Dear Ms. Garofalo,
I am writing to you in response to your remarks you made about those who attended the Tea Parties.
Contrary to what you believe, I am not a racist. Those who were at the Tea Party in Austin, Texas did not seem to be racist to me. I also, while we are in the realm of bigotry, would like to inform you, as the FOX NEWS guy did, that the manor in which you use the term "red neck tea baggers," was as bigoted as you can get.
As for the way you and your former "Air America" pal Rachel Maddow play around with the tea bagging word, I thought that was wrong. Since however you find no offense in using the word as a verb, well I won't feel bad using it in saying: You wish you can be tea bagged by the likes of me. I bet you would like it after a long game of basketball in the hot Texas sun.
You asked a question while you were releasing your last load of vitriol from your mouth in Boston; where were all the tea bagging rednecks over the last eight years, if this had to do with fiscal imprudence. I speak for myself when I say, I was at home yelling at my television. I was yelling why are our elected representative bickering over useless semantics, who did this, when was this done. I was screaming just fix the problem, figure out who and why after.
Then in October something strange happened. During a heated campaign, just before the election. Both sides stopped. Both sides said that we had to drop everything and rush $700+ billion through congress to bail out "companies to big to fail." I smelled something funny. It smelled like our government was tea bagging me after they debated for a week with no air conditioning or showers. The bickering stopped and a massive bailout was passed, by both parties. My Republican representatives were just as bad as the Democrats.
Next, Barack Obama is elected. Change is in the air in Washington. I did not vote for him, but I felt it could not be that bad. Boom, $787 billion Stimulus passed, with out any time to read the 10,000 page bill.
Ms. Garofalo, that is why myself and many others attended the Tea Parties. April 15th was just a day to be noticed. We are organizing another on Independence Day. I don't want your apology, I want your support. Your support against a tyrannical government, that did not become any less tyrannical with the new administration. Drop the party and just fight the politicians.
Sincerely,
Billyberoo
