Acceptable Hate Mongering?
by Alvaro Alvillar
Yeah-I think I get it? If you’re a media personality of mediocre talent and dubious intelligence like…uh…gee, there’s so many to choose from? Oh, I know, let’s go with Janeane Garofalo now that she’s decided to be a spokesperson for the party of “love, openness and diversity” again. Anyway, apart from proving you’re not smart enough to keep your mouth shut, what happens if you’re a media personality of mediocre talent and dubious intelligence and you openly preach the most vile form of inflammatory hatred towards an entire group/race of people in today’s politically correct climate?
You get a pass and high-fives from the MSM of course, but why?
The answer is complicated but I did cover one of the reasons in my “Formula for Hate” piece in one sentence: “Politically, it’s ok to hate the white man!”
Talent is questionable, what is not in question about her and far too many of these so called “artists” is their ability to memorize lines and, quite frankly, how hard is that? That is why I have no problem questioning Garofalo’s much touted intelligence, or was that just Bill O’Reilly doing that? Why some hosts feel the need to pander to these dishonest people is beyond me, just get on with the interview and be done with it! She has offered no proof to back up her statements, unless prepared hate speech rhetoric that goes unchallenged by other geniuses, like Olbermann, is proof of that.
Yeah, she kinda/sorta looks and sounds smart in an MSNBC cool kids on the same block kind of way, but how would she do without the approving nods from the yes men she seeks out who would gladly get on their hands and knees to provide her a soapbox to climb onto from where up high she can preach to the choir? It’s easy to look and “act” smart when you recite your lines in front of like-minded followers knowing full well that no one in the room will question your words! Wow, isn’t it inspiring how courageous these traitors to the truth are? What’s worse: the bold-faced lies they tell or the fact that some of these intellectuals believe this stuff? I know which one is more pathetic but either way, they must be called out on it every single time from now on. There is no statute of limitations on hatred, she does not get a free pass because the moment has passed.
I happen to know a few people who attended those tea parties and without reservation I can say that they are the furthest thing from ignorant redneck extremist racists that I can think of. This Garofalo has made this personal and you don’t get to “move on” as far as I’m concerned. If she’s considered talented, then I have a young tea party attendee and artist friend who is obviously a freaking genius when compared to the likes of her and she can easily wipe the floor with her in a debate about politics, culture and the arts. I think it would be very clear who the ignorant bigot would be in that encounter.
Come to think of it, since you mentioned someone else by name, Janeane, why don’t you step up to the plate and have a one on one with Michelle Malkin without a liberal moderator and a liberal audience stacking the deck and see who is more informed about the Constitution, The Boston Tea party, taxes, immigration, civil rights, politics, racism, history, congress, the law…you name it! No moderator, no time limit, no crib notes and no interrupting the other as they speak. Well, to that end, there would have to be some kind of guideline about give and take considering the provable fact that liberals love to use their weapon of choice-debatus interruptus. They can’t help themselves, they do it constantly and speak longer while saying less knowing full well the conservative penchant for being courteous, even when it’s to their own disadvantage. To that I say, conservative talk show-ups, it’s time to get a pair and stop letting Ann Coulter (thank you) do all the heavy lifting. Your need to look and sound fair is getting in the way of doing what you’re supposed to do, which is get the message out and prove these lemmings to be the uninformed “lying liars” they are, especially when they lie to your face. That’s their job and apparently they deserve a raise while you deserve to be replaced…”you’re fired!”
LIARS!!! Try it…say it out loud! I am tired of you talking heads going on these television debates just to sit there while these people make you look like fools because you don’t want to appear unkind. ”How’s that working for you?” There is too much to lose and the fact that most self described liberals seem to be unaware of it because they can’t think for themselves is more the reason to state the facts and let the people decide who is telling the truth. After all, it’s easy enough for anyone listening to do some research and find out, but they won’t even know to try if you don’t give them a reason to. Don’t waste those valuable opportunities by trying to be decent to people who couldn’t care less about decency, reason, discourse, the truth or us, the “little guys” they so profess their love and care for! These people are on a mission and they’ve been winning for so long now that they are delusional and don’t care about appearances anymore, especially now that they are in fact in charge of appearances. Right or wrong, their agenda and therefore their message is all that matters to them and you’re on the front lines and close to being the only thing standing between them and the truth. This is not about converting those angry old never worked a day in their lives upper middle class entitled career students/educators/politico’s and their militant left wing strong arm wannabes.
