Even Fox News refers to these protesters as "tea baggers". "See, now is the time for the tea party movement to embrace the "teabag" moniker, for it's that silly slur that helped amp the angst leading to Scott Brown's huge win. Fact is, the phrase "teabag" is a profound symbol of the disconnect between elitist jackasses and the rest of America. Every time an MSNBC host snickered about "tea-bagging," it reminded everyone else that the media won't take you seriously if you reject their liberal assumptions. Plus, the media only likes protestors if they look like protestors: Anti-war T-shirt in place, earnest look on your face. Oh, and don't forget the $200 cushioned, air-bubbled jogging shoes. Plus, if you're going to protest, it better be about crap the media cares about: Saving the planet, no nukes, flat mimosas at brunch. But protesting the lefty expansion of government? That just won't cut it. Anyway, Maddow and her ilk learned a key lesson last night: That calling folks tea-baggers only helps them teabag you. And if you disagree with me, you're probably not a tea-bagger." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583571,00.html
