You may recall that actress Janeane Garofalo made a bigoted spectacle of herself a couple of months ago when she attacked people like me as racist rednecks because we oppose the Obama administration’s out-of-control government spending. Her outburst was as wrong as it was laughable.

Fox News gave Garofalo the chance to recant her false accusations, but she refused to apologize. But the organizers of April’s “tea party” in Dallas are giving her another chance to open her mind. They have invited her to Saturday’s Independence Day tea party in the same city.

Katrina Pierson, the star of Dallas’ first event, extended the first video invitation to Garofalo about a month ago. “[C]ome on down to Texas and join us for America’s Tea Party and celebrate the declaration to which our mission is to protect and preserve.”

Now Tea Party Patriots has released a second video invitation that features not only Pierson and other grassroots activists but also Internet media celebrities like Michelle Malkin and Alfonzo Rachel. “Your bigoted statement, formed in ignorance, slandered all of us when you didn’t know any of us,” one woman says in the clip.

“We suspect that you fear having to confront the reality that we’re not racist at all,” added Rachel, a black conservative who stars in the ZoNation videos for Pajamas TV. “… And it’s not because we’re better than anybody else; it’s because we are everyone else.”

The invitation is sincere, and if Garofalo has any character at all, she will accept it and see for herself that the folks behind America’s tea parties are enlightened rednecks, not racists.
