For those who can't understand why that term is so grossly offensive, please take a moment to enlighten yourself.
We good?
Anyhow, this repeated taunt of "tea bagger" continues to be tossed out by the likes of pompous lefty "pundits" Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow.
Just check out the latest gratuitous use of the phrase:
Dear Friend,
I got a message from Ted Kennedy's widow, Vicki, and I wanted to make sure you saw it.
Martha Coakley is running to fill the rest of Ted Kennedy's term, and her opponent is a far-right tea-bagger Republican.
Classy, eh? Well, I guess we shouldn't get in such a dither anymore. I mean given the sagging ratings of lefty talk shows (TV and radio), it's clear they don't have a lot of influence.
But what if I told you the above excerpt came from a letter penned by a United States Senator? That's right. The senior Senator from New York, the "Honorable" Charles E. (Chuck) Schumer, made that very statement in a fund raising letter.
Remember the good old days when we could reasonably expect our politicians to act with a certain amount of dignity and decorum? Yeah, neither do I.

UPDATE: The now senior Senator from Massachusetts weighs in on Republican Scott Brown's supporters.
"We also see how revved up the tea baggers are at the thought of hijacking health care reform and every chance we have at making progress in Washington."

Great post, Brad -- at least it was nice of Chuckie to give you a little show prep for Saturday.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama has also claimed the citizens that don't support his policies actually perform that sexual act. No-Class.

ReplyDeleteYep. It was Pre-Clinton.
