I don't think anyone has mentioned that the intended implication of the teabaggers' name was to invoke the Founding Fathers' Boston Tea Party; a protest against "taxation without representation" sorta thing. Naturally liberals have been all too willing to co-opt the name knowing the derisive connotation of oral-scrotal sex the term "teabagging" implies.

I can't contest the notion the notion that teabaggers aren't any crazier than Viet Nam protestors of the 60's/70's. Given the time gap they might be exactly the same people. Not sure if teabaggers will be much more effective in stopping Health Care Reform than the hippies were in stopping the Viet Nam war.
