What’s so progressive about hypocrisy?

Michelle Malkin easily bats away the pretentiousness of Hollywood gnat, Janenane Garofalo. Even more than the pretentiousness, however, it is the hypocrisy that rankles.
From the safety of her Tinseltown cocoon, she has lashed out bitterly at tea party activists as “teabagging rednecks” and assailed their fiscal-conservative activism as “f***ing redneck douchebaggery. Unmitigated douchebaggery” — all while complaining about the lack of civility in politics. In 2009, Garofalo ignored a personal invitation from Texas Tea Party activist Katrina Pearson and other black conservatives to attend one of their rallies and meet reality.
Confronted by reality, liberal pieties melt like a scoop of ice cream on a July afternoon in Death Valley, leaving unthinking ideologues like Garofalo curled up in a fetal position repeatedly shrieking non sequiturs like “teabagging rednecks!” I am convinced that, beyond a certain point, adherence to liberalism is truly a form of mental illness. It has all the symptoms: denial, projection, persecution-mania, narcissism, coprolalia. Tellingly, it’s also the one illness for which Democrats will never seek to fund treatment.

Michelle also takes on Maxine Waters, who possesses the highest mouth-to-brain ratio in Congress.

"... anytime I see a person of color or a female in the Republican party or the conservative movement or the Tea Party, I wonder how they could be trying to curry favor with the oppressors.”

Anytime I see or hear of Janeane Garofalo, I despair that we ever opened up all the mental hospitals and turned the inmates out.

As for Maxine Waters telling us all to go to hell --- right back atcha, babe.

Her mouth can be heard, but what proof do you have, that she has a brain?

What these cretins don't understand is that the Tea Party is not Republican. I've met Democrats, Independents, and Declined To State at Tea Parties. This point needs to be made everytime. These are the people who buy records, go to movies, and vote.

As for Maxine Waters, she must be getting dementia because she keeps getting her itinerary mixed up with ours. Thankfully, we won't have to see her in the next life. That goes for Janeane, Sean, Babs, Danny,....Now there is another congress critter (Wilson) who just signed up for that trip.

Well, I don't want to dispute that too much, but are you aware of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee?
