You could have asked one of tea partiers what teabagging was if you were curious. Months before Maddow and Cooper used the term on the air the tea partiers themselves were using the term "tea bag" as a verb.

From February 2009 (less than one month into Obama's term):

The "little bit of crudity" was made public by the tea partiers themselves two months before Maddow even thought of making fun of them for using the term "tea bag" as a verb.

There is no shortage of vulgarity and crudity in either party.

Which one is the teabagger? The one dipping the bag or the one acting as the teacup?

It was still winter when the tea partiers themselves were using the word "tea bag" as a verb. Back in February we have a member of "the tea party movement" saying "let's tea bag the liberal dems, before they tea bag you".

It took over two months of tea partiers calling themselves "teabaggers" before Maddow, Olbermann, and Cooper finally decided to make fun of them for using the term.

The use of the term "tea bag" as a verb was used by the teabaggers themselves for at least two months before Maddow, Olbermann, and Cooper finally decided to make fun of them for using it. See: http://washingtonindependent.com/31868/scenes-fro... which is from February and shows a teabagger saying "Let tea bag the liberal dems, before they tea bag you". There were other gatherings and videos showing teabaggers with bags of tea calling themselves teabaggers as they tossed tea bags into the river.

The Boston Tea Party was in 1773. Tea bags weren't invented until 1903 or 1904. And "teabagging" in the carnal sense was probably much later. Tea Parties are about dumping government taxed tea in the harbor, i.e. protesting government actions. If Maddow, Olbermann or the others prefer to think in sexual terms, well, it's probably nothing new for them. Liberals seem to revel in obscenity these days, even as the decry incivility from conservatives.

All I'd say to them is that "teabagging" in the sense they use it requires special equipment that they don't seem to have.

BTW: The wide awake electorate spoke in the last election. It's a little something they call democracy.

…and you idiots used it as an excuse to do a whole bunch of very stupid things and keep referring to the last election as an excuse to demand we shut up.

Unfortunately, you're too stupid to realize that it's the next election that is important. So do keep throwing "teabagger" and other insults around and keep ignoring the protests.

The parrot can't help it. All it can do is keep squawking teh Narrative and never bother to look anything up… or hope no one bothers to look up exactly what was deployed to Afghanistan vs Iraq or what was actually found in Iraq or anything like that.

The point is to keep squawking things over and over until people believe it without question. It still has an effect these days, though not as much as it did in places where the government had near-complete control over information.

The world is still suffering in the aftermath of his war on terror and strategic errors like pulling main forces out of Afghanistan to save the world from imaginary weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

That would be a surprise to the folks who were deployed in Afghanistan the whole time.

But keep parroting teh Narrative, Polly.
