“Actress/activist” Janeane Garofalo used another media appearance to smear anti-Obama protesters as racists, this time, Friday night on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, insisting “it's obvious to anybody who has eyes in this country that tea-baggers, the 9-12ers” are “clearly white power movements” led “by the Glenn Becks, the Michelle Bachmans, the Rush Limbaughs.”
She fretted that “so few people are willing to say that yes it is racism, straight up racism,” before confusing which party controlled segregationist southern states: “The Republican Party has been willing to carry water for racists in this country since about the 1950s.” Garofalo proceeded to repeat a charge she's made often: “Fox News is happy to feed into this; AM radio is happy to feed into this,” including “this tacit nudging towards violence.” [Audio: MP3 clip]
Past NewsBusters posts on Garofalo's outbursts, including a lengthy diatribe on MSNBC back in April.
Garofalo's rant, on the Friday, October 2 edition of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher:
It's obvious to anybody who has eyes in this country that tea-baggers, the 9-12ers, these separatist groups that pretend that it's about policy – they are clearly white-identity movements. They're clearly white power movements. What they don't like about the President is that he's black – or half black (applause) – and they, what also is shocking is that people keep pretending that that's not really the case with these people.
I'm not talking about people that do have problems with his policies, that's fine. But these people, who are also being led by the Glenn Becks, the Michelle Bachmans, the Rush Limbows [presumably Limbaugh], whomever, they are no different than any other white identify movement that's part of our history. This has been going on since the founding of this country that white power movements have tried to establish themselves and hold onto power.It's very weird that whenever this comes up in conversation, so few people are willing to say that yes it is racism, straight up racism. And the Republican Party has been willing to carry water for racists in this country since about the 1950s. (Applause)
Electorally, these white power people don't have their own party – maybe they will one day – so they are electorally-dependent on the Republicans. But also troubling, Fox News is happy to feed into this; AM radio is happy to feed into this. They will continue to do this til somebody does something.
What you're saying [Thomas Friedman] is absolutely true, there's this tacit nudging towards violence. Then also, how about showing up armed? What if black people showed up armed at a McCain rally? What would be the response of that?

It's quite simple, the networks she's on are largely owned by anti-US interests like Bin Talal. She speaks for them. She certainly doesn't speak for any sizeable portion of America.

Also Godawful has no relationship with the racial policies of the Democrat party. Hey Janine check out a Civil War history book for once in your pathetic life, and do a little research. Then again she is comfortable being and ignorant & hateful shrew.

October 3, 2009 - 05:43 ET by bolivarI won't have HBO for long. I have not watched it in a month and since Maher is on there it is another good reason for dropping it. When the free offer is over it is gone. Good riddance. They put this pos on their network and think it is funny???? This guy has not been funny since the day he was born. He is a boring, bitter little man and Barfolo is likewise. She has no talent, no skill, is no looker and never was funny.....kinda like the messiahs entire cabinet isn't it?

The Clueless Skank
October 3, 2009 - 03:38 ET by Johnnye BGarofalo is repeating herself more than Hoffman did in “Rain man”. She really needs a new scrip writer. Every time she opens her mouth, it is the same old bla, bla, bla racism straight up. The only people I see nudging towards violence is the liberals. They are the only ones that keep talking about it and I guess they will continue to do this hoping somebody will do something. In addition, Garofalo asked what would be the response if black people showed up armed at a McCain rally. Probably the same response when the black person showed up at the Obama rally in Arizona with an AR-15. That response was, why take a gun to any political gathering? Oh yea, Garofalo drinks the MSMBC Kool-aid. She really thinks it was a white guy that had the AR-15. The clueless skank.

