Garofalo: Tea Party Protesters 'Functionally Retarded Adults'; Says 'I Want My Country Back' Code for 'I Want My White Guy Back'

You probably already knew Jeanane Garofalo was no fan of conservatives, Republicans or just about anything that could be described as right of center. But the former Air America host and MSNBC regular really has a low regard for conservative activists.

In an appearance at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 21, Garofalo ripped into tea party protesters, or what some of the wizards of smart on the left have deemed "tea baggers" calling them "functionally retarded adults" and "racists."

"Do you remember tea baggers?" Garofalo said. "It was just so much easier when we could just call them racists. I just don't know why we can't call them racists, or functionally retarded adults."

Garofalo has made prior overtures alleging any public display of discontent with the current president is nothing more than racial hatred. Back in April she called tea party protesters "a bunch of tea bagging rednecks" on MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." However, she contended the public's frustration expressed over the direction of the country was code for racism.

"The functionally retarded adults, the racists - with their cries of, ‘I want my country back,'" she said. "You know what they're really saying is, ‘I want my white guy back.' They apparently had no problem at all for the last eight years of habeas corpus being suspended, the Constitution being [expletive] on, illegal surveillance, lied to on a war or two, two stolen elections - yes, the John Kerry one was stolen too. That's not tin-foil hat time. That's just..."

According to Garofalo, the media were the reason George W. Bush defeated both former Vice President Al Gore in 2000 and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., in 2004 to hold on to the White House for eight years.

"Our media is quite happy to report on any stolen election around the world, any stolen election around the world except ours," Garofalo said. "And it's just unexamined narcissism. It's just, if you were to say this to the average American, ‘You know they steal elections in Uganda.' ‘Yeah.' ‘You know they steal elections in America.' ‘Why do you hate America?' ‘Why didn't you ask me why do you hate Uganda?'"

And throughout Garofalo's stand-up routine, she reiterated her belief that the outrage over President Barack Obama's and the Democratic-controlled Congress' branded of domestic policy is veiled racism.

"This is neuroscience," Garofalo continued. "This is not politics, this is neuroscience. It is purely limbic brain activity - this emotion over being angry that there's a black guy in office, with the people showing up armed to the health care meetings - to whatever, the town halls. But it's just, and these tea baggers. It makes me soul sick."

Perhaps the 3-4 viewers of MSNBC.

I don't even think anyone considers her funny anymore either, if she ever was.  At what point do her comments classify as "hate speech.'

She's tapped into both the Nazi and Soviet playbooks, however.  All dissenters are psychologically ill (Soviet assessment) and physcially defective (Nazi assessment).   Either one earns the subject dissenter a trip to the gulag.

 

 

 

Garofalo: Tea Party

Garofalo: Tea Party Protesters 'Functionally Retarded Adults'

A scornful politically correct Hollywood leftist using the word "retarded" in the perjoritivie? What happened to the left's self-imposed censorship on using inflammitory language that might offend minorities and the mentally handicapped? I guess it's okay to reprehensibly call someone a retard if you're part of celebrity elite. Anyway, for a bunch of 'functionally retarded adults' we're sure making some serious progress against that genius Obama and his phoney-baloney  health care scam. Since the "retards" decided to make their voices heard, Obama's popularity has been tanking faster than the future of government-run health care. Not bad for a bunch of "functioal retards", huh Janeane?

Another Way Of Putting It

Winston Smith:

Greg Gutfeld of Redeye said that Obama's popularity is falling faster than Charlie Sheen's boxer shorts in a whorehouse.

Hear, hear, Winston!

As I read Garafalo's comments, the first thing that occurred to me is "Why is it OK for HER to refer to anyone as "retarded" when the libs made that politically incorrect hate speech YEARS ago?"  I have been under the impression that "developmentally disabled" was the only acceptable term one could use to describe someone who suffered from what we used to call "mental retardation" before we were all enlightened.  Ah, but when you are a darling of the liberal elite, I guess you can say anything you want to.

Garafalo is allowed to use to 'R' word

Just as blacks are allowed to use the 'N' word, Garafalo is allowed to use the 'R' word.

Rabid Dogs

You know, I could swear there's something you're supposed to do when a dog is foaming at the mouth, but I just can't remember what it is right now.

Atticus Finch knew what to do with a rabid dog

;-P

Hands up

Hands up--who else was hoping she would have been one of the bad guys in "24?"  Who wanted to see Chloe have to kill her? 

I Was

(Raises hand).

I was.  I SO wanted her to

I was.  I SO wanted her to be a traitor :D  And I'm pretty sure that if Chloe had killed her on 24, Gutfield would have that running on a loop during the RedEye commercial breaks...

it is projection - you are correct.

the hard right suffers from projection as well, but this sound clip is a perfect example of accusing your rivals of the very same offenses of which you are guilty.

but to truly believe that the only way your candidate could lose an election (and i mean any election) is because the process is flawed, hacked, tainted or any other term redefines the term "deranged".  she need stronger meds.

 

swing hard in case you hit it.

You will also note that the

You will also note that the voting machines and process that were so flawed in 2000 and 2004 were working just fine in 2006 and 2008.  If conservatives are so good at fixing elections how did we miss so badly when we really needed it.

Who is she, anyway?

I never heard of her until she started calling me a racist tea-bagger.  Is this her sole shtick?    (soul sick...)

Aren't we in a recession?

Why would anybody waste hard-earned money on this form of 'entertainment'?  How many people were in this audience?

Must all be on The One's payroll.

 

That question is exactly

That question is exactly what her last audience in Britain was asking themselves.

Personally I think it's the constant sound of crickets coming out of her audiences.  She's not funny, she's not good, she knows it, so now she's ratcheting up the rhetoric to get something, anything.

Why choose the lesser of two evils?

"Ratcheting up the rhetoric to get something, anything."

Come to think of it Garofalo seems to share this tendency with her hero Obama.

- Relying upon the State Run Media for your information is like relying upon an embezzler for your portfolio management.

What can you say...

..about that? After reading this, the fact that this warped minded, clueless, brain dead freak thinks of us as 'functionally retarded adults' is a complement. If anyone is retarded or racist here, it is clearly Garafalo. She obviously hates white people, and high functioning ones at that. The real question is this; does anyone really care what this woman says or thinks? She is a 'never was' comedienne, who worked on the most overdue for cancellation television shows ever, during perhaps its worst ever period; she is a failed radio host, again for a failed network. Now she is an 'analyst' for one of the worst rated 'news organizations' on television. When you look up 'irrelevant' in the dictionary, Garafalo is pictured right next to Olbermann.

 

President Obama is nothing more than a lying empty suit; a Hollywood
style special effects smoke and mirrors show that has shown itself to
be a total fraud.
 

WAKE UP AMERICA! SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION! 

she is right about one

she is right about one thing ...... her soul is sick 

_______ Him and the Unicorn he rode in on

"This is neuroscience,"

"This is neuroscience," Garofalo continued. "This is not politics, this
is neuroscience. It is purely limbic brain activity - this emotion over
being angry that there's a black guy in office, with the people showing
up armed to the health care meetings - to whatever, the town halls. But
it's just, and these tea baggers. It makes me soul sick."

Wow, Janeane....with your genius  in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry,  why aren't you offering your services to "help" those poor, benighted souls?  Don't you want to be in one of the "helping professions" that Michelle talks about?

Or maybe you should just join a carnival and do mind reading tricks.

 

Speaking of psychiatry

Speaking of psychiatry, Garofalo is clearly a poster child for emotional personality disorders, specificially Histrionic, Narcississtic, and Borderline Personality Disorders.  IOW she's a wreched creature and a totally toxic personality; she got a double helping of Liberal/Left traits.

Garofalo wishes her skin and hair looked that good! 

"Garofalo wishes her skin

"Garofalo wishes her skin and hair looked that good!" I heard she gets her hair done at Jiffy Lube and they throw in a detail for every 5 visits.

Usually...

I think she is following in the Jiffy Lube footsteps of:

Elizabeth Edwards (she was almost incoherent on Larry King the othe night -- and no I don't feel sorry for her and in fact don't trust her)

Sotomayor

I will put my IQ and

I will put my IQ and knowledge of American History and the Constitution up against Garafalo's any time, any day.  But she wouldn't dare, just as she wouldn't dare go to I the tea party she was invited to so she could see just who the tea partiers were.  I'm another person sick of being called a racist when I object to a government policy, get over it.  It's the policy stupid. 

Like Bill Maher, she can't make it as an actor or a comedian, so she's decided to become an obnoxious mouthpiece for the left.  And the lemmings are following her...

'Soul sick'?

Gimme a break.  She's a liberal.  She's anti-god.  She doesn't even believe in 'souls'.  Despite anything she may say, she doesn't believe in God. If she did, she'd remember his commandments about 'bearing false witness'.....

I kind of lump Garafalo

I kind of lump Garafalo into a category along with Cindy Sheehan, where I feel their ever increasing bile towards political opponents is a symptom of whatever mental illness they have. Political Tourettes Syndrome, perhaps? Whatever, they're both sad sacks of humanity. They're the kind of people who will wind up, wearing five filthy coats on top of each other, pushing a shopping cart of all their possessions down the street, muttering to themselves and cussing out passers-by.

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

Chris, Sheehan, although I

Chris, Sheehan, although I don't like her, has somewhat of an excuse.  I think when her son died some part of her mind became unglued.  At least she's also protesting Obama, whearas I don't hear Garafalo complaining about Obama's "give me names of healthcare critics" website.

Rad,

Rad,

I started to mention that difference, but who knows? Garafalo may have demons we don't even know about that led her to behaving like this. She had a good acting career and has chucked it all to act like a madwoman. It can't be normal. I added above that she and Sheehan would probably end up one day as bag ladies on the street - they're both really only a camera and a microphone away from that now.

bt,

Once, in Sacramento, I had the unfortunate experience of accidentally making eye contact with a bag lady on the street near Capitol Park. She started screaming at me that I was evil and trying to steal her brain* - or something to that effect. Of course, I didn't argue with her, but got away as fast as I could. I feel the same way towards even beginning to try to intelligently counter Garafalo's hateful gibberish. 

* by the way, I was only trying to borrow her brain - and not for evil purposes either.  :)

There are real crazies in this old world, and these two gals we are speaking of fit the bill...

Btw...from all that I have read about Sheehan from the past, she had lots of 'problems' long before before Casey was killed.

Chris, I would not give

Chris, I would not give Garofalo the benefit of that doubt; we've seen that progression in too many celebrities.

They start out as entertainers, and then realizing that they get lots of attention for nothing, they decide to "prove" that they are "relevant" in a real world.  And nowhere better than the world of politics.  The politicians want to be "cool" by hanging with the "celebrities" and in return, they get treated as if they have something worthwhile to say.

Garofalo is just a second-rate knockoff Barbara Streisand.  These morons have less standing to "advise" politicians or political parties than I do.

MB, I think we'll just

MB,

I think we'll just have to differ on the point - not that it's a big deal or anything. I just think that Garafalo has - er - distinguished - herself by ever increasing the bile to the point that it says far more about her than those she's directing it towards. She has made herself into a cast member of a freak show. I know some liberals who even recognize this. Plus, the way she has let herself go physically is startling. I really do think she's mentally ill. I don't say that in a pejorative way, either.

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

I have to admit, you have a

I have to admit, you have a point with the physical appearance thing.  Startling is a good way of putting it.  I was kind of thinking that she's making a point that she's a serious person who doesn't care about appearances.  But when one gets to the point of ignoring even basic grooming routines, you have to wonder.

I  may have to rethink this.

 

 

Sheehan...

Personally, I think Sheehan is a wannabe protestor. She's too young for the full-on love-ins, and too old to be a hippie love-child. She lives in the flower-child state and more than likely made life miserable for her son; probably resulting in his choice to leave via the USMC- the one thing that would hurt her the most. He, unfortunately lost his life serving his country and that sent her over the edge into some self-justified "I can finally be the hippie I aways wanted to be" hysteria. She's since been rendered completely irrelevant, and is only "protesting Obama" to try to regain her moment in the spotlight. No one does what she did, allowing herself to be financed and paraded around as an anti-war mouthpiece without some narcistic foundation. Sad really, but I don't lend her any credability even though she lost her son.

(Did I say that out loud, just then?)

To quote one of the outstanding young political stalwarts of our time: "Hippies piss me off." Eric Cartman

BK I think it's very

BK I think it's very disrespectful to her son's memory for Sheehan to protest this way.  He made the choice and it seems to me she doesn't honor what he did. 

Agreed

Again, just a guess because clearly I don't know the woman, but I think she, as obviously deranged as she appears to be, can rationalize her son's death as a necessary sacrifice toward the greater good- that being her own importance.

