Janeane Garofalo: Someone Must Be Paying Herman Cain To Deflect GOP’s ‘Inherent Racism’

Video
» 326 comments

Actress and comedian Janeane Garofalo paid a visit to Keith Olbermann‘s Countdown to discuss her “theory” regarding GOP presidential hopeful (and Pokemon fan!) Herman Cain. Does it have to do with race? Why, yes! Of course!

Here’s what she had to say:

Now, I believe Herman Cain is in this presidential race because he deflects the racism that is inherent in the Republican party, the conservative movement, the Tea Party, certainly. Over the past 30 years, the conservative movement has been moving more and more to the right but also race-baiting more, gay-baiting more, religion-baiting more. But Herman Cain, I feel like he’s being paid by somebody to be involved and to run for president so that they can go, “Well, yeah, they can’t be racist! It’s a black guy! It’s a black guy asking for Obama to be impeached! Or “it’s a black guy who’s anti-Muslim!” Or “it’s a black who’s a Tea Party guy!” And I feel like, well, wouldn’t that suit the purposes of whomever Astroturfs these things? Whether it be the Koch brothers or ALEC or Grover Norquist or any religion, any anything. It could even be Karl Rove. Let’s get Herman Cain involved so it deflects the obvious racism of our Republican party.

So, to recap: The Republican Party and, in fact, the entire conservative movement is one that is inherently racist. There is no conservative — black, white or otherwise — who can join the movement and not be racist, because the entire enterprise is inherently racist. But accusing a black Republican of essentially acting as a “race traitor” by selling himself to some sort of shady and nefarious Illuminati-like group monitoring the party from their secret lair hidden deep inside an inactive volcano, perhaps whilst gently stroking an endangered wild cat, is not racist. There is no way Cain can be acting as an autonomous individual, or that factors other than race — like religion or social class or occupation or personal experience — can help mold an individual’s political beliefs.

Ok.

There is one point where Garofalo has evidence backing her up, though. According to a 2010 Gallup poll, self-described conservatives increasingly outnumbered those who described themselves as moderate or liberal, both within the Republican party and in general. The Centrist Party website, however, maintains that 70 percent of American voters are moderate in their views, with the 15 percent on either extreme nonetheless dictating the national discourse.

What do you think of Garofalo’s theory? And do you find the Republican party veering ever right-ward? Is racism inherent in the the Republican Party? What steps could the Party take to change this perception, in your eyes?

Take a look at the segment for yourselves, via Current:

    Unfortunately Janeane, even though talented, suffers from the continuing obsession ‘The Left suffers from otherwise known as BDS. This happens to people who have been so damaged in life that they project their misery and self-hatred onto a former President who they claim so infinitely damaged them that they are no longer attractive or useful. I got a 35% pay raise when Bush was President. WTF?

    does she really understand the racist history of her own party. can she really be so stupid to not know that the Ku Klux Klan was created by the democrat party and that all your politicians back in the 50′s and 60′s who championed whites-only drinking fountains, restaruants, schools, back-of-the-bus policies were democrats. doesn’t she know that Robert Byrd was a recruiter for the Klan? is this woman really that stupid?

    The good aspect of Cain campaigning is that it will drive the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists even more insane (if that is even possible) because the d-cRAT socialists believe that blacks are 100% owned as their property. So, when one of them strays from the lunatic-left plantation and speaks out of turn – or otherwise disobeys their d-cRAT MASTERS – the lunatic-left and their stooges in the lamestream socialist media go into hyper-hate mode and throw everything they can at the offender. Already, race-baiter “lynch the INNOCENT Duke lacrosse team” sharpton and sewer-rat maher have called Cain a “racist”, a “bigot” and an “uncle tom” (the lunatic-left ALWAYS throws out such epithets because they are simply mentally incapable of rationally discussing any matter.)  There will more – much more – vile hatred from the d-cRAT socialists directed at Cain as he campaigns and shows many that there is a rational and BETTER alternative than their current d-cRAT socialist OWNERS and RULERS.

    As you may have guessed, Michelle Malkin didn’t take kindly to having Herman Cain (and by extension all non-white conservatives) attacked by this “Progressive of Pallor”. Best quote:

    “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 d**chebaggery. Unmitigated
    d**chebaggery’ — all while complaining about the lack of civility in
    politics.”