But I'm realizing that it doesn't matter if anyone watches these shows. I am married to a Libtard, have them as in-laws, and work with them.
Every so often I drop something in their laps to see how they'll react. They're clueless, don't want to hear it, still hate Bush/Limbaugh, etc. though they either don't want to or can't explain why...they just do. They just like Obama. They don't know why, they just do. I'm guessing He represents to them an intellectual rationality of some kind that makes them feel cerebrally and morally superior.
I am a science teacher, and drop some subtle things now and then just to get a feel for where these teens are. Despite their shortcomings (just part of being that age, but they are forming their life-long attitudes now for the most part), they, as a group, seem to be pretty conservative...that is, they still believe in America, free-enterprise, and don't really seem to believe in getting something for nothing. There again, I live in a "red" county, so take it with a grain of salt, though it is hopeful as they learned these values at home.
My dad was in the Air Force...he served in the Korean War and in Vietnam. I was in AFJROTC in high school and was an Army officer. Saluting the flag and learning about our great country's history was just part of growing up. I love patriotic music. I'm probably one of the few Americans who know how Columbia the Gem of the Ocean and The Battle Cry of Freedom go.
Few others around me ever seemed interested. I love visiting historical sites, especially Civil War battlefields. My wife thinks they're silly and boring. Except for Gettysburg, the rest are ghost towns on any given day, but the amusement parks are jam packed. Rarely see African-Americans at these places, though that's where their freedom was bought and paid for with blood.
Hate to say it, but it just could be that Americans have latched on too much to the free enterprise/success part of America and have forgotten the values/sacrifice part. If so, I'd say we're screwed.

October 3, 2009 - 05:51 ET by ricklailThe schools don't teach songs any more. I learned Columbia along with Battle Cry in elementary school. We also learned songs of the Confederacy like Eating Goober Peas and the Bonnie Blue Flag. I also learned the Wake Forest Fight Song.
My dad retired as a CSM. I served for 2 years in the Army and 12 years in the National Guard. We were brought up to be patroitic.
I too am a Civil War buff and a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. I had numerous relatives that fought for the South. My great-great grandfather, Noah Sigmon. Company I, NC 11th, was killed at Bristow Station, VA. I hope to get there someday.

Hey RR,
October 3, 2009 - 16:30 ET by SentryDanHey RR,
Maybe you could show the kids you teach some of the black history associated with the making of this great nation. Especially the time from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War. Things like how many black slave owners there were and how many blacks fought for the South or the free black during the Revolution. They may find it interesting.
Good luck.
Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who are serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.
Also remember folks, that the way to SUPPORT THE TROOPS is to support their mission. Anyone who says that they support the troops but don't support their mission is lying about supporting the troops. And if you want to know, yes I do have a dog in the fight, he is a United States Marine.
→Sentry Dan
October 3, 2009 - 20:36 ET by RR GOPWish I could, but I pretty much stick to enough history in order to teach them about where modern science came from and therefore how it impacts us. Also, going against PC would quite honestly get me in hot water. However, all one has to do is view a photo of the Confederate Memorial statue at Arlington Cemetery commissioned long ago by the Daughters of the Confederacy to see the truth that they they knew and has been subsequently hidden from the vast majority of Americans. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.
I do have a problem with black kids not taking their education seriously. That's a slap in the face to their ancestors and relatives who took to the streets back in the '50s and '60s. Wasn't that long ago that there were no public schools for black children and too many don't appreciate it at all.
But, it's not too different with the white kids, considering where they'd be now if they were still back in the Old Country.
I tell my students that if there was a rule that you weren't allowed to go to school because you were, black, white, Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, blonde haired, poor, whatever that they'd be demanding their right to an education...so why not appreciate the opportunities they have now?
We humans are strange creatures. It's a wonder we've managed to survive this long.

And the assault came from leftist members of the SEIU union.
So we can thereby infer all members of the SEIU are violenly racist, eh Garafalo?

What would Dr. King think about the false charge of racism?
October 3, 2009 - 07:03 ET by MindsBiggerDr. Martin Luther King once stated that society should judge a man by his character and not the color of his skin. The majority of citizens would agree with this imperative. Today we have our first African American President, but with this achievement in our society, we also have a potentially devastating charge leveled at anyone who stands in opposition to the President's agenda. What most people disagree with is the rapid expansion of government control over our lives that has happened in the last eight months. So, we are living out what Dr. King longed to see in his lifetime. A man of color being judged by his character and the content of his ideas. The left have labeled this stance as racist. This inflammatory statement does little to hurt the people who disagree with the President's agenda, but it does great harm to the people of color in the country. We want the President to stand up to a public debate on the issues at hand. The left doesn't believe a man of color can be successful in such a debate, and they quickly toss out the "race card". This in effect causes society to focus on color and not content. Ironic that the left who claim to be the people of equality are actually acting as true racists.

