New Tone: Arizona House Democrats Use "Teabagger" on Official Facebook Page

The tea partiers are the ones who started out calling themselves "tea baggers." Liberals guffawed because they knew the street meaning of the term, and now you folks have Orwelled it into something to blame on the liberals.

But I absolutely LOVED vonryan's comment that the term didn't apply to conservatives. It was funny enough when Ahmadinejad said there were no gays in Iran. Now vonryansexpress is telling us that conservatives aren't gay!

(Meet you in the airport men's room in an hour, OK, vonryan?)

We don't want to hear about your perverted sexual proclivities vlad.

That's what all the liberals say. However, it was a CNN news reporter that coined the term, on the air no less. OF course it would be a gay man who knew what the term really meant

In their panting rush to demean Az. Republicans and members of the state's tea-parties the Az. Dems have instead revealed their own economic ignorance, as usual. Giving movie production companies tax-credits will encourage the use of Arizona and Arizonans to produce their product. This means hiring people for various jobs and money distributed throughout the state's economy through hotels, restaurants, etc., etc.. And i suppose that Az. Dems are ignorant of the fact that there is at least one large gun manufacturer in their own state which makes firearms, some of which are based on the Colt designs, two of which i have purchased. Firearms production is a skilled job which pays good wages. So you see, Az. Dems and your fellow lefties...

Oh Good, the Pariotic Liberal is back. Of course he doesn't object to Arizona Dems calling members of the various Tea Parties a name relating to a sex act between gentlemen...as i told him before; like water, he always looks to sink to his lowest depth.

I think the Democrats should now be known as "fleebaggers". Do you really want to elect a party that flees the state on taxpayer's time every time it doesn't get it's own way? Imagine if the Republicans did that when Dems were ramming through Obamacare with "reconciliation" which was only supposed to be used for budget bills, not legislation.

As my daughter would say "That is so ghetto!".

once again, democrats prove they are perverts. how much proof is necessary?

Such vitriolic hate filled animosity and violence, is all to prevalent, inherent, and evidenced, in
these Anti-American, radical far leftwing Liberal Socialist Marxist obamacratic Politicians and Public Union thugs...

Considering the importance to liberals to promote the use of condoms even among elementary school children, if conservatives are to be called "teabaggers" wouldn't it be proper to call liberals "scumbaggers"?

One day soon, Tea Party Patriots and union goons will meet in the street and worlds will collide.

Game on.

union goons will lose. I'm giving 7-1 odds.

Unions need to get used to loosing. I still would take that bet even at 7-1

As they would say back in the old hood"I got your teabaggers hanging ,baby!" and then the fight would start.The left is desperate,they are flailing and pushing for violence and it is coming whether we like it or not. Prepare yourself.

Dems know the term teabaggers is negative and deragatory and they use it that way, but they only worry about what comes out of other peoples mouths and not their own. Kind of bass-akwards don't you think?

Liberal Progressive democraps are not worth spitting on!

poopy diapers

why would a marxist like you object to anything the party that opwns your soul does.

The term useful idiot apllies appropriately to idiots like you who are more then willing top prostrate themselves before your messiah, the fraud posing as president

what are you going to do if hussein care is passed and your doctor wife finds she is now a govt employee, working at a determined salary, and tasking care of the mandated patients the govt tells her she must attend

you love big intrusive govt because losers like you fully believe socialism is preferable to to our free enterprise republic

what are you so afraid of, tommie t?

nothing as far as you are concerned marxist

This is Frank from the UK.

I see Obama's call for civility in public discourse is going really well!

Oh yeah, so well that liberal progressive democraps can call anyone anything, use any reference to Hilter and deathcamps and conservative republicans cannot even talk about policies that are against liberal thinking at the moment. That's civil intercourse, Bloke!

"so well that liberal progressive democraps can call anyone anything, use any reference to Hilter and deathcamps and conservative republicans cannot even talk about policies that are against liberal thinking at the moment. "

Fox president Roger Ailes said that NPR was "a bunch of Nazis." Everybody said, "Oh, you know that Roger!"

And NPR fund-raiser called the tea parties "racist" and two top NPR executives are gone within hours.

3 blogging nicknames I picked up today: "lamestream media," "spendocrats," and "Pres. Obeyme" ;)
Thank God it's still a free country, though only He knows how much longer. If Obeyme martyrs me, I'll get rewarded by his Boss, and Pres. will get his just desserts too, in the end. God has the last laugh and the last word. And He wants everyone to choose Him?, not eternal separation, even B.O.

They're not obeying Obeyme's calls for civility not vitriol....but long-time habits are hard to break, and his exhortations were directed toward patriotic Americans not communists, anyway, I realize.

