Tea Partiers finally admit they want to dip their balls in it
I’ve never been one to call Tea Party members ‘Teabaggers.’ I think slurs like that amplify conflict between people already angry enough at one another. It’s the same reason I avoid phrases like ‘Repubs’ or ‘Dems’ or ‘Libs’ or ‘Cons’ – the shortness seems intended to stick in one’s craw rather than get one’s point across to an audience that possibly isn’t receptive.
But it was funny to see at least one pro-Tea Party guy, David Nussbaum, or is that YouTube user ’since1773′, embrace the ‘Teabagger’ appellation in this video:
Yeah, OK, it’s a little rude to throw a bunch of wet tea bags (i.e. testicles) on a photo of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But I think it’s fair of Tea Party members, a semi-organized political force in this country, to object to the dismissal of their political advocacy as ‘teabagging.’ And I’ll take this kind of expression over the visual violence of painting crosshairs over Congressional districts any day.
Allahpundit of Hot Air, who brought this video to my attention on Twitter, wondered when it would prompt outrage over sexism. To which I replied, “Right, accuse us of dipping our balls in things for a year and then get angry when we actually do.”
And you know what this really made me think of? Louie from MTV’s late, great, ‘The State.’ You know he just ‘WANTS TO DIP HIS BALLS IN IT’:

If american patriots are teabaggers…..then pelosi, reid, obama must be the redcoats….
Let’s not stop here, Michael. If these folks are going to throw “tea bags” around to prove their point, let’s suggest other things they can throw at people, starting with hundreds of crisp, new $100 bills into the bank accounts of every single one of the True/Slant writers. So let’s start referring to them as such, and see what happens. Oh, the wonders of reverse psychology! What do you say about that?
Gosh I wish I cold throw crisp new $100 bills into your bank accounts. I wish I could invite you all up to the Mountain Lair and give everyone a minute in the cash tube, and ask you to wear sweaters that bills will stick to.
