I really can't believe Tea Baggers are upset by the name, Let's say you are a Tea Party member and someone calls you a Tea Bagger, if you are upset by this I would assume that you think of being on the receiving end of a tea bagging. If you have pride in your new party and someone calls you a Tea Bagger so what, you don't see yourself as a victim of tea bagging but the perpetrator of tea bagging. Only members with an inferiorty complex would take the term "tea bagger", as derogatory comment... Which pretty much sums up ones thoughts on its party.
I bet you would be surpirsed why black do not like the n word.

Your post makes no practical sense and it is one to which attempts to rationalize the use of such to justify your claim. It is an ignorant process of reasoning, void of any intelligent conclusions and follows a line of reasoning that is dismissive and inflammatory. It serves no purpose other than to incite emotional reaction while you avoid dealing with the content of discussion itself.
Well when you post th scoreboard then I will say i used the temr more than anyone.Also post the scoreboard on those using denigrating term for the tea party movement
They did? You come to this conclusion based on what? The Tea Party is named after our history and the relevance of it to issues in objection currently.
As for others using like derogatory comments, is that justification for you doing such? Seems more to the level of an excuse than a proper reason?
I do not use these words, I do not call people cute pet names and apply stupid references as they detract from the issue. So, we will not call it a draw as I am not of merit to receive such condemnation. So when others use that term to describe me, they are doing such without proper reason, without justification and it displays them as insulting, ignorant, immature people.
See post #45. I don't use most of those words, either. But I believe the only conservative on this forum who has ever called out a poster for using "hussein", Barry Soetoro, etc, is Chatteress. The rest all either condone it, excuse it, or give it tacit approval.
Whatever your personal opinions of the word "Teabagger" is, it DOES hinder debate, as seen in many a thread on here. Now, the tone coming from the opposition is often just as bad, but that's no reason to behave like a child, you are responsible for yourself, not others.
Actually there is a reason to dish it back. Liberals thought for many years that the best approach was to stay above the fray. That has cost them too many elections. We now subscribe to the theory of the fictional character, Jimmy Malone, "He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue!" The t-baggers are a fountain of insulting slogans and names. When they stop, I'll stop.

Actually the fact that it irritates them is reason enough. I've never met a t-bagger who had sufficient command of economics that in intelligent discussion was possible. As I said they are the embodiment of Sarah Palin. Great slogans and nothing else.

Blacks call eachother that all the time, its only when whites say it is it a problem. So if one Tea party member calls another one tea bagger it must be O.K. Now your talking about some people can offend and some people can't. I can't be offended by the N word remember, sticks and stones

Post #45 lays claim to such, but I see no validation to their claim. /shrug
As for others using it, I don't approve of such and I have let it be known in threads where it was key to the topic.

The only thing the "t-party" has to do with our history is attempting to hi-jack it for their own selfish purposes.
The colonists objection to the British tax, was they felt that it was against their rights, to be taxed by those other then their elected representatives.
We still have elections. We still elected our representatives. No taxes from off shore on the citizens.
So the "t-party" does not have anything to do with our history.
Unless you consider a bunch of whinny, ugly Americans as a main feature of our history.
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?
The "reality is just a concept" argument?
