I find the use of the term "tea bagger" to be insulting, rude and uncalled for.

First off the movement is called "tea parties", so named after the Boston Tea Party of revolutionary times, not the rude sexual slang it's opponents apply to it.
Tough, If they didn't like the word they shouldn't have introduced it to their movement.
Don't try and rewrite events , they themseves were calling it teabagging and inviting people to teabag politicians.
Just go to Fox broadcasts before they decided it was insulting. Listen to them talking about teabagging , watch their links to and interviews with people behind the tea parties, see them talk of teabagging.
You can go all the way to teaparties.com and hear the founder of the "grassroots" movement inviting people to a teabagging.
So it isn't uncalled for, their own choice of words is an open invitation to ridicule.
They should have chosen their words more thoughtfully.
