Garofalo: No Protest, but Confronted…
Unfortunately, Garofalo did not experience the backlash that would have been humorous to watch. I do enjoy comedy and it would have been apropos to have seen her receive what she deserved after offending middle class America by making those prejudiced remarks.
Although Janeane was only confronted by Fox news prior to the event, unaware of what awaited her at her show, it was obvious that she was nervous about her comedy event being interrupted/disrupted by tea partiers. She was so concerned that she had to open up her act by mentioning the tea partiers as “tea-baggers” and welcomed them by saying “White Power.” Poor Janeane just doesn’t get it. It may do her some good to take a history lesson and learn that her party is more aligned with those that want “white power.” Neo-Nazi groups and White supremacy groups have always been Socialist by nature and believe in centralized government so they can force their beliefs upon others. She also forgets that her party created the KKK and tried to block all of the civil rights legislation in the 50′s and 60′s. The entitlement prorams are actually an addictive means to keep specific groups oppressed and under the thumb of the Democrats. I recently spoke to a friend who is currently on unemployment who claimed that it was almost like heroin. He could see how people could get addicted to welfare and government entitlements because he doesn’t have to work and everything gets paid for. So it seems that Ms. Garofalo can dish it out but she can’t take it – once confronted she stutters and gets upset and lashes out.
She evidently cannot really back up her comments with facts and stooped low enough lie about a sign that stated “What you talking ’bout Willis?”, which I personally doubt even existed, since it has nothing to do with liberal policies or fiscal irresponsibility – which were more along the lines of the signs being held by people. I attended a tea party in Maryland and I saw various races represented so I would love for one of these liberals to actually attend an event, speak to people, and then tell us what they think. I’m sure they would not make such slanderous and bigoted remarks if they perhaps knew what they were talking about. But as Reagan has said before: “It isn’t that liberals are ignorant, it’s just that they know so much that isn’t true.”
Please clue in Ms. Garofalo and let her know that making generalizations and speaking on behalf of race, and in particular blacks, as a white woman, is in fact, racist…
And just to answer your question Ms. Garofalo, many of us were upset about Bush and his spending habits and the way in which he grew government. There were already plenty of protesters against him and the war – that got way more attention that some simple tea party protesters. However, various bloggers and conservative forums were up in arms whenever he doled out more money and increased the size of the federal government. The issue came to a head after this past election though. Conservatives knew before November that Obama was a big government radical lefty who wanted a more centralized government and was going to increase spending when that is the opposite of what we should be doing right now. And just to make it fair, McCain would not have been much better… But, enough is enough in DC and on Wall Street and many of us regular “Joes” are tired of the Elite running this country into the ground. That’s what we are protesting and it doesn’t matter quite frankly if you are on the left or the right. It’s time to put the founding principles back to good use and put government back on the side of the people.
It’s too bad that Garofalo and other progressives don’t see that. It’s about the people and about the middle class – something that should concern you since we are the silent majority and the ones who pay taxes. What happens when we don’t have the means to pay them anymore? That’s why we are considered the “Forgotten Men and Women.”
Janeane Garofalo Will Get a Dose of Her Own Medicine Tonight
Three cheers for the Massachusetts conservatives who will show up at Janeane Garofalo’s act this evening! I can’t wait for the news tomorrow – especially the photos – I hope there will be a lot of people dressed as “tea-bagging rednecks!” I have heard that most of the tickets to her show were sold to these protesters – oh happy days!
Hey, Janeane Garofalo, how do you like your tea?
It’s been a few weeks since the outspoken comedian and actress (“24”) called tea party tax protesters racists, but she is still in hot water with some Bay Staters.
A group of steamed citizens led by conservative radio talk host Ken Pittman of New Bedford’s WBSM-AM plan to protest outside her gig tonight at the Somerville Theatre.
“She has exposed herself as a bigot,” Pittman said.
About 20 to 40 people are expected to show up, he said.
Garofalo sparked controversy when she criticized the protesters while on MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.”
“You know, there’s nothing more interesting than seeing a bunch of racists become confused and angry. . . . This is about hating a black man in the White House,” she said.
