So, this is putting your balls in a teacup and pouring boiling water over them? Doesn't sound like a lot of fun. barfo
Anderson Cooper is gay; certainly he's teabagged in his time. I wonder what the hell he meant by that comment?
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. [video=youtube;TqWyNA_dzKA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqWyNA_dzKA[/video]
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.
