Janeane Garofalo Kicks Redneck Ass
Posted on 17. Apr, 2009 by rubber chicken in Entertainment, Politics, Video
Right-wingers love to pick on comedian/activist Janeane Garofalo, probably because they don’t understand a word she says. You see, she reads. And that’s too high-falutin’ for folks who just want to be told what to think by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. These same folks came out in the mere tens of thousands on Tax Day in ‘Tea Party’ protests against, well… whatever Obama is doing, dammit!
Why use the Boston Tea Party? Does taxation without representation have anything to do with current goings-on in government? I dunno – that’s book learnin’. Is President Obama responsible for the financial crisis he inherited from the Republicans? What Republicans? He created this whole thing in three months!
Garofalo, never one to skirt an issue, went on Keith Olbermann’s show this week and called these teabaggers racist rednecks. The only part of that I disagree with is calling them “teabaggers.” Don’t sully the time-honored fetish of having testicles swung in your face by aligning it with right wing radicals.
Of course, as soon as Janeane opened her mouth, the arrows started flying at her. When thousands of tea partiers gathered and publicly accused our President of being African it was okay. But when Garofalo calls them racists for it, they are appalled?! Have they not been listening to the things they’re saying?
Just watch the confusion when one man speaks to the crowd about the Bush Administration’s hand in the economic crisis. You can hear their brains hurting.
I am an educated individual who is not offended but find Garofolo hilarious. I don’t think anyone took her seriously. It was a comedy act on msnbc. I say sweetie if it helps you sell your “act” go for it. Really people? Everyone knows she is comedian not a scholar. What is funny is that some people actually thought she was being serious. Look at her and her statements, it’s a riot and as a true conservative I find her amusing. No one with a brain would take it as “fact” coming from a joker like her. It was a stunt folks! A hilarious one. She is not well read, I doubt she even has a GED with a nasty mouth like that! God Bless America and that all people are welcome to perform on the media should continue to amuse us as joking is funny! Relax and enjoy the joke! We really need it! Need more proof: Only Rednecks get tattoos. Only rednecks don’t wash their hair, she is one of us “rednecks”. Gotta love her!
Seriously… You must be kidding.
She is an ignorant racist.
And… Just to answer your questions…
“Does taxation without representation have anything to do with current goings-on in government?”
Yes, because the people that will pay Obama’s tab are not yet old enough to vote.
“Is President Obama responsible for the financial crisis he inherited from the Republicans? ”
As I recall.. he spent 700 million dollars of other peoples money BEGGING for the job.
As a side note, he has racked up more debt with his plans in 100 days than every US President combined…ever!
I’ll give you a tip… keep getting your news from MSNBC and you can be a smart as she is.
