I will never call a Tea Party member a teabagger again

[randr]

From here on out I will only refer to them as Kochroaches.

[cliffordu]

1. I'm thinking you're on to something there.

A perfect nomenclature if I ever heard one.


Or, maybe, 'Teabagging Kochroaches'

If you're not into that whole brevity thing.

3. I had kicked around Teabaggott but decided that would

probably offend some gay people. I was thinking of maggott but realized it might be taken another way.

4. Regressive Kockroaches

[JuniperLea]

I like this!

I've been calling them Regressives for a while... the addition of Kochroach is perfection!

[Oceansaway]

6. kochroaching teabaggers ?..nt

[stuntcat]

7. teabaggers don't even deserve that bad a rap

No matter what they wanna do with their naughty bits it doesn't mean they're as awful as Tea Party members.

[Fozzledick]

8. I still think they're really Tories

Ever notice that they never dress up as Mohawks, like, you know, the REAL Boston Tea Party?

[JHB]

19. Tea Tories

Not to mention the original Boston patriots engaged in an act of property destruction against a powerful and politically connected corporation, destroying the proportional equivalent of millions of dollars of merchandise. An act sufficient to prompt a military crackdown from The Powers That Were.

The baggers are nowhere near that.

9. Republican Kochroaches. n/t

[randr]

10. I should add that I mean no disparity to the roaches

[Fozzledick]

11. Then again , I gotta give props to the guy that named them teabaggers in the first place

I still can't help thinking it was an inside joke by some log cabin Republican in the political consulting firm that the drug and insurance companies paid to create an astro-turf front against health care reform.

[annabanana]

17. naw.. the dunderheads did it themselves.. (until

someone whispered in their crusty stinky ears). .Then they denied they ever said it.

[hootinholler]

32. Might have been, but then there's this

-Hoot

[calimary]

34. O. M. G. !!!!!!!

[Scout]

12. ok, which is it....

is it pronounced cock, or coke, or cook?

enquiring minds want to know!

[hifiguy]

26. Coke as in cocacola. n/t

[Scout]

27. that's what i thought, but wanted to be sure, thanks. n/t

[murielm99]

13. I call them teabaggers all the time.

To their faces.

[Initech]

14. I'll stop calling them teabaggers when they stop calling it Obamacare.

[hfojvt]

15. cookroaches?

I don't get it.

[RegieRocker]

18. Flea Bags

A group of flea bags is a infestation.

[Fire Walk With Me]

20. Kochroaches...I love it. I hope it becomes a meme!

[surrealAmerican]

21. I look forward to the day when ...

... "tea party member" will sound like just as rude an insult as the variants you've suggested.

[Kennah]

22. I still like Koch Whores--as a title not as a service that I patronize

[Scout]

28. +100 n/t

[progressoid]

23. Teabaggin' Kochraoches?

[timtom]

24. Quite clever.

I like it.

[lunatica]

29. I've been calling them the Teabag Party for months

It gets to the crux of the issue nicely and yet, more cleaned up.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

30. They are also Douchebaggers. nt

[damntexdem]

31. Hey, there's no conflict: teabaggers are Kochroaches.

And vice versa.

[applegrove]

33. Brilliant. I'll use that from here on it too.

[femmedem]

35. I'm reminded of the Rwandan massacre, fueled by labelieng people cockroaches.

Much as I applaud raising awareness of the tea party/Koch connection, I think this level of vitriol against political opponents is ugly and potentially dangerous.

[Fire Walk With Me]

36. Kick!

:7

[Skidmore]

37. From all the deleted messages here, I'd say you must have

flushed a few of them out into the open.

[JuniperLea]

38. I'm betting you are spot the heck on! eom

[randr]

40. From the looks of the most recent rally

most of them have already scurried away.

[Odious justice]

39. I prefer to call all of them "Phil"

That way when thay say "My name isn't Phil" I can say "you remind me of my friend Phil. Hes married to my friend Bob. We met at an Obama Rally. You should come to our vegan ranch this weekend- we're doing a fund raiser for planned parenthood. Also we will play rap music."

This usually gets a good response unless they are actually named "Phil".
