Simple explanation. Blue-collar republican capitalists have followed the erroneous advice that they can make a tidy sum by selling their own brains on the black market.SimuLord said:

Fox news is the best because they offer opposing view points; they even have communists on the shows sometimes. Plus they also talk about stuff that matters unlike MSNBC or the Communist News Network who bash Bush for everything. I'm sure that not a single fox basher knows this, but the top 10 news shows in the USA are all owned by Fox(including reruns). A rerun of "Fox and Friends" in the morning has higher ratings than MSNBC's prime time block, THAT'S EMBARASSING!
Here's what i mean, we all remember when the liberal news crucified Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter for being pregant right? Well a few weeks ago, Joe Biden's daughter did... something bad... I don't what it was because Fox news was mature enough not invade her privacy. Whenever they mentioned what she did, they bleeped it out. You wouldn't hear that on CNN, NBC, or MSNBC because they don't respect ones privacy and since a liberal did the wrong doing, the story is quickly swept under the rug to fuel the brainwashing propaganda machine. Instead it's replaced with a communist ranting about how the world's problems are the conservatives fault somehow. No seriously, i actually watched the whole 10min of his rant and he didn't say one fact. This is why Fox is #1. Q.E.D
Oh i forgot one thing, it's called teabagging because it's reffering the Boston tea party in 1773 that was protesting britain's absurd tax policies. it's not reffering to fps squats in a tdm, jesus christ it's not that hard to figure out. Nor is it a hidden little joke for nazis.
Btw, there were democrats at those events too... But you wouldn't hear that on MSNBC

The hilarious part of this argument is that tea bags didn't exist at the time of the Boston Tea Party. You spooned tea leaves into the teapot and poured hot water over them in order to prepare a pot of tea; what the "Indians" in the Tea Party threw overboard were casks filled with loose leaves.Anonymouse said:
So bagged tea has very little to do with tax protests... and tea-bagging is still a ridiculous term to apply to this juvenile display.

First of all, the derogatory use of the term "tea-bagging" is a heck of a lot older than gamer culture. It's been used to describe a certain sex act for probably about as long as there have been tea bags and people with dirty senses of humor.
Second of all, I find it VERY hard to believe that so many proud Republicans do not know the derogatory meaning of this term. I think they're probably just taking advantage of the fact that it ties in to the Boston Tea Party thing, and that they can still say it on TV because a good deal of soccer moms might not know what it means.
Seriously, I refuse to believe that anyone would make a "Tea Bag Obama" sign and not get the joke.
Mixed feelings about MSNBC's coverage, though. They are not The Daily Show or the Onion. They are supposed to be reporting the news, not goofing around at the expense of their competitor for reading the most AP filings to America.
So I'm laughing, but also a little stunned at what this whole thing really reveals about the country I live in. Woof.

watch the video, its right under the 1st post, the number of references to tea bag as a verb rather than a noun makes something, either an oblivious double entente or an intentional one... either way its a bit ignorant to castigate a post without following the whole thread...Barry93 said:

Fox was just covering what they thought was a historical event. Conversely i can say that all MSNBC did was cover Fox who was covering the rallies. Besides, everyone who criticizes fox doesn't watch fox and takes someone else's word for it. like this guy...
When you can't present facts the next best thing is too call people names and use cliches/metaphors. it's Obama's favorite saying...Nibbles said:
The tea-bag was invented in 1903. The Boston Tea Party occurred in 1773.
How can 'tea-bagging' be a reference to the Boston Tea Party, when at that time tea was prepared in the traditional way, by brewing tea leaves in water?
A reference to the Boston Tea Party would be 'tea-leafing', 'tea-boxing', 'tea-crating' or 'tea-chesting'.
The anachronistic use of the term 'tea-bagging' is as stupid as calling the Spartan blockade of Athens a DoS Attack.

tee hee, it still would of been great if they talking about spooning tea. But their demographic might not have gotten it. Maybe whatever intern suggested it was really wanting to screw with Glen Beck or Hannity.Anton P. Nym said:
