Poll question: Should we call the tea party membership "Koch Employees"?
Edited on Sun Jun-26-11 04:36 PM by Dawson Leery
There have been many different titles attached to them, including
Teabagger
Teaklan
Teakooks
Teanuts
Teahadists

While these names are appropriate, perhaps it is time to call them what they are?

3. most of them are probably not getting paid
Kerry is a fairly wealthy man, or his wife is, which is almost the same thing. Would you consider it an effective slur if somebody called you a "Kerry employee" in 2004?

5. I am very familiar with Koch
I live 15 miles from their national headquarters. I find it funny that they are the face of the 'baggers yet they only hire 4 year degree people almost regardless the job.

Teabaggers are Kochlear implants.

They've been artificially implanted in the American news media's ear until they're all they can hear.

9. Kochpuppets
I like teakooks and teanuts. Kochpuppets is more descriptive. Can't see calling them employees, they don't get payed. In fact a lot of them pay (donate to) the kochs :)

11. No, we shouldn't do that
"Employees" implies they're getting paid, and the teabaggers are working for nothing.

Once the teabaggers sober up and realize what they're doing, the question on the lips of every decent American should be, "why would people who will ultimately be hurt drastically by what the Koch Brothers and the Freedomworks customers want to do to them, work so hard for no pay whatsoever to help them do it?"