Garofalo, in town to perform in the Alternative Comedy Festival, declined the Herald’s request for an interview.
“She doesn’t really want to talk about that at all,” said Brian Joyce, director of the festival. “She is coming to Somerville to play a comedy festival, not talk politics.”
Pittman said, “I’m not going violate her act or inhibit her ability to earn a living. This is purely satirical, and anyone who is not coming with a sense of humor should not bother coming.”
Liberals Continue Their Invective Against Carrie Prejean
Listen to this vile hate – sounds like two catty women gossiping and starting false rumors about a person who just wanted to state their own opinion and be outspoken about it. And who is calling who superficial Michael Musto? When it comes to the gay agenda; if you don’t agree you must be exterminated – you cannot have your own opinion these days. I think Olbermann and Musto are actually doing their cause a disservice by continuing to harp on Ms. Prejean… just my opinion – most decent reporters would have let this die by now - the news has actually become the hate over at MSNBC; despicable.
But what strikes me as even worse than the invective by the predictable hateful left, (Olbermann & Musto) is the hypocrite who came onto The Factor last night as a so called feminist. I can’t stand these feminists. They are tools of the left used to push a liberal agenda through. True feminists would care care about the rights of all women no matter what political ideology they represent. If these attacks were being made on some liberal Hollywood starlet or a liberal politician you can guarantee that the liberal feminists would be all over it. Instead they make up some dumb excuse about the pageant and the fact that Ms. Prejean has fake breasts.
How can you utter justice and equality in one breath but then immediately state the someone needs a heart transplant? So she needs to be politically correct in order to receive justice and equality from the feminist groups? But leave it to the so called feminists to bring up the breast implants because, for liberals, nothing is off limits and even the most trivial of details can be spun against somebody…
I may as well come out of the closet now! I have fake breasts… some females do it to look “normal,” more astethically pleasing, for self-esteem, because of cancer, because of deformities, etc. There are myriad reasons as to why people opt for an operation and if any one of these types of people were to hear this woman use the excuse that Carrie Prejean had it coming due to the fact that she had fake breasts, they would all be appalled. How many liberal women, esp. from the elite class and Hollyweird, have fake breasts? That’s what I thought… the statistics on how many women have them is staggering. Breast augmentation and implantation is becoming as normal as anti-depressants in this country; so get over it and admit to your double standards. Feminists Tools of the Left make me sick!
Obama May Appear on American Idol!?
Although I stopped watching the show after the second round, this would give me an excuse to completely boycott the show.
I would boycott the show just for the simple fact that Obama should be leading this country not attempting to be the next Hollywood starlet. Where is the sense of maturity and decency? He was already the first President of the United States to make an appearance on the Late Show – now there is a possibility of him appearing on Idol? This is like a bad dream – a man who is on an incessant marketing and PR campaign – requiring adulation and reassurance from the masses in order to feel good about himself… <grabbing for the puke bucket>
The “American Idol” contestants have enough pressure dealing with the critiques of Randy, Kara, Paula and Simon – and if “Idol’s” harshest judge gets his way, they’ll be performing for President Obama.
“We would put out an invitation on a daily basis,” Simon Cowell told The Hollywood Reporter about “Idol’s” attempt to get the Commander in Chief to appear on the hit FOX show.
“I’d love him to come on, his wife to come on, kids to come on.” Simon said of the First Family. “I could only picture now what it would be like if he actually turned up.”
Adding, “He’s a rock star!”
Just when you think Democrats couldn’t sink any lower… Obamajaya?
This reminds me of American Dreamz 
We know American Dreamz was trying to make fun of Bush and Cheney, but let’s get real here – Obama is the one doing this PR Media blitz incessantly.
Miss California Lost Pageant due to Gay Marriage Comments!?
What is wrong with our country? You can’t have an opinion any longer if it is a conservative or Christian viewpoint? Your opinion must coincide with these gay bigoted activists? Your opinion must be liberal in order to be acceptable? People are now required to toss their principles aside to appease others? How is this freedom of speech and how is what the Miss America Pageant did and Perez Hilton said not considered discriminatory? Read more