"It's very weird that
October 3, 2009 - 07:26 ET by winston smith"It's very weird that whenever this comes up in conversation, so few people are willing to say that yes it is racism, straight up racism".
Uh, because they know it's not racism Janeane. Americans know what real racism is, they remember when Democrats were aiming the firehoses at black civil rights demonstraters in the 50s and 60s. They know about the white-hooded Democrats burning crosses on hillsides, the evil lynchings and how desperately Democrats tried to keep blacks from entering "white" public schools, and they know all about the ex-Klansman Democrat from West Virginia who is currently a United States Senator . Nobody believes your ficticious stories about Republicans Janeane because we are already familiar with the truth about the history of the Democrat party (just as you are) and how they created and built the KKK and the Jim Crow laws. Nice try Janeane, but in reality, less than 10 percent of the country are far-left kook fringe whackjobs and really enjoy a hearty laugh at your delusional tirades.

inane and desperate
October 3, 2009 - 20:08 ET by lotrAlinskyism on parade. The charge of "racism" by her and others is a desperate, banal ploy. I was going to say that "they don't get it," but I think it's more along the lines that "they do get it," but are not able to argue on substance, so they resort to Alinsky's Rules -- just use "ridicule" to neutralize the opponents, for the ends (the radicals' agenda) justifies the means.

The reason they call us racist...
October 3, 2009 - 08:23 ET by stage9or homophobe or anything else is because it is a form of verbal intimidation. They know the average American is compassionate and doesn't want to be labelled "hateful", so they use this tactic to silence opposition. It's called "jamming". It is really manipulation. The trick is to get the so-called "bigot" into the position of feeling a conflicting twinge of shame by the position they take - in this case we are meant to feel "shame" as racists (which of course we're not, but that doesn't matter).
The homosexual community uses this psychological tactic all the time to soften your impression of their lifestyle. Here's how it works.
They accomplish their psychological manipulation through "repeated exposure to pictorial images or verbal statements that are incompatible with his self-image as a well-liked person, one who fits in with the rest of the crowd. Thus, propagandistic advertisement can depict homophobic and homohating bigots as crude loudmouths and assholes--people who say not only 'fag--t' but 'n----r,' 'k-ke,' and other shameful epithets--who are 'not Christian."
"It can, in short, link homohating bigotry with all sorts of attributes the bigot would be ashamed to possess, and with social consequences he would find unpleasant and scary."
"When he sees someone like himself being disapproved of and disliked by ordinary Joes, Direct Emotional Modeling ensures that he will feel just what they feel --and transfer it to himself."
"Note that the bigot need not actually be made to believe that he is such a heinous creature, that others will now despise him, and that he has been the immoral agent of suffering. It would be impossible to make him believe any such thing. Rather, our effect is achieved without reference to facts, logic, or proof."
The above was taken from a book authored by two homosexuals whose ambition was to force homosexuality on America through psychological and propagandistic means. It's called "After the Ball, How America will conquer its fear and hatred of Gays in the 90s"
Liberals use this "bullying" technique religiously. Whether you're called a racist or a homophobe the technique is meant to silence all opposition.
"If God is dead, somebody is going to have to take his place. It will
be megalomania or erotomania, the drive for power or the drive for
pleasure, the clenched fist or the phallus, Hitler or Hugh Hefner."

Garafalo is WRONG about everything
October 3, 2009 - 11:03 ET by MCLANTIEREWRONG WRONG WRONG
Jeneanne Garafalo is wrong on everything.
1) In so far as anyone being a RACIST ... it seems to me that the only ones EVER making an issue of RACE are people like Obama, Bill Maher, and Garafalo! No one I know EVER makes a race remark, because we're too busy distrusting the destructive direction that the Socialist/Facsist Liberals are taking us.
When New Black Panther were at a polling place with clubs, and the
charges were dopped byDoJ ... you didn't hear a whimper out of these
Liberals. It seems that Liberal Black thugs with weapons at places of
voting ... are acceptable.
3) Teabaggers -- technically Barney Frank is a Tea Bagger. Garafalo is a TWO Bagger ... and for the record ... I'm a Citizen, and therefore a Tea PARTIER!

