Freeper "Kristinn," who posted the Malia Obama thread, tries to ignite outrage over term "teabagger"
First, for those of you who aren't familiar with "Kristinn's" greatest hit:

Free Republic's Kristinn Taylor argued with MSNBC's David Shuster over a thread that was critical of Barack Obama's daughter, Malia. Taylor pointed out how the left and the press were brutal in their treatment of Sarah Palin and her children.

Today, he posted the following:

Obama Uses Crude Gay-Baiting Sexual Slur to Attack Tea Party Protesters
Sunday, November 8, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on Sunday, November 08, 2009 8:09:38 AM by kristinn

Barack Hussein Obama II, used a crude gay-baiting sexual slur to denigrate Tea Party patriots in a talk with House Democrats yesterday on Capitol Hill, reported the New York Times:

According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”

The word 'teabag' is used to describe a sexual practice popular in the homosexual community. Earlier this year as the anti-big government protest movement exploded across the country, liberals in the media first started calling conservative and libertarian protesters organizing under the Tea Party banner, "teabaggers," in a juvenile effort to gay-bait the protesters. Democrats, including now the president of the United States, have also used the slur.

The gay-baiting slur was used with gusto on MSNBC in April by anchors David Shuster and rachel Maddow.


Assorted freep responses:

So to Obama, we are the ‘extremists’, but we are not to call the Fort Hood Islamist barbarian an extremist terrorist...gotcha.

Pray For Our Country!

It CAN be heterosexual. Women can, and do, do this, for their men.

Democrats use filthy street language so often that they don’t even realize how crude and disgusting they are. It’s like living in a swamp to have to listen to them talk. They pollute music, awards shows, talk shows, films and even the White House now.

We're extremists , and the Cambridge police acted stupidly but LETS NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS when Soetoro's co-religionist massacres unarmed military personnel at a processing center.

I never thought I'd see a president that made slick Willie look good.

“The head of the free world, resorts to gutter behavior, sickening. “

Geez.

At a breakfast meeting during the 1997 legislative session, Bullock told Bush he planned to back a bill Bush opposed. “I’m sorry, Governor,” Bullock said, “but I’m going to have to f*#k you on this one.” In front of staff, Bush stood up, grabbed Bullock by the shoulders, pulled him forward, and kissed him. “If you’re going to f*#k me,” Bush said, “you’ll have to kiss me first.”

6. That was my understanding.
If one calls themselves something they shouldn't take offense when other refer to them as such. And make fun of them for calling themselves the stupid name.

3. Could her racism be any more blatant?
"They pollute music, awards shows, talk shows, films and even the White House now."

Who is this "they" she speaks of?? She's a racist pig.

4. I had an argument with someone on FB who claimed this, too
He said that the ol' mean, nasty liberals had first come up with the term "teabagger." So I sent him this link:

http://teabagparty.org/

Pretty much shut him up. :D
