Title: Janeane Garofalo; No apology for Tea Party "Racist" people - "Glenn Beck not Challenged"??? View count: 16171 Rating: 3.5578947 (95 ratings) Description: Janeane Garofalo called us; teabaggers, rednecks, and a bunch of racist hicks. She hurt my feelings, and now she offers me no apology? I'm heart broken. How will I go on knowing how she really feels about me? My life is now empty, it is void, I don't know what to do anymore; I am lost without her. That was a week ago for about 1/4 second, and I believe that it was just a dream I had. I have now recovered, and I no longer need her in my life anymore; I am my own man. I will have to go on without that witty humor of hers that I used to not be able to live without (in my dreams). I feel that I am stronger because of this experience. I know now that I don't need the approval of the whacky left in order for me to be whole. I will go on without their approval from now on. I now know that my core principals do not need the approval of celebrities in order for me to express them, and to live them. Maybe after Obama and his cohorts in congress get done taking her money away, she will then come over to our side, and be one of us, a Tea Party Patriot. But I guess that I should not hold my breath for that or her apology either. jbranstetter04 Garofalo: Tea Party Goers Are Racists Who Hate Black President During last year's election campaign, liberal media members treated Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin with a hatred most Americans had never witnessed from the press. On Thursday's "Countdown," MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and his guest Janeane Garofalo defamed fellow citizens who attended the prior day's Tea Parties with the same vitriolic contempt. Garofalo actually called Party-goers "a bunch of teabagging rednecks," adding "this is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up." But that's just the beginning, for what Olbermann and Garofalo engaged in Thursday evening is amongst the most vile, hate-filled attacks on average American citizens ever conveyed on national television by so-called journalists.

You know, there's nothing more interesting than seeing a bunch of racists become confused and angry at a speech they're not quite certain what he's saying. It sounds right and then it doesn't make sense. Which, let's be very honest about what this is about. It's not about bashing Democrats, it's not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don't know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. And there is no way around that. And you know, you can tell these type of right wingers anything and they'll believe it, except the truth. You tell them the truth and they become -- it's like showing Frankenstein's monster fire. They become confused, and angry and highly volatile. That guy, causing them feelings they don't know, because their limbic brain, we've discussed this before, the limbic brain inside a right-winger or Republican or conservative or your average white power activist, the limbic brain is much larger in their head space than in a reasonable person, and it's pushing against the frontal lobe. So their synapses are misfiring. Is Bernie Goldberg listening? OLBERMANN: Russ. GAROFALO: Because Bernie might not have heard this when I said this the first time. So, Bernie, this is for you. It is a neurological problem we're dealing with. OLBERMAN: Well, what do we do about it, though? I mean, our friend in Pensacola there who played them like a $3 fiddle and led them right down the garden path with nothing but facts and then they went, wait a minute, that doesn't sound like Rush Limbaugh. If you can't get them to make that last leap to what are we all doing here, Howard Johnson is wrong, how do you break through that? GAROFALO: I don't think you do, for most of them. This is a -- it's almost pathological or elevated to a philosophy or lifestyle. And again, this is about racism. It could be any issue, any port in the storm. These guys hate that a black guy is in the White House. But they immigrant bash, they pretend taxes and tea bags, and like I said, most of them probably couldn't tell you thing one about taxation without representation, the Boston tea party, the British imperialism, whatever the history lesson has to be. But these people, all white for the most part, unless there's some people with Stockholm syndrome there.