As a Marine Corps Veteran myself, I know what her son was made of, and I'm sure that he was prepared to sacrifice for his true family, the USMC. Ronald Reagan once said, "Some people spend and entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem." I think that sums up this family to a tee.

BKey,

her husband divorced her over her antics, and the rest of the family dis-owned her.  In effect divorcing themselves from her, too.  So, no it doesn't sum up the family, just Cindy.  I'm sure that somewhere, Casey is just shaking his head sadly and wondering "WTF". 

Radical1979

  I actually have known the Sheehan family my whole life, and Cindy isn't too much different now as she always was.  Only louder.

Memory loss

You run out of words to describe these people and they keep getting worse but don't see it themselves.

How did America react back when Hillary (a white woman) tried to take over the healthcare industry when Bill (a white man) was President?  Was the opposition to it back then labelled racist? Or sexist?  No, it was opposition based in the belief that it is wrong to do, just as it is now.  The skin color of the person pushing it is irrelevant, but these beings are unable to grasp thoughts and are just governed by emotions and feelings.  It seems they know they are wrong but refuse to admit it and such a course usually causes someone in denial to lash out in anger and meanness at those around them who are doing the right thing.

What are you trying to do?

What are you trying to do? Make sense?

tired of liberal

tired of liberal lies

Common sense is a character trait most liberals lack along with finacial generosity, honesty, traditional values, and regular bathing.

Black Americans...

Black Americans are in a difficult place right now ala the OJ Simpson verdict.

They either support the plans and programs of the 1st black person elected to this country's top political office or disagree and possibly witness the failure of one of the group. Ouch!

Garofola knows all this and fans the flames of "us" and "them" to sell the relevance of herself.

First Wanda, now Janeane- is Rosie next?

Wouldn't it be technically correct to say we're half-racist?

Furthermore, I think she's probably plagiarizing her therapist's notes when she uses the term "functionally retarded adult."

'Jan, hon, we've seen this act before. Remember step three of the Anger Management Toolkit- "legitimate anger." You're projecting, again, your inner, suppressed anger that's been lingering since childhood. We've talked about this. Now, take a deep breath and take your Celexa before you embarrass yourself further.'

I often wonder if it is not

I often wonder if it is not a bit racist of our President to ignore the his white half.  After all, he considers himself black.  And his sister says he IS black because "that is how he has named himself."

has anyone else noticed

that the people who are shouting racism the loudest right now are mostly white liberals with the exception of the black guy on cnn. no al sharpton or rev. jackson? you would think with racism at these extreme levels that more black people would be speaking out.

I think Garafalo feels she has transcended "comedy" and is now a "social commentator". Having said that, have you noticed that a lot of shows, billed as "comedy", especially on HBO and cable, aren't even remotely funny? I suppose they're supposed to be ironic and not hah-hah funny, but you'd think if they're called "comedies" they'd draw at least a chuckle or a half grin and they don't. I just don't get their point - a non-humerous comedy?

I am going to protest to fox

I am going to protest to fox about her being in 24 I cannot  go another season watching that ugly bitch

24

One of the high points of 24 was when Jack Bauer verbally kicked her a$$ for being a whiny anti-American screw-up who supported terrorists and seemed intent on destroying America.  (A part that required zero acting on her part) 

Think of how high the ratings would be if Jack Bauer caught her involved in some treasonous activity and actually whacked her a$$. 

Re 24

It may be the show's strategy to purposely put someone in there for everyone to hate. Like with Elisha Cuthbert, Jack's insipid daughter, you tune in every week hoping she will be killed off. If that's the m/o, they picked up a good substitute for Elisha in Jeanine.

Looks to me

Looks to me like Garofalo could use more fiber in her diet.  A lot more.

So when Howard Dean..

So in 2004  when Howard Dean was screaming all around the country "I want my country back", he really meant he wanted his white guy back?  HUH?

Food for thought. If

Food for thought. If republicans are all racists and republicans steal elections, shouldn't the last election have had a happier ending. Evidently we aren't as good at stealing elections as we are given credit for.

 

 Courage is not the absence of fear, it's the mastery of it.

Yes, and Mitt Romney would

Yes, and Mitt Romney would have become the President.  But you see, that did not happen because a lot of Democrats and a few Republicans are prejudice against morons.  See, that is ok.  It is ok to be prejudice against a Protestant, a Catholic or a Mormon or a Republican that is white and a Republican that is black.  It is NOT ok to be prejudice against a Muslim, a Jew, a 'latino' or a black person.  It is also not ok to be prejudice against any Democrat. 

