Garofalo: GOP using Herman Cain ‘to keep the racism very covert’ By Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller | The Daily Caller – Thu, Sep 29, 2011
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is a first-tier candidate in two separate polls in the race for the nomination, but B-list comedian Janeane Garofalo says it’s just cover to hide the GOP’s racism.
In an appearance on Wednesday night’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” on Current TV, Garofalo explained her theory.
“Herman Cain is probably well-liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican Party, conservative movement and tea party movement,” Garofalo said.
“People like Karl Rove like to keep the racism very covert and so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity so he can say, ‘Look: This is not a racist anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look: We have a black man.’ And look he’s polling well and he won a straw poll.”
In August, Garofalo said he was just a “paid prop” used to deflect racism.
Olbermann then asked Garofalo for her thoughts on what the left’s activism, the “Occupy Wall Street” protests. According to the comedian, that is the real grassroots movement, complainging that “the mainstream media tends to ignore any kind of outside the establishment-box movements, especially if they’re considered to be on the left.”
Garofalo said that protest was different than the much larger tea party movement because the tea party had an “establishment message” and was supported with “corporate money.”

Garofalo is really an idiot. lol Talk about being out-of-touch with reality. If she wants to see a real racist, she should check the mirror cause her comments are much more racist than anything those she stands against say.

Maybe idiots like Garofalo should keep talking to reveal the racist ways of the Democrats. Such a pleasant woman! lol Gosh, I almost feel for her. I don't even think most of the left takes her seriously anymore.