This is about giving an informed “choice” to all the young people who are starting to watch, listen and learn because their lives are being affected by the political going-ons in this country and the rest of the world. Give them the chance to learn and participate, don’t let these cowards of discourse win fourteen out of every fifteen rounds you go with them because you don’t want to come off as unreasonable or worse…”not very nice!” Rope-a-dope tactics clearly aren’t working for you, give it up while there is still more then enough of us to keep this fight alive in this great nation with all the liberties we have enjoyed for over two hundred years. We cannot afford to lose this fight because our elected officials will not stand up to bullies. Do you really want to wake up some day and say, “If only I had…?”
What are you gonna do then? By that time the fight will seem like it was lost a long, long time ago and my kids will be grown up and living in what will feel like some distant galaxy compared to the beautiful (yes, we have are faults) country I grew up in and all because somewhere along the way Americans forgot where they came from and what made this the greatest nation on earth (ever) and lost it in less time then anyone could have imagined. Whether you are religious or not, something divine happened here when those great men convened and drew up the Constitution of the United States of America and it’s time to fight to preserve it just like they fought and died to make it possible. It is timeless and so dead on that only power hungry bottom feeders would need to reinterpret it because in the real world, they would get their asses kicked every time. These people are incapable of winning on an even playing field, can you say Air America, so they must “CHANGE” the rules and “yes we can” stop them.
What they have learned well is that if they promise enough sheeple that they can have everything everyone else has without the struggle and hard work, they will get their votes and they (Franken) can steal the rest. Then they can change the laws and what the ignorant voters don’t understand is that when their saviors are in charge that nothing (their promises) or no one (people who voted for them) matter any longer. They never did!
Nothing else matters but power, just look at Hugo Chavez, los Castro’s, Kim Jong-il, the puppet masters who pull Mahmoud Ahmadejinad’s strings and their mentors: Hussein, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and numerous others, all of them recent history. Haven’t we learned yet? Instead, today’s mouth pieces spend their time and energy focusing on pointing out the absolute evil that is/was Bush because it works, the uninformed bought it. Did you notice what happened to the “monster” that was Bush? He graciously put aside his plans for world domination and then passed the baton to the opposition in a post election ceremony…hmmm? “Only in America” could that happen. That just proves that this is still the one place on earth where that kind of freedom of speech (so far) is still not only tolerated but defended by all of us who are aware that everyone, no matter how ridiculous, vile, inflammatory or stupid they may sound, should be able to speak their mind. It’s the only safe solution to a serious problem and there are laws on the books for those who cross the line from trash talk to violence.
However, since there seems to be an argument from the left about who should be allowed to practice free speech, let me say that the freedom to speak your mind doesn’t mean that those who disagree with you should shut up, go away and/or die. Ya wanna be stupid and hateful in public, go ahead, but the days of media whores slipping away afterwards and the double standard where they try to outlaw (Fairness Doctrine) that freedom from those who disagree with them is over. Although not related directly to the current re-emergence by the democrats to shut down talk radio (for now, who’s next?) through nefarious means, the Dixie Chicks are a good example of what I mean.
Remember them? The lie that they were “victims” of censorship was laughable considering they loudly complained about their loss of free speech in every major magazine, newspaper, television show, news network, radio station, music venue, awards ceremony, mini-mall and gas station in this country and around the world. All this free publicity came about because in their effort to be liked even more in front of an audience in England, one of them spoke her truth (feelings) and water cooler wisdom on Bush. Fine, that’s her right. In turn, their (up to the moment they got wind of this) fans in the good ‘ole USA responded with their own truth and their pocketbooks and suddenly it was an issue about censorship and they (the Chicks) became victims. Cry me a pop/rock/country song! I’d also like to say that in all of the interviews they gave I never once heard a single informed remark by these chicks in defense of their views. It would become the “Bush is stupid and I should know” syndrome, which seemed to be the pandemic of the time.
