THE STAR TREATMENT Actress Janeane Garofalo: Jail all Republicans Activist says GOP 'small-minded,' only Democrats 'decent'
The latest "Real Time with Bill Maher" show erupted into a vicious 4-against-1 bashfest of conservative columnist John Fund and Republicans in general, culminating in one left-leaning guest on the panel calling for all Republicans to be "jailed."
From the start of the HBO show, Hollywood activist Janeane Garofalo, a Barack Obama supporter, expressed agitation over the overnight national popularity of GOP vice presidential nod Gov. Sarah Palin, who has helped running mate John McCain pull within the statistical margin of error of Obama in many polls.
Garofalo ridiculed her as an empty pantsuit who lacks a firm grasp of the issues.
Fund defended Palin and her experience and warned that such Palin-bashing will only create a backlash in the heartland against Democrats. "Keep it up," he taunted Garofalo and other critics on the panel.
"You guys are the kings of petty, nasty rhetoric," Garofalo snapped at Fund, who writes for the Wall Street Journal.
She then slammed the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., as a gathering of "small-minded, very petty (and) mean" delegates and speakers who simply grinded out "red meat" for the "dopes" in the red states.
"It's all limbic brain stuff," she said.
Continuing her rant, Garofalo asserted that Republicans believe in nothing decent and should all be locked up.
"There is no evidence to support that the current incarnation of the Republican Party-hyphen-conservative movement has any tethering to decency, kindness, tolerance (or) open-mindedness," she said. "What do they stand for? Torture as a policy. They stand for homophobia. They stand for no reproductive justice. They stand for denying global warming."

I love stories like this...the more Hollyweird talks, the better for us.
Well now THAT’S “open-minded” of her...
So she claims all republicans should be jailed because they have “no tolerance”. Wow. I’m surprised the cognitive dissonance on that one didn’t tear a hole in the space-time continuum.
Well, there she goes again.
Good luck getting half the electorate in jail.
I don’t get it. She wants to lock up republicans and take away their rights, but she wants to grant the right to “reproductive justice” to women who want to deny the right to live to an unborn child—am I missing something?
Actress?...since when?
Some people just never get the memo that their 15 minutes of fame are over.
What is their stance on cardiopulmonary temperance?
Or sartorial fortitude, for that matter?
Nothing one-sided about THAT rant....
That is just naked prejudice, not unlike the spew that used to be associated with racial epithets. Not based on any logic, or even any direct contact with Republicans anytime over the past twenty-plus years.
She's a little brownshirt trash talking fascist, for sure.
Anyone else notice how unattractive and vile these “women” always are. Crude, crass and simply ugly.
“Reproductive Justice”??? What the hell is that?
You mean justice like: If you sleep around like a dirty whore, you get punished with a baby?
Why would anyone vote for the Democratic Party?
DEMOCRATS: Supported slavery
REPUBLICANS: Abolished slavery
DEMOCRATS: Created Jim Crow Laws
REPUBLICANS: Abolished Jim Crow Laws
DEMOCRATS: Voted barely 50% to pass Civil Rights Act of 1964
REPUBLICANS: Voted over 80% to pass Civil Rights Act of 1964
DEMOCRATS: Continue enslavement via the narcotic welfare plantation for votes.
REPUBLICANS: Color blind and judge people by individual merit and effort.
The Democratic Party has a horrific history and continue that record even
today.
Oops...
She said in a petty, nasty, rhetorical voice . . . .
I don’t want to be petty here but I am fed up with these Hollyweird and Musician brainiacs. Wouldn’t it be great if all Conservatives stop going to their movies and or buying/downloading their music.
“You guys are the kings of petty, nasty rhetoric,” Garofalo snapped
...
In the history of language, this statement must be very close to the all time world record for hypocrisy.
Unreal.
When did she ever have her 15 minutes in the first place, it sure as hell wasn’t her flop radio show on Air America?
