Politics "It's hard to talk when you're teabagging."
Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 1:50 PM
Because your mouth is full, Anderson?
1
If you're teabagging, do not talk, do not use your teeth and do not, under any circumstance, sneeze.
6
does he release these ultra-gay soundbytes every now and again on purpose? keeping us on our toes, but never fully coming out. wtf.
7
Saw this in the text at the bottom of the screen: "Is the economy better, or just less worse?"
Is that supposed to make sense?

Teabagging implies that the other person is PASSED OUT.
Didn't any of you go to college? You don't even understand it.
Teabagging is hilarious because it "shames" the person who is asleep or passed out -- they have somebody's nuts dangled over or on top of their face. It cracks everyone up to do it, then you embarass the person when they wake up.
It's pseudo-erotic in that frat boy way

Will someone please dress up like a right wing nutcase (start with Hunter Orange) and convince them that "Felching" refers to welfare fraud and "Snowballing" refers to expressing white pride?
10
@8 some adults who have sex with eachother, rather than just sexually assaulting their frat-boy friends, teabag eachother while awake. turns out having your nuts in someone's mouth feels good.
11
@9 Were I not ethnic, and therefore inherently untrustworthy in the eyes of the right wing nutjobs, I would do this thing you propose.
May I also suggest that you tell them "Donkey Punching" refers to campaigning against Democrats?

Just cuz that's what it means to you doesn't mean that's what it means to most people! When it comes to defining words, majority rules. That's how language works. Sorry. ;)
And. . . WTF? I clearly missed something. I am, nonetheless, amused by Anderson Cooper being adorably delicious as always.

Oddly enough, it looks like David Gergen gets the joke. Of course, he's one of the smarter GOP types who can actually function without the Rove/Hannity talking points inserted rectally. He tries to avoid the term throughout the clip.

Typical leftist media trick to obfuscate genuine grass roots outrage at the onslaught of socialism.
Tea parties are the only way to stop the Marxist homosexual from creating neo-fascist youth brigades.
Read below, a bill to create such brigades PASSED THE HOUSE that will also CURTAIL RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION!!!
---
Is this the change you really voted for? President Obama has only been in office for two months. Now we have HR 1388. The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) with 37 others. The Bill was introduced to the floor of the House of Representatives where both Republicans and Democrats voted 321-105 in favor. Next it goes to the Senate for a vote and then on to President Obama.
This bill’s title is called “Generations Invigorating Volunteeris m and Education” (GIVE). It forms what some are calling “Obama’s Youth Brigade.” Obama’s plan is require anyone receiving school loans and others to serve at least three months as part of the brigade. His goal is one million youth! This has serious Nazi Germany overtones to it.
The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” That means no church attendance or witnessing.
Again, is this what America voted for? Here is part of the HR1388 Bill’s wording:
SEC 1304. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
Section 125 (42 U.S.C. 12575) is amended to read as follows:
SEC. 125. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
(a) Prohibited Activities- A participant in an approved national service position under this subtitle may not engage in the following activities:
(1) Attempting to influence legislation.
(2) Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes.
…
(7) Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.

@16 - Basil is an important character in Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray"... he's not a Lord though. That would be Lord Henry.
Not sure what you're trying to reference there?

That is what's so funny about this video. I mean, I half expect Anderson to get his "filthy mouthed queen" on. But Gergen got the joke instantly.
Hmmmmm....

Dude, you have no rights.
Don't you remember that Patriot Act you passed?
All your rights are belong to us now.

The public helps fund your education with a low interest loan or grant? Give up the time.
The public funds your religious and political activities? No way.

Ok, Lord Basil. It would be nice if you linked to a reputable source, rather than copy-pasting an unattributed fear-mongering slant.
According to OpenCongress, a website run by the non-partisan and non-profit companies the Sunlight Foundation and the Participatory Politics Foundation, HR 1388 has no mandatory service requirement, let alone a one million strong youth brigade:
"In its current form, the legislation does not include a mandate requiring service."
Instead, it increases government funding for senior, veteran, and student volunteers, including a $500 stipend for high school student volunteers to be applied toward college.
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h13…
Section 1304, which has you so up in arms, simply prevents Americorps from distributing government money to those working in religious organizations. Interestingly, it also prohibits the distribution of funds to union organizations or to abortion advocacy groups. It does NOT prevent ANYONE from volunteering a religious setting, witnessing, attending church or expressing their religious views in any way - it simply does not, here, allow them to do so on the government's dime.

Holy dear lord. Please refrain from presenting such radically inaccurate information, especially when it can be so easily disproved.

@8 - I learned the term "teabagging" as something you could do (or have done) on purpose, like, during sex. As in, "I love getting teabagged while I'm jerking off." I also learned it to mean "licking/nibbling/sucking someone else's balls." Maybe other people learned it this way too.

Iam of the opinion that the Nazis (national socialists) were socialists, therefore leftist. The racial/ethnic element does not disqualify them as leftists. Consider the information in the link http://thewwp.blogspot.com/2006/07/10-re…

@27 "I am of the opinion..."
You're wrong.
I mean, you can say anything you want, but it doesn't make it true.
