You are being disingenuous here. The sign said "Teabag the white house before they teabag you." So the person who wrote that sign was under the impression that the white house was going to mail bags of tea to people, and that offended him enough to make a sign? The person who made that sign clearly knew the definition, which is why they chose that verbiage. They were trying to be cleaver and offensive.
