Janeane Garolfalo Talks About The Teabagger Assault
Fox"News" did there little ambush-style interview when they sent out resident reject Griff "Doesn't My Name Sound Like Some Frat Boy From An 80s Movie" Genkins to shove camera and mic in Janeane's face.
Yeah, Sean, she sure is "angry" isnt she.
While Griff seem to think that the only way to tell if someone is a racist is if they are wearing a "pointy-white-hat", he does admit that maybe there were racists at other tea-bagging events outside of D.C.
Sean, on the other hand, has happily allowed racially charged language on his Fox progam as well as blatantly-unapologetic white-supremacists on his radio show, it is no wonder that he would be one of the loudest voices at Fox"News" to decry Garofalo's statements.
While Sean, Griff, and virtually the entire Fox"News" and "Business" channels are still trying to paint this as a "grass-roots" movement, they are more than willing to ignore the very real fact that this is a predominantly "white" demoographic and filled with many ( if not most ) people that are going to see their taxes either decrease or not raised at all. The racism component is very real, and Fox isn't going to be covering that aspect.
Also, it should be pointed out that Garofalo is slowly dialing back the generalization by saying that there are "some" racists within the tea-bagging movement.
If they are actually planning to do this again on July 4th, it will be interesting to see how that turns out.
