That description was not even in the dictionary until after it was used in a unkindly way by the liberal media on their talk shows. The current definition was created in 2009 to provide cover and to quell the disgust created by the likes of Olberman, Maddow, and Mathews. In 2009, the Tea Party movement formed to protest new U.S. tax policies, referencing the Boston Tea Party for its name. The appellation "teabagger" emerged, prompting puns by both commentators and protesters based on its sexual connotation.[15][16] The president of the Media Research Center said that jokes made during CNN and MSNBC broadcasts were insulting.[17]

The media, including Olberman & Maddow, RESPONDED to the word "teabagger" being used BY THE TEA PARTY MEMBERS DESCRIBING THEMSELVES.... not the other way around.

If you're insinuating racism, which most Libs reach for when they don't agree with something, there is a black Tea Party... its called the NAACP.
"Arguing with liberals is like playing chess with a pigeon; no matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock out the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it is victorious." - Author Unknown
TeaBaggers show up at a rally with signs saying "GUNS TOMORROW" thinking it's "cute" or at least acceptable. If a group of Blacks showed up at a rally with signs saying "GUNS TOMORROW" , it would be perceived by many as a threat. Why the difference?

1 the formal union of a man and a woman, typically as "RECOGNIZED BY LAW,"
Laws are changed every day, as in California's Prop8.
But the law can never recognize marriage between a man and a man without changing the definition of marriage. That's the point of the argument. Two men can't be "married" to each other. Two women can't be "married" to each other. As the current definition stands.
The left is hell bent on further destroying one of the most important building blocks of society by social re-engineering and redefining the 2000+ year old definition of marriage.
And the" current definition" may be obsolete in a few years.
Words change... Laws change... And some minds change...