What is happening is that we have the majority of all media virtually in lock step with the democratic party and a republican party that acts like being demonized by the media for speaking their mind is a new weapon. It seems they have not noticed that this modus operandi has been going on for several decades and their pathetically slow reaction has cost them and more significantly, their constituents a lot of ground while the democrats (hypocrites) get away with calling the republicans the control freaks. Oh, and these liberal politicians are so nice about it, aren’t they? Promising to save everyone from those mean old nasty rich (dems are richer) status quo (again, dems) white (ditto) power hungry (yeah, I know) political devils with equal opportunity, freedom of speech, the pursuit of happiness…wait a minute, isn’t that what the Constitution is all about…who needs any of them?
The liberal progressives or “make ‘em do it our way” party is actually promising a utopia in a world that they themselves have painted as full of humans who are incapable of caring for their fellow man because it’s the nature of the beast (no evolution there) and there’s nothing that can be done about that! They say that on one talk show when it’s convenient and then go right next door to another studio and tell everyone there how with them in charge we can all be one big loving family (instant evolution) and live happily ever after. “Yes We Can” and all you have to do is vote for them! I’ll vote for them when one of them can tell me one place and time that anything like socialism, communism, nepotism (ok, that one works), togetherism or any other ‘ism has ever worked out? Just once? The only ‘ism that benefits others is individualism…you can’t help others if you can’t take care of yourself!
Sadly, enough people are falling for this bread and circuses campaign while they go about their busy Dancing with the Stars, American Idol and Obama worship and text messaging days while fearing the latest MSM distraction from the real dangers (the loss of our sovereignty) as they fill up on change, hope and unity ramblings from politicians who have done very little in over two hundred years to truly make a difference. Nothing has ever worked better then allowing people (individuals) the ability to make it on their own terms, to keep their earnings for themselves and their families and to share it with their neighbors as they see fit, not as some government employee sees fit.
With some obvious exceptions, like the civil rights movement, not a whole lot has changed for the better recently and it’s gotten worse in the last one hundred plus days now. It’s time for those of us who are awake to take this fight anywhere, anytime and “by any (peaceful) means necessary” so long as those who would put their hands on us control themselves. But make no mistake, we will not be intimidated by the ramblings of flavor of the day celebrities or by the fear mongering of those in power. This is our country, not a select fews and we will not go quietly into the night!
This is not only “A Call to Artists” or conservatives, liberals, libertarians, independents, moderates or others who think they already have a dog in the fight but want better then this constant in-fighting, but a call to all of us who love diversity as it already exists in the world and that will surely disappear if anything that reeks of “one world” dogma takes hold and the freedoms already given to us by our founding fathers slip away. It is our duty to pass onto our children what has finally worked and is already ours, not what has failed repeatedly throughout history!

I have so many dogs in this fight, the humane society has added me to their watch list.
In Obama's era of post-partisanship, hate is the new patriotism.
Excellent, JohnJ — I'll have to use that one.
“We deem it a just principle, and it is one the force of which we believe ought to be duly considered by every individual, that all men are created equal, and that all have the privilege of thinking for themselves upon all matters relative to conscience. Consequently, then, we are not disposed, had we the power, to deprive any one of exercising that free independence of mind which heaven has so graciously bestowed upon the human family as one of its choicest gifts."
Joseph Smith Jr.
When one group of people, get what they see as any amount of authority over another, sad experience has proven that a form of unrighteous dominion will occur. The framers of the new Republic were trying to find middle ground between "Tyranny (Total government control) and Anarchy (No government control)….Not Right versus Left policies !!! It seems that they accomplished it rather well. The events of the last few years seem to point to a swing toward Tyranny.
Government seems to feel that it needs to have its grimy stinky fingers in every part of a citizens life. The framers seemed to believe that left alone, the good people of America would use their God given right of Agency (The right to choose for themselves) to thrive, grow, support the government and live responsibly.
It seems that the ruling party (And don't fool yourself, they do see themselves as the ruling party) have taken the approach of "Unrighteous Dominion"……..
The results are that of all the public servants we have….many are called , but few are chosen!
Alvaro, do you actually think one of these trolls like Garafalo actually has the proverbial cojones to sit un-mediated across the table from a Michelle Malkin? That's like asking Obama to turn off his teleprompter. O'Reilly does pull a fast one every time a big lib comes on. He promises a tough interview, but always, always delivers a lot less. I have dreams about the Dixie Chicks facing Wm. Buckley's clipboard on Firing Line.

