[Vision2020] Moscow Tea Party

[a]

As I said before, what ever pleases you. I think that if you were to re-read the post you refer to you'd be hard pressed to find where I "insist" on much of anything at all.
The fact that you and those who share your nature embrace the term suprises me not in the least.

On a side note, does this mean the rules for polite or, failing that, at least less offensive terminology are out the window or is it a case where only you and yours are allowed to set a standard?  I'm at a loss for how "Democrat party," and "BHO" rise to the level of offense when "facist, racist, nazi, homophobes" and "village idiot" when refering to the Republican party and GWB don't.

    Not that I expect that the folks who use the term care but, I and everyone I
    know that was involved with the 15 April gathering find the term "teabagger"
    offensive in the extreme. Of course, I'm fairly certain that was the
    intention, a deliberate attempt by the MSM to reduce millions of concerned
    tax payers to the subject of a sick, ribald joke. 

  Is "millions of concerned taxpayers" a synonym for "a quarter million white right-wingers?" I no longer have the Gary-to-English codebook.

  Incidentally, on the same theme as below: it's likewise amusing for right-wingers to insist on a perverse form of political correctness the moment they're ejected from the halls of power. Sorry, Gary: until you extend the same courtesy to the members of groups you don't agree with (c.f. "Democrat party," "BHO," etc.), you'll always be a teabagger to me.
