So President Obama wrote a personal letter to a teabagger who complained about Obamacare. In it, Obama wrote that he appreciated his "concern about the toxic political environment right now." Obama continued:

I do have to challenge you, though, on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me has been “targeted and ridiculed” or that I have “made fun” of tea-baggers.

So teabaggers are all upset, because how dare President Obama refer to teabaggers as "tea-baggers?" Of all the disrespectful ways to refer to a group that has only ever treated President Obama with the utmost respect! Anyway, it turns out that Obama was just referring to teabaggers in the same language that the teabagger himself referred to teabaggers. Here's the pertinent quote from the letter the teabagger sent: "I watched you make fun of tea baggers and your press secretary make fun of Ms. [Sarah] Palin which was especially beneath the dignity of the White House." What an outrage, that the busiest man in the world took the time to handwrite a reply to an antagonistic letter-writer that used the man's own language! Outrageous! Or not.

There is, of course, a real reason to be outraged in all this. You simply do not spell "teabagger" with a hyphen or a space in between the words "tea" and "bagger." You should only ever refer to them as "teabaggers." All one word. It's cleaner.
