OK, so here we are with another example of poor choices by the media in how they covered the recent tea parties.
What in the world makes any news host think that Janeane Garofalo is some kind of “expert” on the matter. From what I’ve seen she’s been known for making racy remarks and for being a hard core liberal, so why would any respectable news outlet (haha, I know oxymoron here dealing with this outlet in question) have someone on, allow them to make such disrespectful remarks that basically denigrate an entire group of Americans, then say nothing to stand up to it. I mean Keith Olbermann all but agrees with her, he might as well have stood up and applauded her!

How dare anyone call these people racists. Racism has nothing to do with this. If this was a white president the left would of course just find another reason that these groups of conservatives, republicans, and some democrats I might add! were getting together to assemble or protest anything, because we are always wrong right!? It doesn’t matter that they were trying to stand up for something they believed in, or that they were speaking out about protecting what our country was founded on, on keeping government small, on lowering our taxes, on controlling the spending, no none of that matters, because to them they (us) are all just a bunch of racist “tea bagging rednecks.” There’s certainly no generalizing or predjudice in her remarks, no none at all!

Check out the aformentioned video below, I suggest avoiding the comment section on the video, there’s equally ignorant people there.

Now if a republican/conservative actor or actress went on some news show regarding a protest and said that those people were just a bunch of crazy “n**gers” or dirty “wet b**cks” well there would be an uproar! and rightly so, because it’s wrong.

But not when a liberal actor/actress does it, and not when it’s referencing the constantly bashed south or “red necks” as they call them, not when it’s about a cause that relates to conservatism, or faith or religion, or any ideal they don’t agree with.

What more can I say, it’s getting worse and I expect it will only continue to be that way.

Maybe I’m just crazy, or maybe the media is wrong, or maybe the truth is that the media was trying to meet a quota as to how many times they or a guest could say “tea bagging” in one week. Yeah, that’s probably it.
