Oh my... you know nothing about the Boston Tea Party. Sad.


The great thing about this country is that people like you working
with only one functioning neuron are allowed to have an opinion and
openly express it.


It's kind of like watching drunk Old Uncle Harry when he's trying to
molest the nieces and nephews. You ignore him and keep the kids out of
his reach.

The people that participated in the Boston Tea Party weren't called
teabaggers. The term teabagger is a recent invention, and one that
carries a negative stigma, at least for most people. The application
of it to the protesters is an attempt by their opponents to ridicule
them.

To wit: "Only now, the protesters and their organizers are fighting a
battle on two fronts: not only against what they see as a government
gone wild with giveaways; but ridicule for the double meaning of "tea
bagging.""

The original poster knows what the Tea Party was about... he provided
a link to an explanation of it. The double meaning and innuendo
contained in this thread either went over your head, or you're trying
far too hard to be rude.
