Ok... This Is From Faux News, But It Is Pretting Damned Funny (TeaBaggers)
New Book Says Obama Referred to Tea Partiers With a Slang Word
Wednesday, May 05, 2010

Steaming Mad

President Obama is being criticized for a reference to Tea Party activists with a sexual slang word considered crude and offensive.

Author Jonathan Alter writes in his new book that President Obama said Republican opposition to the stimulus "helped create the Tea-Baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party."

FreedomWorks spokesman, Adam Brandon, said the president "should apologize for his mean-spirited and derogatory comments."

White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton says he has no reason to believe the quote in Alterman's book is not accurate and that the term was not meant to be derogatory in any way.

Now... the last three conservatives on Earth that don't know what the slang meaning of teabagger is, will now know.

4. The call themselves teabaggers, and I have the pix to prove it.
To now cry out like hurt children because they chose their name poorly is, well, disingenuous.

5. Jesus Christ - some nutbag teabagger went after me on bag day April 15th
A friend had a portable computer and he pulled up the story of them naming themselves.
I even told her how I had asked the baggers at the county fair last year to cool it about bagging, but they were so proud about bagging.
