Why Do We Call Them Teabaggers?

[lame54]

Oh yeah - they came up with the name

[Spitfire of ATJ]

1. Someone on YouTube typed, "That's why God made this video."

2. My favorite:

"Down with sodomy, up with teabagging!"

[pitbullgirl1965]

9. IKR?

That's so my new sig line. Idiots.

[MyNameGoesHere]

3. Ha! Im teabagging for jesus

Best political slogan ever.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. Guess they haven't read their bible.

When asked if the people should pay taxes Jesus said "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's".

4. I am so glad they use Lipton Tea...

I never really was much of a Lipton Tea fan. When I buy tea, I love Chinese teas like Pu Erh, or Oolong Tea. Japanese green tea is also my favorite, especially the kind used in the Japanese Tea Ceremony. This is called Matcha and can range from 55 dollars a tin to far more expensive tea.

I seriously doubt those in the Tea party really have ever experienced fine quality tea, since they mostly like to wear it

5. Of course they'd used Lipton.

They don't want no stinking Godless Commie heathen tea!
Idiots

6. Dumbasses........

Now they're trying to say we started calling them Teabaggers.......

When will Republicans ever take ownership of their own crap?

[Rain Mcloud]

7. From the Urban Dictionary:

An adult act performed by consenting republican/conservatives on each other to express their fake outrage to imaginary tax increases (most of these idiots actually just got a tax break)

During this act one republican/conservative nut job (pun intended) drops his pants in public and slowly lowers his scrotum into the eager mouth of another right wing nut lover.

Some basic Teabagging participation rules

1: Participants have to be very low income (preferably on welfare)
2: Participants have to be avid Fox News watchers (this makes certain the participants are brainwashed to the extent of being borderline retarded)
3: Participants have to be republican/conservative
On 04/15/09 (Tax Day) broke ass republicans throughout the country gathered in public and performed mass teabagging on each other for hours while complaining about some imaginary tax increases

8. I think they looked around

Trying to find something with an IQ they could feel superior to. And there it was! A Tea Bag!

11. Keep the government out of my Medicare had to be the most bizaare statement.

13. Man! All those teabags affixed to heads...

...and no large pot of boiling water to dip them in!

14. AC/DC was a nice touch, and I'm glad you included "I'm Teabagging for Jesus".

But the answer to your OP is simple. THEY started calling themselves "teabaggers" until they found out what it meant, and then suddenly it was "tea party". We didn't come up with the term, they did.
