Uh, okay, but I have no idea what that means.

So, this is putting your balls in a teacup and pouring boiling water over them? Doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

Anderson Cooper is gay; certainly he's teabagged in his time. I wonder what the hell he meant by that comment?
 
WTF? That is great... I was expecting some Howard Stern listener to say that, not Ken.
 
Anderson Cooper is one of the liberal elite. He can't quite understand why ordinary Americans are so upset about Obama's big government agenda, and he's frightened by this grassroots movement that is spreading across the country, so he resorts to vulgar jokes about "teabagging.'

This, ladies and gentleman, is our professional and very mature national media.
 
Seriously, can someone explain to me what he means? He can't be intimating that these people are so busy gargling the Bush Administration's balls that they barely have time to speak. That's what occurred to me, but that's such an outrageous thing to say, I can't imagine that someone as controlled as Anderson Cooper would say it.

Since I'm clearly wrong, can someone spell it out to me? I'm not being ironical, I'm completely serious.
 
CNN has been the term "teabaggers" as a negatory term for the tax-day protesters. Its quite disgusting for a news organziation to do.

I believe MSNBC went further.
 
From Red Eye (probably the only show on Fox I watch) with a good breakdown of what's up.

People are mailing tea bags to the White House and to Congress to protest spending. It started out as a "Tea Party," but the inevitable renaming didn't take long.

I understand your puzzlement. As hard as it is to believe, Anderson Cooper was making a very crude and very vulgar joke at the expense of the Tea Party folks. It's the kind of comment you'd expect from a 10-year-old, but there you go . . .

That's stunning. Absolutely stunning. I would laugh at that report if it were an SNL sketch or something on the Colbert Report, but they're pretending to be a news reporting organization. If you're Brian Williams or Tom Brokaw (who still does special features for NBC), how can you not decry this sort of thing? The "MS" in the name still doesn't remove the "NBC". Seriously, would Tim Russert have stood for this? Tim Russert would have called New York and told them to take him off of MSNBC.

Maxiep, don't you get it? The media is in bed with Obama, and they have been from Day One. They will go down fighting for this guy and everything he represents, journalistic ethics be damned. "The cause" is what's important, and these guys have been trying to advance the liberal cause for a long, long time.
 
Gutfeld went off again last night. good shit. I guess from all the "rallies" (i.e. protests, there was only 1 arrest).
 
It would seem to me (speaking hypothetically of course because I've never actually participated in a teabagging in any way) that the one doing the teabagging isn't the one who would difficulty speaking. Maybe Anderson Cooper prefers to be the teabaggee?

I suppose that either person could be "tea bagging," but the whole thing is obscene. No wonder no one watches MSNBC. It's like a frathouse.

If there were a gay rights rally that they referred to as a "Tea Party" and ANYONE referred to them as "teabaggers", those news organizations would be called every name in the book by MSNBC and CNN. I guess the double standard is alive and well.
 
That guy on MSNBC (I like MSNBC) tried too hard to do the innuendos. The potty humor gets old.

What bothered me was the disdain with which these people were treated by a supposedly unbiased media. I guess in 2009 America, some animals are more equal than others.

The interesting thing here is, there were groups of protesters that the more conservative news outlets (FOX news, and the guests on their shows), treated like they were unAmerican because they didn't agree with a more conservative mindset.

I don't recall many people on the right being all that upset about it.

While I do like what Lawrence (I forgot if that is his first name or last name) was pointing out that the people who are complaining about the taxes are most likely to pay less under Obama's plan and they're bitching about the Bush current tax structure, it was lost in the initial "haha, I came up with 3 different ways to say penis on TV" work of Shuster.

Lawrence at didn't (at least, in that clip) resort to childish comments. I personally don't watch it when Shuster hosts (although I haven't actually watched Countdown in about 4 months now). He's just a 4th rate host. He's the same guy who did the "the Clintons are prostituting" (or whatever it was) Chelsea comment.

Had that been someone on Fox (or CNN), I'm sure MSNBC would've called for his resignation, etc. Even if you agree'd with it (as I did, actually. They were using her, and acted like she was off limits for questions), it wasn't a smart thing to say on the air.

This is what I don't get. Why does it matter if you're going to pay less in taxes? Why does it matter if some local jurisdiction is going to get "stimulus" money that may benefit you in some way? The country--already spending at an unsustainable pace--is going even more deeply into debt, and it's debt that my generation can't hope to begin to pay off. Instead, we leave it for our kids. Frankly, I have a tough time looking at my son and telling him he's responsible for making sure my life is easier at the expense of making him poorer.

Government does too many things and only does a couple of them well. They are dramatically more inefficient than the private sector and once the Government starts a program, good luck trying to end it. Yet, this is the model we're going to use going forward? It's about freedom and liberty, and the Federal Government is encroaching dangerously on both.
