Are you a conservative? Then you're a d***, and there's something wrong with your brain. At least that's what "24" actress and comedienne Janeane Garofalo believes. According to the former Air America radio host, a conservative starts out an a**hole, and the politics come later. She asserted, The reason a person is a conservative republican (sic) is because something is wrong with them...It really is neuroscience. In this February 12 interview with the environmentalist celebrity blog Ecorazzi, Garofalo also claimed the irrational emotion center of the brain, the limbic system, is what creates conservatives (text reformatted, profanity edited, all bold mine):
Sarah Palin didn't escape Garofalo's ire either. She said Palin is "small-minded and mean-spirited" and is what the Republican Party has become: obstructionist, contrarians, small-minded, all of these things (sic). Garofalo raved that "[t]here's definitely something wrong" with Palin, and she's successful with some Americans "because she represents that lesser segment of the country. It's about people's lesser nature...
Ecorazzi then dangled some bait:
Maybe a 9/11 conspiracy theorist who is fond of angry, vitriolic outbursts should take a look at the limbic system in her own brain for the excessive emotion and fright that she attributes to the right.
Garofalo also attacked Republican beliefs from Ronald Reagan forward, railing, "Their policies have destroyed us and most of the world--that's a fact not an opinion." She was baffled that conservative republicans (sic) (her sneer quotes) are allowed to participate in politics, asking why do they still get a say? That certainly isn't very inclusive. She also seemed a little confused about the difference between fact and opinion. When discussing politics and neuroscience, perhaps Garofalo was referring to several questionable studies that tried to link political beliefs to the brain or childhood, or perhaps she was just projecting her own personal demons onto conservatives. One thing is for sureshe didn't get the message from the left that we are all supposed to put politics aside and come together for the good of the country. How obstructionist, "contrarian[] and small-minded. |
wow good to know she really understands the basis for democracy there.
why do they still have a say?
what a statement...
good to know the democrats are still the same old slavery party they always were...
Wow. That’s some serious projection going on there. She should really seek some therapy.
She su—s as an actress and this lack of talent and ability is not changed on ‘24.’ Why they hired such a blowhard that can’t act is beyond me. Nearly didn’t watch this year for this reason. Why give the whacky libs anything anymore?
heavy or skinny this woman is not attractive in any way. I can’t wait until she is killed off on ‘24.’
Rush Limbaugh should go visit the “24” set again, and then punch her.
An ugly, bitter and lonely woman lashing out in a “safe” direction. A specimen to be pitied.
It would make me so happy so see Garafolo’s character outed as the traitor in the FBI and (hopefully) shot.
I hope that when she’s killed off on “24”, someone “accidentally” loads the gun with real bullets.
:-).
Oh, is that what Liberals are?
Alinsky-ites at the Gates of Talk Radio
Christian broadcasters fear Fairness Doctrine return
What this woman really fears are people who believe in God, and profess the truth.
AWWWWKKKK!!!!
Take it away!!!
My eyes!!!!
Thanks for the post. That was quite a lovely rant Ms. Garofalo went on. For the record, I have no knowledge of how the brain actually works, with Ms. Garofalo’s intellect perhaps she could better serve humanity in some other field. I will attest to the following, as I am not completely ignorant.
1- I am a Conservative because it is fairly simple to see what works and what doesn’t.
2- I am a Conservative because I realize some things are black and white. That means Ms. Garofalo, I have a rudimentary concept of right and wrong.
3- I used to be a democrat, but I grew up. Adults discuss and reason, children go on childish rants.
We can all certainly disagree about issues, but when someone refers to me as a d-—, they usually don’t have anything to throw at me but names. They can’t counter my ideas with reasonable responses, they have to take it down to the gutter. That kind of describes the “new” democratic party, doesn’t it?
She looks like the 14 baby pig. Check the lips....
Who??
the environmentalist celebrity blog Ecorazzi
What?
