Here we go again: Disagreeing with Obama is "racist"
We read:
"Liberal actress and political activist Janeane Garofalo, in all seriousness, said activists who attended tea parties are racists with dysfunctional brains in a recent prime-time television appearance. "Let's be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea party was about. They don't know their history at all.
It's about hating a black man in the White House," she said on MSNBC's "The Countdown" with Keith Olbermann Thursday evening. "This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that." Olbermann did not once try to challenge her on those assertions.

This is not the first time she let stupidity spew forth from her mouth. It isn't surprising!
She is 100% correct.
To quote Flip (Geraldine) WilsonTHE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT!
To anon 2, what gives you that idea? The teaparty is against big government, not one man. There were protesters disparaging both Repubs and Dems. If you get your news from CNN or MSNBC, you're not getting the whole story. For the record, I have blocked CNN on my TV's. When people like Andeerson Cooper sit on a "news" show and make sexual remarks to ridicule something they don't understand, I don't want to hear it. I expect something like that on HBO, but not a news show.
And I'm supposed care what this pointless thinks why?
I'm serious. Why does anyone care what actors think about politics?
It amazes me that she knows what is in my mind. I went to school when history was a subject & I do know what the Tea Party was about. I am not driven by racism. I am against socialism and an over controlling government.
Is anyone still surprised that leftists are racists and utterly delusional?
And that the Hollywood elite are complete idiots on top of that?
I wouldn't mind having a black man in the White House if they didn't have to remind us every 5 minutes that he's black and what an accomplishment that is.
It's Garofalo who's the real racist, I vote based on ideology.
I really don't recall any Hollywood actor or actress saying that protesters of the Iraq War don't know their history or are stupid.
I really don't care what Hollywood says. But they do have every right to say what they want. This is America, after all.
What I can't stand though, is how these people talk as if what they have to say has more weight and more importance than anybody else.
And to be honest, I have not heard any member of this group saying they are holding a Tea Party because President Obama is black.
These are people who are simply tired of being over taxed.
Tax the people to death they will hit the streets.
It's not all that surprising that the lefties are delusional. full of themselves.
The whole idea of spreading the wealth is a bad idea. It rewards laziness.
People work hard for their paychecks, by taking 2 or 3 jobs just to stay afloat. and to have their hard earn cash taken from is an insult.
Liberals they are the scum bags who ruined the western world.
People should be executed for using the race card and the PC card.
I don't buy into pc mentality, or the socialist rubbish.
I'm serious. Why does anyone care what actors think about politics?You mean like B-Actor Ronald Reagon?
The left wing is terrified of us now!
A simple movement, a tea party that was originally thought that would only bring in a few right wing radicals, brought in more than Two Million people, from coast to coast. We scared the shit out of them! Now they have to fire off everything in their limited arsenal to try and get some people to leave the Tea Party and come back to being good little democrats and not questioning anything that the government does. After all to them, they are the best and brightest and if everyone would just shut up and do what they say, the world would be a wonderful place.
The sexual references on CNN was wonderful. To them it is fair to use anything that they got to hit at Conservatives. Yet I will bet that a few liberals saw that newscast, looked up what Tea Bagging was and was shocked at the reference on a NEWS Show. So now CNN has a few less viewers, maybe not too many, but a few have left. And what opinion will the democrats that were at the rallies have, when their attendance is labeled a Sex Act by CNN. And not one denunciations from the Other Liberals in office. They might just leave the Demoncrats for good.
They are scared and fighting hard to stay in power, so any act against them, must be fought.
Mobius
On Huffington POst they are saying that the tea party protestors were calling themselves "teabaggers."
Is that true? I pray it isn't true.
Bobby
That is False, the only people saying that the Tea Party People were saying that. The only people saying it, were the Uber Liberals!
Mobius
I should have known, Mobious, I just got suspicious because to someone who's not familiar with certain sex acts, "teabagger" might sound innocent. But as usual, it's the left playing their dirty tricks.
The right has their dirty tricks. The left has theirs.
"The right has their dirty tricks. The left has theirs."
---The right never debates with arguments like: "Tancredo is a racist pig repuglicon" nor do they write books like Al Franken's "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot."
Tancredo can make his case without resorting to personal attacks, insults, and derogatory language.
They don't need to call Michael Moore a big fat idiot because being big, fat and idiotic is the least of his problems. They can destroy him with arguments.
And by the way, Tancredo doesn't hate Mexicans, he loves Mexican food and culture, he even speaks Spanish. All he wants to do is protect the border so only LEGAL immigrants can get in. What's wrong with that?
How many of you are aware of the fact that Janeane (i wish i could act) Garofalo is an avowed Marxist? If you knew this, you should not be at all surprised by her rant, especially since it's far from her first one. Now you know the rest of the story.
I'd take Clarence Thomas as President over John Kerry any day. I'd take Michael Steele over Barney Frank any day. I'd take Thomas Sowell over Chris Dodd any day. And in a race between Colin Powell and Barack Obama, Colin Powell is my choice. The pigment in the skin is an irrelevancy. The attitudes in the mind are what really count.
Jeanine Garafolo is one of those clowns who in another age would have been kept in a dungeon and let out every once in a while to entertain a king, depending on how good she was. I suspect she would have seen little sunlight.
