You literally can’t win with some liberals. Oppose Barack Obama on the basis of his destructive policies, and you’re raaacist. Support Herman Cain for any reason, and you’re still a raaaacist. Why, it’s almost as if some people are just waiting to throw down the race card at every imaginable opportunity.
Garofalo: “Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican party. Conservative movement and tea party movement, one in the same.
“People like Karl Rove liked to keep the racism very covert. And so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity say you can say ‘Look, this is not a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look we have a black man.’”
Wait — isn’t that attitude what propelled Obama through the Democratic primary?
love how the left demeans the “conservatives and tea party” in one breath and in the next name karl rove as one of the leading figureheads of the oppressors
there is only so much fail one can be exposed to before the mimicking of frank costanza’s “serenity now” is the only defense from these fools
(sry for double posting)
nevertheless, this response by janeane “i’m so smart because i wear these glasses” garafalo, unmasks, through the left’s habitual projection issues, their own latent racism in electing barack obama in the first place
the longer herman cain stays in the spotlight the better…
Garofalo and the rest of the Hollywood Left all owe us an apology for the mischief they did in helping to get Obama elected.
Just sayin’…
Well! Since Janeane feels so strongly about it here’s what I think she should do next:
She needs to set up a meeting with Herman Cain so that she can tell him to his face what a clueless chump she thinks he is. And then she can patiently explain to him what it means to be a black man in America. I’m sure he would find it enlightening…
Now that’s ONE meeting I would like to witness, “fly-on-the-wall” style!
A pudgy, homely, clinically insane white womyn…has an opinion about the attitudes of 50 million people she has never met, concerning a candidate she doesn’t know, involving a subject on which she has not one scintilla of evidence, an ounce of personal experience, or a dust mite’s worth of credibility….and she is interviewed for what purpose again?
And, we are interested in this interview because….
It’s only racism when they do it.
Leftists turn to accusations of racism because they’ve got nothing left. They can’t persuasively argue that conservative and libertarian ideas are wrong. Attempting to do so only proves us right. So they go straight to calling us names, a tactic that must get some traction with their own kind but looks increasingly ridiculous to me.
I just KNEW that support for Herman Cain would be cast as proof of racism because the left is nothing if not predictable.
Leftist accusations of racism remind me of the “Knights Who Say Ni” skit by Monty Python. Leftists go around screaming racism and people cower and cringe before them, instead of laughing in their faces.
That’s excellent!I will be using that metaphor the next time someone makes an unfounded accusation of racism.
What gutter did Politico have to crawl out of to report on this snipe trash?
“Why, it’s almost as if some people are just waiting to throw down the race card at every imaginable opportunity.”
But then again, what other cards do they have?
GOP dislike of Obama is racist as well as GOP’s support of Cain. Thanks, Janeane. In August, Garofalo suggested that Herman Cain should think a certain way based on the color of his skin — and the Tea Party is racist? … http://placeitonluckydan.com/2011/08/janeane-garofalos-true-ideological-grit/
Why do we give this individual so much of our time? She was on MSNBC (nationwide viewing audience of approximately 6 at any given time– I like to make the argument that conservative sites like NewsBusters generate 50% of their audience just waiting for them to say something offensive) and the last time she was relevent, funny and cute was when she did Reality Bites.
It must hurt to live inside her brain.
Implicit in Gag-awfulo’s statement (and any others who play this card) is the notion that “black” is no longer a race or a nationality but a way of thinking, and that way of thinking is “Vote Democrat.” So, Thomas Sowell, Hermain Cain, Clarence Thomas, Allan West, etc, etc, cannot be “black” because they don’t toe the political line that a pasty-faced ugly middle-aged white woman has set down for them? Ironic, huh?
Oh, lookses at these taters, precious!! Famous celebrity conservative Republican Janeane Garofalo says the following about other Republicans:
“What do they stand for? Torture as a policy. They stand for homophobia. They stand for no reproductive justice. They stand for denying global warming.”
Why do you dummy ideology first deniers sit around calling each other nameses instead of addressing real world problems with smart solutions thought up by scientists and engineers???? OH NOZSES!! COULD IT BE YOU ARE ALL DUMMIES IN THE POCKETSES OF BIG OIL, PRECIOUS????
One hoary old ad hominem used by the Left-Lib-Progs against any evangelical who argues strenuously against homosexuality, as a sin against God and nature, is the evangelical’s own latent or closeted homosexuality. And every once in a while the argument scores a hit, See Haggard, Ted.
Well, I think it’s time we deployed a similar argument against La Garofalo. She preaches against the sin of racism so often and so vehemently, she must actually be a latent or closeted White Supremacist. It only make sense. Seeing racism everywhere, all the time, where no one else can. Her preoccupation with it is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? She’s just trying to distract others’ attention away from her own filthy, dark secret. It’s the only thing which explains her obsessive, insistent, perpetual denunciation of racism and racists.
If ever there was proof that “raaaaaaaaaacist!” is equivalent to “you don’t agree with meeeeeeeee!” Janeane Garofalo embodies it.
