No, Sir. As a member from nearly day one, I can tell you that we did not use that term. We held a demonstration that involved sending teabags and dumping tea bags, but we did not use the term teabaggers.

Possibly not your group.

The teabaggers are that party co-opted by the numbnutses in the 'republican' party.

The Tea Party is nearly non-extant, as are it's viewpoints, remembering that the Tea Party and OWS were actually cooperating, and alot alike at their inceptions.

Jeez, Notsweet, if you're going to do a campaign that involves sending and dumping tea bags, I really don't think you can complain if you end up being called 'teabaggers'. I mean, that campaign really does sound a bit looney.

And divisiveness fixes....what? Or is the point not to fix anything, but to have a common enemy?
I wish I could afford that luxury.

The funny thing about that is that program was created under Reagan and reached its present form under Bush II so it would factually be called a Reagan/Bush phone.
It's a shame that some people have so little intelligence that they don't know any better than to spout inacuracies that were promulgated by a youtube video featuring a shrieking and presumably uneducated and ignorant person.
I mean, what does the habit of repeatedly spouting ignorance make oneself?

There ARE no 25 jobs bills.   But as usual they besmirch anyone and everyone who possesses the facts and intellect.

Typical epic fail for the useless and inept 'conservatives'.
