OH! OH! Geanine Garofalo had a breakdown on AAR.

[thereismore]

She really went off the deep end over a repug. Good Lordie she lost it.

A rift in Majority report? Commercial break...

1. I agree with sam

but i LOVE her :loveya:

will put an mp3 up, it was momentous ;-)

Best laugh I've had in a while!

she is great!

[CityZen-X]

33. I Listened To The MP3

Thanks bpilgrim. I feel that she was right on with her rant, and calling the Moranite what he truly is a DICKHEAD!
And all the others like that sick bastard.
You should tune in or log onto KGO.com radio from 10pm-5am pst to really hear how Bernie Ward & Ray Taliaferro slam these Ugly Amerikans.

[bpilgrim]

and she sure was right on the money

[trekbiker]

104. thanks for the mp3!!!

that was great, I loved it. Especially Sam singing while she's freaking out at the end. Good radio. I think Janene is a good complement to Sam as long as he stays in overall control of the program.

how do you get those mp3's???

[bpilgrim]

109. no worries...

if you r on a mac (os x) there is a GREAT program called WireTap that will record anything comming out of your speakers (the way it should be) so no matter what it is, streaming video/audio (wm, real, qt, etc) or whatever, it will record it... then i convert it to mp3 via iTunes =)

:hi:

[Renew Deal]

51. She needs to go.

She sucks. She's an illogical whiner that hates anything not 100% left. She doesn't even have respect for the Op truth guys. She tries to label everyone with a mental disorder. Sam is much better. Janeane should be removed for good. BTW, she also left the show early today.

[bpilgrim]

65. she's AWESOME

i don't know bout you but i love hearing real human emotion during these dark days and reality teeVee nights.

she also is extremely intelligent which just ads to her frustration level which most DU'ers relate to well.

you'll get over it... i have to put up with franken's side-kick :evilgrin:

peace

[Kipepeo]

98. She's awesome

Thanks for attacking one of our own. :eyes:

I think people have a problem listening to assertive women. She is no more preachy or unwavering or 'this is how it is' than Sam is - but we are used to hearing women qualify their arguments and offer room for an opposing view.

[Renew Deal]

122. Right

Like you have never attacked "one of our own?" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2025294&mesg_id=2028973

Maybe you should read exactly what I say. It has nothing to do with "assertive women." It has to do with the quality of the people on Air America. I don't think she is good enough. You do. So be it.

Valuing Patriotism
By Will Marshall

...

By dwelling obsessively on U.S. misdeeds while ignoring the far more heinous crimes of what is quite possibly the most barbaric insurgency in modern times, anti-war critics betray an anti-American bias that undercuts their credibility <...>

Patriotism is the ultimate values issue. Democrats need not be embarrassed by it. And they ought not to let Republicans monopolize the emblems of national pride and honor. Democrats need to be choosier about the political company they keep, distancing themselves from the pacifist and anti-American fringe. And they need to have faith in their fellow citizens: Americans will accept constructive criticism of their country if they know the critic's heart is in the right place.

Sorry I had to say when I saw La Davis.

I LOVE Jeanene. She get's pissed and says the things I want to say.

[samsingh]

106. she's not on the right

let's let people on our side state their views without attacking them

[Renew Deal]

120. That's not true.

She attacked one of the Op Truth guys for not agreeing with her on a tiny detail. She has attacked Sam for not agreeing with her and he's on her show.

[samsingh]

129. in the broadcast, she certainly let's loose

i would have taken a more direct approach with the caller and taken a tone that destroyed his argument.
But i understand her immense frustration with the stupidity of these people.
he kept mentioned Iraq and 911 and there's no connection.

[bpilgrim]

130. shes a live wire

another reason why she is POPULAR, specially round here.

chill

peace

[shance]

116. Why Bleachers? Because she's an intelligent woman who knows

what shes talking about?

Or do you prefer women that just spout propaganda they are given by the patriarchy?

[Renew Deal]

121. No

Because she's a barely coherent blowhard that will label anyone that disagrees with her as having a mental disorder. She needs to be part of any conversation and cuts off everyone including Sam. I prefer Randi Rhodes, Laura Flanders, Rachel Maddow. They are intelligent, articulate, understand the issues and can defend themselves without calling the callers dickheads.

[bpilgrim]

134. "a barely coherent blowhard" - look whos tak'n

FWIW, where I come from we call that 'having a come apart'. :D

5. Yes... As in Richard? (nt)

[ohio_liberal]

6. Uh, no

As in "dickheads" :)

[stepnw1f]

9. Ah Yeah...

like Richard Head!

[XOKCowboy]

19. I worked for a Richard Head the other day...

I had to bite my tongue to keep from calling him Dick. He totally lived up to his name too. I'm positive he voted for Shrub too although I tried to keep from talking to him about much of anything much less politics!!

