| Sen. John Kerry: 'Teabaggers' are 'revved up' |
| 2010-01-19 |
| I'm amazed at how many Democratic politicians are using the word 'teabag' to fire up their constituents. Chuck Schumer proudly called Republican candidate Scott Brown a "far-right teabagger" earlier in the race, and now it appears Sen. Kerry is following suit. "We also see how revved up the tea baggers are at the thought of hijacking health care reform and every chance we have at making progress in Washington." warned Kerry this morning. The vulgar term has become commonplace in the liberal blogosphere and television commentators, in spite of the raised eyebrows amongst conservatives. I think its odd, however, that 'esteemed' Northeastern senators are saying it with pride. |

| #18 Well Shumer and Kerry, just keep running your mouths about "tea baggers" and you will be looking for jobs next time around. The voters don't like this arrogance. As Odgen Nash said: Here's a good rule of thumb: Too clever is dumb. |

| #15 How can that term be used so casually? Surely someone needs to call these people out on their comments. |

| #14 "Perhaps, someone will publicly ask Senator Kerry why he feels comfortable comparing people concerned with out of control government spending with gay strippers slapping their scrotums in the faces of other men." I'd pay good money to see that, DepotGuy! |

| #13 The “Tea Party” movement has exposed the contempt the liberal elite has for the common man like nothing else in recent history. The Progressive’s favorite tactic is to dismiss rather then debate. But traditionally people with the stature of sitting senators have left the vulgar ridicule to their minions and the press. Perhaps, someone will publicly ask Senator Kerry why he feels comfortable comparing people concerned with out of control government spending with gay strippers slapping their scrotums in the faces of other men. |

| #12 Let's see. Teabagging is primarily a homosexual activity. The left loves using this term for name calling. So what has happened? They are calling us all "faggots" without getting in trouble for it. |

| #10 Thats right there mojo, and the self proclaimed clever people who have been slinging this around as an insult are just now starting to realize they had been slamming themselves the whole time. |

| #8 Someone uses that term around me, I try to correct them. IF they are adamant about it, I say "OK, which do you prefer I use with you: a buttbitch or cocksmoking liberal?" That usually drives the point home. |

| #5 From a commenter on the article: I'm a Mother, a Grandmother and Great Grandmother. I finally asked my Daughter in Law what this meant. This statement by Mr. Kerry is so dirty and insulting I can't believe it. A grown man, a respected or should say once respected man and politician I voted for is saying this about me, my family, my friends because we get together to voice that we don't like the direction this President has taken this country and don't like being lied too? And now we're being called a name that is absolutely disgusting? When he and the rest of the party know what this word means? I still can't believe it. To say you've lost me forever is an understatement. Go Scott Brown!!! Pretty much sums it up for me, except I have no great-grandchildren. And yeah, they know what it means. |

| #4 Impressive job with the rouge and lipstick girly man. My money is on Kerry being intimately familiar with the finer points of being teabagged. |

| #3 Yes, Senator, these extremists are getting far more coverage than they should get. It's that vast, right-wing conspiracy again! |
