It might appear that some mole within the Republican Party set up the

roots TAX REVOLT movement. Here is the news: (Note,--the offensive

" RNC Takes Down Controversial Tea Party Site
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 03:41 PM
By: David A. Patten
The Republican National Committee has pulled off the Web a site that
some tea party leaders saw as evidence the GOP is trying to "hijack"
the grass-roots conservative movement.
The decision to pull TeaParty.Gop.com off the Web apparently stems from
a meeting Tuesday between RNC Chairman Michael Steele and 50
conservative activists.
Karin Hoffman, founder of the DCWorksForUs group who coordinated the
RNC confab, said Steele appeared unaware of the site's existence when a
conservative activist complained the site was co-opting the independent
movement.
"Chairman Steele did not know of this … he's not the one who actually
edits the Web site," Hoffman told Newsmax. "He said, 'We'll address
that right away, we're going to make sure that's taking down.'"
The site apparently removed late Tuesday night or early Wednesday. . . .

Dear
Matt Logan,
I suppose you are into "DOUBLE ENTENDRE." I am not. As for the
Republicans, I would expect they don't understand a TAX REVOLT any more
than PROGRESSIVES AND DEMOCRATS do? But your crude double entendre; I
DO find that offensive. And I find it deliberate in your case. Maybe
such is the humor of "Jon Stewart, Kieth Olbermann, or David Shuster."
Most double entendre has been sexual in its overtone and this use in
that context is totally offensive. That you enjoy it and mock the
concept of a tax revolt in this manner mostly describes yourself.

those interested to the Wikipedia entry about that term as modern
slang. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teabagging I will not repeat the
meaning of "teabagger" on this listserv since I find such a description
offensive in its own right. Obviously such a description does not
bother Jym Dyer or the use of it hopefully out of context to describe
the national protest for LIBERTY which is sweeping the country. In
fact the short rant by Jynn Dyer got in more gripes from the Left--big
oil, free enterprise, and the notion that protesters called all
government--"jackbooted black-helicopter
