What would we do, baby, without the Left?
We have to believe that Justine Bateman is just really that out of it, otherwise boy howdy, the lights are on but nobody is home. Can’t tell if she was really this confused about the Tea Party or not … wow.

No one on the right ever called themselves Tea Baggers. That came from the loving Left – see you.
She tried to clean her foot off after she stepped in it, but by then it was too late.

OH HA HA, it was sarcasm. And yes, we remember, you however do not.
That is nothing the movement called itself. TEA = Taxed Enough Already. Maybe you should read more @JustineBateman

Careful, suggesting Justine read something is like some sort of microagression and might get you blocked.

See? Think she’ll block us for writing about her? Heh.
They did? When did they ever use the term? Or did folks take their use of tea party and make a linguistic-play slur at them?

"Teabagger" was used to slur and marginalize Conservatives. Also, it's homophobic as hell to call someone that. @JustineBateman

Wait what? A peaceful, loving, kind-hearted Hollywood “used-to-be” was insensitive in a tweet. GET OUTTA TOWN.
Actually, people started using it derisively, then Tea Party used it ironically. Hip people dig irony. You apparently don't.

Oh but the silly conservatives were too stupid to know … or something.

What I "remember" is folks like you using vulgar term for sex act to describe people whose political views you didn't like.

Exactly. People in the Tea Party weren’t so stupid as to call themselves Tea Baggers, as much as Justine Bateman and her ilk would like to think otherwise. Was she deliberately being obtuse or was this a passive aggressive way to go after conservatives?
