I would have asked if this was for real, but on reading the comments on Youtube, my god it's gone so far over some peoples heads it's not even funny... Maybe someone should tell them what it is? Maybe they should have the right to be ashamed (on so many levels regards what this also is about) and let the earth open up and swallow them whole in embarrasment, maybe then they would just go away...

That's been my big question...Do these people know what tea-bagging is? Maybe I'll send them an email and explain. *L*

This has been a constant since the election (not the teabagging, the ridiculous). It's almost fascinating but at the same time very frustrating that a president actually interested in hearing both sides of issues is having to deal with such hostile shenanigans on top of all the actual ISSUES facing the country.

I generally don't read comments on new articles (except local stuff) or youtube because the dominance of ignorance takes chunks out of my faith in humanity but, of course I had to this time. Yep, it was as painful asI expected.
Thank god I come from a liberal family/neighborhood.

I find it amusing that in the political system, the liberals aren't really, because over here I'm more conservative than Labour, and the Lib Dems are a little bewildering at times... Strictly speaking you would label the Conservatives as right wing, Labour as Left Wing and Lib Dems also Left Wing. So you would think that the Republicans would have alot in common with the Conservatives, but we don't like to mix politics and religion, and also they are way too liberal for the Republicans, they are just right of the middle, even more amusing, they are where the Democrats are, Labour are just left of the middle, in some aspects they go right, in many (like being so soft on law it's not even funny) they are left, and Lib Dems are so far to the left that if the US ever had them, they would think the world would end ( ... )

Brief warning: I'm a political geek, prone to ranting and lengthy responses. Please forgive me; It's a compulsion I can't seem to shake ( ... )

**and I thought I was the only one who saw tea bagging as an acceptable form of political expression... hehe

Bahaha! The double meaning has made the rounds of political commentators. Sadly (or most amusing, depending on how you look at it) the...um...tea baggers themselves seem to be unaware of the the less PC slang term involved.

**... "tea bags" as in cups of tea right?

In a sense...As in these things...