[thereismore]

7. Dickheads, dicks, and "I hate it when you sing, Sam..." Sam was

trying to cover up her cussing.

They're back now!

[Inland]

3. It was funny, and true

Why do we have to hear the crap one can hear 24/7 from the rightie stations? The answer is, of course, so Janeane can go ballistic and tell us it's crap.

[LaPera]

64. Just listened, and indeed Janene was right on the fucking money!

I love her passion always have always will...I feel the exact same frustration, no one really & truely challenges these assholes...There are a ton of right-wing forums, talk radio and the MSM pounding the lies down everyones throats each and every day, so as to make the lie, truth...

Too many liberals run and want to make nice, nice with these shameless, sick robots.

CHEERS TO YOU MY DARLING JANEANE!!!

FROM THIS SF ITALIAN HOMEBOY, HERE IN THE LIBERAL CA NORTH COAST...YOUR THE BEST AND WELCOME BACK, YOU WERE MISSED PASSIONATELY!!!!

[Zinfandel]

133. And fucking CHEERS to you bro, Well stated!!! Janeane has

Heart & Soul, unlike like these asshole moderates around here.

They climb out of the woodwork here and there, pontificating their milk toast moderation & kiss ass philosophy -- Don't say anything too loud, it hurts their fence-sitting ears.

Fuckers make me fucking sick every time the no ideology, moderates stick their heads out, and speak their bullshit, that's just this side of republican ideology!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. What does Iraq have to do with 911????

She had to go off the deep end to get the repuke to even start to answer her! But I wish he would hear my arguments now:

1. None of the 19 hijackers were from Iraq.

2. Iraq had a secular government, and Osama bin Laden didn't like Saddam at all. They were not allies, but rather enemies.

3. Guess what? Not all Middle Easterners are alike, even if they "look alike" </saracasm>

[skylarmae]

8. I thought she made a good point. - she doesn't want

to be assaulted by RW assholes on the radio anymore. I don't blame her...Honest debate is one thing and verbal assault is another. I totally agree she shouldn't have to put up with it either.

[okieinpain]

62. I agree with her also, talking to some of these people is like talking

to a 4 year old.

[Beelzebud]

10. I agree with her point. But she can make it without sounding like a

damn crybaby.

She doesn't sound intelligent at all when she just starts screaming and yelling.

For someone that hosts a TALK radio show, she doens't seem to get the whole TALK part of it.

[bpilgrim]

13. that's the best part

:P

peace

[VelmaD]

14. One thing I've never understood...

about AAR...why do they even let so many damn right-wing nutjobs on the air. It's not like the right-wing talk show hosts let liberals get a word in edge-wise.

If I want to hear right-wing gasbags I can turn to just about any station on the AM dial...the reason I don't listen to AAR any more than I do is that I get sick of them letting the right-wingers on at all.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

17. i think it's partially because if you let a rw nutjob on the air

you do more for the anti-rw movement than a thousand diatribes. take cspan for instance, i personally think that they should just LET rw callers talk the whole time. they are so batshit crazy that any sane listener is going to be repulsed.

i think that's what aar's doing anyway.

[growlypants]

[Eric J in MN]

40. It's good to hear real emotion.

There is Sam Seder as a less-emotional co-host.

[ronnykmarshall]

138. I've heard Sam go off BIG TIME

When he was filling in for Randi he has a caller that set him OFF!!

It was ironic because Jeanene called him and gave him the thumbs up about it.

[Carolab]

54. I TOTALLY agree with Janeanne. She has a RIGHT to yell.

This has gone on long enough. She has lost her tolerance. And so have I.

She sounded exactly like I do when I get going with this crowd of ignoramuses who REFUSE to admit to their mistakes.

I'm sorry, but she was RIGHT to be upset.

[Mad_Dem_X]

81. Liberals have the right to get p.o.'d

I love hearing Janeanne, Randi, et al get upset. Sometimes, ya just gotta vent. The country is going to Hell in a handbasket. I don't blame anyone who loses their cool about it.

[Snotcicles]

[Hello_Kitty]

49. I thought it was great

Asswipes like that caller get coddled far too much because we don't want to seem "emotional" in our responses. And of course, we have to be "fair" to them, though they feel no such obligation to us. I'm so sick of this idea that we have to act like their side is just another viewpoint that's as worthy of respect as ours. As Ms. Garofalo said: Bullcrap!

Those of us who oppose the war do so because we are critical thinkers who have studied the issues. We are now (finally) being joined by the masses who drank the koolaid and now realize it's rotten. Those who still persist in supporting * and his evil cabal in their failed oil grab are delusional idiots who fear the loss of face more than they fear the much vaunted terra they're always yammering about.

