The teaparty in a teacup

You can't give a bunch of older conservative white folk a hard time for not knowing what teabagging is. How were they supposed to know, given who they are?
Opacity, the new Transparency.

It's probably one of the most intense attempts at revisionism I've ever seen. That said, I have a good deal of photographic evidence that's painfully funny.
The fact that Fox News was describing them as teabaggers in telecasts until someone explained it to them too was hilarious...

Which is why "teabagging" is so easy to find... Amusingly, the wikipedia article on it is blocked by my office firewall. Somewhere in our corporate headquarters, some IT guy is looking at the firewall logs, thinking, "Why the hell would he look that up on Wikipedia?"
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

As someone who had to explain it to them, no, we didn't give it to them, they came up with it all on their own.

An obama supporter explaining why Tea Partyers should be called Teabaggers... :rolleyes:

THEY'RE called... If you are going to correct someone on using a term, use the correct English. And they had been calling themselves Teabaggers until someone showed them what teabagging meant using Halo.

Proof?, who showed them? When did that person show them?

No, I was kind enough to explain to them why I was laughing. They then called me a dirty pervert(among other things) and began to claim they'd never called themselves that. That said, I STILL crack up at the elderly woman holding the 'I'm tea bagging for Jesus' sign. Though I do make a differentiation these days between those I refer to as tea partiers and tea baggers. If someone has sincere convictions on the subject and at least enough of a clue that mindless chanting isn't going to accomplish anything they qualify for the party, otherwise they're just out there teabagging the nation.

I could track down a few posts from the old CARM boards of my own trying to enlighten them as to what they were calling themselves through their profanity filters, but they're quite old by now and I don't really think you're worth it. But there were a lot of people like myself who, once they finished laughing, felt compelled to tell someone who was ignorant of what they were referencing so that they realized why we laughed. See, some of us try to help people so that they don't continue to look like idiots, or better yet, get a clue and stop being an idiot entirely.

She was probably an infiltrator, something you would do. It was in the news the other day that groups, including a middleschool teacher, was planning to infiltrate teaparty groups carrying misspelled racist signs calling for violence. That is a typical leftist strategy. Link...[^] Link...[^] Link...[^]

SO this would be black propaganda? Oh wait, you had the perfect example of it and still didn't understand it.
