Garofalo: Fingers with ink comparable to Nazi salute
Actress, liberal radio host calls Republican gesture 'disgusting'

Janeane Garofalo makes a Nazi salute on MSNBC to mock Republicans who dipped their fingers in paint

Actress and liberal talk-radio host Janeane Garofalo is taking issue with congressional Republicans who dipped their fingers in ink for President Bush's State of the Union speech as a sign of solidarity with Iraqi voters, likening it to a Nazi salute.

Garofalo actually made the salute last night as she provided post-speech commentary on MSNBC's "After Hours" program.

"The inked fingers was disgusting," said Garofalo, who is one of the hosts on the Air America radio network.

"The inked fingers and the position of them, which is gonna be a Daily Show photo already, of them signaling in this manner [Nazi salute], as if they have solidarity with the Iraqis who braved physical threats against their lives to vote as if somehow these inked-fingered Republicans have something to do with that."

Iraqi citizens who voted in last weekend's elections dipped their fingers in colored paint to indicate they had voted.

During numerous standing ovations, television cameras showed many members of Congress displaying a finger which had been dipped in blue paint, as a sign of solidarity with the Iraqis who braved violence over the weekend to cast their ballots for the first time in a post Saddam Hussein-era.

"This blue finger is a sign of incredible courage on the part of the Iraqi people," House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said after the speech, noting the paint stays on for a week in Iraq.

I say again, how does being a comedian and part-time actress qualify one as a political analyst?

We probably need to ask Noam Chomsky. He knows much more about these topics than any of us.

Like I said, I know the gesture was well intentioned and I hold no ill-will toward those who like it. It just doesn't feel right to me. In Iraq, a purple finger could get you killed, which made it heck of a lot more than just a symbol to me. Yeah, I know I'm probably in the minority here but that's how I personally feel about it. I wouldn't feel comfortable painting my finger purple unless I'd risked my life in Iraq to vote. But I'm not at all angry at those who do.

You mean this one? Hey Janeane Garofalo, take a look at your beloved Palestinains if you want to see what a Nazi salute looks like

The White House on Monday backed efforts by Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas to negotiate a cease-fire with militants, but said he would ultimately need to disarm the groups.

"Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, 'Oh my God, you're insulting me.' That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, 'We're here, we're queer!' -- that's what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride."

-Janeane Garofalo

as if somehow these inked-fingered Republicans have something to do with that."

Well, Jeneane, would you care to tell us who is primarily reponsible for ignoring the bleating of the world's appeasers, and almost single-handedly made this January election possible?

Wonder what she said about this picture?

Members of the Fatah youth movement chant slogans during a rally for Palestinian presidential candidate Mahmoud Abbas at a hotel in the Jerusalem suburb of Beit Hanina, January 5, 2005.

She didn't say anything did she? Oh wait, I forgot "Republikkkans = Nazis, Palestinians = Freedom Fighters."

It's not that simple and we need to come to terms with a new expression.It's been many years since adjectives were so easily placed and part of our problem of addressing and their problem of reconstruction lies in the way they cannot be properly catagorised.Naziism or national socialist movement was a reponse and rebirth of a nation destroyed by losing a war.A huge war of incomprehensible casualties on all sides.The reparations under Versailles treaty broke their back and sanity.Under national socialism people went back to work and things operated to a point but eventually a country needs more resources or land to continue or become fluid.The aggression exhibitted and wrong-headed work to "cleanse society" immediatly put them under a gun which trancends heavens and dooms them.Different yet similar the socialists to communists in Russia played the equalization of society (except if you're big in the party)to extreem measure and they were as a group responsible for too many deaths and abuses upon everyone to be able to acknowledge.THE idea is not even attribute to JG any association with any those people or concepts.She wasn't raised starved.She wasn't abused or in constant fear or seen cousins,uncles and brothers shot dead because of political hegemony.She's a pampered princess of no clue like most libs.A nazi is a commie is a whatever to these jerks and they manage to soil the graves of everyone in process of their spupidity.
