Psychologists call this "transference." When a racist (Garofalo) who is a member of a racist party (Democrats) transfer their own racist attitudes onto their opponents. It happens all the time.
And the best part of it that Racial groups have come to fawn over the Democrats as their savior when they are Useful Idiots that give the Party power for generations in certain areas while keeping the racial groups as Slaves eerr Serfs is a better term for their self inflicted wounds (while waiting for their saviors the democrats to bring them out of their woes). Untold trillions thrown at the problem has not fixed the problem in over 40 years, so it ain't going to happen.
Oh, I think that there are some racists left in America, on both sides of the racial divide. And I have heard a racist joke or two, seen a racist email or two, seen a racist performance or two since Jan 20th.
That was the date of the In-(n-word)-uration, according to some folks.
What does that have to do with the tea party goers?
The tea party goers were a very, um, diverse group, so it is safe to assume that some of the 'watermelons growing on the White House lawn' types were there.
That is just a guess because I don't attend rallies or protests. Just not my thing, and I was a student during the golden era of student protests.
I saw some photos showing the 'Obama wasn't born in the US' nutbars there, so the serious haters couldn't have been far behind.
Hey that reminds me of a riddle I just thought of. What do President Obama and steamed have in common?
Give up?
Neither one is really Muslim! HAR!!
Your comments are just as ridiculous as Garofalo's. You both inject racisim into something that clearly was not.
Using your logic:
The Million Man March attendees were a, um, diverse group, so it is safe to assume that some of the 'kill whitey' types were there.
I saw some photos showing the 'Reparations now for the wrongs of the past'nutbars there, so the serious haters couldn't have been far behind.
Therefore, the Million Man March was nothing more than a hate filled racist gathering that served no purpose.
Sorry, but you made MY point and not the other way around. Still a LOT of racists on both sides of the racial divide. The Million Man March and the Teabaggers are both examples of that fact.
QED
QED, I think not. I am not claiming the motivating factor of either demonstration was racisim. Garofalo did. Your comments lead one to believe that, to a point, you agree with her. You assume that there were a bunch of racists there, even though you admit you didn't attend any gathering. You saw a photo about a birth certificate and that means the Klan was there.
The fact of the matter is racisim had nothing to do with a vast majority of people being there and for you and Garofalo to imply any different is a joke.
I found it disturbing that initial white house reaction was.. right wingers...nut jobs... rush limbaugh.. unamerican...but last night O'bama says he demanded..lol .. 100 million in cuts from his cabinet in the budget.. because of the tea parties... its either in your pants or in your sister... not both White House.
Now you are just being silly.
You give a perfectly solid example of a protest demonstration that had racist elements in it and then pretend not to see the same thing (from the opposite direction) in another example that is just as obvious.
Garofalo is a pig. She and Rosie need to team up, create a talk show no one watches where they discuss Almond Roca's and Clay Aiken.
Sorry, but you can only play the race card so many times before it gets a little tiring to hear. This is about abusive spending of our tax money by the government.
jessie jackson and al sharpton live on that card... time to burn the house of cards down.

Looks like someone has been forgetting to take their meds. But I have to hand it to her, she has that ad hominem attack down pat.
