Hollywood Racists: Janeane Garofalo Attacks Tea Party As "White Identity" Movement

It seems that comedienne Janeane Garofalo was on another one of her tirades against the Right, claiming that the Tea Party Movement is a racist one.  She was on Friday night HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, claiming the "tea baggers" were part of a racist, white identity movement, supposedly "led by the Glenn Becks, the Michelle Bachmans, and the Rush Limbaughs."



Here's what Bob Parks, the Black conservative blogger of Black & Right said about Garofalo (emphasis added):

Her latest mission is to defend someone she clearly deems an inferior (despite the obvious power of his office), Barack Obama ...

For years now I contend that white liberals consider black people their pets, and Janeane Garofalo is no different. But using race as the basis for her argument, especially being a “comedian” who based on her body of work would stay unemployed if she were black, is clearly being done for her own sense of relevance.

Oh, and besides looking at black people as pets, liberals love to use them as well, as reflected with the many actresses who just have to adopt a minority baby as an I’m-better-than-you accessory.

Would white Hollywood EVER show constant depictions of their children as gangsta’ thugs and their women as hos? We always hear different liberal groups get all bent over Playmates or Hooter girls, but when was the last time an industry bigwig ever condemned the slutting of black women in entertainment? I’ve mentioned before the Hollywood exec preference for light-skinned black women, as they’re the ones who get most of the gigs. But has Janeane Garofalo ever asked why black people are presented to the world in such a demeaning way?
...
Janeane Garofalo, in that quest for relevance, is exploiting Barack Obama, and as she’s using race as her basis, is a racist herself. Once she addresses the racist cesspool she freely associates with, she has no business calling any law-abiding, citizen who wishes to protest the direction a president is taking the country, something she clearly is herself.

Probably not, because that’s probably how she sees blacks. Now that an Affirmative Action candidate has gotten the top job, she sees any resistance to Barack Obama as an opportunity to rescue and take him to a shelter for mistreated animals.

Like most liberals, she is gutless and seldom (I can’t think of a recent exception) goes on a venue with equal sides of a debate and participate. She prefers shows like Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann where she can spew unchallenged.

She calls tea party protesters racist teabaggers. If that’s the case, Janeane Garofalo is a Hollywood racist. While the 9/12 crowd protests the president, many liberals in Hollywood still have no problem in harassing and denigrating black people, and do so with impunity.

"Hollywood racist."  I love it, Bob!  Grrrrrrrrr!!!!
