By now most everyone is aware of the comments Ms. Garofalo made regarding those Americans that are fed up with taxes, government waste, intrusions into privacy and are uniting against the bailouts and Barack Obama’s health care scheme. She feels in her infinite wisdom that if you are opposed to Obama’s policies, it’s because you’re racist.
I’m not afraid of being called a racist. Those who don’t know me have called me many things over the course of my life. Being called a name doesn’t make it true. And I’m not some thin-skinned twit that lets words and vapid arguments get to me. But I thought it might be somewhat educational, as well as entertaining, to delve into the twisted logic that liberals such as Ms. Garofalo use in order to come up with these inane conclusions and spew those stupid comments.
First let’s get one thing established and out of the way. Liberalism and the support of socialistic and fascist ideals is not something that is inherently black. If it were, then Hitler would have necessarily been a black man. The same would have to be true with Stalin and Mao. Furthermore, all blacks would have to adhere to those principles. Likewise, all whites would have to be against them. Only then it could seriously be referred to as a racial disagreement. I know this is being somewhat simplistic, but if I get too intellectual about it any liberals reading this would get lost.
Under Janeane Garofalo’s logic, in order for her to agree with Barack Obama she needs to be black herself. The only other logical conclusion following this path is that she actually disagrees with Barack Obama and is therefore a racist, but is just too afraid to come out and admit it. Additionally, any blacks that disagree with a white man are by definition racists. At this point we run into the problem of what to do with the blacks that don’t agree with other blacks, or the whites that don’t agree with other whites.
When you look at the disagreements she had with George W. Bush, and things she called him, since they are both white it obviously couldn’t have been because of racism. It would have had to been due to sexism on her part. But we still have that annoying issue with not all women thinking the same, or all men having identical ideals.
Here comes the great liberal answer to those pesky situations. Blacks that don’t agree with liberal philosophies are not really black. Apparently white men and women that disagree are also not really white, or female I would have to assume. What passes for liberal logic tends to vaporize when truth is introduced. So what we’re left with is what conservatives knew all along. The debate is about ideologies, not race or gender. Unfortunately for liberals, their ideology is based on emotion, not thought, therefore they can’t win honest debates of ideas. That is why they concocted this fanciful rant about who is or isn’t true to their race based on the individual’s opinion.
Ms. Garofalo has also made a statement opining that black republicans must suffer from the Stockholm Syndrome, inferring that they have developed a loyalty to their captor, the Republican Party. Ms. Garofalo cannot make that statement and be considered a true student of history. If any party is holding black Americans hostage, it’s the Democrats. It was the Republicans that led the charge on abolishing slavery and establishing civil rights for African-Americans. The Democrats fought to keep slavery legal and battled against every civil rights bill presented until President Johnson persuaded his party to go along with the Republicans on civil rights. Even then the southern Democrats tried to filibuster the legislation. The party as a whole has been trying to keep the blacks on the plantation ever since.
So we’re left with the original question asked in the title of this article. Is Janeane Garofalo a racist, sexist or just an idiot? She agrees with some of the black population so she isn’t racist. She agrees with a portion of the male population, so she isn’t a sexist. Logically speaking, in the end we must conclude that Janeane Garofalo is apparently is just another left wing, liberal idiot.
Janeane Garofalo: Racist, Sexist AND Just Plain Idiot.
They have to say something. The racist charge is a good weapon IF enough people fall for it. The problem is that the tactic is so over used it is less effective.
somebody get the clip of Jack Bauer dressing her down
all 3.
From the things she says, probably all three.
*LOL*>....who do you think is more embarrassed about that pic?

One of the main reasons Soros and the bunch chose Obama was so that they can claim racism every time someone disagrees with the Obamessiah.
She’s got all those stupid tattoos... Uggghhh.
Janeane Garofalo is a Racist, Sexist, Idiot, skank!
Exactly! They will find out the limits of White Guilt. That ran deep enough to elect him. Let’s see how far down the razor blade people are willing to slide.

Those aren’t mutually exclusive.
I’d suggest throwing in “ugly as the east end of a westbound jackass” too.
After the Crowley incident where the race card was turned on the racist who in this instance, was the black man and the media half-assed but begrudgingly followed, there’s still hope for the country.
To call her an idiot is an insult to idiots everywhere
>> who do you think is more embarrassed about that pic?
Probably the creator... it’s actually pretty bad Photoshop! ;-)

We’ve all woken up in bed with a creature that we barely knew the night before and regret in that moment.
Stupid question... is that real? Rush WAS dating a CNN anchor IIRC.
