Someone. Please muzzle this looney, whacked out cocaine head.
She doesn't know comedy. No one laughs with her but AT HER.

Go JANEANE GO!!!! Looks like the O'Reilly "jounalist" is the one who got ambushed. They are so used to people running away from them when they run up on some poor unsuspecting schmuck whilst they are running errands or performing some other mundane task. But JG did more than answer the questions, she took them to task! The Faux News journalist had NO FOLLOW-UP! Hurrah for her!

Are you sure your name isn't Jack OFF?????

Bullshit. Janeane Garofalo just pisses off right wingnuts because she says things they don't want to hear.
She just shoved that interview right up the Fox ambush interviewer's behind, and O'Reilly was too stupid to kill the broadcast of it.

Ambushed?? I thought she was enjoying the whole event. She always rises to the occasion to spew her tired rhetoric. Could it be LBD (Lymbic Brain Deficit)?

Yeah, you're black like I'm fuschia. Janeane said what I've been saying for a long time. 99% of the redneck hillbilly morons who say they disagree with PRESIDENT Obama's policies (as if they even understand what they are) are just enraged by the n****r in the White House.

Hey, View: That post had nine mentions of race in it. Try to learn to express your political opinions without resorting to the race card, OK?
And in case you didn't notice it, she was supporting black people while she was shoving that interviewer up the Fox intern's butt.

LOL! I like Janeane, and she has a lot of guts. But she should really ease-up on the racist argument. It's the classic 'red herring' that the right-wing will pounce on because they can't respond to anything else she is saying.
lablahlablah
They failed to mention the more important thing that the Teabaggers who said that they were going to protest her never bothered to show up.

I'm no fan of Garofalo, but compared to Billo she looks like a genius.
Sahas24
She gets uglier with every passing year--and I don't mean on the outside.

Gees Repukes have thin skin. 8yrs of dishing it out but a few months thus far of having to take it, and they are whimpering, and whining to no end. Garofalo is a little to far to the left for my personal tastes and after a while she does come off as a little shrill, but there is no comparison to Billo and his daily bile. I don't think there is any arguing with her statement at the end of the clip either.

Anyone who uses their time in front of a camera to call Bill O'Reilly the idiot/monster that he is should at least be praised for their honest use of airtime, if not given a medal. Maybe she's too left, but what does that make him? Moderate? No. And please remember that you always have to look at your source; a news clip from O'Reilly's show is never, ever actually going to display the unadulterated, uncensored answers of people who go against his politics. He lies for a living; why would he let other people speak their own, complete truths on his show?

She does have a point though. what else could it be? where was everyone on this during the last 8 years from the republican party? If that question can be answered then her race idea is no longer valid.
MrButton
JG rocks. Nothing ugly about her inside or out. She speaks the truth with wit and smarts. And you can just tell that Bill has the secret hots for her! You know he's thinking about her when he has phone sex with his personal assistants.

I think she is hilariously funny when she is doing comedy. In this case, she was completely serious about the fiscal irresponsibility of the Bush administration and the hypocrisy of Republicans who supported that waste and are now critical of the Obama administration. Bill O'Reilly's thinking is not worth discussing.
openhand
The ambush thing is all about rehearsing your point and giving your oppponent no chance to prepare.
Amazing how threatening to some a succinct, cool and intelligent woman can be.
magoo363
She answered each one of the questions and the "ambusher" seemed a little frustrated by that. What was edited out in the middle?

Shorter version of transcript:
Janeane Garofalo: I think those protestors are hypocritical and racist. Also, I don't care what Bill says.
Bill O'Reilly: Yeah? Well, you're not pretty!
Yep, he's a genius. You too, Sahas24. Pure genius.

Thanks for noticing!