Thank you for saying what both my husband and I talk about all the time. Watching left say what they want and anyone who dissents is quickly labeled something from the lib handbag of "hate speech," name tags. I could not believe how many MSM pundits referred to the tea party participants as "teabaggers." I have to say how humbled I am at the founders of this country. Their bravery is only equaled by our military who willingly sacrifice their lives and family life to defend what we hold so dear. I am very well educated and when I hear the elitist dialogue coming from some (not all) of the most uneducated actors out there, like they have exemplary degrees it is really revolting. Wow, come on, Jessica Alba who is no alumni of college, only acting school is going to serve on a committee to decide health choices for all Americans. WTF.
It is amazing isn't it that the Dixie Chicks had to fly all the way to Europe to deliver their hate America jargon. Can you imagine if they had tried this at a concert in Dallas?
I don't know where Janeane Garofalo gets off calling me and virtually all conservatives, racist. A child abuser should be careful of throwing stones.
Slav ery will be rectified when America makes good on one of its founding promises: quality public education for all.
Garafalo's rage at the tax protesters was spurred by one protest sign that read "what you talkin bout willis?"
Sadly I'm not making this stuff up.
It's obvious the woman is a bit mental. She was so fresh and funny on The Ben Stiller Show.
She's like the neighborhood crazy cat lady now.
Good lord, what a garbled, verbose, all around hideous piece of writing. This article should've been aborted the moment after conception.
What year was it that the term "coloreds" was deemed highly offensive? 1978?
To Paraphrase old Willie,
First of all, kill all the politicians.
Now that was such an intelligent, well thought out response. Your parents must be very proud of all the money they saved not educating you. Otherwise you would realize that actual discourse is what is done on this site. If you want to just condemn, huffpo is right up your alley. Oh, you are watchdogging for them, that explains it.
Lefties don't debate. They lecture and they shout. When we take the gloves off and hit back, we'll win. Bye bye Marquis of Queensbury.
Did you ever think that English might not be Alvaro's first language, a**hole? For a lib, you sure aren't welcoming to others from other countries, what up with that? I thought that's what you guys accuse all of us conservatives of being? Narrow minded? Racist? I love Alvaro's art, and very much enjoy reading his POV. Is he the most gifted writer who posts here? No, but who cares? I sure don't, and I don't see anyone but you trolling through, Jon, as you do every post here at BH. Why don't you go suck mud?
And how do you plan on that happening with the current crop of uneducated educators? We know what you mean. When "minorities" get schools as good as white folks. We tried that. They ripped the schools up, brought drugs and weapons with them, disrupted what remained of decent education, insisted on creative language and non-English instruction, and formed the illiterate core of the teachers unions. Then they resegregated, the state boards of education rerouted far more money to the ghetto schools per student, and it got even worse. You can't educate someone who resists it and makes sure that nobody else can benefit from what little education remains. You will rectify slavery when the slaves who were freed long ago choose to join society and become educated instead of calling it a white thing. The "slaves" hold the key to their own chains.
No, John. "Coloreds" was deemed highly offensive here by 1968. "Coloureds" may or may not be offensive in England, but you'll have to ask our foreign friend about that.
Rain, lots of folks of a certain leaning only do their "America sucks" routine when they're overseas. Clinton protested Vietnam in England, how many times did Ramsey Clark takes shots while abroad, the Cannes Festival is a big chance for lots of H'wooders to put down the US. So of course that porcine plumpette Natalie Maines and her two rejects-from-the-county-fair-kissing-booth sidekicks mouth off to a British audience. Nobody, and I mean nobody, on the Left will ever take the field in a game that is not rigged. Anytime someone on the Left uses the words courage, heroic or brave when referring to one of their own, their tongues should shrivel like a worm on hot concrete.

where in the world is quality public education for all listed as a founding promise? Is that actually in the Dec. of Ind.? Or the Constitution? If it is I didn't pick up on it.
http://shermansmarch.blogspot.com
Slavery will be rectified when the slaves decide they no longer have to be on the plantation…so far, I see far too many who are quite content with "Masser Gummamint" giving them handouts and far too many telling the ones who do try to get off the plantation that they arent really human and that they are betraying them.
CgntvDssdnt, stop trying to sound like you have a clue. Its quite obvious you dont and we think youre just trying to help keep the slaves on the plantation. Republicans/conservatives (the ones that signed the Emancipation Proclamation and helped eradicate Jim Crow laws) know better.
