Crybabies protest Janeane Garofalo

When comic and actress Janeane Garofalo pointed out the link between the recent Tea Party farces and militant racism, the wingnutosphere went bugfuck ballistic.

But Garofalo was right. In Cincinnati, Tea Party participants led racist chants - a fact that was swept under the rug by the right-wing media.

Following Garofalo's observation, the response by the Tea Party terrorists was as idiotic as one might expect. To protest Garofalo, the BTPers planned on buying tickets to her shows just so they could heckle her.

Apparently, however, they scrapped this plan when someone pointed out that Garofalo makes money when people attend her shows. They had actually thought one of the most famous comics in America works for free!

But that didn't stop the LOSEianne crowd entirely!

Right-wing talk show host Ken Pittman of WBSM radio in New Bedford, Massachusetts, organized a protest against a Janeane Garofalo appearance near Boston.

Pittman said of Garofalo, "She has exposed herself as a bigot."

And the racist chants in Cincinnati didn't expose the BTPers as bigots???

The right-wing protest against Garofalo's show drew all of 20 people - despite being touted on a station in a nearby mid-sized city. The spur-of-the-moment protests I participated in against abusive teen confinement cults drew almost that many people despite having no media promotion beforehand.

Amazing how the right-wing brain trust can go from dangerously out of control to laughably pathetic in less than 5 years.

It's great to be an American these days!
