I was just pointing out a potential flaw in his argument, which is valid in my own opinion. But please if you feel the need to abandon ship then please do.

Marie-Therese Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I have only a simple statement to contribute. I really, really wish that those in opposition to the Tea Party movement would cease and desist from calling those in favor "tea baggers" because of the horrid connotation. I am sure that they are well aware of the pejorative, but it's just wrong to have that image tossed at you from the telly all day long. If it was a tea bagger movement, I can assure you, things would be looking WAY worse than they are right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] i can think of plenty offensive thing the Tea Partiers yell at everyone else... but you are right. name calling, while fun doesnt really get anywhere. and there are plenty clever-er names to call. the actual hilarious part is that some of them refer to them selves as teabaggers. whether or not they know what it means, thats just dumb. (lets be honest, if i had a band/political party/ bowling league named the Skidmarks, me being ignorant of the actual meaning of the word wouldnt make me any less of an idiot when i name myself that.)

Nihil Obstat Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I wonder if anti-Tea Partiers ever go to those protests and events and such and call themselves teabaggers when the media comes by. I wouldn't put it past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
