General Motors didn't allow Michael Moore into the GM Renaissance Center for press interviews before the Detroit premiere of 'Capitalism: A Love' story even though they were invited in advance. The interviews had to be moved to the Marriott across the street, but after the interviews had finished, Mike went into the Renaissance center anyway and we became our own press.
Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur and Michael Moore speak at the premiere.
Check out this report from WDIV Detroit on the whole debacle:
Liberals love commies.
Wasn't that Marcy who sat quietly next to Jeanine Garafalo on Bill Maher's show when Jeanine called the Tea Partiers all racists?
I'll see if I can find the video.
MikeyA
I believe Garafalo said she wasn't talking about people that had problems with the President's policies.
Pink Slip
As I said before...you believe a lot of stupid stuff......and your firm belief in it...does not make it so...
I love the internets...thanks Al gore!
LMAO...no..she never said this:
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 (edited to pass filter). 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?
GAROFALO: Because Bernie might not have heard this when I said this the first time. So, Bernie, this is for you. It is a neurological problem we're dealing with.
GAROFALO: I don't think you do, for most of them. This is a -- it's almost pathological or elevated to a philosophy or lifestyle. And again, this is about racism. It could be any issue, any port in the storm. These guys hate that a black guy is in the White House. But they immigrant bash, they pretend taxes and tea bags, and like I said, most of them probably couldn't tell you thing one about taxation without representation, the Boston tea party, the British imperialism, whatever the history lesson has to be. But these people, all white for the most part, unless there's some people with Stockholm syndrome there.
GAROFALO: True, and Fox News loves to foment this anti-intellectualism because that's their bread and butter. If you have a cerebral electorate, Fox news goes down the toilet, very, very fast. But it is sick and sad to see Neil Cavuto doing that. They've been doing it for years, that's why Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch started this venture, is to disinform and to coarsen and dumb down a certain segment of the electorate. But what is really, I didn't know there were so many racists left. I didn't know that. I -- you know, because as I've said, the Republican hype and the conservative movement has now crystallized into the white power movement.
GAROFALO: They're the minority, but literally tens of people showed up to this thing across the country.
GAROFALO: Here's what the right-wing has in, there's no shortage of the natural resources of ignorance, apathy, hate, fear. As long as those things are in the collective conscious and unconscious, the Republicans will have some votes. Fox News will have some viewers. But what else have they got? If they didn't do that, who is going to watch -- you know what I mean? They have tackled that elusive clam -- you know, the clam, the 18 to 35 clam -- klan. Klan. With a k demo. But, you know, who else is Fox talking to? I mean, what is it urban older white guys? And the girlfriend, and, you know, the women who suffer from Stockholm syndrome gain. There's a lot of Stockholm syndrome, is what I'm saying ultimately. What else do you want to know?
GAROFALO: That is an unfortunate byproduct since the dawn of time of a volatile group like this of the limbic brain. Violence unfortunately may or may not ensue. It always, it's like a, the Republican Party now depends upon immigrant bashing and hating the black guy in the White House. Will people act on that? It's not new. But, you know, Fox doesn't mind fomenting it. Michelle Bachmann doesn't mine fomenting it. Glenn Beck doesn't mind fomenting it.
GAROFALO: Lou Dobbs. Oh, man he sure doesn't mind. But this is, this their, what have they got if they don't have this? You know what I mean? It's like an identity politics of the worst kind.
---------------------------------------------
And I dont know why you'd even try and deny this...you and the other lefties said the same exact thing here on this blog.
Dont try and walk it back now.....card laid... card played...race card that is...
She's trying to cover her hind end after taking backlash after saying what she really felt.....just like Carter did...
0:38 seconds into the video I posted. She said she wasn't talking about people who have problems with the President's policies.
Pink Slip
The video you posted is called a "walkback"...where someone says something so over the top and stupid..they are forced later to "clarify" what they really meant to say...
Same as carter had to walkback what he said..
It's pure BS...you are a sucker for it...

Race card laid...race card played.
And you are what is called an "idiot". She said it in plain old English. She wasn't talking about people who have problems with the President's policies. Get it yet, Beavis?
Shouldn't be long now before Butt
-head chimes in something about getting rid of the trees..Pink Slip
Still at it eh?

No way around it.....oh...but I didnt mean it when I said it with a straight face on nationwide TV...
BTW...Mike judge still rules....I'm honored...
OMG!...LMAO...I finally watched the whole thing...LMAO....she isnt walking anything back...she re-interates her previous comments...

It's obvious to anybody who has eyes in this country that tea-baggers, the 9-12ers, these separatist groups that pretend that it's about policy – they are clearly white-identity movements. They're clearly white power movements. What they don't like about the President is that he's black – or half black (applause) – and they, what also is shocking is that people keep pretending that that's not really the case with these people.
I'm not talking about people that do have problems with his policies, that's fine. But these people, who are also being led by the Glenn Becks, the Michelle Bachmans, the Rush Limbows [presumably Limbaugh], whomever, they are no different than any other white identify movement that's part of our history. This has been going on since the founding of this country that white power movements have tried to establish themselves and hold onto power.
It's very weird that whenever this comes up in conversation, so few people are willing to say that yes it is racism, straight up racism. And the Republican Party has been willing to carry water for racists in this country since about the 1950s. (Applause)
Electorally, these white power people don't have their own party – maybe they will one day – so they are electorally-dependent on the Republicans. But also troubling, Fox News is happy to feed into this; AM radio is happy to feed into this. They will continue to do this til somebody does something.
What you're saying [Thomas Friedman] is absolutely true, there's this tacit nudging towards violence. Then also, how about showing up armed? What if black people showed up armed at a McCain rally? What would be the response of that?
Note the video you posted is from here:
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2009/10/03/garofalo-led-limbaug...
Also note you had to completely ignore what she said in order to have cherry picked one sentence out of it...
Once again...a typical liberal LYING to cover for another typical liberal.
Democrats...the party of hate...
"Also note you had to completely ignore what she said in order to have cherry picked one sentence out of it.."
I acknowledge everything she said. But you're the one cherry-picking, by not acknowledging a very important statement. It's pretty clear she wasn't talking about people that have problems with policy. My god, she said it in plain English. What do you need, an interpreter?
Pink Slip
LMAO...so exectly what people is she talking about then?
If everyone who went to a tea party is racist...which she says AGAIN...and everyone of the 9/12 marchers are racist...as she said again.....and all conservatives are racist...which she said again...and all whites are racist...as she said again....
That leaves who?
Oh...the left wing who arent happy that Obama hasnt gone far enough to the left...
The people she's talking about have a problem with not closing GITMO...with not prosecuting CIA interrogators...not happy that Bush is a still a free man...not happy we are still in afganistan and Iraq...not happy dont ask dont tell hasnt been repealed...
See...those people have a valid criticism...people on the left.....anyone else?...
Racist.
And as I said...I dont see why you are bothering to try and cover her butt...you and the other moonbats said the same thing anout the tea parties and 9/12 march right here on this blog.

It's in the video.

Also in the video:
“it's obvious to anybody who has eyes in this country that tea-baggers, the 9-12ers” are “clearly white power movements”
I think it's clear by what she originally meant.
No one answered my question. Was that Marcy?
MikeyA
Oh yeah that was her...sitting quietly while the skank slanders millions of American voters...
Brilliant!
I am just glad she's able to talk to someone since she doesn't find it necessary to talk to her constituents.
I guess Bill Maher and Michael Moore are more important than those in her district.
