Garafolo says tea parties were racist (middle east, conspiracy, free speech, Pittsburgh)

[Miborn]

BOYCOTT 24 as long as she is on the TV show!
What a hypocrite she is to take a paycheck from FOX!

teabaggers= I demand my social issue policing enforcement or else. Civil disobedience is a tantrum to remind congress just how ignorant their constituents truly are. How dare they not force everyone to live as I do- those are MY constitutional rights! Hate everything that Fox tells me to, yessirreee.

Omle, you've defined the movement well. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Calling the movement "teabagging" while chuckling like a 5th grader. On par with sub-standard journalism by GenY hacks and status quo leftists and pretty much defines the anti-tea party movement.

WHY would MSNBC support the rants of Janeane Garofalo, the outrageous Rachel Maddow show about the Tea Parties, etc. Why the station supported such venomous assults on average American taxpayers didn't make sense - figured it was just for ratings.
Turns out - perhaps there may be more than meets the eye.

MSNBC of course is an NBC station.
GE owns NBC.
(Keep in mind there are different divisions of GE.)
GE got a $139 billion bailout in November, there is talk that they may be needing more.
GE has invested and relied on their green products divison for profit - profits have been down, they do not expect to reach their target of $25 billion, but do expect things to improve due to the stimulus bill.
GE has invested a lot of money lobbying govt for the Cap and Trade.
GE has a joint venture called Greenhouse Gas Services, which is to invest and trade in greenhouse gas credits generated by the Cap and Trade bill.

Hmm, certainly raises an interesting perspective on WHY MSNBC would launch such an assult to discredit those who attended the Tea Parties to voice their opposition to govt spending.

The vice-president of GE Ecomagination has stated the stimulus will get their deals flowing again, sees growth in carbon capture and in storage tech.

Oh, and before you post the "only the minority and poor". Nope, that doesn't wash.

Maybe time to go crusade for a cat rescue organization.

There's no draft, but they are having a hard time finding recruits, and the military puts lots of pressure on anyone who shows the slightest interest in joining.

And that fool Olberman just sits there and lets her rant without challenging a word she said. That says alot about him