    I like the show Criminal Minds but I will not watch the relatively new spin-off show Criminal Minds – Suspect Behavior just because this race bating Hollywood hack bitch is on the show. I love Forest Whitaker and have for a long time but I just can support the rating on a show with her on it. She’s a decent actress but so is Jane Fonda I won’t watch her either for the crap she pulled during Vietnam. I actually would vote for Herman Cain in a heartbeat and not because he is black it’s because I like his views. The same reason I didn’t vote for Obama.
    I don’t like his politics. So what does she except. It’s ok for us conservatives to oppose a white liberal because it’s not racist but if we a appose a black liberal it’s racist by definition. And if we support a Black man because we like his views we are excused of some how paying him off so we would notseem so racist.

    What a freaking joke this bitch is. I think all of us Tea party types and other conservatives should boycott this show until they pull it for lack of ratings.

    A minority group should think in a solitary fashion and not deviate with independant thought. If a black person dares to attach themself to an outside mindset they are clearly corrupted and have compromised their instincts, to the detriment of their own kind.

    This is a disgusting and disturbing way of looking at people, I completely agree.  Own it Janeane. Carping about a black person not agreeing with your viewpoint as a white person reveals you for what you are: a disturbed and disgusting racist.

    Honestly IMO racism was close to becoming a memory in this country but over the last 3 years the Democratic party has done everything within their power to revive that unholy monster..  They feel that it will serve them well, but they do not calculate the cost to our society nor do they care.

  • Anonymous

    Tell that to the KKK which was started by Democrats..There are plenty of racist Democrats and they have always been their. The Democrats just found another way to enslave blacks and poor people in general. By making as many as they can dependent on Government. We conservative feel black people are just as capable of success us any race of people in this world. Democrats think they are some how less capable and need to be taken care of more so than any other race of people. LBJ had contempt for Black people but knew he could buy their vote with the Great Society platform along with other poor. He didn’t give a crap he just wanted their vote for the Democratic party forever and I guess it worked.

    Not sure that this isnt some sad super-liberal attempt to make “minorities” happy because they seem to be taking an obvious minority side.. SADLY though they are essentially putting down BLACK PEOPLE because the suggestion is that Herman Cain can be BOUGHT to further a cause that has nothing to do with him. THINK ABOUT THAT.. you want to smack a black man in a touchy space.. CALL HIM AN UNCLE TOM -and that is what JG is doing.. which is MORE RACIST to me than anything. TRUTH IS.. Cain is SMART and he realized he could RUN AS A GOP monster, generate some serious FREE PRESS (how many times do we have to hear GODFATHERS PIZZA and its not a commercial?) and best of all TAKE TIME OFF FROM A PAID JOB (from which he will STILL collect a paycheck) and GET PAID to travel the country, be on TV, discuss things out of the side of your neck, stay in hotels, eat the best food AND bill the common idiot who sends him campaign money.
    PLEASE.. he is NOT getting paid to be the “nigg*r” her JG.. and YOU -LADY- are essentially calling a black RICH and INTELLIGENT man a “house nigg*r” when in truth, in a questionable economy HERMAN CAIN is making a TON OF MONEY.. I wouldnt vote for him with a gun to my head, but dont believe for an INSTANT that he isnt smart enough to see that fools like JG (who I actually LIKE) will give him MORE FREE PRESS, essentially give him MORE CAMPAIGN donations and give him a few more months to enjoy the GOOD LIFE on the backs of idiot GOP folks who give him cash.. SHEESH.. paid off INDEED..

    Other than that she shouldn’t get a moment’s bit of attention which is why she ended up on Olbermann’s show because he shouldn’t either and all of that ilk is ending up on Current.

    It’s ironic to me that a channel called current has people on it that are all behind the times and is a channel with no electricity,a sort of double ironic twist,no matter how you look at it the name is all wrong.

    There couldnt be a more CONSERVATIVE dream for the black community than him.

    Yet, when it comes time for the democrats to peddle their goods, its all handouts, incentives for not working, incentives for having more children out of marriage, lowering standards for testing, keeping black kids out of private schools, lowering admission and hiring standards in the name of equality,

    Thats right. Today Dems have forced African Americans into the inner cities. Democrats have forced blacks to live a horrible, doomed existince of drug abuse, rape and murder. The democrats have spent a generation indoctrinating blacks into falsely believing that they will never do or be better than being just another victim. Or if you will, a statistic. African Americans may not be physical slaves, but they are psychology enslaved. And Democrats are the slave master.

    This is what is being touted as a deep thinker.  Um, Janeane – Hon?  I doubt your take here is accurate, and would you like to know why?  Because he was THE FLIPPING CHAIRMAN OF THE K.C. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK, & HE WAS THE C.E.O.

