Rednecks
Right Bias ^ | Oct. 28, 2009 | Nancy Morgan

Posted on 10/29/2009 4:40:01 AM PDT by econjack

In a much publicized rant that sent chills up the legs of millions of liberals, oops, progressives, Janeane Garofalo emphatically exercised her opinion of the millions of 'tea-party' protestors: "This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism, straight up. Its is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks."

Anyone who has read Thomas Sowell's Black Rednecks and White Liberals, knows that Garofalo's statement is either demonstrably false, or just plain racist...

Be sure to watch the video that is referenced in the text. Why anyone who still has two neurons firing would even listen to Garofalo is beyond me.

Interesting that you mention hate crimes since the Congress just passed more “hate crime” legislation for gays. Yet, the loony left persists in using a disgusting gay term for tea party attendees. These people are stomach churning in their hypocrisy.

Liberals throw around labels as fast as they print money.

Sowell,... actually documents the origins and evolution of the redneck culture. He makes the excellent, and unchallenged point that the inner-city culture celebrated by many blacks today is, in fact, derived directly from the redneck culture - which had its origins in England.

If I recall correctly, James Webb makes the same point in Born Fighting.

You’re right. How come someone doesn’t arrest her for hateful speech? Where is the hate crime legislation protecting us rednecks? Sure, I have a college degree, even two Masters degrees, married, two kids, a dog, house in the ‘burbs, white collar job, attend a Christian Church regularly ... Yet I still have a little “redneck” in me and I’m {expletive} proud of it!

Well I think it is about time we take a look at the fine print in all this hate crime legistation to see if we can use it to our advantage to counter the lib and black hate speech.

garafollo is popular with the media becuase they are all alike. Our grandparents were right about you can judge someone by the company they keep. Kind of like the guy who plays president on tv.

Remember when liberals believed that being prejudiced was wrong? Garf obviously thinks she knows what conservatives and southeners think and can’t be bohtered with facts.

Garofalo’s ugly drugs have made it to the remnants of her brain. The rot is complete and she has earned a PHD in Dumb!!!

Anyone who listens to her is either dumber, having a slow day, or is staring at the sun trying to make out the individual sunspots!!

Appalling racism from Garofalo.

I have heard it said before: the biggest characteristic of a liberal is hypocrisy.

Absolutely correct. She’s clearly an idiot.

She’s mad because she’s never been tea-bagged. No one’s every been drunk enough to even bothering trying.

There is absolutely NO WAY this law will be applied in any way except against white straight Christians.

No charges will EVER be filed against a minority or a homo for “hate crimes”, no matter how blatant.

You are probably right. I haven’t actually seen what Hate Crime legislation O actually signed yesterday. Surprise, surprise, eh? I wonder if he saw it?