I think it is exemplary of the building level of irritation and annoyance that most of us have for the loony RW Kool-Aid drinkers.

[Tsiyu]

35. Give it up!

A female expresses a strong opinion and you call it a breakdown? Please quit with the superlatives. She merely says she doesn't want to hear Freepers on Air America, and personally, I agree with her.

Breakdown? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!:rofl:

That's all I have to say. ;-)

She went nuts. She called the caller a dickhead more than once and then slammed something while screaming the entire time.

112. OK

She was yelling on the air that the guy was a dickhead, slammed something, forced them to go to commercial and went home early.How much of the show did you listen to? It would help with your perspective gap.

113. now that is what i call DRAMA!

way better than whats usually on the radio.

101. agreed

I just listened to the mp3. She did not have a breakdown. I agreed with her 100% and I saw nothing wrong with her yelling at the guy because he IS a willful idiot.

If Sam would shut the fuck up long enough to let her make her point with these morons I think it would be a lot better too.

It's time to start fighting. The caller was a moron and there was no rational response that would make him see the light. We ALL need to start beating these jerks down whenever they get glib.

I love it!

I like it when gets pissed, but I LIKE RW smack down.

But I don't think she's like me. I'd rather tell them to fuck up and hang up on them.

[Booster]

56. I totally agree with her. We shouldn't have to listen to asswipes

like guy on AAR because it's on all the right-wing stations. That guy was just baiting her and she fell for it, but she's still right. When you show/tell them where they are wrong and you can prove it, and they still keep repeating the same old shit, then she's right to want to just not talk to people like him. Life's too short.

[Mr_Spock]

57. I'd say she "flipped out" on the caller

He deserved it - though I think she could be a bit more tolerant of the Freepers - she did a good job of smacking him down - albeit with an explosion of unnecessary emotion. I should talk - I'd flip out too if I had to listen to those willfully ignorant morons myself.

61. Sometimes I don't like it when she screams...but...

this in this clip she is perfectly justified in her rage. I was outraged as well at the guy saying "because 9/11 happened" over and over. I believe she used the phrase "willfully ignorant" which is appropriate in this case and many others.

I laughed with joy at hearing her this time!

[tkmorris]

77. SHE hurts the cause?

I don't think so. Sometimes righteous indignation at the top of your voice is the only sane response.

Just to get the scorecard straight so far ~1900 American soldiers have died in Iraq, 10's of thousands of Iraqis, and people like this caller still believe it justified because "9-11 happened". If that doesn't get your blood boiling I have to wonder what will.

[kid a]

68. I love Geanine Garofalo! I feel her pain and anger

FUCK that ignorant dickhead!!!

[OrlandoGator]

76. I just listened to it through...I totally feel her.

In the interests of adopting FoxNews-style "fair and balanced" commentary, they are giving psycho right-wingers a platform to spread their bile.

She's right. Why do they let people come on the show over and over and over and still to this day correlate 9/11 with Iraq? I mean, that's soooo 2003.

[wtmusic]

80. Time to take the gloves off

Rock on Janeane. Maybe that's the only way to communicate with these people.

[SouthernDem2004]

84. I would be ranting, too, if someone kept trying

to connect Iraq and 9-11. He was a real dumb ass. "The twin towers are gone." "9-11 happened." That is his justification for the war. I think I would have also blown my stack. But it was funny at the end when she started yelling, "Stop singing."

[King Coal]

90. Right. That's when I knew it was a bit. She said, "Don't sing at me."

88. Thank you.

[yurbud]

91. are you nuts? this is just commercial radio--she made a point

and got emotional, and they discussed "behind the scenes" issues, which isn't uncommon in talk radio.

How many times do you have to go over this crap about Saddam and 9/11? Every time it comes up, they should just say it confirms that Bush lied to the gullible, who missed the two or three denials Bush gave and only heard the constant drumbeat of guilt by association.

If you want to hear dispassionate radio, I strongly recommend Pacifica and Amy Goodman on Democracy Now.

[buddysmellgood]

123. She's dead-nuts on...

She didn't 'lose anything'...she has a point, why have ignorant dicks on AAR? I can listen to those dumbasses elsewhere. And there's no 'intellectual discourse' to be had by indulging these morons on-air. If they're still making the connection between 9/11 and the Iraq war even after all of the distortions and deceits have been exposed, then there's no point talking to them. It's like arguing with a child.

She is pretty funny, albeit unintentionally... "stop singing at me!" Now THAT's real frustration!

Jeanene: you're my hero.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

97. She has been one of my heroines ever since

she took on Bill O'Reilly and didn't let herself get shouted down in the buildup to the Iraq invasion.

I wish some of our Democratic officials had that kind of gumption.

99. She was right...DAMN right.

She didn't cross any line that any of us here haven't crossed in private over the ignorant MILLIONS we share this country with.
