Actress: Tea Protestors Were Redneck Racists
Don't like high taxes or runaway government spending? You're a dumb, redneck racist.
That's essentially what liberal actor Janeane Garofalo said on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night. She was prompted to give a response on the Tea Party protests after Olbermann ranted on about the protesters "seething with hate." This from Olbermann, who essentially built an entire show around an hour-long, hate-filled rant about then president George W. Bush.
Olbermann still rants about Bush in a daily segment each on his show - 100 days after Bush left office, mind you. At what point is he forced to give it up? Still somehow - after Olbermann had finished his numerous immature references to male genitals, which he evidently thought were funny - Garofalo upstaged Olbermann on who could be the nuttiest hypocrite on stage.
"You know there is nothing more interesting than seeing a bunch of racists become confused and angry," she led off with. She went on to describe how none of the protesters could tell what the speakers were saying, or knew history at all.
"Let's be very honest about what this is about: It's not about bashing Democrats, it's not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about, they don't know their history at all. This was about hating a black man in the White House," she said pointing her finger. "This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks and there is no way around that."
She couldn't just leave it at that, no way! She had much more hate left before she would be ready to give up the floor.
"You can tell these type of right-wingers anything and they'll believe it except the truth. You tell them the truth and they become -- it's like showing Frankenstein's monster fire -- they become confused and angry and highly volatile...The limbic brain of a right-winger or Republican or conservative or your average white power activist. Their limbic brain is much larger in their head space than in a reasonable person and it's pushing against the frontal lobe so their synapses are misfiring."
There is nothing that can be done to fix conservatives -- or just people who think they pay too much in taxes, she said, because it's about racism.
If you are concerned about runaway government spending, you evidently are an uneducated, brain damaged, redneck, racist who is unable to decipher truth from fiction.
Paul Begala got a little worked up over the tea protests on Imus in the Morning Wednesday as well saying that Tax Day was "the proudest, most patriotic day for 99 percent of Americans, that we have all year."
Are 99 percent of Americans really going to think of tax day as the most patriotic day of the year? Not in this lifetime. What about real patriotic days like July 4th, Armistice Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, etc.?
Begala went on to a call tea partiers "Wimpy, whining weasels" who "don't love their country."
One thing is certain: Begala and Garofalo didn't seem to have a problem with whining throughout the past eight years.

To the T!
And I would love to have some feedback from Ana or anybody else...why are assuming she is calling you a redneck racist?
Were you out there physically protesting the federal governments collection of taxes?
It was taxation without representation that sparked the real Boston Tea Party...not taxation without my voted for representation.
The world is a funny place.

My point exactly, the left are just getting nervous that TRUE American's aren't going to sit back and let our country...FOUNDED ON CAPITALISM...turn into a government controlled socialist nation...

Who are these two mental midgets? More importantly, who cares what they think? I saw the clip of Jeanane Garofalo. It made me wonder how drunk you would have to get Frankenstein if she played the role of "Bride of Frankenstein".

Garofalo is such a joke. Pitifully uninformed, she forgets that this country, at least today, is a free country, where people have the right to protest anything they want. Especially if they believe the government is working against the common man. She seems to feel that her opinions are important (?) but anyone who doesn't agree with her is not allowed to have an opinion of their own. Baby Bowler should take an anger management course, along with a U.S. History class, and spend her time a little more constructively.

Janine Garafalo is an Idiot!! She does't Know what Real Racism Is!! I think She Should Time Travel Back to Oh Say, 1700 thru 1970 in this country!! Read your History Janine! America is Not Racist, Proof Positive, America Elected Barak Obama!! Never, In Our Wildest Dreams Did Any One In America During The Civil Rights Movement, Believe It Could Happen So Very Soon After The Civil Rights!! I truley belive that Janine should experience how horrible Racisim Really Was, When It Was so Very Blatant in America, Then Tell Me That Those Tea Party Attendees' Were Racist People, and Rednecks!! Most of Those Tea Party Attendees' Were People Of Every Age, Every Economic Status, And Of Every Race In this Country! They Were People , Including MySelf, Who Believe Our Country Is Heading Down The Wrong Road, The Road To Ruin and To Socialism!!! Janine,You Unbelieveable Idiot!!! Get Your Head Out OF Your Rear End and Wake Up!! Barack Obama, with the help of President Bush Has Made This Mess along with a Corrupt Congress!! Janine, with this push towards Socialism or Nationalized Socialism, You may indeed witness another form of Racism and Another Kind Of America! Then Who Will You Blame? This Old Grandma, Has Seen Plenty and Little Girl, You Have No Idea What Can Happen!! If You So Hate America, Get Out And Don't Let The Door Hit You When You Leave!!!

Why should anyone take seriously the opinions of people in the entertainment industry? It seems that whenever an actor, singer, or comedian opens up his yap about political or social issues, whether they are conservative or liberal, the media fasten on it and offer up their lamebrain remarks when they should be reporting to us what, for example, is being written over at "The American Spectator" or "The New Republic" about a given issue. But Janeane Garofalo? Come on! She's cute and she's smart, but only in that aging grad student kind of way.....

True! Sick of seeing these yo-ho stars and whatnot, think the world stands still when they speak. And think that we actually believe every word or action that they say and do! Without us common folks, where would they be? Poor like us. Who cares what they have to do or say as it means NOTHING. I will say that Obama had better get off of his highhorse and start doing what he was hired for. Forget other countries and concentrate on the land that put him where he is TODAY. Start caring MORE about the U.S. and LESS about the others. We are sinking and at first it was slow but now it's shifted and going a bit faster.
But, oh, wait...The Muslims will step in. Or China.
Step in and take over our country. They are just waiting for the moment to come and when it does, watch out. Our downfall started with Clinton in office.
