Why do those that fear the tea party are so quick to use repulsive sexual content in describing the group.
The rage that is seen with the use of the n word to denigrate a group of people is not seen in the denigration of the tea party people and the names that are allowed to be used.
If you do not agree with lower taxes and lower spending then talk about that. I see few people in dissent capable of discussing the issues without the use of degrading sexual names.
Oh boo hoo the T-baggers are so picked upon. Whine Whine Whine. People laugh at T-baggers. Deal with it.
I do not disagree with that. the word on these forums is used to denigrate others and should not be used in such context when the obvious choice is to say tea party.
For all the complaints from the RW about "PC", they have very sensitive feelings themselves when they so choose.
I'm a little tired of the RW trying to call all the shots on this forum. We can't mention Bush, ever. We can't point out obvious racism without being accused of "playing the race card". We can't call the Tea Partiers by their self-given name, teabaggers. Yet they can use "hussein obama" and we're not supposed to care.

When talking politics - is the reference a group of people of a certain political belief or a sexual act.

just as the use of the n word has no place here. I see Bush mentioned all the time.You can call the tea parities what you like to denigrate a whole group of people by calling them a sexual act , without any reference to their political stand shows much about the character and wishes of the people that use the term.
But what ARE the Facts
what IS the truth
Those are also perceptions
You claim they wont, I think your side refuses to see the truth
Who is right?
Logical Fallacy.
The facts in the discussions can be quantified. We can evaluate their merit.
Your position is one attempting to apply philosophical merit to something that can be measured practically. Philosophical arguments attempt to reason that which can not be quantified.
Who is right is based on the presentation of their position. Yet one can not assess such if one refuses to deal with the content.

Oh, for Pete's sake! "Stick it" has several meanings, too. Should we censor that as well? What about this constant refrain from the Repubs that "we don't want health care 'shoved down our throats' "? I even saw a woman saying that on a TV commercial. Is she making a sexual reference? Anyone so fixated on the sexual meaning of teabaggers has their mind in the gutter.

I'm fairly sure people laugh at you to, by the sound of it.
The word isn't necessary, and hinders debate, instead of promoting it, which would be far more preferable.
Kaitana brings up a valid point though,

These terms all use the same MO as using the term "teabagger", most of the time.

There is no reasonable alternate definition of such. It did not exist before the recent tea party movement as any other meaning , its uses is perfectly clear in its intention. The use of the word is deliberately derogatory.

They all know that gays named one of their sex acts as "teabagging" so it is clear they believe the most foul thing you can say to someone would be to somehow make a connection with gays. Obviously they see "gay" anything as the utimate insult. I believe the lefties would know best if being gay is the worst you can be. I have even seen the gays use the accusation of being gays as an insult.
I decided I will agree with them. It is the worst.

Perhaps, but the tea partiers gave the name to themselves. Also, it is deliberately derogatory to call the POTUS "hussein obama", yet the poster who does that has shown she has no intention of desisting. I'd call it a draw and get over the sexual part of it.
