Janeane Garofalo

Janeane Garofalo was not a big fan of anti-tax tea parties. Janeane Garofalo is saying that the reason for the April 15th anti-tax tea parties was racial hatred. Appearing on the Kristin Chenowith show, she said that tea party attendees were motivated by fear of an African-American in the White House. From a transcript at the Village Voice : JG: But [the protest] has nothing to do with anything factual, it has everything to do with their distaste for the black man in the White House. KC: That is so ugly. JG: I hear after the tea bag, there was a lot of balls...a ... Read Full Story

SHOCKING! Janeane Garofalo once did comedy gigs for the American Communist officials in Los Angeles! So naturally this is the woman who says that all Tea Party protestors are dumb "Rednecks." Well, it'd say little ole Janeane should know all about the color RED and STUPID. Garofalo officially began her career in stand-up comedy in the late 1980s during the pre-grunge era. Her appearance was often in line with late 1980s style: disheveled with thick black glasses and unkempt hair. Her comedy is often self-deprecating; she has made fun of popular culture and the pressures on women to conform to body image ideals promoted ... Read Full Story

You all read American Girl In Italy ’s takedown of Janeane Garofalo in “ ‘this is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks’ .” Now, via The Right Scoop , we have a mash-up of Ms. Garofalo’s wildly inconsistent — and might I add anti-democratic? — thoughts on the importance of dissent: Ms. Garofalo’s inconsistencies go further than dissent, as you’ll see below: She was one of the loudest, most vociferous opponents to the Iraq War and to the torture at Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other U.S. bases. In 2003, on her Air America radio show, she called Attorney ... Read Full Story

I wasn’t going to waste my time writing about this quote from Janeane Garofalo , but how often is it that you can find such a colossal example of ignorant, bigoted, insulting, stupid, arrogant, uninformed, malicious, moronic, intolerant, close-minded, idiocy from just one person? Usually you would to combine Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Rosie O’Donnel to come up with equal stupidity to what Janeane Garofalo said. In case you haven’t heard, here is what Janeane Garofalo said about EVERYBODY that attended a tax day tea party: “Let’s be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It’s not ... Read Full Story

I admit it, one of my favorite movies is Wet Hot American Summer, and I actually thought Janeane was funny in it. Other than that...where is her career? She is some sort of computer geek on the 24 series right now and occasionally shows up on Countdown with thespian Olbermann to denounce republicans and radio personalities, whoop-de-doo. Keeping it on a level of criticism against public personalities was fine enough, it was offensive but not stooping to a low level of blanketing a large portion of the population, until this past week. Side note: I don't care enough to see if Janeane said blanketing ... Read Full Story
