Lib Reporter Says Protesters Were Asking For It When the Media Labeled Them "Teabaggers"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, December 28, 2009, 12:06 PM
The corruption of the state-run media continues…
Liberal Chicago Tribune reporter Clarence Page says old ladies carrying protest signs are “asking for it” when they are called “teabaggers“:
NewsBusters reported:
The bitterness toward the tea party movement continues to go on and on.
Case in point – Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page, who on the Dec. 27 broadcast of “The McLaughlin Group,” deemed it “The Most Defining Political Moment” of 2009, but refused to call it the “tea party.” Instead, he granted the movement the preferred name by the left-leaning cable network MSNBC, the “teabaggers” and somehow devised the notion that the movement “asked for” the derogatory name.
“The backlash movement known as the ‘teabaggers,’ who kind of asked for that name and now they regret it,” Page said.

So he’s asking for it when he gets called racial epithets???
No Man commented:
Invariably, proto-totalitarian thugs and the Obama-worshipping nitwits controlling the state media respond to the truth with ill-conceived insults and lies.
The America-haters, fisters, amateur poseurs and morons that run congress and the White House need this cover or they’d be run out of office.
snewb commented:
Fine. MSNBC can call us teabaggers and we can call them Marxists and Communists.
Ro commented:
I’ve never really understood how it’s derogatory…..
If I’m a “teabagger”, doesn’t that make the left the “teabaggie”?
Lily commented:
Vile man, that Mr. Page.
No Man commented:
“The Most Defining Political Moment” of 2009 was the moment the American people realized the nation cannot survive the half-white/commie/on-the-job trainee in the WH and moronic fisters and thieves running congress.
The Triguy commented:
Good point, Ro! Next time one of my liberal friends refer to me as a teabagger I’ll keep your response in mind. I don’t think they will like it. Perhaps, they won’t even get it!
Just_Saying commented:
Racist!!!

Jean commented:
Clarence Page and the Leftwing Media are asking for it too.
Sanmon commented:
Only a marxist lib would think that constitutional free loving americans would care what words they call us.
We care about the country we have, they only care about transforming this nation into something they cannot define nor agree upon.

Are you kidding? If they know the slang definition of “teabagging”, they’ll love it. To be the recipient of a teabagger just reeks of victimization and libturds live on that sh*t.
Instead, the next time one of them calls you a teabagger, tell them to call you what they want, just get their criminals out of WA.
On second thought, just get some new friends, instead. You really should hang with a better class of people.

The only people deserving of the name “teabaggers” in our political culture are members of the press. Mr. Page sits on the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board – the same one that lied to its readers when describing Rev. Wright’s chuch as a “mainstream Christian church.” Mr. Page and many of his colleagues (John Kass is a notable exception) at the Trib have bad knees from all of the Obama teabagging that they have performed over the years.
In 2004 the Teabagging Tribune sent lawyers to LA in order to obtain the sealed divorce records of an Obama opponent yet they could not travel the 1 1/4 miles from Teabag Tower to the UIC Library to investigate Obama’s record of public administration (that took an east coast conservative who was promptly abused by Obama supporters on WGN Radio following a David Phloufle emergency e-mail).
There really is no way around the fact that the press are teabaggers to Obama.

Well, at least the Tea Parties gave them something to work with. Otherwise, they might would be calling us “doodie-heads.”

Yes we know Clarence Page.

TheTriguy, I posted a response to you that may or may not show up later, the gist of which is that you should ditch the libturds and start hanging out with a better class of people.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I always wondered how it is that all the leftoid drones are so familiar with this term (and most other deviant practices) – and I (as well as most of the Conservatives I know) had to go to the “urban dictionary” to find its meaning.
Leftists seem, though, to be more than passing familiar with these practices.
The Triguy commented:
Auntie,
You’re right. Unfortunately, they’re part of my lovely wife’s bridge group. I guess you can say I inherited them. (Hmm, that sounds familiar.) Anyway, I must act like a gentleman when I’m around them. That’s why I really don’t think they know what it means.
ttr12 commented:
Another lefty sexual deviant comes out of the closet. The man should be spending 15 years in cell block D for his perversion.
It really goes up your a$$ a mile Clarence that so many are protesting pres. Fraud and that democrats are a big part of those protests too.
By the way, blow it out your a$$ Clarence. Deviants such as yourself leftist self don’t deserve a place in decent society. Bet money Clarence is on the “down low”. there is no other logical reason for his mentally incompetant rants
HolyShiiteBatman commented:
What really bothers me about the “Teabagger” comments are not just the disrespect to the average American that participates, but the disrespect to the spirit of what the movement means. The Boston Tea Party is the spirit of the Tea Party movement and taxation (and tyranny) the issue.
I would encourage all of us to call out anyone using the “Teabagger” moniker as being anti-American and make this linkage back to the Boston Tea Party. Even the most leftist schmuck will not be able to defend demeaning what the Boston Tea Party meant to America.

while this is true, the main reason they chose it is becasue they are scared to death at just how big the Tea Party protests are and that Democrats are participating as well. They don’t have a leg to stand on so they resort to school yard bully name calling.
They have plenty of reason to be frightened of how big the Tea party is getting. Insults don’t bother me so much when it is blatently obvious how terrified the big mouth lefty is by saying it. The smell of fear and desperation really makes their “insult” have no sting at all
gus commented:
When LIBTARDS go wild smashing sh!t at Berkeley and at economic summits in Seattle or elsewhere,. when they break glass and throw torches through window and when the throw stuff at Police……………..DOES THE MEDIA CALL THEM DEROGATORY/DISMISSIVE names??
NO.
Why do you think that is?
I’d like to remind you all that Obama was personal friends with a man who blew up buildings, until that man was no longer useful to him.

I wouldn’t count on that. Libturded revisionist history has made criminals, crooks and deviants of our country’s most important people and groups. They have no pride in our history and feel past American(s) aren’t deserving of defense, only contempt.

If that man had said such a thing to my face (and I’m a woman, BTW), all the anger of my being would have been so concentrated on my right hand that I could have done nothing else than to deliver a strong slap to his face… and I fear he would have bled from it.
“Asked for it”… He’s obviously the kind who would say to us, as a nice complement, “You’re getting raped – you might as well enjoy it.”
I will remember his remarks the day his friends are humiliated beyond any redeeming quality.
Max Silverhammer commented:
I don’t care what those morons call me. I neither respect them nor their “opinions.” Page is just one reason I quit the Chicago Tribune years ago. It simply became unreadable.

Clarence Paige forged in the cruciable of the David Blair school of journalism conjoined with a deep tribalism of ethnic poitics and susequent fervor for protecting HIS President has no idea of what most Americans think.His readiness to lash out and be tone deaf to what most Americans want in their President,reflects exactly what this current Cabal is.

The fact that the press uses the term “teabagging” should not be a big surprise, they often project and in the case of Democrats they have taken brown-nosing to the level of “teabagging.”

I doubt many protesters have a clue what a ‘teabagger’ is, but it certainly seems those on the left referring to the tea party protesters do know. The left have their minds in the gutter.

read “The Wilding of Sarah Palin” on American Thinker I believe and then you will fully understand their use of the term teabagger.

Well, nobody should resort to name calling, but then again check the source, that guy is a whiny little bitch with a big vagina…oops, sorry!

Since these libtards were so gracious in calling us Teabaggers, it would be fitting to call them “FISTERS”! Just sayin’

Another example of the left being tollerant and open minded. crush the enemy, they fear the tea party movement and are telling you. They have lost the argument and are just spewing venom. Lock and load it is time for a rat killin.