When you think about it, if anyone was "racist" it was the black folks that pooled together at over 90% and voted for a socialist simply because they believed he was black enough for them.  In other words, "anyone but whitey".

Eh, I would give you one

Eh, I would give you one thing:

Having met the man in Iowa, I can say that Ol' Mitt is probably the whitest dude ever :D And no, that's not the reason I volunteered for him.

By the way, I'm just waiting for the day when Krauthammer lowers the boom on this idiot -- can you imagine, the brilliant conservative psychiatrist unloading on the medically and politically illiterate Garafolo?

The righteous carnage would be surreal...

I think this putty muncher

I think this putty muncher needs to layoff preaching race relations.  I also think she is trying to save her failing career by continuously focusing in on white, Christian, conservative Republicans.  It is one thing to admonish a person for patently being a bigot.  Bigots do exist.  However, to continuously declare that anything and everything Republican conservatives do is "racist" is in and of itself stereotyping.  Anything can be construed a "code-word".  

King of Queens

King of Queens was one of my favorite shows and she actually did a bang-up job as a guest on one episode. Sadly, she played someone who no one could stand after being with her for five minutes.

she won't be receiving any from me.

I didn't say praying for her is easy

I didn't say praying for her is easy, because it isn't! So we have to remember what Jesus said:

Matthew 5:43-48

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighborh and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemiesi and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

I'm sorry, but for me as far as Garafalo...

is concerned, there is just nothing there worth praying for. She is a hate-filled and hateful person who truly believes what she says about anyone who is Republican, conservative, or who disagrees with her in any way. She wishes us all ill, and is not one bit sorry or repentent for any of evil bile that she has spewed, and until and unless there is a change in that, she'll get no prayers from me.

Nolo--

"King of Queens was one of my favorite shows and she actually did a bang-up job as a guest on one episode. Sadly, she played someone who no one could stand after being with her for five minutes."

I wonder why she was cast in that role.  And the director must've told her, "Just be yourself."

Jeaneanne

Whatever her name is. The media should leave her alone. She needs some real help. No one cares about her anymore. She was Seinfeld's bitch in the series and that is about it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...Janeane Garafalo...

is insane. This is a pathetically miserable, hate-filled and deeply disturbed woman. 

Now let's all sit back and wait to see if there is any forthcoming outrage from the Left about her calling people "retarded". Anybody care to make any bets on that one?? 

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

Jeanane Garofalo

Poor Jeanane.  Her tirades are becoming more and more psychotic.  This girl needs to be seriously evaluated by mental health professionals - and soon.  Before she inflicts violence upon herself or others.

Her thoughts are skin-pigment deep...

Sigh!

garofalo....

is a lot like the Panama Canal.....

busy ditch

OK, then

If it's OK to be as wrong and judgmental as you want, then why is it not OK to call her a semi-educated, failed standup and sometime actor (when she needs to pay her health insurance). I don't know on the reason she scratches for work (the health insurance), but I guess I can just say it anyhow. Everyone good with this?

Really the only thing I ever

Really the only thing I ever liked her in (and this includes Andy Dick) was "The Ben Stiller Show". Had a brief run on Fox back in the day (late 80's?) Both Garofalo and Dick were very funny and virtually unknown. It appears however that fame has treated neither with kindness, whether it was drugs, stress or who knows what it has appearantly driven both insane.

I read a book last year on SNL

..and the short time she was a cast member in the mid '90s, everyone on the show hated her because he was hard to work with and thought most of the humor they wanted to turn into sketches was below her dignity. Doesn't suprise me. And SNL is full of leftist writers in the capitol of leftists, NYC! What does that tell you if she wore out her welcome despite being in friendly territory?

look at that picture

did they air-brush the hell out of that or what? In real life she looks 100 times more skanky. Like a 40 something trying too hard to look like an 18 year old hipster. Her tattoos are gross too.

has had it's way with her brain!

Very sad.

Chloe will get

Crazy Left

Let's hope she continues to get mainstream air time.  She is classic representative of the crazy left wing democrats.  Those who agree with her are hopeless.  The rest of the country must witness the hatred.

Jack must have hit the hay. LOL.

