Carl Palidino, the Tea Bagger, Christian, Conservative

By Bea McManis

I can't help but wonder how many of his followers are going to excuse this behavior as 'normal' and 'okay'.

Teabagger bashing? Are you also going to be at the library friday morning to picket the "Fancy Nancy Tea Party"? I hear a whole lot of tea baggers at this one.

Since first-word of Teabaggers, I've wondered why a group of conservatives would name their political movement after a gay sex act. I get the connection between tea and revolt; it's the bag part. Are they clueless, ironic or naive?

Well see it's ok for people to come up with distasteful titles for things they don't like, Peter. Bea didn't coin the phrase, but that doesn't stop those who disagree with the philosophy to try and denounce a belief with childish names.

They didn't name it that C.M. It was coined after a slip of the tounge by David Gergen, then later propelled by the very left commentaries of Keith Oberman and Anderson Cooper. I know many people who find that offensive.

I find it very offensive and I'm not part of the Tea Party.

Regardless of the labels, the man is scum. To be honest, I didn't realize there was a connection between the term 'teabagger' and a gay sex act.
Call me living a sheltered life.
