoting Media Matters automatically nullifies any legitimacy to your post. And change your screen name. Almost every post of yours presents the libtard point of view, which is hardly 'reasonable.'
Isn't it interesting how you love to twist the truth—we call ourselves The Teaparty—your side dubbed us teabaggers. Get you facts straight the anonass.
Your such a damn idiot!
Less reason – more intelligence.
Brietbart is discussing the term, not using it as an insult.
President is the President. Somewhat undignified to for him to use a sexual slur in public statements, don't you think? At least Nixon and LBJ did it behind closed doors.
The term Tea Party and the associated written, verbal, and graphic statements and depiction refer to the Boston Tea Party: An act of civil disobediance protesting unreasonable taxation. When the protestors wear tea bags – that is what they are refering to: Not an oral sex act. If you really can't tell the difference between the two your social life must be rather interesting.
The leftist always telegraph who scares the hell out of them. Come on up and call me one to my face and I'll wear it like a badge of honor after I step over your prone figure.

Is there any other leader around the world as petty, classless and undignified as the braying street punk we have for a president?
Oh, and his wife can't stop referring to him as a Kenyan……...http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/05/is_michelle_obama_a_birther.html
America, you got punked. If Hussein came out and said I was indeed born in Kenya the thieves and liars in DC wouldn't do a damn thing about it and the Supreme Court would be sitting there like thumb sucking imbeciles.
We are indeed a backward banana republic. What country lambastes its own citizens while pandering to foreign nationals in its country illegally. It's long over due for a second civil war.

No, it's just too bad that a Marxist thug from Chicago was elected President of The United States of America and that the media, once the "fourth estate", who was supposed to help the people remain free by watching the government and remaining impartial, is carrying Obama's water and attacking the people.
I had to look it up myself, but it has been MONTHS since term first used. President has a staff of speech writers, PR advisors, etc. If he did not know the term when first used, does anyone truly believe he hasn't been told by now?
We'll talk to Cavuto about it, salad tosser.
certainly it was in the case of the unfortunate Mr Cooper…
Same here. Had to look it up. Obscure term. The degree of insult is less important than the source. You have been called worse? So have I, but I don't expect obscence insults from.
1. Political reporters from major media outlets that, even while editorializing, should maintain a minimal civility and dignity.
2. President of the United States. At least publically. Nixon and LBJ were pretty salty, but not publically and not to ordinary citizens.
I expect this from the denizens of Huffington Post – but not supposed serious journalists and certainly not from the POTUS.
What do we have to do to get a better quality of troll on this site? Anon, UNC, Voice of Reason… they are just a bunch of morons. Don't we deserve better?
Anon people are so stupid.
isn't Obamacare a dirty word now as well? i personally love it whenever the left throws around the term teabagger's, it simply serves as a reminder of their true colors. no word from the LGBT anytime the left uses it as an insult; maybe they listen for tone of voice in order to get offended.
If there's nothing wrong with the President calling folks the T-word, what's the beef with anyone using the N-word? Duh.
Do you think the Pres. ever listens to his own speeches? So much for not demonizing groups or individuals, or name calling…nice example to set for us all Mr. Pres. And that's precisely what's wrong in Washington and the White House. No respect for the offices they hold, the country they represent or the people they're supposed to serve!
November with be the month for teaching some serious manners!
You think so?
Maybe you're right? After all, look at the symbol of the Democrapic party. I can see what you mean by associating a symbol to a particular bunch of folks. I wonder if years ago, they realized how fitting it would be today?
I'm ready
Let's Roll
Your comment just about covers things today. Good Lord, how did we get here?
BOSTON TEA PARTY———hence…………TEA BAGS,…………..
ah but you knew that,……………right Voice,…….
you are just being a good loyal Obama boy.
I never heard of the term either until I heard Anderson Cooper say it, but I didn't look it up even then….
One of my first posts on BG, one of the trolls called me that….(One that claims he doesn't call others
names)….It is a filthy term in my opinion….and it doesn't surprise me that it comes out of the filthy
mouthed, thuggish Socialist left…I guess it's supposed to intimidate or shut us up….It will take more
then that to shut us up!!
"Democrats who play this game of ridiculing and vilifying regular everyday Americans must be crazy."
It would be more accurate to characterize this as the politics of 50 percent plus one. In other words: It doesn't matter if half the country hates you, as long as you get elected. There are just two wee, little problems with this approach:
• It's hardly original, seeing as how it was invented by Karl Rove. You remember Rove — he was the guy Regressives loved to hate eight years ago. Now, they've adopted his playbook — with a vengeance.
• As a candidate, Il Duce the Second pledged that his administration would rise above Bush/Rove politics of division. This became the first campaign promise the Liar in Chief threw under the bus with his appointment of Rahm "H.R. Haldeman" Emanuel as chief of staff.
anon =TBR – Tea Bag Receiver
yes Mac, and then take full credit when they don't………………..amazing
The President has marginalized and disrepected the office. Never has a sitting President called fellow Americans derogatory names. Obama should be ashamed of himself. He and his ilk have no CHARACTER. He's just another rotten-to-the-core Chicago thug.

