Let me put my spin on the term teabagger.

I think its good, cause thats what the polititions are doing to us, teabagging us. Straight up the you know what.

Anti-OBAMA STICKER   December 28th, 2009 - 3:16 pm

This guy is one of the dumbest on television, of course. And as a liberal he clearly has never heard of the Boston Tea Party. He’ll disappear from the history books. The Tea Party will make history.

Nothing wrong with being a teabagger, you just don’t want to be the person getting teabagged. When all these idiots are out of office come 2010 and 2012 they’ll wish they had been teabagged and not canned.

subjectoftheussa   December 28th, 2009 - 3:17 pm

Actually I take that back, they won’t get canned in 2010 or 2012, those that lose elections will just be moved into cabinet positions and various other federal agencies.

Roger   December 28th, 2009 - 3:18 pm

One more thing. And to that guy from CHICAGO, PBS is an arm of the government propoganda machine.

Gandhi's Fist   December 28th, 2009 - 3:24 pm

The Chicago tribune cannot go out of business fast enough. Tossing out a pseudo intellectual like this as a writer confirms they’re circling the drain. Conservatives are loathe to protest, to see people who’d rather be living productive lives get up and actively go after the socialists who’re wrecking this country does not bode well for the bender and chief. A one term president if ever there was one.

“Teabagging” is what MSNBC’s David Schuster does to Chris Matthews to give him that thrill up his leg. And MSNBC is to the Obama administration what FOX is to the Republican party. Oh, do grow up.

dwightwannabe   December 28th, 2009 - 3:34 pm

Oh for the love OF!

Clancy* is so intellectually bankrupt he can’t even keep his own line of BS straight.

This is the man who claimed the ghost-writer conspiracies (aka Bill Ayers) surrounding Obama’s books have been proven wrong by the preponderance of comparison’s to Obama’s OTHER writing… and then couldn’t name a single “other” writing that wasn’t redacted or sealed once he ran for office.

Clancy, you are a sad, sad man.

*running gag in comment threads on Clancy’s columns.

Page, IMHO one of the most liberal, myopic, in-the-tank, Obama cheerleaders in print media.

Switallas   December 28th, 2009 - 3:39 pm

No, Clarence, Anderson Cooper cast the first stone. Cooper, alone, is responsible for referring to Tea Party members, as teabaggers. Cooper ran with the slur, or was it a freudian slip?

This Arrogant..Lying..Godless..negr@…Liberal Rat….knows he is lying through his teeth everytime he opens his mouth.But he feels emboldened due to the Libs running and ruining our great Nation.

But…we will stand up against Him and Obama ..Reid..Pelosi and the rest of the Communist thieves in GOVT come Nov 2010. The Bl@cks will not stand up because they expect everything free.and because Obama is half Bl@ck. …then again they vote back in convicted felons all the time.

We won’t need them…WE will Take Back America…and put the Constitution back where it belongs and repeal every Rat Democrat bill they have forced on us will out our consent.

Then this Creep can weep and cry how America is bad to all his liberal Elitist “Legends in their own minds” Socialist ..Racist Friends.

America…and they are asking for this voter revolution that is coming in 2010 and beyond!

This slug is a part of the ‘mentally unstable’ Democratzi boot lickers!

This is the absolute worst administration in the history of our nation…including the administration of that other ‘mentally unstable’ Democratzi…Jimmy “the Hamas” Carter!

You are all going home…thank goodness!

If they wanted the name they would have “axed” for it themselves! Here’s another Chicago “genius journalist” attempting to ruffle a feather or two so he can squeeze out a second of recognition. This guy was a “has been” before he was a “has”. How about if we come up with a few names for you!

RogerCotton   December 28th, 2009 - 4:40 pm

We asked for these scumbags to use sexual terms to ridicule us?

Just as idiots like this are asking us to knock them on their asses should they call us these names to our faces?

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   December 28th, 2009 - 4:41 pm

Dear peter c at 4:16 pm…you said…

“The Bl@cks will not stand up because they expect everything free.and because Obama is half Bl@ck. …then again they vote back in convicted felons all the time.”

Please…please…everybody…let us not label all as one just because of their color!

There are millions and millions of Americans, who happen to be black, that do not support Bilderberg Bush-Obama or who have now joined other ‘real’ Americans around our nation who are fighting to remove these ‘mentally unstable’ Democratzi come 2010 and beyond!

We have to distinguish Muslims…as those who are “radical” and those who protect “radical” Islam against those who want to remain peaceful and live peaceful and we have to do with all others too!

Please do not isolate Americans who are truly “American”, and without hyphenation in their description, who want the same as myself…to remove from our government those who are seeking to destroy us!

