Panda you and RML are arguing that because an anonomous old man has that slogan, it represents the leadership of the movement, right??

that it is proper for news anchors to snicker and insult the movement, because an old man has a pin.

that a few protestors said something, it represents the movement and has some sort of relevance right?

Or are you arguing something else?

If something else please explain

What is being argued is that the tea party movement called themselves teabaggers initially, ignorant of the meaning of the term, and the networks only reported it.

You want to portray it as one old man, but it was not.

As I said before he did not make that badge himself, nor was there only one sign or one person that referred to themselves as that.

Then when they got laughed at suddenly it was not the teabaggers themselves who had used that expression but another example of liberal media bias.

Now here is a real test of your character RML. The tea parties and the media coverage of tehm was introduced to the thread on page 3 post 50, and not by me.

how do you respond to being shown wrong? the silent readers are watching

I am a little surprised Fox won but I'm not surprised they won by default because other networks were so pro-Obama. How could they not be pro-Obama when the Republican Party has no moderates left. Sure they have some token people but the truth is the extremists (Teabaggers) run the party. It has become a party run by Dick Armey conservative extremists as seen by the recent election of a Democrat in New York State and not Mr. Hoffman.

CMPA analysis Finds FOX News Was the Most Fair and Balanced

The Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University examined network news coverage both during last years election and after President Obama took office. They found FOX News was the most fair and Balanced. The only reason FOX gained this distinction was the other networks were so pro-Obama.

Democrats will get the 60 votes for the healthcare bill so I guess there is nothing Republicans can do but cry about it.

Someone made a few buttons, which can easily be done on a home computer, (which is the only evidence either of you provided, oh also a blog post), so to you that speaks for the "Movement" . Have I got that right.

Yes, as you have not provided a single example of a leader calling it that. Which everyone following the thread can plainly see.

Of course a troll like Lucy comes in now, since neither Panda or RMl can give a single example to back up what they are saying.

Panda, I know you do not understand why you should provide a single example to back up your assertion. I guess it will just have to remain a mystery to the trolls.