Good God you Regressives are maggot-infested shits.
Why do you wear tea bags around your head? Why do you then get offended if we naturally call someone with tea bags floating around their face a teabagger? Do you not get it?
Look at the picture of the lady with 2 tea bags floating around her head. Now tell me why I am wrong for calling her a teabagger? I didn't force her to go and look stupid. She did that on her own. Maybe she should have looked in the mirror and asked herself, "Self, does this look freaking retarded?"
Everyone has missed the point. Calling a Progressive a Socialist is BAD because these are both political stances and they are different and it is BAD to not recognize that difference. "Tea Bagger" on the other hand is perfectly OK because its derivation is from a sexual practice and all sexual practices are good, so being called a "tea bagger" is actually a compliment. I suggest the proper response to being called a "Tea Bagger" is to politley return the compliment by responding with another non-inflammatory sexually derived term:
"Thanks, C**ks**ker!"
No, they are just the first that you heard use it on TV. I remember laughing about teabaggers when a conservative friend sent me an email requesting me to mail a tea bag to my congressman. This was long before the Official Fox News Tax Day Tea Parties and the silly idiots wearing tea bags hanging from their damn heads!
Geez, we have to point out that wearing tea bags is SARCASM. D'oh!
TFF and MSMcritic, you're absolutely right! We do deserve better trolls!
You're just too stupid to understand the SARCASM of wearing tea bags. D'oh! Go join your other trolls.
lol…Point taken!!…But let me say, I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, in back of
Comiskey Park….(Bridgeport, Mayor Daley's neighborhood)….I also love Chicago, but I know her
politics, and they are poison….I also know Obumble is from Hawaii, or Kenya….Or wherever…but
he learned a lot on the streets of Chicago, can't deny that!!
In fairness, even the post-script to the ABC News article that calls out Obama for his "Tea-Bagger" jab points out that Tea Partyers themselves were the ones who coined the use of the term "Tea Bagger", so the outrage here seems a little disingenuous. It's possible that there are people using the term who don't mean it to literally refer to people who "take testicles into their mouths," as Mr. Marcus so graciously explains to us. And the title of the post seems a little sensationalistic too — implying that Obama specifically called a little old lady ("Grandma") a "tea bagger" when he didn't.
I mean, I understand the point of the post, but when we shade the truth and distort facts as badly as Kieth Olbermann, we do ourselves a disservice.
[...] » President ‘Tea Bagger’ Owes Grandma An Apology – Big Government [...]
I thought the same thing and am committed to calling him that from now on!
Right on, pResident teabagger! You da man wif yo fine self. mmmm mmmm mmmm.
Maybe you should stop lying now. NO ONE affilliated with ANY Tea Party called THEMSELVES a" teabagger"!
And how utterly laughable that you use ABC as a source, as if they have ANY credibility. GMAFB!
@ anon: Cavuto uses terms sarcastically to mimic the Left. You're just too dense to even understand his intelligent 'nuance'. The (ugly) pejorative was first deposited upon the general public by the familiar Anderson Cooper, on air, on NBC/MSNBC, used despicably out of Cooper's reservoir of handy sexually homoerotic language, used against obviously NON associated with Cooper's language and lore, to try to embarrass, humiliate and negatively stereotype Tea Party participants.
Cavuto, not at that time aware of the disgusting environment from whence Cooper so readily referenced, used Cooper's ugly term to ridicule Cooper for using it. That's Cavuto's "nuance," to mimic and to expose the nonsense, though that he soon learned just what the term meant, Cavuto wisely stopped using it — the point here is that Cooper so easily, flippantly and quite disgustingly used the term in public on a national broadcast. AND that NBC/MSNBC didn't bleep him out for doing so.
Obama now using it — after the disgusting nature of the expression has been widely aired — was of even more disgusting nature because Obama used it intentionally, as Cooper did, fully knowing just what it means. Oh, and that Obama is, for now, occupying the White House, again indicating he has no respect for the Office, nor the nation in which that Office exists.
That's entirely likely, given the nude photos of her taken in what has been established to be frank davis' apartment.
I've started referring to them as "salad tossers" when they use the term teabaggers.
It seems apropos.
(refer to the "Urban Dictionary" for the definition)
It doesn't have one damned thing to do with ace. I don't care one whit what color the president is 9and by the way, he's mulatto, not black), what I AND the protestors across the country care about is him running up more debt in one year than bush did in his entire 2 terms in office, the pathetic showing of this administration on national security, the administration taking over or strangling private industry, the policies that are CONTINUING the nearly 10% unemployment, and any of dozens of other policies that bankrupt us as a nation and mortgage our future.
You can whine and cry about race all you want, but all it shows is YOUR OWN focus on race….. just because you call someone racist doesn't mean they are, and does not automatically invalidate what they have to say.
You had best wake up – the polulation as a whole is becoming extremely fed up with political correctness and race baiting by people such as yourself…… if you don't get with the times, *you* will be the one marginalized.
And judging from the content of your postings overall, you should have been marginalized long ago.
Stop being a horse's ass, and wise up.
Height, Keith Obermann does NOT shade the truth–he can't, because he couldn't recognize the truth if it hit him between the eyes.

