It's looking more and more like that each and every day.

I don't honestly think it's racism. It's not that there's a black man in the White House. It's that it's not their black man in the White House.

It's all about sour grapes.

I think it's a good bit of both.

That's nice. Wake me when a credible conservative calls out the 'teabagging' for what it is. Everyone expects Garafolo (sp) to fall to one side. It'd be refreshing to hear a smart Republican publicly ask, "WTF?"

While i tend to think she's a farking nutter, she's right here.

A sizable portion of the crowd I saw in NYC was angry because Obama is not white and they don't think he's christian.

Some are there because of their disdain for current economic policies. But most are there because "waaaaah we lost" and a LOT of them are only mad enough to protest because of what they see Obama as, not because of who he is.

Do they have a black man? A real one, not a token one?

I say they but i'm not on the other side, or their side, i'm on my side, of the pond.

Cry me a farking river. What the left wing nuts did when Bush was in office is no different, nor is what the right wing nuts did when Clinton was in office. It's not about race, it's about wharrrgarbl.

That was bad, but on the next segment, Olbermann had this spokesperson for the DNC on to respond to the tea parties:

So now the racism card is in play anytime somebody disagrees with policy.

You've played your trump. That's it, there is nothing left after labeling opposition as outright racism. Way to go there, Hollywood lady.

... and "their" black man would be???

Do THEY even know?

I'm sure the black thing isn't helping, but I don't think it's at the core of most detractor's concerns.

bingo.

It's time for Republicans (and of course, Independents) to get even for the way Bush was treated (for no reason at all). I hope they can keep it up for the next 4 years and that the United States becomes a forgotten concept. I also hope we make no progress at fixing any of the problems we face right now, because team is way more important than country.

Get even with the lefties, guys. It's your duty to your team. Don't ever cooperate and don't stop getting even. You are justified and you are right.

Dancin_In_Anson: Gee...ya think?

Well, I hadn't really heard anybody that I consider respectable willing to take that cop out yet. Frankly, I still haven't.

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.

yeah, it's completely the opposite of what hannity, bill-o, rush, beck, savage et al do on a daily basis.

good grief.

Finally, someone else who agrees that Garofalo and Olbermann are cut from the same cloth as those agit-prop talking heads.

nekom: Cry me a farking river. What the left wing nuts did when Bush was in office is no different

I don't recall ever protesting tax hikes when I was getting a tax cut.

Wow, even among the quasi-racist people I know, I've never so much as heard one negative comment about Obama's race. It's all about the politics and policies.

I'm sure it exists, but it exists ten-fold more in the minds of the people trying to explain the criticism.

nekom: Cry me a farking river. What the left wing nuts did when Bush was in office is no different, nor is what the right wing nuts did when Clinton was in office. It's not about race, it's about wharrrgarbl.

Normally I would be inclined to agree with you, and like many I believe that race is most definitely a boy-cry-wolf phenomenon.

However, as the weeks drag on I am beginning to see very thinly veiled racism across this nation, towards its leader. I simply see no other valid reason for the extreme levels of misinformation and the proliferation of those who proffer it. As I mentioned in another thread, Obama can act on his apparent commitment to the 2nd Amendment, but it will only result in more gun sales each time his face appear on a TV. His overall tax plan will not result in hikes for the vast majority of the people protesting...'tax hikes'...who were conspicuously silent during the hulking expense of the war in Iraq, eroding rights in the guise of 'freedom,' and, of course, Big Government bail-outs. Also, there is this obsession with his religion, which in many eyes is literally a black/brown/white issue. Put simply, I have never seen half a nation so blatantly revolted by a leader, particularly so early in tenure. While I can't prove it, I have to admit the very real possibility of straight-up racism as a culprit.

There are precious few other explanations for the extreme levels of irrationality we've seen.

It is different because Hannity and the others do what they do out of love for their country. Unlike the left who are simply irrational animals who attack because they are selfish and greedy.

Sadly, this isn't just wharbagarbl:



And DIA, as someone who lives in his area, I can tell you that Watts is about as "politician" as they come.

Actually, the original statement is correct. The peope that hannity, bill-o, rush, beck ad savage rail agaist aren't true American citizens.

Tidy package, isn't it?

So you think Phil Mickelson's breasts are sexier then?

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

She's a comedian, right? Is this one of her comedy routines?

Blues_X: Sadly, this isn't just wharbagarbl:

Yes, clearly this gentleman, with his reference to a mediocre sketch comedy show from the late 1980's that you have interpreted as overtly racist, was expressing the sentiments of all participants at all locations across the country.

muck4doo: She's a comedian, right?

And former Air America personality.

You're supposed to put that word in quotes.

She played pretty good support roles on The Ben Stiller Show.

You're supposed to put that word in quotes.

She played pretty good support roles on The Ben Stiller Show.

She also participated in that crime against humanity called "Mystery Men." Ben Stiller still owes me $8 and two hours of my life back for that travesty.

calling in living color mediocre?!?! for shame!

"Liberal intellectual"? Garafalo is an actress.

Blues_X: And DIA, as someone who lives in his area, I can tell you that Watts is about as "politician" as they come.

One might think that a guy that was in Congress is a politician.

Janeane, you're a Scientologist. That pretty much puts you outside rational discussion of issues.

I weep for America when Janeane Garafalo is considered a farking intellectual.

I agree with her, and anyone who disagrees with me is by definition an ignorant racist. You disagreers are all about hating the white man on Fark.

I could not possibly agree with this more.

My right wing friends keep telling me that these teabagging parties are all about taxes, bailouts and gov't spending. If this is true, why do I always see anti-Obama signs when I see pictures of these events?

Tea Parties are nothing more than thinly veiled right wing backlash at losing the election. What I find funny is that as long as it was the Republicans pissing away our money, no protests were needed. Now that the Republicans don't have power it's ZOMG I'M OUTRAGED AT GOVERNMENT SPENDING.

Speaking of teh funnay the people carrying signs with Ayn Rand references crack me up. I doubt more than a fraction of the people carrying the signs even knew who Rand was before they started carrying it. I'd love to quiz one of these morons about Rand's books, philosophies and objectivism. I'm sure I'd get blank stares and whargarbbll.

Who really gives a flying rat's anus what some two-bit C-list actress has to say?

If Patricia Heaton made some disparaging comment about Obama, I wouldn't care either. Just because she's allegedly famous, doesnt mean her opinion counts more than anyone elses.

Hollywood =/= important.

She is?!? How disappointing. She's tainted forever to me now.

I've got some pity for her, then.

Really? I liken Mystery Men to Idiocracy--a really good, funny concept that lacked a lot in execution. But it's been a while since I've seen it.

I <3 Janeane.

In all seriousness, her two best performances in her career was the waitress she played in "The Cable Guy" and when she played herself on the Sopranos. How sad is that?

i watched this segment. it seemed to me like she was using hyperbole as a comedic device. at first i wasn't sure, but as the segment went on, she kept getting more and more outlandish in her claims.

i mean, she compared them to frankenstein's monster seeing fire. and was discussing their brain physiology. and kept falling back on prior points like explaining things with stockholm syndrome. and commented there were "tens of people" that showed up. these are all absurd statements... you know, jokes.

plus, whether or not you like her work, she is actually a comedian.

but whatever, get worked up over it, i'm sure she cares what newsbusters thinks.
