Far left media hacks continue to drop the offensive “teabagger” term to describe conservatives.
Paul Krugman is the latest far left crank to refer to the “teabaggers” in his latest New York Times column:
So, how well will health reform work after it passes?
There’s a part of me that can’t believe I’m asking that question. After all, serious health reform has long seemed like an impossible dream. And it could yet go all wrong.
But the teabaggers have come and gone, as have the cries of “death panels” and the demonstrations by Medicare recipients demanding that the government stay out of health care. And reform is still on track. Right now it looks highly likely that Congress will, indeed, send a health care bill to the president’s desk.
Of course, Krugman knew exactly what he was saying.
Don’t look for a correction.

You can’t call abortionists “Baby Killers” and you must call terrorists “extremists” all for the sake of political correctness. But by all means use obscene sexual references to describe the majority of the US population (including children)

i don’t really care if they call me a teabagger. hell, i’ve been called a racist, a nazi, and unamerican. it doesn’t offend me, because it’s just immature junior high stuff. so they call me names, big deal. who cares?
October 26th, 2009 | 7:17 pm | #6
Waaaaaaaah! Stop calling us mean names! It’s not fair! “Teabagger” is extremely offensive!
*commence 50 posts of comparing the president to mass murdering Communist dictators*
What a joke. Conservatives have no class or sense of humor whatsoever and they’re completely and hilarious hypocritical on top of it. A winning combination for sure.

Obviously Mr. Krugman didn’t see the Gallup poll today that proves, more than ever, America is a center-right nation. Just fine, Mr. Krugman, keep lying to yourself and your readers. You’ll have your clock cleaned by 2010 and wonder “how could this happen?”

They know that “teabagger” is a hot-button for us. Ignore the lame name-calling and press on with the truth. Remember, their tactic is distraction rather than debating the issue.

Sticks and stones. What is the circulation for the Times? Didn’t they just lay off another 100 idiots?

October 26th, 2009 | 7:22 pm | #13
Krugman isn’t into teabaggers.
He’s a dirty sanchez man.
October 26th, 2009 | 7:27 pm | #14
hey, very impressive, we’re not offended, we don’t care! it’s just the usual petty name calling by the left. get over it.
October 26th, 2009 | 7:49 pm | #15
What!? You mean to tell me now that it wasn’t the Boston Teabagging in 1773?
Who would have thought….
October 26th, 2009 | 7:50 pm | #16
This is called “whistling past the graveyard.” Krugman is trying desperately to convince himself that all will be well.
The “teabaggers” have come and gone? On which planet? The Tea Party Express had ads running on KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles. Those ads cost about $50,000 each, and I heard them about 30 times a day for at least a week.
That means the tea-party movement has major-league, serious-as-cancer, history-changing funding. Krugman is trying to convince you that the tea-party movement has dwindled away.
Don’t you believe it.

Conservatives have no class or sense of humor whatsoever and they’re completely and hilarious hypocritical on top of it.
Because it’s classy and humorous for journalists and pundits to describe their opponents as people who enjoy putting their scrotums in other peoples’ mouths. Indeed. The height of class and humor, not to mention integrity, intellectual honesty, and appropriate behavior.
It’s an odd coincidence that those who ditch all standards of decorum also ditch all standards of integrity, honesty, and accomplishment for the man they elected president.
October 26th, 2009 | 7:55 pm | #19
It’s not about taking offense. It’s about journalistic standards. I can’t believe they publish this term knowing what it refers to . What’s next? Obama gives Pelosi pearl necklace on HR 32oo public option?
October 26th, 2009 | 8:18 pm | #20
Maybe the new unhealth bill (kill them when they age) will allow an impovement in Krugman’s brain by transplanting the brain of a piss ant in his head. His intel would shoot up 5,000 %.

I remember this genius writing GW Bush gave the US the worst economy since the Great Depression when the unemployment rate was 3%.

Besides his fellow mental patients, who pays attention to this man? it’s like like the moron Grayson. So desperate for attention they will say anything. No matter how unbalanced it is.
I learned to ignore the crackpots that somehow escaped being sent to belvue. However, it is very enlightening for the rest of the country to see the crazies let it all hang out when they normally wouldn’t know otherwise
October 26th, 2009 | 9:25 pm | #26

