Political term
In 2009, Tea Party protests were formed to protest against United States government tax and spending policies.[1][2] The term refers to those who originally participated in an email campaign titled "Mailing Tea Bags to Washington, DC" which the New American Tea Party blog disavowed.[3] The tactic was and continues to be advocated, though sometimes for tea bag labels only, on multiple "tea party" websites.[4][5][6][7][8]
The verb to "tea bag", hence "tea bagger", to describe these protesters has been used by several pundits and journalists after it appeared self-referentially on signs at Tea Party rallies, distributed by "FReeRepublic.Com". Anderson Cooper apologized for using the term. [9][10][11][12][13] Ridiculing the movement has produced death threats.[14]
The term's growth in the political arena earned attention by the Oxford American Dictionary, and the word "teabagger" achieved finalist status for the OAD Word of the Year.[15]