Of course she hasn't, she'd have to be able to read.
To hell with her and any project she is on.
I watched every season of 24. When I heard that she was going to be on this season I wrote the show off and will not watch a single episode.
I wondered if I would be able to watch 24 but she is SO SO ugly in it it is not hard at all.
What an articulaate spokesmen for the jack asses

This is good news. This should mean that we are now a protected class!
From now on, we are covered under the Americans With Disabilities Act, hate crime laws and EEOC standards.
Hell, we should even get special handicap parking spots up front at the grocery store!
Janeane Godawfulho
Hey, Jane-anne. Being called an ahole by a c*** like you I wear like a badge of honor. I used to try to be a nice guy. Now my goal is to piss you off until your talentless life is miserable.
She's as ugly as a wet poodle, but that's not the worst part.
She cannot act! Not even a little. You can practically see the strain on her face as she tries to remember the lines that are robotically coming out of her mouth.
And that acting range! Yawzaa! She can express any emotion from worried concern to concerned worry, and everything in between.
At least she's surly and stupid in her personal life, so she has that going for her.
The best part for me was when she spoke of, ahem, “self-flatulation.” What she must have meant would be self flagellation. But while most liberals, scratched, reveal closet aristocrats, this one, while belittling others, reveals someone lucky to escape fourth grade grammar lessons. I’d say she’s guilty of “sef-flatulation” herself.
Yeah. I’m hoping she turns out to be the anti-American traitor, you know, playing to type.
Bugs Bunny said it best; What a maroon!
Unfortunately, there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that prohibits stupidity.
5.56mm
and I say she cannot understand normal thinking and causes unnecessary needless turmoil.
I hope she turns out to be a mole and Jack Bauer has to rip out her tongue and cut a couple fingers off.........before he runs her over with an SUV.
Hehe. I can’t say that I disagree!
She just needs to get laid, but cant find anyone who is willing to listen to that mouth long enough to get the job don.
LMAO!
Janeane IS an expert! She’s famous!
You remember the great Hollywood acorn: “I’m famous, therefore, I’m smart!”
;-)
Had the first 5 episodes DVR'ed ... saw her and erased them.
“Garofalo say GOPers are A**holes”
She might be right. But, she doesn’t take into account that Liberal Democrats like killing babies, like stealing other people’s money by increasing taxes, like to behave like ill-mannered psyhotic punks to get power, like to say they’re compassionate but will destroy anyone who stands in their way in a New York minute, who like to characterize the founding fathers as old, dead slave owners, who like to indoctrinate young people and give them low grades when they’re not in agreement with Liberal dogma, who worship murderers like Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, Josef Goebbles, Che Guevara, Mao Tse Tung and others, who like not paying their taxes, who like intolerance directed toward those who disagree with them.
It might be true that GOPers are A**holes but Liberal Democrats go a few steps further and make the word A&&hole seem to be a compliment in light of their antics.
IMHO
I’ve been watching ‘24’ this season and I’ve got to say . . . . Garofalo is a talentless hack. She’s the worst actor in the show, and it’s not even a close call.
She’s a major f**ktard.
“You cannot be well adjusted, open-minded, pluralistic, enlightened and be a republican. Its counter-intuitive. And they revel in their anti-intellectualism. They revel in their cruelty.”
Janeane,I thought you reveled in celebrating diversity????.......
Liberal definition of open-minded:
agreeing and accepting that all progressive opinions are non-negotiable
Bye Bye 24......
She is the weakest actress on 24. Did love the fact that she had to hide a torturer. The irony was perfect. Guess her morals stop at the paycheck.
Pray for America, Our Troops and obama’s Guidance
“Wow. Thats some serious projection going on there. She should really seek some therapy.”
Ya think? She’s a barely coherent, drug addled mess calling us defective. =)
The limbic brain thing is one of Zsa Zsa Huffington’s favorite though.
