Why does Keith Olbermann feel so compelled to insult these American protesters at the Tea Parties?
He & almost everyone on his show (and on MSNBC in general) are calling the protesters "tea baggers". They KNOW that this isn't what the protesters have named their events. They KNOW that the term that they are using has undesirable overtones. How insulting and childish on their part. And don't get me started on Jeanine Garafalo (sp?) and her insults and claims that the protesters are simply "racist" & "tea bagging rednecks"...

Keith Olbermann literally revels in the double meaning. When they showed a lady with teabags hanging from her hat he said talk about your double meaning. And Jeanine Garafalo said they were "Racist Rednecks". Redneck is a racist term that means an animalistic person, an evolutionary u-turn. It means the same as the N word,. and here she is talking about them all as racist. Generalizing people as all entirely one thing is the very definition of racism. They are fine with racism and vulgar speech as long as their the ones doing it.