Once again, the democrats have proven to be the childish, incredibly immature dolts they are. Good thing the adults are present and tking care of business. As they have just done the work for the people in the state of Wisconsin. The children have fled in that state and shown their true colors. Fascinating, all the events around the country exposing the true nature of these cowardly little children.

sadly schoolyard bullies have Gov. Walker weakening, now offering unlimited pay bargaining, though father of U.S. socialism FDR said public should never have unions or bargaining since would raise taxes and compete w/ elected govt...as we see it has. Support the strongest grassroots League of American Voters trying to fight the tide of B.O./Big Union dollars pouring into WI against bringing back balance!

Using 'teabagger' as a pejorative is just evidence that liberals too believe that homosexual behavior is aberrant.

wow..Russ in OR
way to stretch...

caught in the act! haha

Classy is..as classy does

keeping it classy--whatever. Teapartiers have been given way too much respect, imho. Just the stupid presumption that they have anything to do with the Founders and their appeal against taxation without representation is stomach-turning. So they get called a bad name. Oh boo hoo.

...no such thing as a patriotic liberal...

it's still a free country for him to think so...but not for long, if his numbers grow. statistics encourage me, though, that Americans are waking up...hopefully it's not too late

I don't know what teabagger is supposed to represent, thank God! - and I don't care to know.

But I know it's derogatory, because the demons that inhabit the empty souls of these filthy liberal trolls keep slinging it about like their feces.

...it's a liberal thing...

...slinging feces that is...

I don't particularly care anymore, I've seen plenty of name calling on every political site and blog I visit, be it liberal, libertarian, conservative, or anarchist.

AMEN TO THAT!

Name-calling has never affected my strong self-esteem since kindergarten, but since it influences decision-makers affecting all of us, we should at least protest & try to plug every hole in the dam (no pun intended ;)

Re: The "Teabagger" Handle

The left continues to think they are being cute and perpetually irritating by calling mainstream Americans "teabaggers." Yes, we all know that it can be a derogatory reference but I don't see a lot of those who openly support the Tea Party movement taking personal offense. Rather, they properly point out the hypocrisy of the left for intentionally being offensive as they falsely accuse conservatives of doing the same.

So insult away oh-foul-mouthed, foul-minded liberal hypocrites. I know you think you're effective but it is just one more example of the decadent perverted thinking that infects the liberal mind.

AND THAT'S WHAT I MEAN ABOUT "THIN SKINNED!!!!!"

LOL!!!

AND THAT'S WHAT I MEAN ABOUT "THIN SKINNED!!!!!"

LOL!!!

I thought that's what we were supposed to call them. Didn't they take tea bags to D.C. and start the Tea Party with them? And I remember the lady who wore the tea bag earings. Hey, wear it proud. What's the big deal?

If that's really your name, HT III, it's a very cool one. And yes, i tried to make that point above too--I'm a PROUD TEA BAGGER! Schoolyard name-calling bullies never affected me, but I grieve for those they wound

Yes there is a new tone; do you here conservatives and the GOP screaming "apocalypse" every five seconds during the budget fight? NO. Has the GOP completely abandoned the "Hitler" meme? YES. It seemed all it took was them getting back the house and then they ratcheted back the rhetoric. I mean now the GOP and their shills are playing the PC game and its really cracking me up!

You hardly ever hear the words socialism or "bill ayers" on Capitol Hill anymore. I think the GOP leadership has in fact learned that they better play nice and boy are they.

Even today when their insipid budget was shot down in the senate cool heads prevailed.

Now the only people harping over the new tone are bloggers with little else to do or report-I guess...

So Val, if we cannot cut funding for the cowboy fest, what can we cut? Or shall we just invite some Chinese cowboys since they'll own it anyway? Cooler heads? Barry feels cutting one day of deficit spending for the next 6 months is a cooler head? Sounds more like an empty head. We're broke. What part of that don't you all understand? Or better yet, what is the solution? Print more? Borrow more?

Speaking of Aryes, what was he up to in Egypt earlier this year?

NOTW

Here's my list for budget cuts:

- Scaling back military bases around the world
- Scaling back Foreign Aid projects
- Scaling back Corporate Welfare programs like Farm Subsidies and the US Export/Import Bank.

- Reducing level of Legal Immigration into our country from 1.1 million to only those who have needed job skills.

I hope NPR funding gets completely eliminated just so there can be discussions about budget cuts of substance.

"teabagger" as a sexual reference, is a derogation that is kinda useless vis a vis conservatives because it's slang for something the gays do in their sex acts apparently.

Weird that the left wants to insult conservatives by mocking their 'fellows' in the gay groupings.

Just self-hate and dumb rolled up together.

and nobody rolls the two together better than valerie

Excellent point, VRE. Excellent.
