Teabaggers Have Been Self-Identifying As Teabaggers Since They Started Teabagging
Who used the word "teabagger"-according to Grover Norquist, a slur on par with one of the most offensive words in our language-first? As it turns out, it was the teabaggers themselves. Now you know!
Terrible Person Says Terrible Thing To Score Terrible Political Point
"This remark is the equivalent of using the 'n' word. It shows contempt for middle America, expressed knowingly, contemptuously, on purpose, and with a smirk. It is indefensible to use this word. The president knows what it means, and his people know what it means. The public thought we reached a new low of incivility during the Clinton administration.

A Primer for the Coastal Elite: What Do The Tea Party Folks Want?
Those who watched and mocked the national Tea Parties back in April would find a different bunch of tea partiers today. The truly lunatic fringe of opportunists is now largely gone.

The best part is when Kerik says, "I would say there aren't many cops in the New York City police department, or police officers anywhere in this country, that don't agree with the people that were out there."
The Curse Of Glenn Reynolds?
Oh, meow? LIBERALS are saying that because famous Instapundit blogger Glenn Reynolds says the "Teabagger" anti-tax people are going to impact the 2010 and 2012 elections, it means they will never affect anything ever, because he is wrong about everything. They have a handy list!