OK, that's a really dumb statement. Quality education is a founding principle? Slavery will be rectified…? The opposite of slavery is freedom and people have the freedom to decide that school/education is important for success. I have family members who do/did work in the Chicago Public School system. Just the money wasted on vandalism is abhorrent. Kids come to school completely uninterested and unprepared. There are whole neighborhoods in every city where the people need to be re-educated in life. It's gone way beyond 'it's the school', or 'it's the neighborhood' (as Section 8 housing shows). It's the people that are the problem.
In other words, you don't have an intelligent response to Alvaro's point. Got it.
oh, my bad. Did not realize people were so POLITICALLY CORRECT AROUND HERE. Sorry if I "offended" any one. I realize you are probably even more concerned with my spelling anyway.
amazing how we see "how you really feel" after I kick things off with a provocative statement. very interesting.
I also learned that Compulsary Education in the US originated in the later part of the 20th century as part of the "Progessive Era" (think Gangs of New York). Primary level education was confirmed as a human right in 1948.
"its the people that are the problem".
Okay, now that's a really, really dumb statement.
I disagree. Its not quite obvious at all. You have a curt, neat and tidy philosophy. But it does nothing more than avoid and obsolve you of the problem. And that's only what you say. What you do is another story. What America is is allowed to be, that's your betrayal.
sorry, that's wrong. it wasn't a founding principal at all. late 1800's, progressive era, in reaction to massive immigration.
fine, and I did not say that inner city schools are a good model for anything. but surely, there are plenty of school systems around the world that produce BETTER students than our own schools downtown, or out in the rural parts. Why do we neglect our own nation to such a degree?
Actually, it would be 1978 in which the policy to bar black men from the LDS Church (originally instituted by Brigham Young) was changed.
What exactly is involved with "taking the gloves off"? Oh, sorry, I guess you all are still working that out, huh?

I'm holding you personally responsible for this textual travesty. The English as official language nonsense your ilk promotes has led directly to this sad result, forcing this poor guy to embarrass himself by trying to communicate via a tongue he has no command of.
You did this. YOU, I say!
But for truth, no, it's not a command of English issue. His other articles are perfectly readable. This was just a rambling, incoherent spiel.
Ha, ha: Creepy but true point John. I agree. There is so much hate spewing out of America since Obama’s “affirmative action” win.
No, it really isn't. This year we had the most school children murdered ever, and all of it was by other school children. More money for education doesn't fix the problem of gangs, drugs, teen pregnancies, broken families, or peer pressure to NOT succeed at school. That has to be fixed by the people. Republicans try to fix the problem by diverting money to private schools, where the kids who want to learn have the opportunity (and it's an overwhelming success), but the Dems defund it because it takes money away from the bureaucrats and unions. Here in Chicago, they found millions in waste in everything from teacher's lounge furniture to over $100,000 in cappuccino machines. In Detroit, $54 million is missing from the public school system.
The "people" are the problem with that too.
"For a lib, you sure aren't welcoming to others from other countries, what up with that?"
I'm pretty sure Jon is a xenophobic racist. He's trying to address the problem by becoming more Leftist, but hasn't had much success yet. We should be kind to the handicapped.

Wrong. Blacks were always allowed to be members. They were not admitted in to the priesthood. The church has a lay ministry anyway so it is not the same thing as not letting them into seminaries or whatever.
I think it took the church too long to make the change. But at least they did.
oh
yeah now you are really showing us how big your brain is. Give it to us big boy.
So how in many languages are you fluent? No points for Klingon, Elvish or Esperanto.
I've got English, Spanish, and working on German.
"I also learned that Compulsary Education in the US originated in the later part of the 20th century as part of the "Progessive Era" (think Gangs of New York). Primary level education was confirmed as a human right in 1948."
So glad that you decided to amend your statement of ignorance about "founding principles". With the above, i no longer find it necessary to ask you to back up your "late 1800s" statement. The clueless walk amongst us….and you are an avatar of the breed……..I do think that your handle should be expanded to "cognitivedissonance"……HAND
And this is relevant….why?