Hi Mary, My husband was born and raised in Houston….All my in-laws are there and a few in Dallas…..You are 100% right, there's no such thing as an honest politician in
Chicago….and all can see, none came out of Chicago either…Just check out the
White House!!
Since teabagging is dipping one's scrotum into another's mouth, there IS no *fits like a glove*.
The only place anyone would find a correlation between the two is on an elementary school playground, along with such stunningly insightful correlations such as "You're a booger-head!"
In other words, you're wasting your time trying to justify and legitimize puerile name calling and denigration. It's still prepubescent name-calling, perpetuated because the left has NO coherent argument against the issues the Tea Party protests are putting foreward.
Grow up, and grow a pair, and maybe you'll be able to finally realize the difference between a sexual act and a revival of the early Colonial protests.
The teabaggers were the ones that started calling themselves teabaggers. Now you want to whine about it and play the victim? Try being intellectually honest for once in your lives.
And you, sir, are a coward. Let me repeat that. You, sir, are a coward. "Anon"? Indeed. The sign of a true spineless (and mindless) liberal–you won't stand up and take responsibility for your words, or anything else, for that matter, since "responsibility" is a word with which liberals are totally unfamiliar, and a concept which terrifies them.
As for stupidity, try this on in your single-digit intellect: the T.E.A. Party movement originally adopted "Tea bagger" as a simple nickname; however, you liberal catamites have turned it into a perjorative. THAT is what to which we take offense.

To hold the high moral ground you have to first be standing on it.

Thats OK. Democrats calling protesters offensive names makes that many more people who would not vote for them if their life depended on it. Calling American voters offensive names makes them an enemy for life.
http://www.PoliticalCentrist.com News and views for independent voters
rumor has it that Obama actually REALLY knows what the practice is…
It isn't a real stretch to believe the Teleprompter In Chief to be at least a 'towel snapper'- someone who lingers just a tad too long in the showers with his mates. CNN"s resident snob/perv Anderson Cooper certainly got the joke.
In a perverse way they seem to enjoy inulting those with practices they enjoy. Go figure. Maybe they know deep down that actions such as this are contrary to nature.
Then again…
Are you really unable to absorb the difference? Mr. Marcus, care of Brietbarts site, is reporting what has transpired. Our President, our Commander-in-Chief, the highest and most respected office in our Country is ridiculing fellow Americans, deliberately using a sexual term to describe fellow Americans, it is beneath the office, never has a sitting President called fellow Americans "ball suckers" It is disgraceful to conduct yourself in such a punk manner.
