What? . . . What?
Teabagging.
If Fox News and their creative staff were going to try and create a "populist reaction to the Obama economic plan," don't you think they could have come up with a better term? You know, one without sexual (if not homosexual) overtones?
And here's another thing that has me scratching my head from time to time:
These "teabagging parties" are the poor protesting higher taxes ... on the rich.
One of the hallmarks of conservative psychology is a need for authority - to have someone to follow or obey. It's a hierarchical meme. But the poor protesting taxes on the rich? It's a level of submissive behavior that strikes me as unsavory, servile, and un-American.