    Is nobody going to bring up the fact that blacks are still enslaved by Democrats today?
    Look at how they live in the inner cities. Drug abuse, unemployment, rape and murder is their daily lives. It was the Dems who bestowed that grim reality upon them. After a generation of indocrination, the dems have convinced the African Americans that they will end up as nothing more than a statistic. The fact that dems have pushed inferior education on them, keeping them ignorant and therefore guarantee that they will always vote for the Dem. Make no mistake, blacks in America are still slaves. And the criminal monsters known as Democrats, are the slave masters.

    During the 08 campaign a gay Democrat congressman posted the question’s then answered them on the Pro Hillary website Hillbuzz.com  What is the difference between Slaves on a Plantation and Blacks who Blindly Vote for Democrats ? – what does a slave owner have to provide, free for his slaves ? He answered Free housing, Free food, Free healthcare, a menial education sufficient to the tasks he requires the slave to preform. What is the one thing slave owners require of his slaves, unquestioning loyalty.  What do democrats always promise to provide to blacks, Free food, free housing, free healthcare and a menial education sufficient to get them to the voting booth. The only thing democrats require of blacks is unquestioning loyalty. Whose the master now ?

    Yes its an interesting history, in that a vast majority of all those individuals who re-aligned are dead now, and definitively out of politics to be sure.

    Where we stand in 2011 is past the post-CRA era, which died completely probably around 2000. It seems Democrats havent gotten the memo though that the political dynamic isnt so black and white now, for lack of a better term.

    Conservatives embrace post-racial politics far more than liberals. It is liberals that draw their political power from segregating and subjugating races for their own power gains. They have have 40 years of complete political control of blacks, and think they can have the same thing with the latino vote, only they will find out that latinos arent as monolithic as the black community.

    Certainly a man like Herman Cain needs to be either marginalized or brought back onto the plantation, and Janeane is there to dutifully there to crack the whip for the master.

    Funny how Mediaite covers MessNBC’s “Morning Joe” mostly when they can perpetuate an anti-Conservative meme, but for some reason they never got around to posting anything on this segment of Morning Joe:

    Economist Jeffrey Sachs Hits Obama: “There’s Never Been A Plan”Economist Jeffrey Sachs slammed President Obama on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday.”We’re almost three years into this administration, and there’s never been a plan. And that’s what everybody feels. And the president didn’t lead. He waited. The quintessential image, sadly, of an administration that I supported and hoped for much better, is the president waiting by the phone to hear what Congress calls to tell him. It doesn’t work in this country that way. It’s not a matter that it’s August. It’s a matter that it’s August 2011. So we’ve been drifting for a very long time. And we’ve been drifting down. And we had a short-term plan that failed. A short-term stimulus that was supposed to get the economy back on track, but it failed. And now we have nothing behind it. And we have no agreements, and we have no leadership. And, frankly, I do think it’s pretty odd the president’s on vacation right now. Normally I wouldn’t care about such things, but the world markets are in deep crisis. It’s no joke. This isn’t just an up-and-down little blip. This is a very serious situation.”http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/08/19/economist_sachs_hits_obama_theres_never_been_a_plan.html

    And Publius, if you knew your history then you should recall that the political re-alignment happened outside the republican party.

    All those previous “dixiecrats” formed their own party, the American Independent party, and they are the only third party to win whole states and electoral votes since 1912.

    The American Independent party was an offshoot of the Democrats and their candidates caucused with Democrats, not Republicans.

    It was only after George Wallace was shot and paralyzed in ’72 that the party died off. The south, which was their stronghold, passed between voting for Nixon in 72 to Carter in 76.

    Your narrative that all the southern racist democrats simply switched to republican after the civil rights amendments were passed simply arent true and the electoral maps of the presidential elections prove it.

    Good to see you finally picked up on that: The current republican party is, inherently, racist, misogynist, and class-baiting.  it’s in their DNA, they just can’t help themselves.  Garafalo points out how Cain, as a Black american, is working against his own general interest every time he campaigns for Republicans.   The data simply bears that out.  There is NOTHING in the Republican “plan” (not even a plan, actually) that is designed or intended to directly assist, further, or benefit anyone, except very wealthy, most white, mostly male Americans.

    If the Democrats repeated even ONE PERCENT of the sleazy, racist, hateful, disgusting things the right wing has said about President about in regard to Herman Cain, jackasses like the utterly corrupt darryl Issa and morally bankrupt Coburn would be holding special congressional hearings on it (at the taxpayers’ expense).

    Get over it.  You’re a member of a political movement that is being led by both overt and unthinking racists.  And neither is any better than the other – they’re still racist thugs.

    This is a great article by an African American writer:

    Janeane Garofalo Upholds the Racist Traditions of the Democratic Party!

