Tea Party?

Blu, who really cares? If someone wants to be small minded enough to use a persons misunderstanding of a colloquialism as some kind of personal insult.........let them.

It adds nothing to the discussion and only serves to show that they have nothing of substance to add.:rolleyes

Maybe this is why you have such a poor opinion of conservatives? Not all conservatives listen to or agree with Beck, Rush or any of the other ones.

Hell, the only talk radio I listen to is NPR.:shocker

I don't a poor opinion of conservatives, I have a poor opinion of republicans.
There's a difference. There's conservative principles I do like. Plus I just bought another ayn rand book lol

True. Thanks for the Video. I heard some interesting things about Harding that I never knew. As noted in the video:
Robert Gordon, a Keynesian, admits, “government policy to moderate the depression and speed recovery was minimal. The Federal Reserve authorities were largely passive. … Despite the absence of a stimulative government policy, however, recovery was not long delayed.” Kenneth Weiher, an economic historian, notes, “despite the severity of the contraction, the Fed did not move to use its powers to turn the money supply around and fight the contraction.” He then briskly concedes that “the economy rebounded quickly from the 1920-1921 depression and entered a period of quite vigorous growth.”

Wrong. Tea bagged was coined by tea batters themselves Abd I used to laugh my ass off regularly wgeh glen beck would call himself one for weeks.

Tea bagger entirely self described. Glen beck and Palin actually called themselves tea baggers for quite some time. I heard it daily on his radio show. Rush called them that too. After about a month they suddenly changed it to tea partier. Obviously someone alerted them to it lol

Is this similar to "conservatives all of a sudden give a shit about spending" syndrome? Cause DC is FULL of that shit.
 
OK!

I just scanned 100 pages of thread titles from January, 2009 to near the end of May, 2009.

There were a grand total of 2 threads about the Tea Party.

1) Dale's thread of fail that went nowhere. :p
and 2) This one.

Note in the 2nd thread there are replies indicating that the Tea Party people were, in fact, calling themselves "teabaggers." Yes, I located no media links to that effect, but the fact of the matter is those posts were made contemporaneously with when the Tea Party was originating. Thus they are an excellent indicator that the term WAS used as a self descriptor in the early days.

So it seems the people with the bad memories are the ones saying it never happened.

HTH.

BS. I'm still waiting for someone to back up Kev's original claims. I believe that he believes it to be true, but there is nothing more than his memory to go by. If what he said was true it would be very very easy to prove.