October 26th, 2009 | 9:49 pm | #27
I notice all lefties have an intimate knowledge of “teabagging” while the rest of the country has to look up what it means.
October 26th, 2009 | 9:54 pm | #28
Lay of Krugman. His entire approach to economics can best be approximated by the placing of certain genitalia in others mouths, hence the expressed need to find a way to work the homoerotic term into his column.
I mean this in all seriousness; having worked with people like him, they deeply believe that all of economics, philosophy, etc. is no more than relativistic fluff. That their view is fundamentally flawed is immaterial; the view isn’t intended to be consistent or functional. What is intended is an alignment to a specific approach — in a sense, it’s a distorted form of deontology, where one could actually claim that teabagging was the vital economic activity in full seriousness and not be subject to criticism for the problematic nature of the theory.
Krugman could (and probably has) advocate placing rodents in inner cavities as his theory for economic stimulus, ala “awakening America’s great moral cavity” with exclamations to equivalence between the Great Anus and the reprehensible advocacy of the conservative right. As long as whatever theory advocates suppression of the Other (Jew, Negro, White Conservative, insert your favorite other to hate and blame here), his economic theory works. Again, nobody believes this economic crap, and in particular, Krugman. Once you understand that, everything else about progressive economics makes sense.
October 26th, 2009 | 10:00 pm | #29
Somebody call the waaaaambulance! Really, you’re going to let yourselves get worked over weak trash talk like that?
Why don’t you just write Krugman and ask him where exactly have the men who like to put their testicles in other men’s mouths have gone? I mean I see plenty of them all around the country actually, so I’m not sure what he even means.
Stop being a bunch of babies. When they use the term, write whoever uses it and state explicitly testicles in mouth. Don’t let them get away with the euphemism. If they want to talk about balls in the mouth, talk about balls in the mouth. How about suggesting the obvious, like Krugman likes to have balls in his mouth? Fight back instead of acting like a bunch of sissies. Let the lefties be the sissy crybabies. Find some spine people.
October 27th, 2009 | 12:31 am | #30
Yeah, he seems real smug about thwarting the will of so many people, which he marginalizes with a smug, condescending (and vulgar) sweep.
Well, the “teabaggers” haven’t come and gone, and the older people aren’t happy about Medicare being cut.
Methinks he celebrates too soon.
October 27th, 2009 | 12:50 am | #31
Krugman looks like the little weasel that got his butt kicked in school by all the other kids on a daily basis.
October 27th, 2009 | 1:38 am | #32
Well, he can call me teabagger. And apparently he and his ilk are too dumb to realize that this is far bigger than just conservatives.
I’ll call these left wing goons what they are: Nazis.
October 27th, 2009 | 4:48 am | #33
isn’t he the guy that got caught in the men’s room with George Micheal? No wonder he is so fond of “teabagging”.
I wonder how many trips this man has made to the emergency because he had a live hamster stuck up his anus? He certainly knows all the intimate ways of perversion.

The comments are the most interesting part of the post. He gets called to task for his “teabagger” remark from quite a number of self-proclaimed liberals. You can tell that certain liberals are getting fed up with the tactics used by supporters of Obama–they do not want to see people who disagree with Obama’s policies called disparaging, hateful names. I’m encouraged when I see that. People continue to wake up.
Also of note, many, many, many people disagree with Krugman about his positive spin on healthcare. Lots of Massachusetts folks chime in about the disaster of rising costs of healthcare there–mostly thrown onto the backs of the MIDDLE CLASS, which is already struggling. This is at the STATE level.
October 27th, 2009 | 9:01 am | #36
It’s not about nurturing offense at the nastiness hurled by the Krugmans or the Graysons — it’s about pointing out that nastiness is all the Dems have left.
They can’t rebut the principles exercised at the Tea Party (this year’s or the original) so that have to resort to smears. Let the world see it; we will insist that they see it clearly.
October 27th, 2009 | 9:27 am | #37
Why do the gay groups continue to allow a common gay practice (teabagging) to be used as a derogatory term to describe conservatives. The left’s use of this is almost as if they don’t approve of such actions on the part of gays.
October 27th, 2009 | 10:20 am | #38
This is not reform, it it just more tax and spend by the government. Another way to get their hands on our money. Right now a bandage cost $8.00 in an emergency room. Soon it cost $20.00.
October 27th, 2009 | 11:20 am | #39
As others have stated, this is simply a sign of desperation. And it tells me the left is terrified of a unified right. Everyone needs to remember to stay on track. I’m more motivated than ever to keep calling and writing my congresswoman and senators.
Everyone, keep up the good work!
October 27th, 2009 | 11:33 am | #40
The tea party movement is alive and as strong as ever. Conservatism is on the ascendancy. You cannot stop us.
October 27th, 2009 | 2:14 pm | #41
Krugman has no balls. I sent him an email directly some months back and he refuses to debate. Anyone that makes harsh claims but cannot back them up is a slanderous piece of dung. He is harldy a scholar. I do not hold a degree in economics, but should could fix the problem pretty damn quickly. The issue is, Obama does not want to fix the problem. He is “getting even” with the white man. Like it or not, he is racist, proof is in action, words don’t mean squat!
October 27th, 2009 | 2:49 pm | #42
Besides, why would anyone even care about the opinion of anyone that would use such a term. And you wonder why kids get guns and blow other kids away? A bully is a bully, and that is what ALL of you scumbags are. If you have the balls, start the civil war, we will cream your ass(and not in a good way :)
October 27th, 2009 | 3:53 pm | #43
Far left Crank Krugman’s statement that ” The teabaggers have come and gone”, just proves that he is an opinionated idiot who may either be part ostrich OR a past his prime has-been. Bulletin for Krugman…(1) The Tea Party express is currently making its way across the USA again. (2) Who does he think greeted president Obama in Florida last week? (3) New stats show that conservatives are currently the majority in the US. Yes it looks as though it may be time for Krugman to join Charles Gibson in retirement and on the golf course.

There is a Russian proverb: “Eyes are a mirror of soul.”
And another one: “The chance that a person with the face of swindler is not a swindler, is very slim.”
It’s amqazing how certain people, colunists and even Noble Prize bearers precisely corroborate Russian ethnoscience…

I think Krugman has it wrong, he should be wrting about himself and the NYT, their’s is whose time has come and gone.
October 27th, 2009 | 11:55 pm | #47
Krugman is like most liberals, he behaves like an unruly six year old who has learned a new “naughty” word. He just couldn’t wait to try it out.