‘60s radicals, or their offspring, do not engage in reasoned debate. Many of our stiffs (talking heads) that represent us on the idiot box must learn this and fast. The coarsening of public discourse has been defined long ago by the Abbie Hoffman’s, Saul Alinsky’s, of the world. They count on their opposition to use etiquette, civility, reasoning, while they scream power to the people, and bellow the emotions of ignorant mind numb liberal myrmidons. They can’t deal with real determined push back. One of the best examples of this was Oliver North, in his service uniform, spit and polished, and the Democrats witch hunt that was Iran-Contra. Colonel North stood his ground and made the Democrats look dumb, it was wonderful stuff. There are many others Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Carrie Prejean, etc. Stand your ground, and these impetuous children will scurry off back under their rock, seething, it'll be fun.
As stated below…Blacks were never not permitted to be members of the church…..
There were plenty of freed slaves that traveled west to Utah with the Saints because they were accepted into the Church. The non-whites were not allowed to hold the Melchesidek Priesthood until 1978 and if you don't like that, take it up with God………
And I did not join the church until 1984 and if you think I am a racist because of something that happened long ago then you can join the ranks of Janene G. in showing your utter ignorance. Racism is a 2 sided coin that I have learned is bright on both sides.
Then may be you ought to call Obama and ask him why he yanked that DC voucher program that was so successful. I'll give you a hint: it was proving that when parents have a FREE choice in the schools their children attend, it proves that what you want is indeed attainable. Too bad the government (including your man BO) is too invested in the NEA to break the government stranglehold.
Public education will never be successful so long as it is a government-run monopoly partnered with the teacher's unions that denies all parents aside from the rich and the very determined a choice in how their children are educated.
Funny how it all comes back to FREEDOM of choice, and the government's denial of same.
So does Barack Obama have an exit strategy from the banking industry yet? Is he going to give us a timeline for that? Inquiring minds want to know.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Dude, you're killin me…..Are you channeling Rodney Dangerfield???
Finally! A post that reflects my own frustration with the current state of affairs in my country. The part I find particularly galling is that our elected representatives continue to behave like a bunch of whipped dogs. They don't seem to want to ratchet up the public rhetoric and they won't stand up and offer acceptable alternatives to the left's agenda. They need to grow a spine! I'm sick and tired of being characterized as a racist bigot by people who are themselves promoting and furthering racist policies. I think I know a whole lot more about what real racism is having been raised on the Redneck Riviera in the '60's. Frankly, the Garofalo's of this world are willfully ignorant trash.
I guess you've never watched Hannity or Bill O'Reilly, or listened to Michael Savage. No lecturing and shouting on those programs? Come on, get real.
Ollie North made liberals look dumb? "Hi, I'm Ollie North. I used all kinds of cool secret agent names while I illegally sold arms to Iran and illegally gave that money to right-wing terrorists, made mincemeat of Constitutional checks and balances, and perjured myself. The resulting scandal nearly derailed the Reagan Adminsitration. Then I wore all my shiny medals while I testified, and conservatives swooned. Then I used technicalities to get off scott free. And conservatives still think I'm a hero."
I'm sorry–*who* looks dumb?
No, but I am able to understand the " I get no respect" line he used all the time.
No, but I am able to understand the " I get no respect" line he used all the time.
I will not watch 24 until Garafolo is fired. I will not eat at Applebees until voice over of Wanda Dyke is discontinued. I will attend all Tea Parties I can get to.
Excellent article!
I love this site and almost everyone who posts on it (trolls excepted) are articulate, interesting and well-informed. Mr. Alvillar's piece is spot-on and fully describes the Orwellian situaiton that we find ourselves in. That is "progressives" can spew all the hate, bile and bigotry they want and get away with it because they do it in the name of "compassion and fairness." The stranglehold that the Left has on the MSM and electronic culture insures that this double-think will go unchallenged. Having said that I believe that the following is in order regarding La Garofalo. First, we are spending way too much time on what is, after all, an insignificant, ignorant and neurotic personality. Second, wouldn't it be much better to actually do something about it? What we need is a new version of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters who would do nothing except follow Ms. Garofalo from venue to venue and protest her stupid and bigoted remarks. The Left never has any problem mobilizing well-drilled groups of "activists" to protest conservative speakers. Since Ms. Garofalo has taken on the mantle of political spokesperson (and is an idiot on top of it) she is certainly fair game. Any thoughts?
