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.

Reaganite Republican Resistance
1:59PM 1:59PM Apr 23rd 2009
Obama has made it clear that he couldn't care less what the TEA Party demonstrators were trying to get through his head, so will now enact his radical agenda regardless of the costs... and is willing to pull us into the abyss to do it.

In Barack's world, even if impeached tomorrow, he could always brag that he fired the CEO of GM- the ultimate class-enemy. And spending trillions of dollars' worth of your and the next 2-3 generations' money doesn't seem to bother him one bit- Obama acts like it doesn't even merit discussion. We hear plenty about his neckties, lengthy puppy-vetting process, and how Barack likes to play "hoops", though.

It's hard to imagine a worse combination in a leader than managerially-inexperienced narcissist with Bolshevik mentors and weird racial grudges.
This guy thinks he's king of the universe, when his resume doesn't qualify him to run a muffler shop. And the only apparent "qualities" besides soaring rhetoric are towering arrogance and a black-hole where his conscience was supposed to be... explains how he did so well in the mafia-like Chicago Machine.

Holy Crap! I think Garofolo must have gone off of her Risperdal or maybe her electroshock therapy didn't take. To say that she makes baseless assumptions and unfounded, over-reactive claims would be putting a kinder point on it, but it doesn't even begin to describe her particular brand of hate-mongering. I mean HOLY CRAP.

THIS IS AMERICA AND ANYONE HAS A RIGHT TO PROTEST. I AM SICK OF PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA PICKING AND CHOOSING WHICH PROTEST IS NOBLE (AGAINST BUSH), AND WHICH IS EVIL (PROTEST AGAINST PRESIDENT OBAMA'S POLICIES). THESE LIBERALS NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT FREE SPEECH REALLY MEANS. IT MEANS "FREE S-P-E-E-C-H.

I have noticed one interesting thing:
I didn't see a single black, asian or hispanic face in those tea parties. looks, like they were organized "by whites and for whites only". While i don't call it rasistic, I must pay your attention, that somehow, these anti-spending ideas are most popular among whites.
It's interesting also: we did pay the same rate of taxes all Republican years and there were no tea parties because of that. Why now? Because first time in American history the President gace tax cuts not to top rich, but to average working Americans. What a grave danger to top rich's profits!!!
They pushed this campaign and persuaded people (almost only whites) to go to those tea parties, because "their (peoples') future is in grave danger!".
I have news for you all:
The only "grave danger" is to those riches' mega-profits and that's why they wnat all of you to believe, that their grave danger is your grave danger too! No, their grave danger is your benefit!!!

Were you at one of the Tea Parties? I suspect not. I was and I saw a races there in common unity. This is not about rich vs Poor, well it might since you are disparaging the rednecks who tend to be hard-working not so rich people. They are the soul of this country.
The leftest also know as "Statists" tend to be rich, snotty lazy people with alot of time on their hands, and are trying to keep the masses under slavery. The Statist believe that they're alliance is to the state or in this case the Federal Government. What they forget is that the people elect the Government. The Government right now is not listening to the people. They are hell bent on getting as much power as they can while there is a majority in the House and Senate and a Democrat in the White House. If it was just the opposite, and the Republicans were the majority and they had a Republican in the White House (no matter what color), and the government was spending 11 Trillion dollars with no regard to how we are going to pay this money back. We would be doing the Tea Parties against that government as well.
I have never been hired by a poor person. If you tax the small business owner who employees 70% of the people in this country, you are going to have higher unemployment and more taxation to pay for all the unemployed.

The Teabaggers spent all day and weeks preparing for a protest against wasteful spending.
Then the Jackasses went and dumped a million tea bags for someone else to pick up and discard. Now that is thinking on a high level. Ha Ha and Ha.

Still did not make as large a mess as the folks that threw trash all over the Washington Mall during Obama's inauguration ceremony.
In fact, the tea party participants PICKED UP ALL of their trash respectfully and took care of it. The trash story is just anothe Olberman wet dream he thought up while fantasizing about Tbagging with Barney Frank.

Adele - you silly fool. Can you not think for yourself? Your posts are like reading the Dem spin pages. Only rich people attended them? I assume you dit not attend, otherwise you would know who was there. To whom are you listening? No one complained under Bush? Where you under a rock? The tea parties, as you well know, were a protest mainly against our of control government spending. It started with the stimulus, a bi-partisan disaster and grew into an out of control monster with the DEMOCRAT budget, signed by Obama. That one is all on him. Tax break? You can't convince me that anyone except the very feeble-minded actually believe our paltry $14 a week will last. You can't convince me that anyone but a partisan liberal doesn't know that EVERYONE's taxes are about to go through the roof. There aren't enough rich people in the world to pay that debt. Obama knows it. Congress know is. The congressional budget office knows it (and says it). And deep down, you know it. But if you insist on spewing the party line and sticking your head in the sand, good news for us. Your won't see it coming....and it is.

I wonder where the protesters were when their Republican henchmen were wasting billions of dollars a month on the stupid invasion of Iraq for NINE years.
You Jackasses just caught on....? It took you nine years?
Such Idiots you are.

If you attended one of those 'tea parties' then you ARE a redneck. The label 'redneck' is not geographical, it's behavioral.

SO JEANINE GAROFOLO BELIEVES THE PROTESTORS are redneck racists. Does that include the thousands of DEMS & INDEPENDENTS who attended, or just the Republicans Ms. Garafolo?
And I would hardly call her an "actress." LEFTIST LUNATIC is far mmore accurate.
