Gate Keeper 50: The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell- 'Janeane Garofalo Deflates Andrew Breitbart'

Source:Gate Keeper 50- Janeane Garofalo, the latest target of Alt-Rightist Andrew Breitbart.

"And in this corner, weighing in at very much less than her pompous loudmouth excrement filled opponent, Janeane Garofalo ... and in the other corner, the pompous loudmouth excrement filled Andrew Breitbart." 


"Over the weekend, Andrew Breitbart posted a profane speech he gave at a Tea Party conference attacking Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Janeane Garofalo. Many found the language inappropriate, but on tonight’s Last Word, Lawrence O’Donnell took the opportunity to psychoanalyze Breitbart as a little boy who never made it in Hollywood, taking swipes at the “honorable and decent” Garofalo out of envy."

Just to comment on Larry O'Donnell's (as  call him) piece about Andrew Breitbart and Janeane Garofalo: I'm not a fan of Janeane Garofalo either. To me she's the President of the Escaped Mental Patients of America, when it comes to Hollywood, celebrity political commentators. But Andrew Breitbart is probably the Chairman of the Board of that group and about to defeat President Garofalo in their next election, if not through a coup. 

Janeane, is the perfect example of why entertainers should stick to entertaining. And Andrew is the perfect example of why political commentators should stick with political commentating. But only because neither of them know what the hell they're talking about when it comes their preferred professions. 

The wrongs of the Far Right, where should I start: I would've gone with where to begin but I used that as part of the title of my post, before I saw the Garofalo-Breitbart story . In the interest of originality I chose something else, I hope you like it but I also hope its not your focus of this post either. 

So moving on I separate the Far-Right, Alt-Right, or New-Right, from the Center-Right. As I believe any knowledgeable political junky or political analyst would. The Far-Right being the the Rush Limbaugh's, the Michele Bachmann's (a bad company, from my perspective) and others the Christian-Right and New-Right, the Christian Tea Party (as I call them) the authoritarian big government faction of the Republican Party, what the Republican Party didn't use to be. 

The Christian-Right and Neo Right (coming to life thanks to what they would outlaw, sex) in the late 1960s, early 1970s, a party that used to be about limited government and anti-big government, until the last 20 years has become about authoritarian big government. 

The Christian-Right believes Uncle Sam should be telling people how to live their lives and if they do something or are something that they don't like, they automatically assume that they must have some type of disease. And being the good Christians(that they claim to be) they try to cure them like the Bachmann's and others, or they try to send them to prison, by passing laws making what they are doing, whatever it is illegal even if they are not hurting any innocent people with their activities. 

I've just laid out what is wrong with the Far-Right in America: they are Big Government, Big Brother, Uncle Sam impersonators who believe Uncle Sam knows best how everyone else should live their lives and if they do something that not part of their moral code, they try to make it illegal. 

The Center-Right (as I see it) the Barry Goldwater Conservative-Libertarians are exactly what is right about the conservative movement in America. But unfortunately with the Republican Party and America as a whole have lost power in this country. They are the opposite of the Far-Right, because they are truly pro-limited government and anti-big government and believe that people should be left alone to live their own lives. As long as they are not hurting anyone else with their freedom. 

The Far-Right and Center-Right (as I see it) are the two political factions and part of the same wing of the American political spectrum, but tend to be on the opposite sides when it comes to the Constitution and the role of government in America.

Russia Today: The Alyona Show- 'MSM: CA Prison Hunger Strike'

"RT (formerly Russia Today) is a state-controlled international television network funded by the federal tax budget of the Russian government.[5][6] It operates pay television channels directed to audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Russian.

RT operates as a multilingual service with conventional channels in five languages: the original English-language channel was launched in 2005, the Arabic-language channel in 2007, Spanish in 2009, German in 2014 and French in 2017. RT America (since 2010),[7] RT UK (since 2014) and other regional channels also offer some locally based content.

RT is a brand of TV-Novosti, an "autonomous non-profit organization", founded by the Russian news agency, RIA Novosti, on 6 April 2005.[3][8] During the economic crisis in December 2008, the Russian government, headed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, included ANO "TV-Novosti" on its list of core organizations of strategic importance to Russia." 

From Wikipedia 

"Despite the fact that it's now in its third week, the mainstream media is just finally catching on to Occupy Wall Street, and deciding that it's worthy of coverage. So today, I'd like to highlight another mass movement that's going on in this country, that deserves media attention, and that probably won't get it until maybe a couple of weeks from now, or maybe when the circumstances become tragic. By that I mean the California prison hunger strike." 

From Russia Today 

The title of Alyona Minkovski's editorial here is: "MSM: CA Prison Hunger Strike" but it takes her 2-1/2 minutes to get into the California prison strike. She spends the first minutes of her piece talking about the lack of mainstream media coverage of the New-Left political movement Occupy Wall Street. 

Maybe if Alyona wasn't part of Vladimir Putin's American based, Russian propaganda network Russia Today, she would be part of the mainstream media as well. But I guess not even the Far-Left MSNBC or Democracy Now wants to do business with her. 

As far as the California prison hunger strike: this is what happens when you treat grown men like animals, that's how they behave. You could argue that they acted like animals on the streets and are now getting what they deserved being thrown into human cages. But even people serving life without deserve the most basic of human living conditions like decent food, fresh air, clean water, etc. Doesn't mean the most violent of criminal offenders don't need to be isolated from general population, but they have a constitutional right to basic human living conditions as well.