Probably in the would-be E.U. Constitution, one of the idols of liberals everywhere. Which isn't good news for our troll friend here, because even the French rejected it.
Tax resistance equals racism.
hmmm, I guess I missed that when I was in class.
ouch, looks like I was deemed offensive for my politically incorrect word usage. I know I must have really riled up some people – very sorry if offended anyone in particular.
Trolls like Jeanene Garafalo require medication in order to be productive members of society.
agreed. Its embarrasing.
I loved Miss Garafalo's proof that, when interviewed by Griff Jenkins of Fox News, the whole tea party protestwas just just an excuse to "hate a black man." She saw a sign being held up that said, "Whatcha' talkin' 'bout, Willis?" Case closed. That gave her the luxuary of shutting down any further critical thinking, and left her in a comfort zone of profanity laced accusations and finger pointing.
I see more hate – and threat of violence – from the right than from the left. Like this article for example – nothing but a cess pool of hatred. Hatred for Janeane Garofalo and everything she stands for, that is.
There are plenty of brave men and women in uniform that proudly serve our great nation – indeed with courage. And yes, I'm refering to the portion of our military that is on the LEFT.
Yet somehow, while I acknowledge these individuals… alas my tounge does not shrivel.
maybe you didn't go to college?
actually she's a holliwood movie star that is credited with providing some fresh face-ness to the aging 24. I'm sure the advertisers who support that show appreciate her contribution.
Thank you so much for that great laugh, "fresh face-ness" absolutely priceless. She would have to go waaaay back in time to provide that.
Holy cow, TLDR and ya lost me as soon as you mentioned GaROFLo. Haven't we beat that dead horse enough already?
Dangerously insightful! Especially the last line. If only more 'dissaffected" would realise that they have the power to alter their situation and the future for their children. But, alas, their "leaders" (Sharpton, Jackson, Rev. Wright, et. al.) convince them that it's good to stay on the plantation. And the utopian libs and MSM reinforce the mindset. If more messages of self examination could be heard from people like B. Cosby, maybe root causes could work their way into conversations. To what end, one can only hope.
~ps. clever handle.
And what are you doinb besides making unfounded judgements?
No you are right. No one is responsible for their own life. The GOVT is I guess.
Yes, that will work.
Well, you can't spell so obviously you are product of public education. You have proved your own point; Congrats.
The word is ABSOLVE, not obsolve, you moron. Get a spell and fact checker before you post again.
yes, so my imperfect spelling validates your point that public education is a failure?
You heard it hear folks: 100+ year old liberal policy of compulsory education is a FAILURE (based on my lousy spelling). That's right. Brucelee here is suggesting that the US would have been better off if those late 19th century progressives had left the issue alone. Wow – I think that's a position you and your fellow teabaggers can really take to the polls. See you in 2010.
Wow, they hate her & she hates everyone else. I guess the scales are balanced now?!?!
Oh, thank you so much for helping me with that, A-HOLE. (oops, I guess I didn't spell that right either!)

"Freedom of the mind requires not only, or not even especially, the absence of legal constraints but the presence of alternative thoughts. The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity, but the one that removes awareness of other possibilities." —Alan Bloom
What's next? So much skin in the game you need a graft?
Acting is not reciting lines. Stop saying that.
Neat and tidy philosophy? Funny how Common Sense is now "neat and tidy" – logic always seems that way to those who refuse to exercise it. As for "avoid and obsolve [sic]…the problem" – honey child, the Slavery of 100+ yrs ago was NEVER my problem – *I* havent bought/sold/kept any slaves – so quit trying to make me and millions of other innocent Americans responsible for something a bunch of greedy covetous backwards thinking Democrats used to justify as an ends to a means!
And what the hell do you think conservativism is but trying to avoid slavery! Massar Gummamint don't care what skin color I have despite protests to the opposite…they want my money and they are going to get it by refusing to uphold the Bill of Rights. And if they can convince a population of people that they cant do anything without Massar Gummamint then you have a heck of a lost worse problems to deal with than whether or not I feel bad for a problem I had nothing to do with!
There's betrayal all right, but its not who you think it is. Grow up and get a clue.
Okay, please explain "Massar Gummamint".
And yes, any American that says "Slavery of 100+ yrs ago was NEVER my problem" is trying to wash their hands and they are being a lousy American.
