re: #615 Athens Runaway

Morning everyone.

Is anyone else noticing the spread of the “teabagger” meme? CBS News was using it the other day. I know protest rallies aren’t exactly popular around here, but dismissing real Americans with offensive nicknames like that can’t be helpful to the vaunted “rational discourse.”

Well, pretending a completely fabricated, astroturfed and corporate supported ‘movement’ is ‘grassroots’, and encouraging them to scream, tell chant and distrupt townhalls, is also not conducive to democracy or discourse.

The fact that this ‘grass roots movement’ was too dumb to know that teabagging was sexual slang, and too silly to run it through google, is just icing on the cake. So to speak.
