Phil,

It is actually the 'Tea Party" movement but the lefties and even news anchors started the disgusting play on words calling the people in the movement teabaggers.

I doubt its that disgusting. I didn't know the secondary meaning until this thread started. I think folks were just looking for short hand, not combing Brit slang for an epithet. And isn't the whole point of a tea party not caring what the Brits think?

Just because you do not know of it doesn't mean it is not so. Especially when one of their targeted demographic is the on-line gamers whom made it term popular.

FQ, do you live under a rock?  This was in all the news when it first started.  Especially when Anderson Cooper and Chrissy Mathews used the term while giggling like school girls!

Oh, give me a break!  Even the Huffington Post understood the meaning (and perpetuated it).

Here's a Wikipedia link to help you understand its significance as well.

Oddly, I don't watch  either. I calledi t quits on cable news (all three networks) when the news stoped and the opion shows came on. Any will do during the day, they all three suck at night. Just give me the news and spare me the egos and opinions. People like it, but I don't know why.

I thought that's who invented "Tea Bagging".

who honestly hadn't heard the term in that context before, but if you can't stand the heat........

Somehow it seems the Conservatives get the worst of it in those "Universities" where debate and intellectual expansion of views is to be encouraged. NOT!!!   Bunch of hypocrites, indoctrinated, Van Jones wannabe's that need to put the bong down and grow up. Just a few bits of recent history, that displays their "openness" and maturity.
