Garofalo: Cain’s rise in support proves Republican racism, or something
HotAirPundit ^ | SEPTEMBER 29, 2011 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 09/29/2011 12:09:26 PM PDT by RobinMasters

I’m loath to post something from the supremely irrelevant Janeane Garofalo or the slightly-less-irrelevant Keith Olbermann, except that this clip encapsulates perfectly how intellectually vapid the Republicans-are-racists argument truly is.

If African-Americans don’t do well among Republicans, it’s evidence of racism, and now if they do get support among Republicans, that’s also racism. It’s an unanswerable assertion that not only is completely circular in its logic, it’s also lunacy.

Basically, Garofalo is kind of like a cult member who insists that every data point supports her religious belief, regardless of whether it contradicts with other data points that are also used in defense of groupthink. That means she’s making the argument in the right venue, anyway.

There’s some mental illness and depression and self-treatment through drug use there,
guaranteed.

She doesn’t “Got Jesus?” for sure.

We’re racist if we do. We’re racist if we don’t. How about we just stop listening to the peanut gallery, judge a candidate by the content of his or her character, experience and policies and then vote accordingly?

And let that ugly lil’ biotch Garafalo froth at the mouth for 4 years.

I see she needs ratings for her TV show? Is it still on? NCIS New York or some such name.

Nope, cancelled in its first year. Even if the premise is good, people will NOT tune in to watch Garbage Girl. Heck, if I recall correctly, ratings for the season of 24 that featured her were depreciably down.

Republicans hate Barack Obama because he is black and they are racists. They will do anything to get him out of office, even vote for another black guy. OK, now I get it.

Oh well, I don’t care about racism anymore, if I ever did. In a world where only a politically incorrect few can be racists, everyone is a racist, and I support Herman Cain whether it makes me a racist or not. Leftist halfwits can wrap that around the script they call intellectual.

don’t know when she dropped out but a search for the word “education” on her wikipedia page got zero results.

If any Republican or Tea Partier is ever asked to respond to a Garafolo comment, the response should be: “who cares what that tattooed skank thinks?”

If she gets on more obscure territory than Current TV we will be reading about this on clay tablets.

Another day, another charge of racism from the loony left. I don't even waste my time answering to the charge anymore.
