By now most everyone is aware of the comments Ms. Garofalo made regarding those Americans that are fed up with taxes, government waste, intrusions into privacy and are uniting against the bailouts and Barack Obama’s health care scheme. She feels in her infinite wisdom that if you are opposed to Obama’s policies, it’s because you’re racist.
I’m not afraid of being called a racist. Those who don’t know me have called me many things over the course of my life. Being called a name doesn’t make it true. And I’m not some thin-skinned twit that lets words and vapid arguments get to me. But I thought it might be somewhat educational, as well as entertaining, to delve into the twisted logic that liberals such as Ms. Garofalo use in order to come up with these inane conclusions and spew those stupid comments.
First let’s get one thing established and out of the way. Liberalism and the support of socialistic and fascist ideals is not something that is inherently black. If it were, then Hitler would have necessarily been a black man. The same would have to be true with Stalin and Mao. Furthermore, all blacks would have to adhere to those principles. Likewise, all whites would have to be against them. Only then it could seriously be referred to as a racial disagreement. I know this is being somewhat simplistic, but if I get too intellectual about it any liberals reading this would get lost.
Under Janeane Garofalo’s logic, in order for her to agree with Barack Obama she needs to be black herself. The only other logical conclusion following this path is that she actually disagrees with Barack Obama and is therefore a racist, but is just too afraid to come out and admit it. Additionally, any blacks that disagree with a white man are by definition racists. At this point we run into the problem of what to do with the blacks that don’t agree with other blacks, or the whites that don’t agree with other whites.
When you look at the disagreements she had with George W. Bush, and things she called him, since they are both white it obviously couldn’t have been because of racism. It would have had to been due to sexism on her part. But we still have that annoying issue with not all women thinking the same, or all men having identical ideals.
Here comes the great liberal answer to those pesky situations. Blacks that don’t agree with liberal philosophies are not really black. Apparently white men and women that disagree are also not really white, or female I would have to assume. What passes for liberal logic tends to vaporize when truth is introduced. So what we’re left with is what conservatives knew all along. The debate is about ideologies, not race or gender. Unfortunately for liberals, their ideology is based on emotion, not thought, therefore they can’t win honest debates of ideas. That is why they concocted this fanciful rant about who is or isn’t true to their race based on the individual’s opinion.
Ms. Garofalo has also made a statement opining that black republicans must suffer from the Stockholm Syndrome, inferring that they have developed a loyalty to their captor, the Republican Party. Ms. Garofalo cannot make that statement and be considered a true student of history. If any party is holding black Americans hostage, it’s the Democrats. It was the Republicans that led the charge on abolishing slavery and establishing civil rights for African-Americans. The Democrats fought to keep slavery legal and battled against every civil rights bill presented until President Johnson persuaded his party to go along with the Republicans on civil rights. Even then the southern Democrats tried to filibuster the legislation. The party as a whole has been trying to keep the blacks on the plantation ever since.
So we’re left with the original question asked in the title of this article. Is Janeane Garofalo a racist, sexist or just an idiot? She agrees with some of the black population so she isn’t racist. She agrees with a portion of the male population, so she isn’t a sexist. Logically speaking, in the end we must conclude that Janeane Garofalo is apparently is just another left wing, liberal idiot.
>> You know, that’s really gross.
He shoots! He scores! :-)
Why can’t she be all three?
Ms. Garofalo Can’t Understand Normal Thinking...
silly
Idiot...and ugly.
When President Bush started spending like a drunken sailor - many of us here objected. Were we racist then too?
Or if we loved black people, would we happily bankrupt the country? Is that what dems do? I don't get this rant of hers...
I have never been drunk enough to do that....
She makes my skin crawl in so many ways.
All of the above!!!
THERE, is the problem. The ugliness starts on the inside and works it's way outside. If Ms Janeane were a Conservative, happy, self-respecting, etc. she would take care of herself better, and she would actually be quite attractive.
Like most ignorant libs however, she forces the ugliness out, and onto the world. Damn shame. She's trying to fit in to a cult.
That image on her jacket- “It’s Dead - whatever it was” I used to have on a t-shirt 20 years ago!
People who pay to hear Garofalo may be congenital democrats. They form a protected class under the Americans With Disabilities Act; we should be careful not to malign them too much.