I am not singling you out…so please do not take it that way…it is just something I read on your comment that I disagree with and want to counterpoint on so that we unite together all Americans in this war we are waging against the enemy within!

United we stand…together we fall!

Never asked to be referred to as Tea Baggers. That vicious derogatory sexual slur was only used on the liberal media: NBC, CNN, CBS, ABC… They used the word gleefully almost hundreds of times per hour. No tea party member would ever refer to themself with such an abhorrent appelation. Liberals now all blame tea party members for forcing liberals to use disgusting sexual terms to refer to people who are essentially tax protestors. Typical liberal thought process is exposed: they are empty suits.

Lynn   December 28th, 2009 - 4:49 pm

I wonder what the real teabaggers think. Do you think it will make feel a little better about themselves or will they be angry with the left for calling the a name associated with the conservatives? Is this the new N word?

Sai Chai   December 28th, 2009 - 5:07 pm

Since most tea comes in bags now rather than packages of loose tea as it did in the days the teabagger movement hopes to emulate, that name works well. Unfortunately, the participants of the movement had no idea that one of the perversions the left so admires had the same name. While we are taking back our country, America, let’s take back our language and the proper names of things at the same time. Tea bags make tea, and gay means happy. Bad is not good; good is good, etc., etc….

There will never be another wh!te president.

TulsaMark   December 28th, 2009 - 5:43 pm

This Chicago Trib columnist is a liar.
The original impetus for the Tea Party movement was a CNBC stock analyst, and
it gathered grass-roots steam from there. It began as civil protest of an oppressive
government, like the Boston Tea Party.
The word tea-bagger is a subtle put-down of the people involved in the movement
because tea-bagger is a word describing a sexual act.

The reason this columnist is a liar is because he knows this, but pretends not to.
And that’s interesting, because he should know all the slights and put-downs
that blacks that have suffered over the years. It would be like someone calling
him a lawn jockey or an Uncle Tom instead of the N-word.
Conservatives don’t like to be called names, just like blacks don’t like it.

KingXerxes   December 28th, 2009 - 8:41 pm

Clarence Page is nothing more than a flag waver for President Obama. He sits on the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune (once a proud conservative newspaper) and with his cohorts write some of the most laughable editorials you’ll ever find. On Christmas Eve the shrinking readership of The Chicago Tribune found out via an editorial that “President Obama wanted a bipartisan effort in health care reform” and that President Obama was just as disgusted with the Senatorial payoffs as everybody else. This was just one of many through out the year.

The Tribune has huge tax problems, and I suspect may be trying to curry favor with The White House in order to receive “special treatment” from taxing authorities. If Page ever had any credibility……….it’s been long gone for quite some time.

Kagiso Edwards   December 28th, 2009 - 8:47 pm

Thanks for getting me even angrier with your BS! NO, ..those who took part in the protests of government misuse, government corruption, in spending money on special interests and using tax money as a political slush fund .. DID NOT ask to be called some vile homosexual sexual practice term .. YOU CALLED US THIS, and we, like anyone normal person, dont like being called something disgusting.. BUTyou have to justify your obscene use of this term somehow through stupidity and hate and the betrayal of our nation’s founding principles which include FREEDOM, RESPONSIBILITY, AND TRUTH AND JUSTICE .Things such a womderful MSM shill would know NOTHING ABOUT!

DA BEARRRS   December 28th, 2009 - 8:58 pm

The Trib and Clarence Page in particular have no credibility whatsoever.

TulsaMark   December 28th, 2009 - 10:24 pm

Mr. Paige knows he’s not being truthful about this issue.
Mr. Paige knows about subtle put-downs, especially as an African-American male.
Mr. Paige chooses to pretend he doesn’t know the difference between the words
tea-partier (reference to the Boston Tea Party), and tea-bagger (a word
depicting a sexual act).

Shame on you, Mr. Paige.
Dishonesty will tank your readership.

muggins   December 28th, 2009 - 10:30 pm

Leave it to the folks an S&MNBC to have even known what teabagging is. I think it is safe to say that 95% of Americans had no clue as to what teabagging was until the “mainstream media” gleefully reported that it was something they practiced regularly.

claspur   December 28th, 2009 - 11:30 pm

If not mistaken, it was Janeene Gerafalo(sp) that first used the term “Teabagging?” on a PMSNBC interview.

The Tea Party movement has noting to do with perverted homosexualism, as the term, Teabagging refers to.

I’m surprised that the Gay community didn’t get PO’d at Gerafalo for that Gay Bashing comment?

sfry   December 28th, 2009 - 11:31 pm

Janeene Garafalo first mentioned Teabagging. That inandofitself is homophobic, in context.