I think PBUH means "Peace be upon him," because I believe I saw someone else use that awhile back...and I think it's a Muslim reference, as in a prophet -- so I think Jack was being sarcastic. ^_^

Footnote: For my own curiosity, I went to look this up, because I know there are some Bible references similar to this expression as well. But it does appear the "PBUH" refers to the Muslim expression and when it is used~

"two stolen elections - yes, the John Kerry one was stolen too. That's not tin-foil hat time. That's just..."

 

Uh, yeah, that IS tin-foil hat time.  She seriously is in need of an exorcism.  Foaming at the mouth is one of the signs.  We need to pray for her.  I'm not kidding.

 

 

"When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing -- they believe in anything."

The only 2 I can remember

I can only remember to stolen elections, recently at least, one was for the governors race in Washington State in 2006, and the other was in Minnesota this year, both by Democrats and the courts. 

That's the reason they're so upset about 2000, they were ready to steal that one and thought they had everything in place to get it done and the USSC wouldn't let them.  BOO HOO.

...and you can be danged sure they are ready to this again...it's in the planning...think of the ACORN census as well...and they only report to the WH with this...it's unbelievable the silence about this all in my opinion, there should be an uproar, outrage about this, at least from the repub side of the aisle in unison...at the Fox bully-pulpit to say the least.

Same as I have felt about the Czars...it's been basically silence.

Hmmm...

Let's see now...

A: Lousy Comic

B: Stunk on Saturday Night Live

C: Failed miserably as a radio talk show host on Air America

Well, she's either Al Frankens clone or she needs to be moving to Minnesota and running for the Senate. 

AmmoMan, you're right

I guess the next step for her is to run for political office.

Why would anyone give this

Why would anyone give this shell of a woman a forum. This failed talk show host is desperately trying to get her fifteen seconds of fame back. Color of the man's skin makes no difference to most of us Janine. You are just angry because we conservatives, (and independents who have finally seen the light) are stopping his socialist policies. Hey I have a great idea Janine, go apply to be cheif of staff for the Castro's or Hugo Chavez. Or better yet, you can be their minister of propaganda...um I mean information. No need for a resume, you are hired, now get out of our beloved country.

It is far better to be three hours early than one minute late.

why?!

I mean seriously - "why?!".

Really, is this the best

Really, is this the best this skank has got?  I sure would like to meet her and watch her melt down and start screaming gibberish whilst spitting flecks of foam in my direction. 

She is the kind of person you can rally de-rail in public.  I would laugh my ass off at her nuttiness. Just gig her every chance you get and never have to raise your voice.  She really is too easy a target.  The Libs had better trot out someone made of sterner stuff then her if they want to do battle.  I am convinced the whole damn bunch of 'em are exactly like her when you scratch the surface.  Really common people.  Nothing.  Adios.

CRex--

I'd be willing to bet there are few libs who wish she'd just shut up...kind of like I, as a Christian, often cringed when Jerry Falwell would open his mouth.

Garafalo is the REAL Racist

Normal
0

Here's the problem -- it’s called PROJECTION. Garafalo can only think
to blame the problems encountered with the clearly failure-bound Obama policies
on RACE. She can't believe that Socialism, in and of itself could possibly be
the reason for people's outrage -- because she really BELIEVES in Socialism.
What she does NOT believe in is that a BLACK GUY could properly articulateand execute  that
position ... and convince regular Americans (not counting Union thugs, welfare recipients,
and illegal nationals as "regular") to simply go-along. Garafalo
voted for a BLACK guy, to show HERSELF just how open-minded she could really
be! Garafalo is still trying to be someone other than herself -- to herself! Garafalo
can't believe that anyone could dislike Obama based on his policies ... 
because she only sees the goodness of those policies. So instead ... she
"projects" onto conservatives the only thing that actually makes
sense to her! ... RACE! For Garafalo, she's probably closeted her
racial-tension for her whole adult life ... but the truth comes out as she
projects her own inherent biases on everyone else. I love pizza, and I think
that everyone loves pizza, too. That's PROJECTION. She's no different -- only that she
sees that Obama's race MUST be the big hang-up. What makes the whole thing even
funnier is that Garafalo is a self-hating WHITE ... who probably loathes the
"white"-side of Obama as much as she hates his Black-ness.

I linked to a great atricle about Projection written by Sarah Thompson ...  about the Projection of anticipating violence from gun-owners with concealed-carry permits. The principle is that same with Racism:

  http://www.vcdl.org/new/raging.htm

She's really pathetic.