    Janeane Garofalo wouldn’t know Stockholm Syndrome if it were the applicator she uses for her wheat grass enemas.

    Stockholm Syndrome would be better applied to a group of people who still vote for the party that:

    Fought to keep slavery legal.Founded the KKK.Imposed Jim Crow laws.Created the Jim Crow Minstrel to boot  (Thomas D. Rice – D)Imposed the Dred Scott Decision.Revoked special field order 15, or “40 Acres and a Mule.Revoked federal positions for blacks.Pro segregation in schools and military.

    All these things Democrats were for and Republicans  against.

    And no, there was no party switch, that is, unless you’re talking
    about black voters. Blacks started voting Democratic long before the
    supposed “party switch,” before the supposed Southern Strategy. The
    black community was disenfranchised by Democrats, and then established
    as a voting stock for the Democratic party as early as FDR’s first term,
    as he brought in the entitlement society.

    Furthermore, the Dixiecrats went back to the Democrat party, as they
    said: “We would vote for a yellow dog before voting Republican.”  

    It would take too much time to list all the Dixiecrats who went back
    to the Democrat party, but liberals always showcase that cherry-picked
    exception known as Strom Thurman. Thurman should have remained a
    Democrat. He would have been forgiven for being a bigot, like lifelong
    Democrat and former KKK Grand Wizard, Senator Robert Byrd.

    you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’”

    and ;15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?

    ·                     Most rightwingers are not what you would call ‘deep thinkers’. Do you really think like Stephen Colbert who “doesn’t see color”!. And, of course, Janeann Garofolo is a no account Lib woman.  There is still a strong residue of racism in America. Why is it that there are so few black Republicans and if there are a few, they’re paid or unpaid idiots like Cain, West, Keyes, etc, And why is it that Black Americans vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. Do you think they’re all so feeble brained and easily led. No, that would be racist. Blacks are a progressive force in this country simply because rightwing Conservatives have done virtually nothing to help them. And don’t give me the BS that Lincoln was a Republican who freed the slaves. In today’s terms Lincoln would be a wild eyed Liberal. I wish you rightwing people has a little more self-honesty instead of being such hypocrites. The more I think about it, the more I see that much of the vitriol and anger directed at Obama comes from this deep well of unresolved racism. The thought of this brilliant, academic black man with all his imperfections running this country is something that in your hearts, you can’t abide. Ah, the old racist card! How can we forget your enthusiastic support for  Bush and your enthusiasm for the current crop of Republican presidential losers.

    I put up a comment on the current.tv site under the Garofalo interview stating my opinion that calling out racism against the Tea Party needs to be backed up with more analysis than Garofalo or Olbermann has given it. Bill Clinton did get the same vile from the same people, so calling it racism needs some explanation. Olbermann and Garofalo have repeatedly failed to shoulder this burden.

    I put up my comment there on the site, one of the first comments, and now it is gone. It seems someone at current.tv is censoring anything that embarrasses them. This is not a Liberal trait at all either — or Conservative. It is just cowardly and unconscionable.

    I’m just curious as to why he can simply dismiss Messrs.

That smacks of pure head-up-the-ass partisanship.

    Mark my words, Gilibrand is one of the Democrat women they’re going to use to counter the Michele Bachmann/Sarah Palin/Nikki Haley Republican women. (Of course, poor old Kirstin had to give up her lifelong advocacy of the right to bear arms- she used to keep a shotgun under her bed, but gave it up when she became a serious Democrat contender- so much for principles.)

    Point taken.

    But, the argument today, distilled to its essence is, what is the American Philosophy?  Or, as the Socialists would like–”what WAS the American Philosophy?”

    A very important part of this debate is the historical creation of America and the birth of “Federalism.”  The concept and application of Federalism has changed  in past 200 plus years.  In 1800, I would have been a Federalist, perhaps.  Now, Federalism has become another word Social-Democrats.

    Anyway, Michelle may be somewhat over simplifying the historical relationship between the Democrats of the 19th century, with that of today.  However, It would be to my, and her disadvantage, our folly, not to keep a close eye on a political party as deceitful as the Democratic party has been in the last 50 years.

    Meaning, the Socialist-Democrats have adapted, un-apologetically many of the revolutionary tactics of their “Red” brethren such as Lenin and Mao.  That, is NOT an exaggeration.

    Tricky. At first when I saw the title, I thought another liberal misspeaks and shows their true racist color. But when I watched the exchange, there might be something in what she says. Not so much that Cain is being “paid” but close. Without doubt he’s being lavashed with praise to be kept in the race as a token to point to, yes to deflect the charge of racism. Ditto Michael Steele. Someone tell me Steele’s election was based on merits and was not a reaction to Obama’s election.

