Kook Actress Garofalo: Tea Parties Were About Hating the Black Man
You may have missed this.
It was on Keith Olbermann's show.
Actress Janeane Garofalo said the Tax Day Tea Party protests were really about hating the black man in the White House.
How original. The 8 minute long hate-filled rant is Here.
The Washington Times reported:
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.
The actress went on to describe the brain size of typical "right-winger, Republican or conservative or your average white power activist."
"Their synapses are misfiring. ... It is a neurological problem we are dealing with," she said. This isn't the first time she's offered this analysis, either. Ms. Garofalo said similar things about Alaskan GOP Governor Sarah Palin's brain last February in an interview with an environmental blog.
What a disgusting bunch... They're cracking sick sex jokes, calling fiscal conservatives neo-Nazis or calling them racists.
The Left has really outdone itself this week.

RE: Medford, Oregon Tea Party - all peaceful except for this fool.[snip]
Michael Niehaus says [he] is the opposition. He says, “It seems like the Republican Party is just beeting their fists. They’re just so mad about a president of color and it’s tough for the blue-eyes to handle that. They’re just mad.”
Historically, this is the normal attitude of leftists, as far as how they portray those with whom they disagree. The Soviet Union would declare political opponents insane, and lock them in asylums. Or, if they could get away with it, they would just have them murdered. Don't kid yourself. JG, KO, and many on the left would have those with whom they disagree sent off to camps for "reeducation" or death. Their level of hatred for those with whom they disagree has no bounds.

If Obama held views like J.C. Watts, you and I would be supporting him. These racially based comments are straight out of Alinky’s disruption bible, Rules for Radicals. Disgusting.
I wonder how JG explains the presence of so many blacks at the Tea Parties.
Maybe zero can bang her a few times to shut her the eff up
What’s really a hoot is the guy is whiter than me, but he was trying to sound like he was ‘black’...even the transcript was screwed up with his ‘ebonics’. What a shame when a man has so little respect for his own identity that he acts to be something else.
Scary, D1, downright scary.
I couldn’t agree more from your description. Black is certainly in these days. While I am glad some respect comes their way, if it’s going to result in a man consummately unqualified to hold the job he is elected to, then this has turned destructive. I can’t support that.
I wonder if Olbermann and his nitwit fans know that JG's beliefs on "neurology" come from her studies of Scientology.
Lord Xenu, standing up for the Democrat Party.
No kidding. I wonder how long it’s been since she removed her eye makeup?
Wait a minute... I thought they were based on hatred of CNN and love for Fox. Huh????
The poor thing. Seriously.
That is a famous style in Hollywood created by a famous stylist.

One of Garofalo's (the genius) tattoos up close. She needs to bathe better she has pimples on her arm.
On the Frank DeCaro Show on Sirius OutQ yesterday, perky Kristin Chenoweth was joined by the more worldly Janeane Garofalo, who told the Broadway/TV star exactly what teabagging is. Well, DeCaro explained the more popular usage—”It’s when you put your b*lls in someone’s mouth”—while Garofalo filled her in on the teabagging protest against the White House by “literally tens of people.”
JG: But [the protest] has nothing to do with anything factual, it has everything to do with their distaste for the black man in the White House.
KC: That is so ugly.
JG: I hear after the tea bag, there was a lot of balls...a lot of dance, I’m sorry, a lot of dance dances.
KC: I was going to say a lot of tennis balls?
KC: I’m never going to be able to have a thing of tea again, I’m so upset. I can’t. Thanks a lot, Janeane.
JG: I’m going to have my assistant tea bag you! I actually don’t have an assistant, I get my own tea, and when I get tea-bagged it’s by ladies and fellas I’m not working with...
KC: You see why I love her?

Janeane Garofalo snubs Rush Limbaugh, Lynne Cheney on ‘24’ set: Right on
Janeane Garofalo drew a fair amount of unwarranted flack a couple years ago when she dared to take a role on 24, a show whose torture-filled plotlines don’t quite match up with her own well-known progressive views. Now that same old non-issue is back in the news because Garofalo has told The Village Voice that she snubbed such fine Americans as Rush Limbaugh and Lynne Cheney when they visited the set of 24. “I refused to have my picture taken with them or meet them or anything,” Garofalo recalled. “When somebody came to me privately and said ‘do you want to meet them?’, I said absolutely not.” Good for her! The fact that Garofalo acts in an apparently right-leaning fictional television show does not obligate her to get pals-y in real life with the likes of Limbaugh and Cheney.

Garofalo Calls TEA Party Participants Redneck Racists
Janeane Garofalo appeared on Keith Olbermann’s show last night to discuss the TEA Party rallies held on April 15th. During the show, Garofalo said:
“. . . Let’s, let’s be very honest about what this is about. It’s 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. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. And there is no way around that. And you know you can tell these type of right-wingers anything and they’ll believe it except the truth . .
Watch the video at link below...

In an interview with the Village Voice yesterday, Garofalo discusses the apparent disconnect between her politics and the show’s, saying, “At first I passed on it because of the right-wing nature of a couple of the writers.”
Eventually, however, Garofalo relented. “There’s only one or two right-wingers in the whole show, in the writer’s room. There’s nobody else whose opinions reflect that in the cast or the crew. And then midway through when I was working there the main right-winger left the show anyway,” she says.
Here, she is referring to series creator Joel Surnow. In the interview, Garofalo is complimentary of Surnow, however she draws the line at set visits from his pals, Rush Limbaugh and Lynne Cheney.
‘Absolutely not.’ But I would never have made a big show of it and embarrassed people who worked there. Not that they were interested in meeting me. And, to tell you the truth, I doubt that Lynne Cheney even knew who I was.”

Fox’s ‘24’ Takes a Turn Left
by Christian Toto
04/08/2009
Fans of the Fox smash “24” should have known something was up when uber-liberal actress Janeane Garofalo got added to the cast for season seven.
In reality, change was afoot before the first episode of new season aired. Joel Surnow, one of the key players behind the series and, that rarity in Hollywood, an admitted conservative, announced he was leaving the show.
Would “24,” embraced by the right for its unflinching assault on terrorism and lack of moral hand wringing, lose its edge?
The answer took a while, but the last few episodes revealed the likely answer.
The villain of the day for season seven isn’t a Middle Eastern terrorist or even a rogue president. It’s a Blackwater-style military outfit called Starkwood.
The Fox thriller endeared itself to conservatives by tackling terrorism head on and making few, if any apologies, for the steps hero Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) took to protect American lives.
In an age when Hollywood would rather cast a CEO, or a redneck, as a villain instead of an Islamic radical, “24” told stories based on today’s headlines — not the ones liberals prefer to read.
But now, with Surnow gone and the show’s creative energy flickering, the series had to fall back on a reliable villain by industry standards.
It took awhile before the news trickled into the show itself. Surnow worked on the first batch of episodes, and the current Starkwood plotline wasn’t ready to be sprung quite yet. It’s common for the show to hide its cards until the day in question is close to an end.
Now, we can see the hand “24” dealt its loyal audience.

Pray for her-—she’s a lost, delusional soul professing ‘wisdom’ but is a prating fool in need of spiritual renewal. Holy Spirit reclaim her from the evil one!
