Had never even heard of Janeane Garofalo, before this comment was made…. of course, I’d never heard of CNN “reporter” Susan Roesgen, either, until her “interview” with one of the tax day protesters. I don’t know if they honestly don’t get it, or do, and have no rational arguement for their own positions. A shame they resorted to mindless rants. They’ve had their 15 minutes of fame and publicity, but the opposition to governmental mismanagement will continue.

I attended one of the tea parties… saw NO racist signs… heard no vitriol… there was Zero mention of CNN. The crowd was composed of ordinary people.. all ages… beleaguered taxpayers, freedom loving Americans, who know that they have been ripped off, and see government intruding into every facet of their lives….They are alarmed. These folks are not “career protesters” or blind followers of any celebrity, organization, or party. They share a passionate concern for the future of this country, and respect for the Constitution on which it stands.

The country is more polarized now than ever… the divide is not along racial lines. It is about government overstepping it’s Constitutionally defined role. It’s about the unaccountability and unresponsivenness of Congress. It is about illogical and damaging policies from Cap and Trade to the bailout. We’re not rioting…. not breaking windows… not taking up arms… we’re simply trying to unite so we can be heard. It’s maddening that most of the media chooses to mischaracterize the message and show disdain for participants. I expect the grassroots opposition to the coming onerous taxaction, staggering spending, and ultimate collapse of the USD, will continue and grow. I hope it does! We’ll be happy to go back home and get on with our lives as soon as our voices are heard and heeded.

[...] all read American Girl In Italy’s takedown of Janeane Garofalo in “‘this is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks’.” Now, via The Right Scoop, we have a mash-up of Ms. Garofalo’s wildly inconsistent [...]

Yes, he did start the race baiting — this falls squarely on his shoulders. I agree with you. I am merely pointing out that Ms. Garafolo considers him such a hero, yet she is inadvertently insulting him with this line of hate tripe that she is spewing, because it indicates that she doesn’t think he has anything else to offer either, nor does she think he can withstand honest criticism. Ironic.

(((CHEERING))) It is so wonderful to read your sentiments. I am proud that people are finally standing up for themselves, their principles, and their individual freedom to THINK. Bravo to you and to everyone on this board who refuses to become one of the ØBorg.

I am a person of color and a lifelong Democrat, and I REFUSE to let people call me a racist because I don’t agree with Ø’s policies or admire him for his nonexistent accomplishments.

The same way I was proud to see Americans come together after 9/11, perhaps the tragic events of the 2008 election will wake us up. The boom decades have made us all complacent and it’s time for a 60s style revolution.

why is it when we criticize men we hate or don’t like, we do it without commenting on how ugly he looks but we don’t do that with women. Please stop the sexist jokes. By all means criticize her harshly, ridicule her just avoid making a sexist joke.

Can we please not attack a woman on her sexuality or use sex to attack her. women are always attacked using their sexuality, sex jokes don’t hurt men the way they hurt women. This was used on even Hillary Clinton, so even though you may say you are only attacking Garafolo, but it is all women. There were so many jokes sexualising and objectifying Hillary and Sarah during the campaign that it is not right to criticise a woman you do not like this way.

By all mean hate garafolo, criticize her harshly. But just like it is not right to criticize a man of color using racist jokes, it is not right to criticize a jew using anti-semitic joke, it is not right to critize a woman using sexist jokes. I am of course not accusing anyone here of making a racist joke, but this joke made by rickrickrick and I’mFedUp is sexist. So please ridicule her in some other way, just don’t be sexist.

I don’t think that it is insulting to Obama. He started and baited the racism as a means to an end. To act above it all now is disingenuous.

>>> “Look, look over there, it’s a puppy!”

Or, as we say around here: “Look! It’s a Bullet Train!”

Nothing distracts the body politic quite like a puppy or a monorail, eh?

Such an ungrateful little pig and yes I want her CHARACTER to die a slow, painful death on 24. It should have been her not you-know-who.

Garafolo is as unintelligent as she is untalented and unattractive. She’s as bad a political pundit as she was a standup comedienne and actress. It’s obvious she’s the one who doesn’t know what the Boston Tea Party was all about. I think a good old ‘carbon tax’ should be slapped on her since she
puts out enough CO2 to bring up the average temp by by a few degrees.

One day when she’s finished basking in her exaggerated sense of self-importance she may look back at her life and realize that in the grand scheme of things she was nothing more than hot gas.