 

mclantiere

She is . . .

. . . . just a very greasy spot - without all of the explosives.

And Speaking Of Greasy

I feel unclean just reading what she says.

Is there any liberal who can detect the irony here?

"Do you remember tea baggers?" Garofalo said. "It was just so much easier when we could just call them racists. I just don't know why we can't call them racists, or functionally retarded adults."

So what’s stopping you? (Heh) My, my, it sounds as if somebody with at least a little connection to reality has tried to restrain Jeanane Garofalo, and keep her from making a complete fool of herself, which is apparently not easy.

Wow, Garofalo is disgusted with the liberal media, and actually thinks that was the basis for Bush’s support???

Where does she get her information? Ex nihilo? Out of her head? Is there any difference?

Isn’t it amusing how the liberals like to hold that only they are smart and that people who are not liberal are intellectually challenged? 

For what it is worth, Jeanane, I am confident that even I (who happen to be conservative) am definitely smarter than you.

We need Garofalo to give more interviews like this one, perhaps with more screeching and a little foaming at the mouth.

- Relying upon the State Run Media for your information is like relying upon an embezzler for your portfolio management.

I Just Now Realized

Janeane is a Real Live Troll.  Just like the Internet ones only she can be seen and heard.  And starved.

I used to like Garofalo's

I used to like Garofalo's comedy. I could do without some of the really, really liberal bits, but she had some great stuff about "event movies" and other topics.

BUT...she's lost her sense of humor. I can be interested in politics without completely losing my sense of fun. She's the way some people on this site are: convinced that the other side of the aisle is evil and ruining their lives.  

She needs something.

I certainly hope people didn't pay to go see this show. There is nothing worse than laying out good money to get some entertainment and then go into a show and have the person trying to show you how politically astute they are. 

Janeane needs to get laid or something, she just has a lot of pent up frustration that she needs to let loose of.  If she's incapable of that, perhaps she should take matters into her own hands.

It's too bad, before going politically crazy, she was a funny lady.

Funny!

You have to look at Garafolo with comedic lenses.  She is so dinged upside the head and its a riot

We could solve the deficit easily

Chain Garofalo naked in a cage, allow her to sit in her own feces and let people feed her by throwing rotten garbage at her for 5 dollars a pop.  I know I'd spend at least 10,000.00 for the privilege.

Hey Janeane, these Tea Parties and Town Hall meetings are the real deal! You had better get used to it! Your anger and rage betray you! ;-)

We're beginning to beat them at their own game!

Sven

Yup, they don't know real anger and rage. They constantly let out little hissy fits here and there. Meanwhile, ours has been building for awhile now, starting with the latter years of W's administration for many of us. 

Yeah, they don't know, but they soon will. :)

Hey bt,

You know, I used to catch her and Sam Sedar on my XM Radio a few years back. These were the meanest, most rage filled people you could ever listen to. I believe even some on the left get tired of this 24/7 rage.

Their rage tells us volumes! ;-)

BT, it's funny really

The left's constant hand wringing and harangueing are only effective when they are not in power. They have shown over and over again that all they can do is protest. 

Now that there are protests based in fact and constitutionality, they are confused and confounded. So they shout "racists" and other bs because they have to real argument. It's actually funny to watch.

I'll bet good money that ZERO never saw this coming!

I see major changes coming, starting in November, 2010. If the liberals thought 1994 was bad...well, they ain't seen nothing yet.

floundering?

Hate to spoil your party, Sven; but they've already spent our grandchildren's paychecks on politicially-targeted corporate handouts and other sources of pork, and lined us up for a cap-and-trade scam that will leave our economy in ruins if fully implemented.

If they "flounder" much more than this, we could really be in trouble...

Exactly.  They're not used

Exactly.  They're not used to anyone not being in lock step with their liberal gods and it doesn't make sense to them.  It's gotta be something OTHER than the issues, to them

Garafalo IS A PIECE OF STEAMING SHIT. What this turd perhaps fails to realize in her syphilis racked, walnut sized brain, is that I hate her even more than she hates me. And I urge YOU to hate her as well. 

squirt!

Janeane's as nauseating as the concept of Diarrhea-and-Vomit gravy.

