Aside from honestly not knowing what "teabagging" meant in its slang usage, I see that all of a sudden there are tea parties going on all over the place and Fox News and everyone else is talking about them.
I am always suspicious when a thing goes mainstream. You are aware of my contrarian approach to things --my contention that since narratives and other products get sold just like soap powder, that what is believed by the bulk of the people in the center of the bell curve is the result of costly advertising. Who's behind the advertising? What is their aim? So when tea parties are all of a sudden popular, I am very skeptical.
This appears to be an establishment attempt to safely channel popular anger into some meaningless act. I will remind you that the original Boston Tea Party was an act of economic "terrorism." Some patriots destroyed the cargo of a vessel. It wasn't some symbolic act. It was a kick in the gut.