Janeane Garofalo is fond of
October 3, 2009 - 11:48 ET by samhermanmdJaneane Garofalo is fond of using false, pop psychology to "diagnose" conservatives and Republicans with some mental illnesses that she hears on Oprah, Dr. Phil and other feeble-minded TV fare.
Let's take a look at Janeane herself. Using the composite definitions of obssessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) from my copy of the DSM-IV(R) (diagnostic and statistical manual 4th edition revised by the American Psychiatric Association), and from the National Institute for Mental Health site at http://www.nimh.nih.... , let's see how Janeane stacks up:
1) Fixed false beliefs (obsessions) - all conservatives and Republicans are racist; all liberals are intelligent; Janeane is the only sane person; and AirAmerica and MSNBC are wildly popular but the "liars" in the media rating agencies won't tell us that. Based on the standard of "intuitively obvious falsehood", it is easy to see that all of Janeane's beliefs are not only false, but dangerously so.
2) Compulsions (repetitive behaviors) - going on unpopular shows or networks to denounce conservatives and Republicans at every turn; insisting she is more intelligent than anyone else; unkempt appearance halfway between mangy dog and pile of old cleaning rags; and obnoxious, screeching voice with poor diction and grammar. From the "visually obvious" standard of behavioral observation, we can see that she repeats these actions to the point of danger.
DING! We have a winner! Congrats, Janeane! Looks like you have OCD, but I would add a huge touch of psychotic dissociative disorder (voices in her head) and a truckload of borderline personality disorders too.
Watching her on TV is so much better diagnostically than having her in an office, because there is no "white coat" syndrome masking her behaviors, and her verbal dysentery is better than an Amobarbital interview.

She completely dismisses the fact that this is about policy only, knowing that Maher, Olbermann and the trained seals in their audiences will never expect her to discuss policy. Were she to step out of her echo chamber and subject herself to policy-related questioning, she would be exposed as the ignorant, incompetent, ivory tower dolt that most already know she is.

October 3, 2009 - 22:06 ET by Moonbat MonitorI thought it was quite funny, and accurate.
I gave it a thumbs up. As have most people.
Garofalo is even too nuts for most democrats. She's an embarrassment, and we need to convince the public that she and her ilk are the face of the democratic party, the same way they tried (and failed, btw) with the whole Limbaugh/Republican meme.
As successful as we've been lately with our newfound use of the "alinsky tactics," we should be able to crush these worhtless demagogues (such as JG) and socialists quite easily. They can dish it out, but when they get it thrown back at them, they melt down.

Garafalo is ignorant
October 4, 2009 - 01:10 ET by Cho Yi Fan“The Republican Party has been willing to carry water for racists in this country since about the 1950s.”
Hey Janeane get a clue the Republican party actually freed the slaves remember Abe Lincoln?
Garafalo is once again talking pure socialist crap. Maybe she should read some actual US history before she opens her yap. As far as politicians who carried water for racist lets not forget that George Wallace,Bull Conner,John Stennis,Orval Falbus,and Lester Maddox and were all Southern Democrats that did their best at one time or another to promote segregation.Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV)was once a member of the KKK.And lets not forget the Dixiecrat party, made up of southern Dems,who had segregation as part of their 1948 presidential campaign platform. Strom Thurman (D-SC) was their man.
People like Garafalo will never understand what a tea party or 9-12 is really about because they believe that big government is a good thing.She believes that your money is really everyone's money and that having more than simply enough money to exist is too much.She despises the freedoms and liberties that this country was founder upon. She would be better off in Venezuela.She comes across as an angry miserable person. Feel pity for her.

Typical White People
October 4, 2009 - 13:55 ET by ARCHONIt's obvious the ETHNO-MARXIST DRONES like Garafalo are hell-bent on expressing their inner HATE at the world by throwing slurs like "tea-baggers" and accusing American citizens of being part of a "White Power Movement"...it's quite obvious she doesn't have a clue about American History or of the "Race" record between the Republicans and Democrats; there'd be no Civil Rights Act if it weren't for Republicans, even JFK was against it...but let's not have the facts blur her hate-filled bigoted fantasies.
Garafalo's use of the term "tea-bagger" alone is absolutely vile, and isn't much different than describing Garafalo as an ANGRY CARPET MUNCHER. Hey, one homosexual sex act as an offensive slur deserves another, right?
And, whose description is more accurate? Certainly not Ms. Leg Stubble & Hairy Pits Garafalo's, that's a guarantee.
Hey Janeane, an armed, self described conservative, Black Man showed up at a Town Hall meeting, not too long ago, and do you know what happened?
Nothing.
85% of the GUN CRIMES and arrests in NYC are attributed to Blacks, how many of them do you think support Obama-Soetoro?
Garafalo, and her peers are twisted by their own bigotry and hatred for others that all stems from their own negative self-image, and low self-esteem.
They express their hate, as Janeane does, in an attempt to fill the void in their "souls".
At least we all no know what Janeane and her Black Power community organizer fuhrer think about all of the TYPICAL WHITE PEOPLE that are their neighbors.