She sure as hell isn't worth wasting a single breath trying to sustain a good hatred of her, though.  Seems like nature already hates her enough for both of us.

tired of liberal

tired of liberal lies

What is with the left constantly mocking those who disagee with them by comparing them with those who are mentally handicap?  The retarded jokes seemed to begin with Trig Palen and Obama jumped on the bandwagon so now we can't seem to go a week without some lefty taking a dig at those less fortunate. 

Stunned

What you have to realize is the liberals are the compassionate ones. They are not racists, despite what history tells us. 

So, if they mock the less fortunate, it is out of compassion. 

Jeez, get with the program will ya!??!?!? ;)

wrong picture?

Who is that in the image in the video box?  Janeane Grease-alo never looked that good, even before she graduated from semi-Goth to full-skank.  (Perhaps it's been air-brushed or PhotoShopped enough to be completely unrecognizable.)

Janeane belongs in the same 'disgusting hysteria' category as Rosie and Whoopi. I'd love to get a dog, just to train it to crap on their pictures on-cue.

If Jeanane Garofalo wasn't so attractive, I wouldn't listen to

her diatribe. But with a combination of beauty, hot body, and silky voice, Jeanane Garofalo takes my breath away. Moreover, I don't think I'm alone in this opinion. I'm almost certain that most of the guys here at NewsBusters also find her attractive.

So until she gets older and loses her beauty, I'm going to put up with her abusive speech.

It's late and I'm going to call it a day, as I have got to get up early tomorrow. I've got an early appointment with an eye, ear and nose specialist. As is common with people my age, my eye sight and hearing are slowly deteriorating.

QueenMum.....Thanks for the link. It's encouraging to know that

a person's personality (inner beauty) is important when choosing a friend or a mate. I read somewhere that another characteristic important to women is a man's height. Women prefer tall men; hence, the short guy with the really terrific personality is still at a disadvantage with most women.

Let's see

this bimbo has no talent, is not funny, is homely as a mud hen and is a virulent pustule on the posterior of society.  Why should we listen to her or her ilk?   Why should we even care what this piece of trash has to say?   Why am I wasting my time and Newsbusters electrons to distribute it?   CUZ it is fun to bash this clown and her ilk!!!!

I have no use for liberal thinking - it is just so......passe.

Healthcare definitely needs reform

Can anyone explain how this woman(?) was allowed to escape her rubber room? Her meds are definitely not working and she still has psychotic episodes. We should all be worried when someone like that is allowed on stage in the very city where Comrade President Obama lives! Just who is running the asylum these days?

wee weed

 I guess it's safe to say she's all "wee weed" up about something, but i will Pray for her; i Pray, "Lord have mercy on her soul and open and tender her heart towards You so that she may receive forgiveness and mercy and find the solace and peace and strength from Your Love to do good in this world and not harm, Amen". " Not my will Father, but Thine be done"

What becomes of her is between her and God, in the meantime i will stand against every wrong thing she says and supports and take any action i can to remove her from her position of influnence.

What? A leader of the Obama-ites, jubilant after the '08 election, and inauguration day, and well into the first few months of Obama's presidency, is soul sick about current developments? The evil little princess is very angry. That's the way evil little princesses get when they don't get their way. When they realize there's other kids in the game. I'm not a schadenfreuder, but I don't feel bad about Ms. Garofalo's pain.

Bamster has Brought Racism Back

Never heard so much race talk in my life (50 years of it) as I do since the appearance of Obama on the national scene. He wasn't the first Black presidental candidate.  The  left-media deems it impossible for Blacks to be conservative [or to recognize their own ability to survive  without government assistance].  Obamedia gives right-wing people of color less credence than space aliens and ghosts.   

As for the teabagging comments from the left....... that's their guys fantasizing about our guys,  all for naught.

I blogged well before the election that if elected any opposition to Obama for any reason would be labeled racist. I think I was on the money on this one.

So what was "I want my country back" code for when Howard Dean said it at every speech he made in his failed presidential bid?

Oh I guess since he was a liberal it was code for "I love America?" like anyone would believe that.

Note her all-purpose slam-apology, too: "No offense to the mentally challenged; I don't want to get them into this.  They seem like nice people.  Very affable--like the Amish."

Great material ya got there, Jane Anne.  I put the other "n" back in, 'cause it clearly stands for "nonhumorous".

Because WE tolerate it.   When we're ready to make enough noise as libnuts do when things like this happen, it will stop and will no longer be considered "OK".
