Shnicks, baby. We both know you're here.

Edit: And then I got high.

I'm not here to cause trouble and I'm not going to get into things here, you can have this forum without my drama, but someone sent me this link so I'll answer.

A) I'm making about 20% less now than I use to. That puts anyone in a bad mood.

B) The statement about me getting a "windfall" related to health care because my pre-condition allows me to take advantage of local doctor at reduced rate really pissed me off. The number of jobs I have not been able to take specifically because of my condition is a very long list. And yes, I am genuinely worried that under Obama care, if I go hiking and come back with a messed up knee, the chances of me paying $45 and getting to see my doctor the next day will be greatly reduced. Maybe I won't have to pay the $45 but if they drop this program because Obamacare is administrating it, who knows what hoops and waiting I will have to go through, long lines and waiting in other countries is unfortunately documented, and I'm genuinely scared. That windfall comment probably pissed me off more than any other comment ever directed at me there. It really demonstrated a complete lack of understanding and blatantly bad assumptions.

C) The tea bagger crap really is getting on my nerves and yes, it most certainly is a double standard. It is far more offensive than "Democrat Party" for which multiple people screamed and complained multiple times when it was used. I was willing to change my habits, specifically check myself, but the bathroom humor is something the left at MacAddict just doesn't want to give up. Yes, that really does piss me off big time. The joke is old and over.

Hell, remember the MILF jokes when the forum switched to MacLife? Notice they went away rather quickly?
Why then does Tea Bagger continue?

With respect to my meds - they are for epilepsy and I am taking them again, given the way the current economy is going I don't think I can survive without a car. Despite the medicine messing with me head, I don't really have a choice. The already crappy bus service here is being further cut, and the small companies that use to hire me to take care of the linux virtual machines (a job easily done from home) just don't have the budget for it, more and more of them are ditching their web presence all together or going to a simple godaddy hosted home page with a phone number on it.

I'll leave you to your regularly scheduled whatever it is you do here.

No.
Tea bagging is a term that started on left blogs.
The movement never used the phrase. Some tea partiers did have crude signs saying they wanted to tea bag Obama - but the movement has always referred to itself as "Tea Party" something - Tea Party Coalition seems to be what most have settled on.

One of the early campaigns was to send tea bags to politicians and hang tea bags on the rear view mirror of the car (people quickly found out that wasn't very smart, the bag would break loose going around turns), and I think that's when the joke started.

I have no idea if fox news used it.
Several media places did use, but media using it doesn't make it correct.

Was there a specific request for me not to use the phrase?
I don't know, but there certainly has been a lot of out of the blue bitching when it has been used.
Here's an example -

"The whole Democrat party laughed at Sarah Palin..." sweet, an article on being honest and they don't use the correct name of a major political party. Which is number ONE on their list, name calling.[/quote]

http://www.maclife.com/forums/post/1624652#p1624652

It wasn't even used on the forum. It was used on a page linked to on the forum, but that was enough to get Jake ticked - and clearly identify it as name calling.

Wow, you guys are really scoring IQ points here.[/quote]
Shick, sometimes democrat is used as an insult, sometimes it is just the word that sounds right.[/quote]
And surprisingly, you don't seem to recognize that we're talking about the instances when it's used as an insult.

"Democrat party" is an insult.[/quote]

There schnicky clearly identified it as an insult.

What makes tea bagger any different, and if it is not different, why is OK for the left to get upset about incorrect usage of a name as name calling and an insult, but when the left does it to the right, we are just suppose to bend over and spread our butt cheeks?

It is most certainly a hypocritical double standard.

jebus... the Victim Parade goes on and on.

Actually, no, it didn't, it started with the teabagger groups shouting from the rooftops that they were going to teabag Washington, by mailing Democrats teabags. Thanks for the persecution complex, though.

1. Schnicky identifying anything as anything is not an argument for or against any other thing
2. Did Schnicky make devote an entire thread to being persecuted for said "insult"
3. Did Schnicky demand a filter changing "Democrat Party" to whatever term he felt was proper?
4. Did Schnicky then e-mail the publisher of the magazine behind the forums to demand it be changed?
5. Did Schnicky also have a signed and sealed letter ready to be sent off?
6. Did Schnicky then start hopping to other message boards to plead his case?

Feel free to be insulted. Just understand that you will be mocked for it. And as far as bending over and spreading your butt cheeks, that's something entirely different than tea bagging, although if that's what you're into more power to you.

T. Goat may have just achieved the highest level of 'crossforum drama reference density' I have ever seen.

He didn't explain anything, he just blathered on with the right-wing talking point lies.

I've not seen him, no. That bad?

pixplzthx?
