Why does the term teabagger bother people so much? (2 Viewers)

[ReverendHellh0und]

Or an actual sex act where you put said scrotum in partner's mouth.

You seem to know an awful lot about teabagging.

 

[misterman]

You seem to know an awful lot about teabagging.

This is what you're reduced to.

 

[ReverendHellh0und]

This is what you're reduced to.

Really? REALLY? You have used the term over 40 times in a vulgar manner against tea party members like myself and you're offended I made an observation?


Hypocrite much?:lol:

 

[Tucker Case]

I agree somewhat to what you say. However, the "humor" is long gone from the motivations with these posters and has turned into "being a jerk" incivility....

So why let them achieve their obvious goals by letting it bother you?

It's true. The term is no longer funny. It's just incivility. Just like "libtard" or "conservatard". These terms are only being used to denigrate the opposition.

So why give them the "win" by letting it bother you?

And what baffles me the most about it is that Tea Bagger could definitely be spun around to an advantage over the detractors.

The Tea Bagger is in the dominant position in the sexual act it describes. If the "Tea Baggers" are the dominant ones, then that makes the democrats Tea Cuppers by default.

Signs like "Open Wide, Washington. The Tea Baggers are here, and we demand action." could be both humorously derived puns AND they get the political message across without weakening that message. At least that's my take.

To me this should be such a non-issue.

Reacting to their barbs exactly how they want you to is what is damaging the movement, not the barbs themselves.

Ah, I see, so I'm the hypocrite here. Right.

As usual, you're reading your own twisted, self-serving meaning into my words. What I meant was that you are reduced to making lame, petty insults instead of just admitting you were wrong. On top of making up your own new lies to go with them.

I started turning this around slowly, See misterman already got upset when I started.... Testing the waters, if you will.

Again you used the term over 40 times, are you really crying if I apply the same tactics to you? Hyocrite much?



Anyway, well you know a whole lot about "teabagging" and you go around calling others "teabaggers", what does that say about you? :ssst:

 

[misterman]

Again you used the term over 40 times, are you really crying if I apply the same tactics to you?

No, I'm not crying. In fact, I gave you permission to do just that.

I'm just shaking my head in pity at what you're reduced to doing to avoid being a man and admitting you were wrong.

 

[ReverendHellh0und]

No, I'm not crying. In fact, I gave you permission to do just that.

I'm just shaking my head in pity at what you're reduced to doing to avoid being a man and admitting you were wrong.

so when you are using the vulgar term, you are a man, when I make an observation regarding your intimate knowledge of teabagging, I am avoiding being a man?


For shame..... It's a rather pathetic display, your being teabagged all over this thread and you are oblivious...

 

[VanceMack]

Ok. This is an effort to have a serious conversation and not have the thread degrade into petty bickering. (I have my doubts it will happen though).

Conservatives & Libertarians. Why does this word bother you guys so much?

You are right...the term tea-baggers shouldnt bother them...just like being tea-bagged shouldnt bother you.

 

[misterman]

so when you are using the vulgar term, you are a man, when I make an observation regarding your intimate knowledge of teabagging, I am avoiding being a man?

No, when you avoid admitting you were wrong when you called me a liar, you're not a man.

 

[dontworrybehappy]

Are you using the general "you" or the specific "you" (meaning me)?

To be quite honest it wasn't directed at you at all. I just quoted your post, but I was referring to the poster who said that when a friend calls him a redneck its fine but when a yankee does it it pisses him off. I made that post on an ipod which is difficult to use with these forums. Sorry for the confusion.

Ok, you have a point. I still think those who use this term with a snicker are lowering themselves, but ok.

 

[ReverendHellh0und]

No, when you avoid admitting you were wrong when you called me a liar, you're not a man.

Well i guess if i'm the "teabagger" that makes you the? impdaddy:


By default that makes the Good Reverend THE Man. impdaddy:

Is that your version of an apology?

 

[ReverendHellh0und]

You prove nothing oher than that you aRe at the recieving end of us "teabaggers".


There will be no apologee because you proved jack. All you have is lies. :shrug:

I proved the tea partiers called themselves "teabaggers" once.

 

[ReverendHellh0und]

I proved the tea partiers called themselves "teabaggers" once.

You proved one disabled vet held a button and that was your excuse for being teabagged over 40 times. :shrug:

 

[misterman]

You proved one disabled vet held a button

Yep. It only takes one case to disprove a negative assertion. If you claimed that nobody in the world has three eyes, I only have to show you one person with three eyes to prove you wrong too. See how that works?

and that was your excuse for being teabagged over 40 times. :shrug:

That's a lie. You're a liar.

 

[ReverendHellh0und]

I proved the tea partiers called themselves "teabaggers" once.

You claimed that we refer to "ourselves" as "teabaggers", that is lie.


You thought finding some poor old disabled vet to justify your teabagee ways of using "teabagger" was proof that as a movement we refer to ourselves as you claimed....


you FAILED

 

[ReverendHellh0und]

Yep. It only takes one case to disprove a negative assertion. If you claimed that nobody in the world has three eyes, I only have to show you one person with three eyes to prove you wrong too. See how that works?

by your logic, why do you want to shoot and kill US troops?


FAIL

That's a lie. You're a liar.

I'll advise you one time, cease the name calling. I let the 1st time go because I was laughing to hard at you..... now this tantrum over being teabagged of yours is crossing the line. Do not do it again. impdaddy:

That's a lie. You're a liar.

Apparently this "Reverend" person thinks that this retired vet manufactured the "Proud to be a Teabagger" button himself and is the only person who owns and "proudly" wore one.

Fascinating.

:roll:

Prove that he didn't, and that an organized tea party printed and endorsed said button.

19.99 teabagee's can make thier own buttons! :thumbs:

 

[misterman]

You claimed that we refer to "ourselves" as "teabaggers", that is lie.

I didn't say every single one did. Just that they are the ones who started the name. If you thought otherwise, that's your mistake.

The name teabagger was applied by them first, not by their opponents.

 

[misterman]

Apparently this "Reverend" person thinks that this retired vet manufactured the "Proud to be a Teabagger" button himself and is the only person who owns and "proudly" wore one.

Even if he was the only one (which obviously he wasn't), that's enough. It proves that they thought of the term first.
