Early on that was definitely the case but I don't think it is particularly true any more. At least not in the mainstream journalistic media I'm consuming (though we all tend to have our own boundaries on what is mainstream).
That said, and while I found the unintended use of teabagger as funny as the next person I tend to fall into the camp of calling a group of people whatever they prefer to be called, unless is a complete obvious manipulation of the language (I probably wouldn't go along if the Democrats changed the official party name to "The Party of the Clearly and Obviously Best People in the World Party").
