I don't see Fox doing it. But many of the posters on here have picked up the practice and do it, as Soulshiner points out.
Before that, the Obama haters tried always using his middle name when referencing him, but found out it didn't bother liberals, so they mostly stopped.
:rofllol Blame it all on Rush? I seemed to remember it happening in my grade school in the early 70's, but maybe the first time you ever saw it was Rush.

The difference between grade school and Rush is that one group is children. Rush is an adult.

That was not my purpose, but how do you consider that disrespectful, yet you say nothing about the subject of the OP?

Rush is an entertainer trying to get some chuckles.

Totally agree, sometimes he goes on a rant and he really needs a producer to shut him down or give him a time out.

I do not change posters names here... I may call "FredHyaek" "Fred" because it's easier to type.
I will continue to use the word "teabagger" because that is the word they used to refer to themselves. If you don't like it, don't use it.
What else?

Gee, I learned it from Limbaugh... I guess it's come full circle right back to the Rightie echo-chamber.
