I'm confused about how we've come to the "All (name the party) lie" technique of claiming to support the truth.



I`m confused why you wish to lie by claiming I ever said there was. Did you fail to read the post I replied to ?

It's a pretty standard figure of speech where I come from, but again, perhaps that's cultural. Had I meant to say that YOU had lied, I would have said you, but I don't know you well enough to determine your honesty.

how so?  are you proffering proofs  that only men suck other mens nuts? that it is solely some homosexual activity? (cuz maybe you need to meet some girls I know)  Are you further telling us that the tea party (which is not a party in our US terms) did not at their inception and as a pr bite and iconology liken themselves to those who in Boston had a tea party?   Are you further telling me that those who have drunk tea for these many many centuries, Lipton, Tetley, and the like, do not use bags or balls to strain their tea?

I don't believe that balderdash for a second, it is insincere and an affront to facts and reason.

Status: offline 		Again, this may be a cultural thing, but "teabagger" is a derogatory term used in "jock" circles and is the equivalent of calling "fag."

And I'm not suggesting that the TEA Party didn't use the Boston tea party as a basis and model. I don't recall saying that. But I do know that tea bags are an invention much more recent than the Stamp Act <smile>. And as a member of the TEA Party, I tend to go with what we choose to call ourselves, and not what others may label us--so indeed, we consider ourselves to be a political movement, and the name of that movement is TEA Party.

Again, I'm not at all sure where the hostility comes from, mnottertail.

I seem to remember the teaparty declaring themselves teabaggers before anyone else did. to get upset about it now is disingenuous. and a joke.


Correct as usual:

The evolution of the word 'tea bagger'

...The grassroots movement didn't always consider "tea bagger" a slur: Early Tea Partiers innocently embraced the term...

Feb. 27, 2009
At the first anti-stimulus "New American Tea Party" rally in Washington D.C., a protestor carries a sign reading "Tea Bag the Liberal Dems before they Tea Bag You!!" The Washington Independent's David Weigel calls it "the best sign I saw."

March 2
Americans for Prosperity, an anti-tax group, is one of the first Tea Party organizations to advocate sending tea bags to elected officials to protest the stimulus package. Several other lobby groups follow suit.

April 1
Several Tea Party protest sites encourage readers to "Tea bag the fools in DC." Jay Nordlinger at National Review Online later admits: "Conservatives started [using the term]... but others ran and ran with it."

April 9
Rachel Maddow is the first to mock the Tea Party's use of the phrase on her left-leaning MSNBC show. "Even Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina is getting in on the hot tea-bagging action," she says, stifling laughter. (Watch Rachel Maddow joke about the "tea baggers")

April 13
David Shuster, filling in for liberal commentator Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, also makes fun of the phrase. "While the parties are officially toothless, the tea-baggers are full-throated about their goals," he says. Jeff Poor at the Business and Media Insitute says that the MSNBC comments are "lost in juvenile criticism and ignoring the reason there is discontent from the conservative base"

April 14
Anderson Cooper, on his avowedly non-partisan CNN show, makes a similar crack, but later back-pedals, calling his remark a "stupid, silly, one-line aside" that was not meant to "disparage legitimate protests."

September 10
Badges with the message "Proud to be a Tea Bagger" are still on sale at Tea Party events, according to an article written later in the year.

People lined up supporting the Canadian decision to abolish free speech in favor of letting the government decide what is true.
