Garofalo Tea Party Protesters 'Functionally Retarded Adults

What is wrong with this woman? I'm seriously asking. In what way did the last eight years harm her? She obviously is still able to spew hatred and pure lies in public; so I don't think her right to free speech was affected.

In a twisted light, this woman personifies why this is such a great country to live in; she can freely say just about any nutty thing imaginable and people actually pay her to hear it. Heck, she's a regular on Olbermann's show. Can any lib out there tell me with a straight face that Glenn Beck has ever said anything worse than this? I don't think you can.

Here's some of Newsbusters analysis.

"You probably already knew Jeanane Garofalo was no fan of conservatives, Republicans or just about anything that could be described as right of center. But the former Air America host and MSNBC regular really has a low regard for conservative activists.

In an appearance at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 21, Garofalo ripped into tea party protesters, or what some of the wizards of smart on the left have deemed "tea baggers" calling them "functionally retarded adults" and "racists."

"Do you remember tea baggers?" Garofalo said. "It was just so much easier when we could just call them racists. I just don't know why we can't call them racists, or functionally retarded adults."

I love your reply, it makes so much sense! Obviously i must be stupid if i left an underfunded school to attend college!

there is no reason to be a douche bag just because you disagree with someone. It simply screams immaturity and ignorance.

The teabaggers aren't shameful, they are a fucking embarrassment and so are assholes like you!

Big corporations are the oppressors. They are allowed to buy politicians. We need regulation. Regulation against tyranny=freedom.

@26TheFallen26 Well,some people hate Obama for a different reason.They don't hate him becouse they think he's an Atheist or becouse they think he's a communist,or becouse they think he's Hitler,or becouse they think he's a secret muslim,they hate him precisely becouse Obama was unable to fullfill his promises.That's all.Obama dissappointed pretty much everyone.Obama was supposed to fix the chaos caused by Reagan and the Bushes,and he made it a little bit worse.

This bitch needs to choke on a dick and die. We dont hate Obama because we are racist. We hate him because he is an idiot and will do nothing but drive our nation even further into the ground than he already has

The tea party is not entirely racist, but that is definitely a part of their make up. On the other hand we are severely over taxed. I have an idea to solve that but the tea party wont like it. cut the military in half, end the wars, make the military what it is supposed to be, a defense force for d3efending us held territory. The wars are unnecessary and unjust anyway. That alone would save enough to start us in a new direction anyway. Also, no more bailing out rich people in any way.

Hang on this one is a bigot and a dumbass

@logicnreason1 You dont have to meet the majority of teabaggers to come to that conclusion. Its like Beck, Rush, Oriley, Barton, Robertson, Falwell, they all wreak of illrational, delusional thought. If you include the word "god" in the same paragraph as politics, or same sentence, I then lose all respect for you and your followers.

@kendrickdk Whatever makes you sleep better at night. Keep dreaming.

[logicnreason1]

 She is anti-intellectual and full of vague accusations and bigoted, narrow minded comments.

[logicnreason1]

@saganhill  I suppose you have met and talked to a majority of members of the tea party in order to make such a sweeping accusation.

@matty18972 I never said don't spend money, I said don't spend money that you don't have and wouldn't have after decades of economic growth. You don't even know the definition of Laissez-faire since that has absolutely nothing to with this. This would be about government overspending, not government intervention in our private sector. I cannot believe the stupidity of our government subsidized education system.

[matty18972]

@Nightsblood192 Outsourcing is one thing. Not having anything MADE here in FACTORIES is another. Bush created a monster that no one can kill. Also, how do you expect anything to get better if you don't spend any money. Your bullshit laissez-faire economics don't work. I'm fucking done with you. Good night.
