Politics and Culture

From Neuroscientist Jeanine Garofalo (S/T Matthew Vadum):

JANEANE GAROFALO: Thank you. You know, there's nothing more interesting than seeing a bunch of racists become confused and angry at a speech they're not quite certain what he's saying. It sounds right and then it doesn't make sense. Which, let's be very honest about what this is about. It's not about bashing Democrats, it's not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don't know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. And there is no way around that. And you know, you can tell these type of right wingers anything and they'll believe it, except the truth. You tell them the truth and they become -- it's like showing Frankenstein's monster fire. They become confused, and angry and highly volatile. That guy, causing them feelings they don't know, because their limbic brain, we've discussed this before, the limbic brain inside a right-winger or Republican or conservative or your average white power activist, the limbic brain is much larger in their head space than in a reasonable person, and it's pushing against the frontal lobe. So their synapses are misfiring. Is Bernie Goldberg listening?

To Garofalo, only a crazy person wouldn't want to be taxed.

Psychoanalysis is her bag. The one time I heard Garofalo on radio, she was saying how miners in Virginia go home from Church in order to beat their wives. This was after the mining disaster a few years back.

Two can play that game. Garofalo's projecting. She's the racist.

This is part of the left strategy in general, as I show here.

I'd dismiss Garofalo as another lefty nut except that she nearly ruins my Mondays by showing her ugly mug on 24. This is personal. You have violated the sanctity of my LCD TV, Ms. Garofalo.
