Can I call this sort of thing the “R-Word?”

Posted By JM Bell on December 3, 2009

From David Kurtz at TPM:

As conservatives grapple with how to deal with being called “teabaggers,” a National Review senior editor mulls whether to embrace the term like blacks using the “N-word” amongst themselves: “[T]his brings up the question of whether ‘teabagger’ could be kind of a conservative N-word: to be used in the family, but radioactive outside the family.”

You know what I think about that?

Oops … Too late.
