Sam;

Words have consequences. The word "teabagger" has so few consequences.......

You can argue any misstatement of fact by arguing the truth. That has been politics in this country forever - and both parties are equally guilty of distorting the truth to their favor. But the use of the word "tea bagger" is nothing but a slur on a persons character meant to do nothing other than be insulting. It is disrespectful and as ugly as any word I can think of and I am shocked that liberals here seem to relish in using the term. What - we should be surprised that we have no meaningful discourse when we use such a term to describe each other? No wonder independents are abandoning the ship as if it was loaded with poison.
