Well, crap, you gotta call ‘em something, and ‘Tea Party Attendees’ takes a while to type out over and over.

They don’t like being called teabaggers.

“Tea-ers” is hard to say and spell. Turns into ‘tears’, no matter how hard you try.

I’ve tried “the People of the Tea”, but it sounds a little formal for daily speech.

“Teepers”. Short for “Tea Partiers”. What’s demeaning? It’s certainly no worse than ‘moonbat’ or ‘wingnut’.

I like “teepers”.
I like it better than “teabaggers”, which I’ve never been comfortable with.
Tea Partiers is OK.
But so is Teepers.