Mhu Cao   December 29th, 2009 - 12:19 am

What do you expect from a Chicago racist hate monger from that intellectually defunct rag, the “Tribune”? He’s using “teabagger” as uppitycode for “my sworn enemy, the white cracker.” He probably smells like a Somalian parasite. I look forward to the day when his ilk push daisies in Yemen.

Democrats are the party of every filthy degenerate like pedophile NAMBLA etc. Transexuals, Sodomites, Communists, Baby-killers, arrogant teens, college whores, atheists, gangstas, discredited scientists, etc. etc. They all feel very at home with Democrats. Theirs is the party of societal degeneration, moral corruption, economic enslavement, appeasement, failed public schools, thug unions, Al Franken, and filthy entertainment. So of course they would find humor in the term “tea-bagging” – they’re minds are like that of an immature middle-school boy that laughs at anything sexual sounding. Indeed, the liberal mind is overflowing with foolishness and perversion, they are truly horrible human beings that never grew up (nor took Economics 101). Their arrogance will be their downfall though.

claspur – don’t have a horse in the race you are referring to, but wouldn’t you suppose that term isn’t gender specific?
We all know that Democrats can try to say whatever they want with impunity, but if reality or anything hurts “Their Ears”, “it’s Racist”.

Annie66, you liberal troll, stop trying to make conservatives look bad, go be a d-bag somewhere else. Conservatives believe God created men equal, freedom of speech, and that everyone should reach their full potential in America. Without conservatives the Civil Rights Act wouldn’t have had a chance. Moreover, it is the Dems that have a KKK member in the House, not Republicans. If you are truly a Republican, please do us a favor and join the racist Democrats – you’ll at least be able to enslave minorities with your useless social programs… it’s the biggest plantation out there.

The leftist always have their head in the gutter, considering their constituency, they should clean up their act. Barney Frank, Al Franken, etc. they act like high school freshman that giggle over a dirty book. I watched as Joy Behar, and her moronic guests, which included Sarah Bernhart, started to poke remarks about Sarah Palins baby. They are sick. Sarah Bernhart, a has been. They can call the Tea Party whatever, appartently they are threatened. They know they backed a loser.

If calling us all teabaggers helps them feel better, than screw it.. If being a teabagger means you love this country and don’t want to see it turn into a socialist state.. then teabag me.

Amen Eileen, enough of the racist stuff.

————————————————————-

First off…….its not ‘racial’ to point out racial aspects of anything….
Second….dont be so ’sensitive’ when it comes to talking about racial issues…..

[Maybe eric holder WAS right when he said we were cowards because we were too scared to discuss racial matters]…..

Well, the ‘thing’ about it is…….the blacks feel the way EEuro was talking about….

the blacks ‘feel’ in their heads and hearts that they ‘own’ this nation now…whether you or Eileen feel this way, they do…and you cant really blame them, because afterall, a group of people that “supposedly” make up 12-13% of the population is the ruling class of the majority………HOW in the hell did we ever get so ignorant, so stupid, so insipid as to think they can do a better job over here versus everywhere else in the world that theyve tried and attempted to govern…

EEuro is absolutely correct when he says these things…….its not just him that feels this way, its alot of other Whites that feel the same way…….myself included…

And we, as White America, has turned on ourselves in an all out journey to ‘absolve’ ourselves/themselves for acts they had nothing to do with….

Most blacks, not all, but most have this mindset of Whitey owes me…..and no matter how much you attempt to be friends or work with alot of blacks, the first thing that goes through their mind is ‘your White, Im black and you “owe” me’….or ‘Im going to see what I can get from this gullible Cracker’…..

EEuro is absolutely correct when he says to bow to the new masters of the USA…….Whites have intentionally given their destiny to the hands of the ‘few’ that profess, throughout this country that they hate Whites and expect Whites to support them through their monies…….

Actually…there is only a small percentage of blacks that have participated in the Tea Partys…eventhough you see them ‘more’ in the crowds, because its easier to spot the pepper grain within the salts….the fact of the matter is that there is not ‘alot’ of blacks involved in this movement…and the ones that are are usually the ones without the ‘chip’ on their shoulders and realize that this country IS the best for blacks, period….

But the percentage is so low that it doesnt even hit the ‘mark’…….

Blacks ARE the new Chosen Masters of this Nation…..period…and its Whites that are slobbering at the idea of ’saving’ the darkman…to bring the darkman up to a level of equality….

Whites are the most gullible group of people that this earth has ever seen….and the blacks know this….

ONE DAY, when the blacks achieve total power…..do not think for one second that you will be treated as good from them as you have treated them….youre foolish to believe they will….

Most blacks in the political arena DO NOT want to assimilate into ‘your’ White-sided-society……..they want to dominate it and transform it into a black mecca………and either you ‘play’ along……..or perish..

AtlasObjectivist   December 30th, 2009 - 2:20 pm
