GAROFALO: "Inked Fingers = Nazi Salute": What would make former commediene and current Air-America "talk show host" Janeane Garofalo do this?
Because she says it means the same thing as the show of solidarity with the Iraqi voters that many bloggers, citizens and lawmakers had taken. The MediaResearchCenter provided the full transcript from Garofalo's appearance on "After Hours" on MSNBC...but here's the money quote:
Garofalo: "The inked fingers and the position of them, which is gonna be a 'Daily Show' photo already, of them signaling in this manner [does the 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. And also, the bit of theater about the very distraught parents of the soldier who had died, the point is not if this was a real moment, if it was staged, if it was PR. The point is, is those parents and their son were misled about why that young man went into Iraq. And when he wrote a letter to his mother saying, 'It's my job to protect you now,' protect her from what? The imminent threat of Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction? So don't bring up, 'Is it helpful if the Democrats make some noise' when they're being lied to. That's not helpful, that's not helpful to pundits like you maybe, but it is not helpful to the country when a Republican President and his partisan Republican Party continue to perpetuate myth and dishonesty on the country."
The rantings of the left are beyond control. Does Garofalo even know where the idea of this sign of solidarity came from?
Shelby Dangerfield, a young girl...as her story appeared in the Billings Gazzette. Then Matt Margolis and GOPBloggers invited other bloggers and readers to stand with the Iraqi voters as well. Then three days later the lawmakers got into the act...
Does Garofalo think that young Shelby truly, seriously, is out to spread Nazi fascism to the world around her?
Maybe Garofalo needs to hear from you on the matter...E-MAIL Janeane via the Air-America. Or call during her show 866.303.2270.
Carbon me on any response you may get so that we can post interesting takes on the story from here.

I think Jeaneans problems are rooted in celibacy. :) Ink dipping and all that is too much of a reminder of her unattractive, abrasive reflection.
I've got a finger for Garafalo. I've got her finger right here!
You almost don't have to read beyond this line, because it betrays the mentality of this idiot. I'm not just coming down on her because she opposes Bush and the war, because people who do both can understand that position, and simply see things differently. But this line shows where the unfunny comedienne Garafalo is coming from--she sees this move (which I wasn't crazy about the congressmen doing, but whatever) in its "COOL" context--how it LOOKS to freakin John Stewart. Like almost all of these Hollywood types, her priorities are wacked: She has her little morning email from her political guru, whoever that is (all of these folks are in some Hollywood liberal group that sends out talking points every morning to those who may be appearing on the talk shows; I can't recall the name of the group offhand), and off she goes to the shows to talk big--Fascist, liar, WMD, blah blah blah.
I'm willing to listen to any argument against the war, but this woman's point is so unbelievably petty that she has shown once again that she is a ridiculous woman who is way over her head in a discussion about politics. Her criticism, even taken at face value, is so unbelivably petty in the face of the Iraqis voting that she cann't be taken seriously in any discussion about political or historical events.
Janeane Garofalo needs to get laid.
No, I am most emphatically NOT volunteering.
Maybe Jim Rob would be willing to host a "Help Janeane Get Some" Freep-a-thon.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Hey JG (stupid Commie beotch) - which finger am I holding up?
Okay... who hit MS. Garofalo with the BZ?
FOFLFLMAO!! I better bite my tongue before I get in trouble...heheh :)
Another broomstick rider.
"Paging Lt. Gen Mattis, your services are needed in Hollywood."
She is such a stupid wench!
She's a total idiot.
Janeane Garofalo needs an Ice Water Enema!!
Sherry.
King Prout, perfect response!
Did anyone really expect this ugly loser whore to say anything different, or constructive?
And, if she is longing, maybe Micahel moore could satifsy her!
