ROFL -- Garofalo: Teabaggers 'Functionally Retarded Adults'
Edited on Sat Aug-22-09 09:39 PM by Rufus2007
August 22, 2009 - By Jeff Poor

You probably already knew Jeanane Garofalo was no fan of conservatives, Republicans or just about anything that could be described as right of center. But the former Air America host and MSNBC regular really has a low regard for conservative activists.

In an appearance at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 21, Garofalo ripped into tea party protesters, or what some of the wizards of smart on the left have deemed "tea baggers" calling them "functionally retarded adults" and "racists."

2. I think even non-functionally retarded children have them beat.
At least mentally disabled people make the most of the brain capability they were given. I don't know what to call people who refuse to fire up a fully functional brain. It's like those idiots I see driving a Porshe or Mustang 10 mph under the speed limit. What a waste!

She also said being a republican is a character flaw.

4. The retarded are fully capable of love and kindness, unlike the teabaggers.

8. That's the mentally retarded, not the functionally. The mentally are indeed very sweet usually.
I'm afraid that there is no extra chromosome happening with the freeps to excuse their behavior.
