In reply to the discussion: My family and I had a WONDERFUL day yesterday because of, believe it or not, teabaggers! [View all]A Simple Game

Tell us exactly what those people did to you? Were they also loud and maybe ruining your dinner? Were they ruining your dinner by just being there? How did these people show you disrespect?
Sounds like you were the ones disrespecting, all you did was reinforce their prejudice, if they even had one. You make an assumption when you say all teabaggers are racist.