    Ditto, Rubio who is in a different class because he is a true conservative and intellectually expresses the conservative point of view very eloquently and has actual talent but not much more than your typical republican but he gets special focus and attention because of his race. Republicans exercising affirmative action that they so despise. They exercise it in this case because there is something in it for them, deflecting the charge of racism. Just look at how they’re duly cited first as republican acolytes by conservatives whenever the charge of racism is being levied at conservatives

    Now conservatives are inherently racist, there is no escaping that fact. But liberals need to stop delving into why a minority member is a conservative and choses to be a republican. It can get ugly, messy and the ones who are racist will not be able to avoid pitfalls and come out as what they really are, racists. Yes, a large portion of liberals are racist but they partly identify as liberals because they feel guilty that aspect of their identity compared to conservatives who feel justified and perhaps even proud of their racism, it makes them feel superior where they can’t attain superiority in performance at work, school or any other aspect of life.

    Now let me stoop to your level. You turn the real argument, of whether these individuals you speak of Messrs. Keyes, West and Cain are paid shills for the Republican party, into an ad hominem debate. Because nowhere is it mentioned by Garofalo or Olbermann that these individuals are “idiots”, (your word). Conservatives are often prone to expand a debate and create “buttons” that are intended to infuriate their opponent and strengthen their argument. I for one don’t feel that any of these gentlemen are any more or less than who they say they are. They are Conservative political figures. I don’t feel they have been paid to be the “token” blacks amongst Republicans. But the argument is whether or not you believe Garofalo’s theory or not. But to lie and inject an inflammatory element into the argument that was not even mentioned is disingenuous. And rest assured I never give a sh*t about what some  ignorant ”Con”thinks about me.

    Garafalo’s comments only help to paint the Democrats as wildly left-wing and really stupid.

    Olbermann proves here that he cares only about ratings.  There can be no other reason than ratings to let this goofball carry on about the crap she said about Cain the other night (and in previous shows on MSNBC where she said her weird stuff).  I thought his new show was going to air “the truth” about things the major networks didn’t want to tackle?  So much for that.

    The same thing happens with Olbermann’s show when that Media Matters nutball, Markos Moutso-what’s-his-name, goes on his show.  He rattles on about stuff that’s either an hysterical collections of lies or half-truths baked into a crazy cake, and of course he is unchallenged in what he says.  Same stuff as with the Garafalo interview.

    I just hope that there aren’t some people out there who actually believe this nutball stuff.  (And the same goes for shows like Hannity on Fox where they let the conservative nutbags rattle on and on, unchallenged, saying their old lines like “cut taxes and bring in more revenue!”  I’ve still never figured that one out, but a lot of people who think they’re conservative and drink the Fox/Republican kool-aid apparently believe this.

    Where are the reasonable voices?  Oh, yeah, almost forgot.  They don’t say crazy stuff that draws ratings so we don’t hear from them.  That’s a shame.

    I’ve wondered about that cutting taxes and bringing in more revenue business too, joe. It’s too bad they don’t take the time to explain how it works. The way I understand it, if you cut taxes on employers they have more money with which to hire more people, who then pay income taxes themselves and thus produce more revenue for the government. I don’t have any statistics on how much the theory actually holds true, but there a lot of economists who say it does. I also found your post rather refreshing in its lack of obvious bias, even though I’m a big fan of Fox News myself.

We could also do the same for those that changed to the GOP!  But, one thing has always remained the same…regardless of PARTY they were all WHITE and  shared their hatred for African-Americans and other Minorities. Today things are  a lot better but can never be perfect because racism and prejudice is a state of mind and embedded in one’s heart.

    Do you ever give any thought to the fact that all of your elected officials votes are BOUGHT by the RICH and Powerful?  Don’t just lay this immorality on the backs of Black People and Poor people!

    Other than Clarence Thomas, I would say none of the other BLACKS that you named are racist.  However, if you asked them all if they have ever been DISCRIMINATED against BECAUSE OF THEIR race, THE ANSWER will be a RESOUNDING YES !

    Racism is still common in America. I think it is about time to forgo this kind of discrimination especially that everyone has a right to enjoy the benefits of life.

    Whatever you think of any party isn’t it racist to say that all black people are liberals and the only way Herman Cain would join the GOP is if he was paid?

    It’s every race that’s poor and requires welfare. Again making racist assumptions

    Liberal Bill Maher insulted Jan Brewer’s looks even though she is smart and has good ideas.  Besides Garofolo does not have ANY good ideas and she’s not making anything better.
