Hollywood Left Seething Over Success Of Tea Parties

Submitted by Robert Lindquist on Mon, 04/20/2009 - 8:03am

Do the math. Approximately 800 Tax Day Tea Parties nationwide, with an average of 1,300 attendees each (most likely a conservative estimate, but no one knows for sure), and that's over one million angry fellow Americans, fed up with the the government is spending our money. With numbers like that, you have to expect a backlash from liberals who were caught totally off-guard by the success of the Tea Party movement, thus far. Even on the day of the events, President Obama claimed he was unaware of the TDTPs and certainly came off as convincingly clueless as to there purpose. So now enter the publicity seekers of the Hollywood left who see the Tea Parties are a great way to score some free press and face time on MSNBC with Keith Olberman.

First up comedian Janeane Garofalo, whose greatest claim to fame may have been walking off Saturday Night Live mid-way through the 1995 season claiming that the material was weak and sexist. While few would argue that sexism ever stopped SNL from presenting a potentially offensive bit, now Garofalo is claiming that anyone who attended a Tea Party is a racist. In the accompanying video, Garofalo appears to be seething with anger as claims the Tea Parties are about "Hating a black man." She claims that the TDTP protesters don't even know what the Boston Tea Party was all about and that they are all "racist rednecks." Several things are real obvious here.

First, this individual is just as clueless as the President, with regard to the actual TDTP events. Second, she shows her ignorance in referring to President Obama as a "black man." His mother was white, so he is infact "multi-cultural" which is, I believe the politically correct term. Anyone who did attend a Tea Party event knows full-well that the movement does not target Obama. It targets big government, high taxes and wasteful spending and goes right back to things that happened during George Bush's 2nd term, so again, this Hollywood publicity seekers ignorance defies any logic, which brings us back to Keith Olberman. Why on earth would he invite someone who is so out of touch with reality to make these statements on his program? Maybe that explains why, on April 15th, Fox News had 3.4 million viewers, and MSNBC had 1.2 million.

Here's the video, but keep that barf bag handy...
