“Teabagger” is the pejorative of choice for left-wing bloggers and an occasional Democratic politician, when trying to vilify supporters of the Tea Party movement. It is a slang term which describes a sexual act.
And it is a term used by Hilda Solis, Secretary of Labor, as reported by Sunshine State News (via Drudge):
With the team behind President Barack Obama targeting the Sunshine State in their bid for a second term in 2012, the White House sent U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis to speak to the Florida Democratic Convention on Saturday….
Solis offered harsh words about conservatives. Looking at 2012, Solis slammed the tea party movement, calling them “teabaggers” and promising the Obama administration will take them on.
Everyone is predicting that 2012 is going to be the nastiest, dirtiest campain season ever. Everyone is right.

This divisive, unAmerican attitude, on the part of people who are supposed to work for all the people of this country, comes from the top down.
He’s still unqualified to run the executive branch, because he still does not understand, or rejects, the fundamentals of our government.
Secretary Solis gave the 2010 commencement address at my college: http://www.dol.gov/_sec/media/speeches/20100608_LACC.htm
Oh, that one was L.A. City. Here’s my college: http://www.dol.gov/_sec/media/speeches/20100526_LBCC.htm
She was making the rounds, I guess, attacking the __baggers.
The more they talk down to the American people, the more desperate they look.
If we are teabaggers….then they are the teabagees. Taste good, Solis????
We are coming for your jobs….2012 will be the year of the teabagger. (teabaggers get their revenge!!!)haha
If Hilda Solis can call people “teabaggers”,
can’t I call her a filthy Communist b!tch…???
I mean, fair is fair…
I suggest a response to the slimy use of “teabagger” by the regime’s stooges. How about us calling them “Obama-felchers”??
Maybe we should call dhims “Wanbaggers” in honor of “Teh Wan” and “only one term”. Or “TehWanBaggers”.
This is just some more of that “civility” Obama was lecturing us about.
Did she call for people to “take those teabagging SOBs out”?
Or did she somehow miss that memo?
She is not the first. And of course, this is yet another example of the hypocrisy and projection of the left. They can spout hate, vile imagery, violence, etc. and even sanction it (OWS comes to mind), but anyone who stands up to them is given a derogatory, vile name to help to de-humanize, ridicule, and destroy them – the “target.” That term was not just a random act of cleverness; it was intentional. JournOListers everywhere are patting themselves on the back for making that slur stick.
And, as usual, the Republicans and the right just let it happen, trying to “rise above the fray” or to keep the MSM from turning the ink gallons toward their sorry person. Where is the outrage that a member of the President’s administration is using such language? Just like when members of Congress and others have used it…..crickets.
Another thing I admire about Herman Cain. He does NOT let the left get away with smear tactics. He responds, he redirects the attack to the attackers. Good man!
From the transripts I have seen -I think he just sits there whilst the host showers crap on him. “The Republican party has not been whatever for hundreds of years to Blacks ” ? (The View )
I am not sure if Reagan had dementia by 86 – but he was certainly sharper in 1980 than Cain is in 2011.
I’m going to take being called a Teabagger like a man. I’m not going to call anyone on the left names, I’m just going to remember it this time next year. And tell everyone I know how I’m going to vote.
hey Hilda: open wide, and get used to the taste.
how you like me now?
see? i live surrounded by lieberals, and can be just as tacky… is this where i get lectured about “civility”?
This was so typical of the BO admin I was tempted to go on a lib blog and report the story by saying, ” Anchor baby calls tea partiers tea baggers.
Then i decided to rise above their filth.
I am still po’d and wonder if my righteousness will help me feel better
OR will I go back and post that?
It’s like grade school all over again. Strange, but I thought adulthood would reveal a more enlightened humanity.
Oh well, I guess we each have our moment of ignorant bliss and then the harshness of reality is revealed in all of its progressive detail.
Obama called for his devotees to “get in their face”. So is Hilda calling for them to get in their “teabags”? Freud might say she is expressing inner submissive thoughts?
Obama is going to “take on” Tea Partyers?? Yea!!! Bring It, Obozo!
I filed a sexual harassment claim with the Dept of Labor over this. Call the Inspector General at 202-693-5100 and file your own.
