Janeane Garofalo, left-wing actress-turned-Air America radio host, is a miserable woman. Last week before the holidays, she turned up on cable TV. No, not to count her blessings – but to rant against conservative journalist Bob Novak, author Ann Coulter, and the Fox News Channel. She didn't have anything better to do for Thanksgiving?
Accessorized by a permanent scowl (hard to believe she was once considered a comedienne), Ms. Garofalo accused conservatives of having "an anger management problem." Without a trace of irony, the frowning Garofalo griped about "right-wing partisan hacks" who "are always on the verge of punching somebody or always behave as if they've just been cut off in traffic."
This, dear readers, is a classic case of liberal projection. Like CNN executive Jonathan Klein, who derided Fox's audience as full of "angry white men, and those men tend to be rabid," and liberal comedian Bill Maher, who also railed that "Republicans need anger management" and are possessed with a "vein-popping, gut-churning rage that consumes the entire right wing," Ms. Garofalo crossly blames the Right while denying the pathological wrath and fury that characterize the unhinged Left.
Who are you calling angry, Ms. Garofalo? You want political road rage? Let's start with Al. Take your pick: Sharpton. Gore. Franken. Yearrghh!
Now, open your eyes:
It isn't out-of-control conservatives tossing Molotov cocktails at police officers in San Francisco, burning American soldiers in effigy, and smearing pig's blood and feces on the walls and windows of military recruitment centers across the country to protest on behalf of peace.
It isn't rage-blinded conservative professors who embrace fragging (the murder of American soldiers by their fellow soldiers on the battlefield) as a legitimate anti-war tactic.
It isn't vengeful conservatives torching SUVs, condo developments, and research facilities, and targeting biotech and pharmaceutical company employees and their families to protest on behalf of the environment.
It wasn't mad conservatives sporting "F--- Bush" license plates, punching cardboard cutouts of the president, and vowing to secede after losing the 2004 presidential election.
It wasn't rabid conservatives who gloated over Ronald Reagan's death or John Ashcroft's pancreatitis.
It wasn't a gut-busting conservative journalist who vowed to kill herself if Dick Cheney ran for president. (That would be the perpetually aggrieved Helen Thomas.)
It wasn't hate-filled Republican officials who reportedly screamed "faggot" and "fruitcake" and "I'll break your nose" at their political opponents. (Those were all Democrats: Pennsylvania state legislator Vincent Fumo, California Rep. Pete Stark, and Virginia Rep. Jim Moran, respectively.)
It isn't fanatical conservatives joking about the assassination of President Bush and the execution of his Republican aides. (That, Ms. Garofalo, would include your Air America colleagues. But I'll forgive you if you weren't tuned in to them. Few are.)
And it wasn't ruthless conservatives who cheered last week when a liberal Bush-hater wrote on the popular DemocraticUnderground.com website last week:
I am an American, Born and Raised, but I am NOT a citizen of BUSH'S America. I want nothing to do with the country these people have created.
And for those who support them, Let's get Something Nice And Sparkling CLEAR:
Stay The [F---] Away From Me. Stay OUT of my personal space. I want NOTHING from you. I want NOTHING to do with you. I want NOTHING to do with your "vision" of what the world should be.
What DO I want from you?
Honestly?
I will freely admit there are days, and they are becoming more than not, that the Alien at Area 51 in Independence Day and I share quite a common ground on the answer to that question.
And I am NOT apologizing for it.
In the words of the Late, Great Bill Hicks, about the most conciliatory thing I can say for those people at this point is simply this:
Kill Yourself.
My Christmas wish for Ms. Garofalo and her ilk: a mirror and a clue to make the yuletide bright. In the meantime, when vein-popping liberals start seething about the rage of the Right, the wisest action for peaceful right-wingers I can recommend is this:
Duck.
Yes. by the way my review was titled "Losing Elections Has Made Liberals 'Unhinged'" The more they lose, the more they get angry, bitter, and crazy. (I'm referring to the Presidential races pretty much...they've lost 7 of the last 10, right?) No ideas (or good ideas),
just frustration, seething anger, and hatred from the
"tolerant" Left.
LOL! You *go* girl!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaheeeee!
Michelle Malkin 'Speaks Truth to Dem "Double D-IMMPs"'
(Drug Damaged, Intellectual Moral Midget, Piggies)
If memerory serves, after talking with cheney politely about a bill before that days Congressional session, Lehey, proceeded
tp go the the floor, and savaged both the ill, and made many personal attacks against Cheney, in the process..obviously
without using any "cuss" words, and thenm after the end of
the session greeted Cheny with a smirk on his face, like
nothing had happened
From what i remembe, Leheys attacks were quite vicious
and untrue...as far as the "cuss words"..it may not have
been polite, but it was nowhere near as bad as the "non-cussword" filth that came out of Leheys anus lips.
Believe me, i am a student of the art, of using truth
and "non cussworded" insults that make what Cheney
said about as offensive as saying "You Big Liar Meanie!".
But would have been a lot more accurate for Cheney
to have said that to him. Because Lehey *is* n fact,
a mean liar, and he's a *big* backstabbing one at that.
As a frequent DU reader (see my tagline) I am amazed at the obcenities I see there every day. The hatred there is Soooooooo bitter and obvious. The ohbcenities only serve to illustrate the intelligence level of the posters. They have no arguments so are reduced to screaming rage. They turn on anyone who disagrees with any of their standard positions even once. Proof positive to me that they and their party are in the process of meltdown to complete irrelevance.
It wasn't that long ago that the MSM commonly used the terms "angry white males" and "Clinton-haters" in their regular copy. Oh, and let's not forget the "extreme right wing".
Funny, I don't think I've ever seen the term "loony left" or "Bush-hater" in the Washington Post. That might be an interesting exercise for someone with Lexus/Nexus.
I'm thinking you have more direct experience with this sort of behavior from Lefties, than just about anyone here.
Merry Christmas, you and the DC FReepers are tops in my book.
'Real thought'? See my tagline. Fsuck the 'craps and their right-wing.
Your DU comment made me think of this recent thread:
Liberals and the Rage of Impotence
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1527635/posts
A worthwhile article, and in that thread there's a link to DU that very much illustrates your comment.
Sorry, Michelle. Donks piss me off. But I do maintain a calm demeanor at all times...
DON'T DUCK! Hold up the mirror to them - literally and figuratively. Fling the phony-liberals' angst-rotten words right back smack in their bully-faces. Film and quote these so-called "liberals" to show the world what they really are - totally bonkers and meanspirited.
What would Jeanine, the Flaming Liberot, do with more than one half of the conservative Americans she HATES? Execute them en masse? Put them in ***camps***? Drive them into the Coliseum? Brainwash them to convert? Enslave them? Force them to live in Federal Housing? Disenfranchise them and take the vote away from them. Jeanine is insane. Just like professional malcontents raving Ed Asner and obnoxious Alec Baldwin.
Also, advise these demented Democrat party's "willing fascist fools" like narcissistic elite/celeb Jeanine where they can get chic Straight-Jackets. Jeanine is a BRATTISH BAD SEED acting-out. In clincial terms, she projects her self-hate. Jeanine REALLY hates herself and that toxic self-hate makes her sick...and sickening. Her psyche REALLY needs an enema! Typical of leftists, they are mentally constipated.
Don't Duck! Aim well, and fling it back to leftist Bullys and Brats! Mock them for what they expose of themselves.
"All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all
truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all
the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were
visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick. He piled
upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by
his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he
burst his hot heart's shell upon it." -Melville (Moby Dick)
They are as mad as Ahab. And the same fate awaits them.
*Thank you for quoting from America's literary treasure MOBY DICK written by America's Shakespeare Herman Melville.
Disagree with you on this one. Yes, TV (news) can be characterized as a clump of soundbite strung together. However, talk radio (usually) delves in to current issues in a more intelligent, thoughtful manner.
recall how Dick Cheney's "F*** you" to Leahy on the Senate floor. No gracious winner that fellow.
I applauded Cheney for doing that, and it had nothing to do with winning. (It occurred in June of 2004, 5 months shy of the re-election.) It had to do with Leahy committing slander Bush/Cheney on a near-daily basis. As I recall, Leahy was badgering them about Haliburton, attempting to paint the picture of Bush/Cheney as evil, corrupt oilmen. In the Senate building, Leahy put on his best two-face, and approached Cheney in a friendly, that-was-just-my-job jovial manner, and Cheney let him have it. Good for Cheney.
Your "no gracious winner" characterization of Cheney reminds me of the soundbite culture of network news. Oh well, we detest others for our own flaws.
Sounds like a reasonable presentation of a classic small-government, quasi-Libertarian, Conservative position. This guy is half a step away from registering Republican, and doesn't even know it!
I filed that comment under "A savory and needed rebuke, albeit late."
There are not enough words in the English language to denigrate Leahy properly.
If you read Malkin's book you will see that there is no equivalent hate and rage on the conservative side. It is very much one sided.
While Dick Cheny mouthed the "F" word the dims were burning and shooting at local Republican head quarters, physically attacking Republican candidates and supporters and calling for the assassination of our troop leaders in Iraq and many many other similar tactics.
Nothing similar came from the right, it was all from unhinged liberals.
Read the book, "Unhinged, Liberals Gone Wild" by Michelle Malkin.
How about a splinter on her dildo?
Well, that's almost correct. Try looking at the religious threads here at FR.
