Teaparties? Teabagging?.... what?
 
Can someone explain to me what this whole tea-related fiasco is about?

I keep seeing news stories about tea parties and tea-bagging and it's very confusing. Has the lexicon of HALO finally made it mainstream of is it a happy coincidence?

If you are referring to what I think you are... People here in America seam to be under the impression that if they mail a tea bag to their Representatives in Congress its some how a gesture saying "we dont like what you are doing". They chose a tea bag because it symbolic of the Boston tea party.

I hope the congressman boil all the letters they get in hot water.

sending in a 10 cent teabag is so symbolic of the boston tea party.

Dimnos May 14th, 2009 01:20 PM

Seminal event in the American Revolution. Now people are throwing teabags around to protest higher taxes, largely unaware that the term "teabagging" also refers to a sexual act:

I'm sure MM knows all about the Boston Tea Party. Throwing a Brits tea in the ocean is like burning a dollar in front of a Jew.

Pub Lover May 14th, 2009 02:20 PM

Is Obama taxing tea now? Or is it income? Shouldn't the drunk racists be throwing their income into the harbour to spite the government? Oh wait, they're buying the tea? Nevermind. :rolleyes

Pub Lover May 14th, 2009 02:21 PM

Also, welcome to early April, Steven.

Fathom Zero May 14th, 2009 03:58 PM

This is exactly the same thing that happened those many years ago.

Srsly, this is all very sad business and makes me all the more glad I'm retiring to the middle of nowhere in Spain.

Tadao May 14th, 2009 04:02 PM

Yes, I'm sure the Catholic farmers will not have any silly ideas about things and stuff.

Pub Lover May 14th, 2009 04:07 PM

Spanish Catholic Farmers have Hot, Slutty, Teenage Farmer's Daughters.

Pub Lover May 14th, 2009 04:08 PM

Teenage Farmers?

Tadao May 14th, 2009 04:12 PM

Yeah, and guess what. You are marrying that bitch.

Fathom Zero May 14th, 2009 04:14 PM

No, Spanish desert. Away from any other living being.

Tadao May 14th, 2009 04:16 PM

There is a place that Spanish Catholics aren't?

Fathom Zero May 14th, 2009 04:18 PM

I'll find a place. Really, I can stomach a great many working-class religious folk. Though, I haven't much of a reference for other countries'.

Tadao May 14th, 2009 04:21 PM

I think it's the same everywhere, so go with the 3 w's.

Women

I'm really shocked by the hypocrisy of bush lovers.

kahljorn May 15th, 2009 06:01 AM

what the hell are you talking about geggy?

Geggy May 15th, 2009 06:47 AM

THIS

Dimnos May 15th, 2009 10:47 AM

So just because they are right wing they have to be Bush supporters? Way to jump to conclusions.
