I've gone over this with you before, but you've completely failed to acknowledge any of my posts. Perhaps you have me on ignore, and if that is the case I apologize for posting this yet again. However, there was a time early in the tea party movement when tea party attendees themselves would call themselves "teabaggers"...eventually, I think they caught on to the double entendre and then it became offensive. I don't care for the term at all and would prefer that it was no one used it...observers or tea party participants...but I think it's a bit ignorant to pretend that tea partiers didn't initially use the term themselves (particularly because I have now informed you of this fact multiple times...you can't act like you didn't know it).
So are you starang21? That is who I quoted and asked the question of.

What's a little North of "teabagger?"

DrPhil 02-17-2010 01:08 PM
Cocksucker? That's what it was? Womp womp.

I've heard of "cocksucking liberal" and "cocksucking conservative." That's all.

It read like a rhetorical question.

Don't be a dick...obviously I'm not starang21. But I read it like a rhetorical question, this is an open discussion board, and I've brought this to your attention before but you continue to ignore it.

Hmm. Don't get your panties in a wad. There are numerous instances of posters using different ID's in GC.

Because some people refer to themselves and others in their group by using the "n word" that does not make it okay to refer to them as such. Why? Because it is inflamatory, unnecessarily offensive and serves no purpose other than disparagement.

If those who attended the Tea Party events referred to themselves as "teabaggers" it was more than likely because they had not heard the term used as a sexual act. I know I had never heard of it prior to MSNBC harping incessantly about it. Just so you know, I attended several "Tea Parties" last year. You and I both know it is a pejorative term, so why would one want to use it? The answer: to be unnecessarily offensive, to inflame and to disparage.

I have now answered you. Can we be friends? :)

Not necessarily.

Come now. If I were to start throwing that word around on the forum it would start WWIII. I would be banned and rightfully so. Why? Because it is inflamatory, unnecessarily offensive and is used to disparage. I stand by my comment.

I wasn't asking you a question.

I made a statement. And that statement stands :)

So, whose fault that they called themselves teabaggers without researching the term first?

I don't even think that's in the same ballpark as what you are saying.

Heh.

If it bothers you that much then you may want to call oxford over its inclusion as word of the year.
