Queen Janeane (Garofolo) HATES AMERICA!
http://www.mensnewsdaily.com/archive/t/tremoglie/2004/tremoglie080204.htm
She is a gadfly of the Bush administration.
A vitriolic critic of George Bush, Republicans, and the war in Iraq,
Janeane Garofalo has made a more impressive career of being an antiwar
protester than she did as a comic. She is a frequent guest of radio
talk shows --- and hosts one of her own. A comic, actress, and author,
she is a multifaceted individual. She is even a philosopher. She once
wrote a book in which she said, "Many people feel that mass acceptance
and smooth socialization are desirable life paths for a young adult...
Many people are often wrong... Don't bother being nice. Being popular
and well liked is not in your best interest. Let me be more clear; if
you behave in a manner pleasing to most, then you are probably doing
something wrong. The masses have never been arbiters of the sublime,
and they often fail to recognize the truly great individual. Taking
into account the public's regrettable lack of taste, it is incumbent
upon you not to fit in." (italics mine) In other words, she thinks she
should be obnoxious because the average person is an idiot, and by
being different and abhorrent, she can demonstrate her superiority.
The corollary to this is because she is superior the rules for mere
mortals do not apply to her. Garofalo will bristle if someone says
she is un-American for protesting the war in Iraq. Yet, she quite
easily calls other people traitors, as she did President Bush during
an interview with Sean Hannity at the Democratic National Convention.
Garofalo will condemn anyone who would utter a racial slur. However,
Garofalo can easily use the word "cracker" when referring to southern
whites as she did during this same interview with Hannity. Being the
intellectual giant that she is, Garofalo knows full well that the term
cracker is, "used as a disparaging term for a poor white person of the
rural, especially southeast United States," according to the American
Heritage dictionary. Insulting people gratuitously, calling people
traitors, and using ethnic slurs are permissible for the great
philosopher, social
commentator, and moralist Janeane Garofalo. It is not permissible for
the hoi polloi. She is also a brilliant political theorist. An example
of her brilliance is this quote, "The world would be better off with
multiple
superpowers. When Communist USSR was a superpower, the world was
better off." The world was better off when millions of people were in
Gulags and enslaved by Eastern European dictators? So all those people
who were shot trying to get to West Berlin just did not know what was
good for them? Of course, Garofalo does not think Communism or
Communists were a threat. She believes America is evil. This sage
actually thinks that America was responsible for the killing fields of
Cambodia - rather than the Maoist Khmer Rouge who planned to make a
utopia. She was supposed to star in a sitcom that was cancelled by ABC
about a year ago. Garofalo is certain it is because of her anti-Bush
politics. Obviously, she is so important and since there is no such
thing as an anti-Bush TV comedy that could be the only reason. After
all, it could not be her lack of talent. Like all geniuses, Garofalo
is a bit eccentric. She named her
production company, I Hate Myself Productions. Obviously, this is an
indication of her self-loathing and preoccupation with herself. This
is why she believes in the Michael Moore conspiracy theories. She is
so different and so smart that she can determine the truth. Janeane
Garofalo is just another example of the type of person Orwell referred
to when he wrote, "One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe
things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool." Although, she
may not belong to the intelligentsia (albeit she certainly considers
herself a unique genius), yet she is quite the fool. She is the latest
of a group of people who buy into conspiracy theories. Just like those
who think that John Wilkes Booth was not killed by soldiers twelve
days after he assassinated Lincoln and those who think Jesse James was
not killed by John Ford. Janeane Garofalo knows the truth because she
is so much smarter and more moral than the rest of humanity.
Sanctimonious, supercilious, and sciolistic, Garofalo sounds like a
typical liberal

Breaking sharply with the enforced harmony of the Democratic National
Convention,the president of the
largest AFL-CIO union said Monday that both organized labor and the
Democratic Party might be better off in the long run if Sen. John F.
Kerry loses the election.
