In their defense, we probably would have learned what their valid point is by now if the biased liberal media hadn’t been so obsessed with unfairly smearing them as hateful racists by showing pictures of signs they were holding.
It was funny the first 1,547,821 times. It’s getting just a wee bit old now.
Signed,
Uninformed simpleton.
I didn’t mean it to mean that either.
It’s funny because it’s a self-inflicted wound.
Watchout, or the Czars willgetcha!
Okay, how about “Simple minded motherfuckers” instead?
This is, I think, the key point. As an insult applied by some people to others, What the…!!! micght actually have a point. But the term was self-selected by its partisans to be reminiscent of the Boston Tea Party – admittedly, in ignorance of its salacious meaning.
In contradistinction, the insults he throws around in the OP are direct slams of individuals for their sexulity, not related to their political views except tangentially.
Which makes his rant a bit of douchebaggery, IMO.
Odd, I’d always heard “born” as “boned” and the chorus as “your mother’s a ho.” Probably time to change the filter.
I prefer “crack-snacker” to “rug-muncher”, it’s still fresh (to me at least).
And I also would like to know who “Big Sis” is.
Napolitano is Big Sis (in the teabagger world).
Is she just suspected to be gay (I can’t imagine why), or is she actually out?
This came up on This Week with George Stephanopolis today. Katrina vanden Houven kept using “teabagger” and finally Tucker Carlson got visibly frustrated and said “what does that even mean, anyway”. Anything that pisses off Tucker Carlson isn’t all bad in my book.
At the very least she’s not out (fantastic unintentional joke at the end) and I think she outright denied it when she ran for Governor of Arizona.
Agreed. Some Tea Partiers (if that name is any better) are good people, and some are smart people, but none are both.
And Charlie Crist (R) ignored the question when he ran for governor of Florida – and, believe it or not, nobody made an issue of it very much, nor does it appear likely anyone will in the coming Senate race. But everybody knows. Despite his recent marriage, everybody knows.
Come to think of, nobody made much of an issue of it, either, in connection with Condi Rice or Janet Reno. But everybody knows.
As far as explaining the origins of the term: to “teabag”. Today, Bret Favre and the Vikings gave the odious and loathsome Dallas Cowpatties a jolly good rogering, as Favre continues to demonstrate the wonders of redemption. In the final minutes, the score stood at a hilarious 26 to 3, and most sensible teams would have simply coasted to final minutes, secure in victory.
Favre, of course, could not resist the urge to drop one more touchdown pass into eager hands, making the score an abjectly humiliating 33-3.
That’s “teabagging”.
Having lived amongst them, I’ve no doubt that Minnesotans, by and large, would not approve of such, except when richly deserved and as a lesson in moral rectitude.
I heard plenty of people trying to smear both women as closet lesbians. Not national, public people, but plenty of regular folks.
The funny thing is, I was listening to the KFAN call-in show after the game, and a number of Vikings fans actually were calling in and expressing mild disapproval, “It was a nice win and all, but geez, we didn’t have to rub it in like that.”
You’d never hear callers like that in Philly, or New York (or Dallas, for that matter). Only Minnesota fans would feel bad about running up a score.
Taken in the Valley of the (ho-ho-ho) blue giant, no doubt.
