Note to David Shuster and Anderson Cooper: GET A ROOM
Ever heard of the slang sexual term “teabagging”? In case you haven’t, I’ll spare you the actual copy/paste of the definition – you can just go here and read it. Once you get done with that, click to watch the below video where you’ll see Red Eye’s Greg Gutfield rip CNN’s Anderson Cooper and MSDNC’s David Shuster for the deliberate “teabagging” references they used when discussing the Tea Parties yesterday (via j$):
Fox News provides a mini-recap:
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper interspersed “teabagging” references with analyst David Gergen’s more staid commentary on how Republicans are still “searching for their voice.”
“It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging,” Cooper explained. Gergen laughed, but Cooper kept a straight face.
MSNBC’s David Shuster weaved a tapestry of “Animal House” humor Monday as he filled in for Countdown host Keith Olbermann.
The protests, he explained, amount to “Teabagging day for the right wing and they are going nuts for it.”
He described the parties as simultaneously “full-throated” and “toothless,” and continued: “They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending.” Shuster also noted how the protesters “whipped out” the demonstrations this past weekend.
Anderson’s and the error-prone Shuster’s respective “comments” were both bad, but Shuster’s repeated use of sexual innuendo to describe Tea Party protesters was much worse. These clowns are supposed to be “serious and respected journalists”? Only in the small minds of the power elites both in the mainstream media and at left wing cocktail parties in DC.
I want you to imagine for five seconds the absolute howls of outrage we’d be hearing from the left had the kinds of repugnant comments made by Anderson and Shuster been made about a NOW rally. The cries would be so deafening, that both of them probably would have been kicked to the curb. Let’s not forget that Shuster was suspended for making the remark on air that Hillary Clinton was pimping her daughter during the campaign last year. But the criteria for “edgy” commentary on left-leaning news outlets apparently does not include dissing liberals and their icons. It mostly revolves around disparaging and belittling people that MSM leftists never will understand: conservatives and other average Joes who agree with them on the state of high taxes and federal power in this country.
The contempt shown towards the Tea Party attendees yesterday is unmistakable. And not just by Shuster and Anderson, but also CNN correspondent Susan Roesgen, who got the riot act read to her by Tea Party attendees shortly after her little hit piece was broadcast on CNN. Think she’s being fair and balanced? Watch this report she did back in January on left wing protesters hoping to get a chance to talk to Barack Obama. The differences in portrayal are absolutely undeniable.
But it doesn’t stop with left wing “journalists,” nasty opinion writers like Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi, and bloggers. Members of Congress are getting in on the act as well. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) sneered:
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) blasted “tea party” protests yesterday, labeling the activities “despicable” and shameful.”
“The ‘tea parties’ being held today by groups of right-wing activists, and fueled by FOX News Channel, are an effort to mislead the public about the Obama economic plan that cuts taxes for 95 percent of Americans and creates 3.5 million jobs,” Schakowsky said in a statement.
“It’s despicable that right-wing Republicans would attempt to cheapen a significant, honorable moment of American history with a shameful political stunt,” she added. “Not a single American household or business will be taxed at a higher rate this year. Made to look like a grassroots uprising, this is an Obama bashing party promoted by corporate interests, as well as Republican lobbyists and politicians.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi squeaked:
“What they want is a continuation of the failed economic policies of President George Bush which got us in the situation we are in now. What we want is a new direction. … This [tea party] initiative is funded by the high end — we call call it astroturf, it’s not really a grassroots movement. It’s astroturf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class.”
Sigh. Wrong.
I’m not much for conspiracy theories, but don’t the coordinated attacks coming from lefties in the media, at popular liberal blogs, and in Congress sound suspiciously similar in nature? Hmmm …
Anyway – what does all this mean? I guess it means we’re all supposed to sit back, be quiet, break out our checkbooks, and be “patriotic” by paying high taxes. If you’re a Democrat, however, you can wait until President Obama nominates you for a cabinet position before paying yours.
Edited to add: And for the David Shusters of the world who laughably claimed that conservatives essentially stayed silent over Bush’s bailout push last year: Are you freaking kidding me?

There’s nothing quite as annoying as elitist, sneering condensation from low class, self absorbed twits who couldn’t find their butts with both hands and a GPS device. These same idiots, and their master Obama, didn’t seem to look down their noses so much at the common American citizenry when they were using their whipped up outrage at AIG to push their agenda of seizing control and money from business during bonus-gate.
But pay close attention people, this is exactly how these people view you. Shallow, ignorant, totally lacking in common sense, nevertheless they act exactly like children in primary school, forming cliques to prove to themselves how much better than you they are because Daddy bought them a pink Barbie bracelet and you don’t have one. This is the surest sign of a morally bankrupt person, one who has few if any real accomplishments, and you see it in liberals time and again. Global warming alarmism? Same thing, why, you dumb red necks don’t even believe in global warming! We enlightened people, sipping our latte’s, are all so much better than you because WE let people pull the wool over our eyes and refuse to think for ourselves. Harumph!
What these people fail to realize is just how easily manipulable and weak this all makes them. They are ignorant children, with underdeveloped personalities, and by God, there are an awful lot of them out there. If you manage to convince them that walking off a cliff somehow makes them better than everyone else, they’ll line up to do it and thank you for the privilege.
Naw, just another case of projection would be my guess. Sexual insecurity and all, ya know. Kinda like a tingle up your leg.
And instead of lining them up to walk over a cliff, they’d line US up to walk over the cliff in support of THEIR goals, and convince themselves they were great by doing US a favor.
I was at a Tea Party yesterday in Arlington Texas. It was uplifting and inspiring to find so many people who think like I do. I have never been to a protest as I never felt the need to before. Most of the people there were the same as me. The Tea Party allowed us to stand up and be counted. We got other people to look and think about what is happening in government. I am motivated enough to take the next step and become more active. It does not stop at the Tea Party. We have to attend those boring townhalls and meetings of our local government to make our opinion heard and start taking our government back. THAT WAS THE GOAL OF THE TEA PARTY!!! It worked for me and no amount to ridicule by some “reporter” who is not doing their job will stop me. THIS IS WHAT THEY FEAR MOST.
Thanks for taking on the “tea bagging” explanation. I always have to have that sort of thing explained to me.
Well,that was a little sex education for this lady. Yuck! And they think it’s funny? I wonder if they liked all the Monica jokes, too? (Doubt that)
Gutter humor… the last resort of mindless twits. If you don’t have a ready response based on facts, throw around some innuendo and demean the masses.
Kudos to the Fox gang for showing how crass and arrogant CNN and MSN have become.
And yes, I wonder, Is Anderson Cooper outed?
Barney Frank, as Chairman of the Congressional Banking and Finance Committee GOT US into the housing led banking crisis. He did not excercise his oversite in this position and therefore the Fannie Maes and Freddy Macs of the world allowed home loans for deabeats and BUSH WANTED to review it, BUT as Chairman of the Banking Comm. Barney stonewalled it because one of his lady friends, um, I mean boy friends was second in command at Fannie Mae or Freddy.
Chris Dodd is his counterpart in the Senate …….same verse and same song. Deomcrat CORRUPTION caused this mess. Since when have republicans ever wanted home mortgages for DEADBEAT LOSERS???
Geeez, the public need to get a GOOD education, so they can really understand this stuff. They will not hear it in public schools or from that CNN or NBC network.
Why do all liberals seem to be perverts? It says something about Cooper’s mental and moral state when his thoughts are so preoccupied with his personal sexual fantasies that it affects his job. A self respecting news organization would terminate him immediately- just for being creepy. Fortunately for Cooper, he works for CNN.
