Absolutely correct. Tea Baggers named themselves this and used the name proudly until finally deciding the name is derogatory. I believe the name is apt but would happily call them "Ass Baggers" as an alternative.

Absolutely wrong. They always called themselves "tea partiers." There was a particular protest called "Tea Bag the Fools in D.C.," but the term "teabaggers" was coined by their enemies and has NEVER been used by the tea partiers.
The term is juvenile and completely nonsensical. It SOUNDS vaguely insulting, but what does it mean? Does it mean that Tea Partiers run around placing their balls on the faces of sleeping victims? Or does it mean that liberals enjoy being the recipient of a teabagging? Or does it mean "teabag unto others before they teabag unto you"?
And "Ass Bagger"? Considering that many tea partiers are parents and have presumably changed a lot of diapers, I suppose the term is accurate. But why turn it into an insult? Do enlightened people eschew diapers as harmful to the environment, and make their kids use a litter box?
I've noticed that liberals have a knack for assembling a string of words that SOUNDS like an argument, but when you analyze it, they didn't actually say anything. They use words in the same manner that monkeys use poo, as a projectile. Perhaps this explains their fixation with bodily functions.
