But seriously folks:

That being the case, gratuitously sliming those who have attended such gatherings (and no, I’m not among them) with crude and odious sexual insinuendoes would seem to be superfluous and counterproductive, and to besmirch their source far more than their target..

They named themselves teabaggers, Sal. Sometimes people like to point and laugh at that.

There’s no shortage of real critcisms to make of them, but I think getting angry at people for occasionally pointing and laughing and them for this is misplaced. Although it can reasonably be called juvenile.
