Orrin misses the point
Speaking to St. George TV station KCSG, Sen. Orrin Hatch praised Utah teabaggers for their recent noisy protest of the Obama administration's stimulus plan. I just though it was great to have those tea parties and have the American people excited about something and saying, 'We've had it up to here with federal spending.'It's odd that Orrin is so delighted because the teabaggers at Salt Lake's federal building booed not only Obama, but Utah Republicans Sen. Bob Bennett, Gov. Jon Huntsman and Orrin Hatch. As much as Hatch loves tea bagging, it's probably just as well he didn't show up for any parties.
On the upside, conservative pundit Michelle Malkin sees the roasting of establishment Republicans like Hatch as proof that the tea parties were not racist, redneck rallies, as alleged by many liberals, including actress/comedian Janeane Garofalo, right. ("This is about hating a blac
k man in the White House. This is racism straight up.")Malkin says the teabagger's attacks on counterfeit (and very white) conservatives like Hatch puts the lie to the racism charge:
Reality doesn’t fit Hollywood’s narrative — or left-wing academia’s. Must be lovely to live life immunized from the truth.

ol borin orrin's not smart enough to be offended
Why do you have to keep using such an offensive sexual term to describe this movement? I've seen way too much of insulting the messengers without discussing the message in this debate. It's childish, and it does nothing but harm the other side's credibility.
I agree with Adam. Shouldn't someone look into the use of the word "teabagging" before using it so widely? Especially those that have a tendency to belong to a "conservative" and "morally upstanding" party. The use of teabagging actually detracts from the message and makes for easy low-hanging humorous insults.
Way to go, Republicans!
I love that your article calls Utahns "teabaggers!"
Phenominal!
