Don't know why this merited a news article, but I think the Herald is right wing:

Janeane Garofalo gig sparks protest in Somerville

It’s been a few weeks since the outspoken comedian and actress (“24”) called tea party tax protesters racists, but she is still in hot water with some Bay Staters.

A group of steamed citizens led by conservative radio talk host Ken Pittman of New Bedford’s WBSM-AM plan to protest outside her gig tonight at the Somerville Theatre.

“She has exposed herself as a bigot,” Pittman said.

About 20 to 40 people are expected to show up, he said, "along with 40 to 80 port-o-potties."

:rofl: The words in bold are mine of course. Seriously, 20 to 40 people??? I bet the people in line with have a ball with them before the show and they'll give Garofalo some more material for laughs!

Cuz they're so full of shit? n/t

[gratuitous]

1. I'll bet the forecast is off by a factor of 10

And that's only because it's a sunny Friday, and I'm feeling generous.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. You can't buy publicity like this.

[Swamp Rat]

18. yep

hee hee! :D

[Dappleganger]

3. Why don't they just boycott watching "24"?

*giggles*

[joeybee12]

4. Yup, the Herald is a freeper paper, owned by Murdoch...

...look up right-wing rag in the dictionary...you know the rest.

[MannyGoldstein]

8. Righty, But Not Murdoch

I'm pretty sure.

[Creena]

16. He sold it in '94.

Pat Purcell is the current owner/publisher, although I believe he holds an executive job with News Corp.

[rrneck]

5. What an image

Some bullshit radio host at the vanguard of a phalanx of 20 to 40 toothless idiots flanked by port o potties.

I'll just savor that for a moment if you don't mind.

[SlingBlade]

6. OK Lets play the fucking game then

These bastards at the Boston Herald had better run a story tomorrow about how only a few
'Tea Baggers' showed up for this bullshit

Gawd, These Rightwing pricks will not just go away, Their like fucking mosquito's

[demigoddess]

7. why, oh why, do so many people say HUGH. I guess I am so out of it. But it's

AWFUL!!

[MannyGoldstein]

9. Anyone From Boston Going To Watch The Spectacle?

I have half a mind to show up and fart in their general direction.

[MrMickeysMom]

10. Oh, NO! the limbic brain train!

Lots of them with bladders full of cheap beer!!!11!11!

[yellowcanine]

11. They will be lucky if they get 15.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

12. Will they each be dragging a port-o-pottie behind them? nt.

[flyingfysh]

13. in Somerville???

This is one of the most left-wing areas anywhere. During the last Congressional election, we voted 90% for the Democratic candidate. Who was second with 10%? Not a Republican. The runner-up was from the Socialist Workers Party.

[flyingfysh]

14. I just figured it out

Each protester is so full of s___ that he needs *2* port-a-potties to take care of him.

[LisaM]

15. That is HUGH by their standards. I'm series!

They are such morans and loosers.

I'm anxiously awaiting a pic thread on the doings. I live for Freeper picture threads; a bunch of badly-costumed throwbacks who are just mad at the world for no good reason. Then they all compliment each other on how great they look.

[Echo In Light]

17. Posting positive vibes for Janeane! Don't let the bastards grind ya down!

[arcadian]

19. I know you are just kidding around.

But you should not change a news article and then attribute it to the news agency where it originated.

[rvablue]

21. I agree that maybe I shouldn't have

and I actually thought twice before doing it.

And decided that I couldn't pass it up.

And it's also why I highlighted what I added and then immediatley and clearly made full disclosure.

So, yeah, maybe not the best idea. But I feel OK about how I went about it anyway!


:hi:

[bbernardini]

20. I really wish there was a bigger community of live comedy tapers.

There's plenty of people who record regular music concerts, but very few "unauthorized" recordings of comedy shows. I'd love to hear what she has to say about it.

[rvablue]

22. Maybe someone will capture some of it for YouTube.

Or she'll be back on KO next week to share her impressions of the MASSIVE protest outside of her show.

[graywarrior]

23. The Boston Herald

Bwahahahahahaha!

[Robb]

24. Seriously. What is it with the loony right and porta-potties?!?

[rvablue]

25. I hope you got

that I added the port-a-potty part as a joke.

I've already been admonished upthread for doing so just it to be clear that I tacked it on.

:hi:
