Garofalo: Tea Party Protesters 'Functionally Retarded Adults'; Says 'I Want My Country Back' Code for 'I Want My White Guy Back' By Jeff Poor Created 2009-08-22 16:53
You probably already knew Jeanane Garofalo was no fan of conservatives, Republicans or just about anything that could be described as right of center. But the former Air America host and MSNBC regular really has a low regard for conservative activists.
In an appearance at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 21 [1], Garofalo ripped into tea party protesters, or what some of the wizards of smart on the left have deemed "tea baggers" [2] calling them "functionally retarded adults" and "racists."
"Do you remember tea baggers?" Garofalo said. "It was just so much easier when we could just call them racists. I just don't know why we can't call them racists, or functionally retarded adults."
Garofalo has made prior overtures alleging any public display of discontent with the current president is nothing more than racial hatred. Back in April she called tea party protesters "a bunch of tea bagging rednecks" on MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." [2] However, she contended the public's frustration expressed over the direction of the country was code for racism.
"The functionally retarded adults, the racists - with their cries of, I want my country back,'" she said. "You know what they're really saying is, I want my white guy back.' They apparently had no problem at all for the last eight years of habeas corpus being suspended, the Constitution being [expletive] on, illegal surveillance, lied to on a war or two, two stolen elections - yes, the John Kerry one was stolen too. That's not tin-foil hat time. That's just..."
According to Garofalo, the media were the reason George W. Bush defeated both former Vice President Al Gore in 2000 and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., in 2004 to hold on to the White House for eight years.
"Our media is quite happy to report on any stolen election around the world, any stolen election around the world except ours," Garofalo said. "And it's just unexamined narcissism. It's just, if you were to say this to the average American, You know they steal elections in Uganda.' Yeah.' You know they steal elections in America.' Why do you hate America?' Why didn't you ask me why do you hate Uganda?'"
And throughout Garofalo's stand-up routine, she reiterated her belief that the outrage over President Barack Obama's and the Democratic-controlled Congress' branded of domestic policy is veiled racism.
"This is neuroscience," Garofalo continued. "This is not politics, this is neuroscience. It is purely limbic brain activity - this emotion over being angry that there's a black guy in office, with the people showing up armed to the health care meetings - to whatever, the town halls. But it's just, and these tea baggers. It makes me soul sick."
Because every hollywood actress is well versed in neuroscience, right people?
Hey Garofalo, YOUR country is right where it’s been for the last 60 years—90 miles south of Florida.
5%, actually, on his father’s (assuming Obama Sr is actually the father) side, and 45% Arab.
50% from his mother’s side.
She’s a limbicile, an imbecile, a crocodile and a sack of bile. She riles herself, defiles herself, beguiles herself and garofalophiles herself. If she were actually somebody, she could replace Joe Gibbs as White House press spokesman. How she even gets noticed is one of the sublimer mysteries of the universe.
Prison tats.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!! She is about the dumbest actress in Hollywood. And that’s saying a lot!!
just don’t compare Obamacare to the programs of the NAZIonal-Soctialists. It’d make Barney Frank cry.
Conservatives I know have no problem with a 'black guy in office'. They just don't like having a SOCIALIST in office.
And if all this conservative activity makes her 'soul sick', I frankly hope she remains in that state for the rest of her life. ;o)
Well ranted, spot on, and JesseJacksonesque in terms of sheer poetic eloquence!
May we hope for more AntiGarafolequence?
(After all, heeshee is such a soft, inviting target.)
;^)
“I want my country back?”
Doesn’t she have the White House, the Congress, the judiciary, the MSM . . . is it someone else’s fault that those with power have, in her mind, let her down?
(sniff) That was beautiful, man.
Yeah, for folks who are wont to say that I didn't vote for Obama, because he was black, I just tell them his race had nothing to do with my decision. I didn't vote for the white, female, Socialist, either. ;o)
Garofalo Attacks Tea Partiers Again: 'Racist Backward Motherf**kers'
"..As reported by Britain's Guardian Saturday (obvious vulgarity warning):
This....coming from a vapid cow who thinks $$$$cientology is a religion....and calls anyone who protests the evil way of the cult “bigots”.
“Is the bitch going to be on 24 again? Just let me know so I can forget watching it.”
oh I liked when she was handcuffed in the end
She say’s we’re racists and she says elections were stolen. Doesn’t she realize that if we were racists and we could steal elections, we would have stolen this one?
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
She is obviously suffering.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I recommend alcohol, though not too much or you’ll start to think she’s really HOT! (That’s my test to know when I’ve had waaaayyy too much to drink.)
