Comedienne-activist and “Matchmaker” star Janeane Garofalo pounded Tea Party activists during Bill Maher’s “Real Time” a couple of days ago, equating this summer’s “Tea Party” protests with a darker chapter in US history: the white power movement.

Ms. Garofalo said: “Tea-baggers, the 9/12ers, these separatist groups that pretend that it’s about policy are clearly white identity movements. They are clearly white power movements.”

That broad brushstroke proved to be offensive to at least one black man in America: David Webb. Mr. Webb is a New York City talk show host (”The Grinder” on AM 970), a Republican, and founder of a Tea Party group in the Big Apple

Spoiled little white girls need to stop playing the race card. They are in way over their heads with that.

Jeanine Garofalo: Self-Outed Racismist.

Racismist: One who calls anyone who disagrees with them, a racist.

garofalo loves playing her “look how tolerant i am” act.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

She sure does like to use the term “tea bagger” - I guess her hand held home devices aren’t cutting it for her any longer.

IMHO it is the wacky leftie liberals that are trying to create CW II so that their Obamessiah can declare martial law. The lefties are the ones inciting the population to violence.

Everyone needs to stop playing the race card. She just needs to shut up and stop fancying herself an intellectual.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I believe they are wishing for it.

hollyweed elite.. the white powder movement.

Of course, Janeane believes that whites can think for themselves and can be either conservative or liberal; blacks are not capable of this feat. They must believe as they are told to believe.

[kingattax]

wouldnt you really like to see garofalo in a debate with david webb ?

that could really be fun to watch.

[Personal Responsibility]

No one projects quite like a looney liberal. Want to know what they really think? Listen to what they accuse Conservatives of.

Garofalo is gonna be one funny looking old lady - well, funnier - when all those tattoos get all wrinkled up...

[tophat9000]

Janeane Garofalo, Bill Maher in fact the whole left seem to have trained at the Charley Manson school of Black / White Race relation

And here I thought we were just protesting taxes etc.

At the same time we are in defiant support of the most important document on the planet and a n y o n e who supports the constitution is welcome to participate.
If they choose not to come...

[TNdandelion]

Exactly!

My comeback to the “teabaggers” slur: Only barbarians use tea bags.

Civilized people know that unprocessed tea is more healthy.
