When Donald Trump made the statement that Hillary Clinton got “schlonged” in the 2008 election, he was immediately set upon by the liberal media for the use of a vulgarity.
Donald Trump is being criticized for the below video, where the presidential candidate says Hillary Clinton got “schlonged” when she lost to President Obama in 2008. By Trump turning the word “schlong” into the verb “schlonged” to describe a woman losing to a man, “The Donald” is being taken to the mat for using the vulgar slang, which describes a man’s penis, in such a manner.
Trump used the word schlonged while trying to explain how Clinton was ahead in the polls but got “schlonged” when she lost to Mr. Obama in 2008. Now that Trump has said “schlonged,” the world is reacting to his usage of the word, with some calling getting it a sexist way to describe Clinton losing to President Obama.
In what can only be described as galactic irony, CNN offered this:
Grand Rapids, Michigan (CNN)—Donald Trump attacked Hillary Clinton in vulgar terms Monday night, saying that her bathroom break during the last Democratic debate was just too “disgusting” to talk about and then stating she “got schlonged” by Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race.
“Even a race to Obama, she was gonna beat Obama. I don’t know who would be worse, I don’t know, how could it be worse? But she was going to beat — she was favored to win — and she got schlonged, she lost, I mean she lost,” Trump said, using a vulgar Yiddish word for a man’s penis.
To the surprise of none of us, the left wing media enjoyed throwing around vulgarities when the target was conservatives. Anderson Cooper, who likely well knows what the term “teabagger” means, gleefully tossed it off in an exchange with David Gergen:
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper followed his colleague David Shuster into the gutter on his Anderson Cooper 360 program on Tuesday in making a vulgar “tea-bagging” joke about Republicans/conservatives. After CNN’s senior political analyst David Gergen remarked that Republicans were “searching for their voice” after two electoral losses, Cooper quipped, “It’s hard to talk when you’re tea-bagging.”
Cooper had Gergen and chief business correspondent Ali Velshi on to comment on President Obama’s economic speech earlier that day at Georgetown University. Cooper had asked Gergen about the Republicans’ “positioning” in response to the speech. The analyst touted how the GOP was “in disarray” and that they “have not yet come up with a compelling alternative, one that has gained popular recognition.” Cooper replied, “Tea-bagging. They’ve got tea-bagging.”

Rachel Maddow grabbed hold of it:
April 9
Rachel Maddow is the first to mock the Tea Party’s use of the phrase on her left-leaning MSNBC show. “Even Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina is getting in on the hot tea-bagging action,” she says, stifling laughter. (Watch Rachel Maddow joke about the “tea baggers”)
David Shuster swallowed whole:
April 13
David Shuster, filling in for liberal commentator Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, also makes fun of the phrase. “While the parties are officially toothless, the tea-baggers are full-throated about their goals,” he says. Jeff Poor at the Business and Media Insitute says that the MSNBC comments are “lost in juvenile criticism and ignoring the reason there is discontent from the conservative base”
Obama couldn’t resist the use of the vulgarity:
In Jonathan Alter’s “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,” President Obama is quoted in an interview saying that the unanimous vote of House Republicans vote against the stimulus bills “set the tenor for the whole year … That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.”
The term “schlonged” is an old Yiddish term and it is part of the common New York vernacular.
The term “tea bagging” is a vulgarity, plain and simple. The same left which is outraged by the use of the term “schlonged” happily yanks out the term teabagger. But as we’ve shown over and over, one cannot be a liberal without being a hypocritical moron.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
There is NO moral equivalence between schlong (which is NOT a vulgarity, but simply a Yiddish term for a man’s anatomy) or even schlonged (a verb meaning beaten badly in any competition) VS teabagger (which IS a vulgarity from the get-go.
A TEA party member is one who believes he is Taxed Enough Already.
It has NOTHING to do with the older term used among homosexuals (and some women) for an oral sex act.
As a child playing Scrabble with my family I can recall being told my team had been schlonged by my opponents.
There was nothing dirty about it …. as a verb.
And Trump did NOT originate using it as a verb.
hillary was vulgar and abusive to the USSS. fowl language, finger gestures, and inappropriate behavior was a daily event for the USSS . Those who worked the PD in the USSS were regularlyhumiliated by her.
Need we mention how Bill Maher describes conservative women? Has he been ostracized by the left or did his $1 million donation to Obama buy him absolution?
Nice try. ‘Schlonged’ in any context is a sexual reference. You wingnuts can try to reinvent history but you can’t reinvent language.
No candidate has used ‘teabagger.’ And by the way, it was a term coined by Fox News before they realized what it was. Too bad for you, tbaggers!
Keep defending an indefensible moron who is playing you.
@Reem:
Well, that’s pretty specific. However, it fails to address the FACT that the left routinely uses the term in the sexually-explicit way, intentionally.
I, for one, think Trump used the term to describe Hillary being “screwed” by the Obama campaign and the Obama-cheerleading media, which even if crude, precisely describes what actually happened.
I also think that lying about a despicable enemy using a candidate as a recruiting tool is pretty crude and obscene as well. How about you, Reem (the mind reels considering how you chose that moniker)? What do you think about a President or candidate knowingly lying to promote their policies or campaign?
Perhaps this answers my question above; you seem to think lying is OK, preferable to admitting what is true. You seem to prefer being tbagged by the liberal lie-factory.
And how about the sexually explicit way in which Biden was caught on mic describing to Obama what was about to happen to the American taxpayer when Obamacare became law? As usual, the outrage of the left is very, very selective.
What is it that trips the “Your comment is awaiting moderation” switch?
@Reem: From the article:
As well as a lying moron!
Per the reemer:
” And by the way, it was a term coined by Fox News before they realized what it was. Too bad for you, tbaggers!”
You lying fool – all anyone has to do is take a minute at Urban dictionary to find many references dated long (schlong) before the TEA party ever came along!!
Consider yourself “SCHLONGED”
@Bill:You asked:
Apparently not much – says I!
@Reem:
Fox news had NOTHING to do with coining the term “teabagger” or “teabaggging”.
YOU cannot prove that it did. It is a term that came out of online multiplayer FPS games years ago.
You libs are very typical, it’s either GWB or Fox news for everything. I see you didn’t get a clue for Christmas either.
Reem, you’re a child and a joke. Nice try. Hypocrite you are to the end. Must be a liberal.
