Janeane Garofalo: Spokes-idiot for the far left

"Ms. Garofalo applied this accusation of scrotolingus to people who attended the April 15 anti-spending tea parties. Since I was present at one of these in the city in which I reside, does this make me a scrotum-sucking, racist redneck as well? I won't dignify the first half of the accusation with an answer, but since I am black, how do I qualify as a racist redneck?

"The answers to these questions are somewhat self-evident, if this hasn't occurred to you by now. The purulent lexicon of the corpulent Miz G and her vacuous comrades is replete with more relational invective for people like me. As for the rest of the tea party attendees – which included Americans of every ethnic background – I imagine that, given sufficient time, she would have gotten around to applying more specific slurs to them.

"Certainly, it is well within this woman's rights to speak her mind despite being appallingly ignorant and ill-bred. It then becomes the civic duty of one such as myself to call attention to these defects – more especially because, as an entertainer, she is given immediate and unequivocal credibility by the establishment press.

"It is likely that part of what gave Ms. Garofalo perceived license to use that sort of language came from CNN's openly gay anchor, Anderson Cooper, having done so a week before. That incident, in addition to being equally foul and torpedoing what vestiges of credibility his network then possessed, was moronic on its face. It was somewhat like me accusing someone of being 'a commentary-writing, public speaking thus-and-such' by way of insulting them. Honestly: Who is more likely to engage in 'tea bagging' anyway – Anderson Cooper or the average tea party-goer?

"These occurrences are, as many will tell you, a prime example of projection on the part of the far left: They accuse their opposition of being racists, haters, homophobes, xenophobic and so forth, yet they are the ones who are most often demonstrably so. I would wager – given the makeup of the people at the tea parties – that most would have either been amused or horrified by Garofalo's tirade. Those amused would have expected it. Others would have been horrified that such a crude little creature would be given a forum at all.

"All of this is leaving aside the fact that Garofalo's diatribe – like Cooper's commentary – was abject stupidity: She maintained that those attending the tea parties were anti-Obama racists, when nothing could be further from the truth. Speakers the nation over iterated time and again that Obama was not the issue; many called former President Bush to task for the same offenses being committed by the Obama administration. The caliber of the crowd was uniformly middle class. Yet, this woman saw fit to run her meaty mouth in the vein of rednecks, racism and Obama, Obama, Obama. She had no premise.

"To many of us, it's no surprise that the likes of Garofalo have, like poorly-raised junior high-schoolers, descended into the faddish, giggling potty language of the gay subculture. So much the better for them (in their quest to debase America) if such speech comes into common use.

"What really needs to be taken away from this is a lesson the far left has learned well: Nuggets such as these need to be glommed onto and hammered home without mercy. They might well prove to be invaluable in the effort toward educating those Americans who don't know what they're supporting when they throw in with far left politicians, or when they pay heed to the mouthings of dullards like Garofalo simply because they're entertainers.

"Keeping our fellow Americans informed when our government, our schools, the press and our entertainment industry are dedicated to propaganda and disinformation is probably the hardest job that conscientious, morally grounded Americans will have in the years ahead. It is no longer an option, however – it is an imperative."

Thought-policing in Middle America

"Certain Democratic preachers on the Missouri side of the state line, including Kansas City's congressman, the Rev. Emanuel Cleaver, have been engaging in flagrant political shenanigans for a generation without a paragraph of scrutiny from Thomas or the Star.

"Despite the lack of evidence, Johnston took a beating from the Thomas articles. To defend himself, he was forced to hire attorneys and even a public relations firm."

The 100-day assault on America

"Did the president, after campaigning against pork and earmarks, really sign bills that include both? Yes. Will the president's new budget really triple and quadruple the annual deficit? Yes. Will the president's budget really double the national debt within a few years and then increase still more beyond that? Yes. Do the president and members of Congress, many of whom never operated so much as a T-shirt concession booth, really believe that they can 'modernize' health care, thus 'saving' taxpayers buckets of money? Yes."

"Obama offered North Korea a kinder, gentler foreign policy. What did he get in return? The North Koreans, in violation of a United Nations resolution, attempted to launch a long-range missile. The president condemned the act. The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency session. What happened? Nothing. Well, not exactly nothing. North Korea kicked out the U.N.'s nuclear inspectors and announced the resumption of its nuclear weapons program. And North Korea, along with Iran, arrested and imprisoned American journalists.

"On the other hand, Washingtonian magazine graced us with a spiffy, Photoshopped cover of a fit and toned swimsuit-wearing President Obama. So all is not lost."

Was Matthew Shepard just a robbery victim? 20/20 investigation says 1998 murder not an anti-homosexual 'hate crime'

"Shepard, according to the findings of the court, was kidnapped and brutally beaten by Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson after he made a sexual advance at one of the two men at a bar. According to McKinney's then-girlfriend, both men pretended to be homosexual in order to lure Shepard outside and rob him.

"Shepard was later found brutally beaten, robbed and tied to a fence. He died five days later of massive head injuries.

"Shepard's death and the trials of McKinney and Henderson galvanized homosexuals and their supporters across the country, fueling the call for state and federal 'hate-crime' legislation. Conservative Christians were singled out as having created a 'climate of anti-gay hate' where such a brutal act could happen."
