Antiwar activist Janeane Garofalo announced Monday that she may quit protesting U.S. plans to make war on Iraq, saying she's being harassed and complaining that Hollywood leftists who speak out don't get enough respect.
Addressing a panel on media coverage of the war in Manhattan, the comedienne-turned-foreign policy expert said that she may "just bow out for the rest of my life," according to New York's Newsday. Garofalo complained that she's had to change her home phone number after getting several harassing calls.
The bespectacled Bush basher blames the media, which she said ridicules antiwar actors "as a way to trivialize" the concerns of those who oppose the war. [Garofalo herself, however, admitted two weeks ago that the peace movement stayed dormant during U.S. troop deployments in the 1990's because "it wasn't hip" to protest President Clinton.]
Fellow panelist William McGowan, author of "Coloring the News: How Political Correctness Has Corrupted American Journalism," disagreed. He said antiwar activists are belittled because of their "silly, vacuous slogans."

complaining that Hollywood leftists who speak out don't get enough respect. They don't deserve any respect. Their 'ideology' is statist, repressive, and totally consistent with the Joseph Stalin school of governance.

If she had any courage, she would go entertain troops with the USO and maybe see America's best and brightest doing REAL WORK.

I guess the human shields coming home in shame didn't help her cause either.

Well whaddaya know, has J.G. started to grow up? Maybe she'll be a Republican in a few years. You know the old saying... if you're a conservative at 20, you have no heart; if you're a liberal at 40, you have no brain!

Maybe her publicist and talent agent have finally convinced her that doing these very public protests will hurt her acting career? Oh poor baby--probably not.

She actually has an acting career? I thought the "grungy greasy anti-cool chick" motif has been dead for a while now.

Garofalo, tell me when you plan to make it to Northern California and I'll stop by and try to make you feel better. NOT.

When these clowns open their mouths, they ridicule themselves with their inane arguments. Not one of these creeps EVER said anything about clinton's bombings to divert attention from his lewinskis and stained dresses.
