morgan and danny glover should take their act on the road…

Stick to acting, Morgan.  We don’t need advice from Hollywood liberal elites, like yourself. 

Easy Reader is right.

Saying all of it is because of/about racism is as dumb as saying none of it is because of/about racism.

Hey, this man played GOD in movies. Twice. His word, therefore, is. 

Predictable

When you can’t win the argument based on facts, make stuff up. When that fails, cry racism.

Gordon Freeman is disappointed to be related to Morgan Freeman.

This is disappointing. For so long MF, as far as I can tell, has never gotten into the political realm. While I believe that everyone has a right to speak, part of my respect for MF was that he didn’t speak. He acted in films, then went home. He’s usually quite shy publicity wise. So I don’t get why he’s doing this.

Only see a radical Liberal not a black man.  No It couldn’t be the liberal agenda Obama spews?  His lack of any leadership?  Nor ever working a real job and thus avoiding how the world really works.

jack welch has some better info on why no one’s hiring, and no, it’s not a race thing.  Regulations are out of control, and the  ’economic illiterates’ is what the CNBC analyst called Washington.  Well said.  
Jack Welch was CEO of GE and led it to great success.  I’d listen to Welch…. http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000047376

Lol throwing out the Racist card again ! I know people that attend the tea party events and they also spend their time at inner city food banks helping and making sure people have food and shelter. 

Other people I know personally attend the events have master degrees in engineering so all these stupid soap box statements are full of crap! Its about spending and nothing else! The media and the left lie lie lie!

Progressives definitely have trouble believing that reasonably intelligent people can rationally disagree with their imperatives, and thus assume that opposition is based on other factors like race.

I don’t care what color Obama is.  It’s his class warfare, unions-at-all-cost, sue states rather than enforce the laws, nanny-state philosophies that I object to. 

Condoleeza Rice for president, solves the race question and the gender question…

Frankly, I don’t care what Morgan Freeman, Alec Baldwin, Bruce Springsteen, or even Jon Voigt or John Wayne think/thought about politics.  The skills for which they are respected have no bearing on their ability to judge public or economic policy.

Morgan Freeman should keep such opinions to himself, even though he is technically right about everything.

When you have no good answers, one can always use the RACE Card.

He’s absolutely right. Enough of the people I went to high school with (rural Kansas town) are Tea Partiers for me to have zero doubt that racism is the unspoken (but not THAT unspoken) foundation that holds them together.

yes, Morgan, they is!

They gathered yet again, to hash out their differences,
    In just moments, the hair was flying, and Bachmann was crying
    McMitt began hammering and everyone tried to flex their muscles,
“That deer in the headlights look” on Perry’s face – priceless

Rick Santorum had abunch to say but with no decorum,     If you looked real close, there wasn’t much gray,   Close, shots, a little dab’ll do ya, Just along the edges with no more taxes,Big smiles, friendly takes and long on same old rhetoric,  The best line all night was that “Shovel ready sling at Obama!Zing! Zing! Every comment had little or no support or substantiation

Obama light, what a sight so how did you do, I read your book too,   Blah, blah, blah,, blah, and blah, Governor,Rick Santorum had abunch to say but with no decorum,     If you looked real close, there wasn’t much gray,   Close, shots, a little dab’ll do ya, Just along the edges with no more taxes,Big smiles, friendly takes and long on same old rhetoric,  The best line all night was that “Shovel ready sling at Obama!They gathered yet again, to hash out their differences,    In just moments, the hair was flying, and Bachmann was crying    McMitt began hammering and everyone tried to flex their muscles,”That deer in the headlights look” on Perry’s face – pricelessZing! Zing! But their every comment was a complete consternation! Again it looks like Obama won the so-called Republican debate!

She’s like a retarded See-and-Say.

The best Morgan Freeman ever looked was in a wooden box outside the saloon in “The Unforgiven”. Too bad he didn’t stay there.

WOW! SHOCKING! a political party or movement vowing to make a sitting president a one-termer. i never heard such language during the Bush, Clinton, and Reagon presidencies!

Yes because he policies are bad for American, not because of his skin color.  The only one who hates people around here because of their skin color is you, Cobra.  You’re hatred for Whitey is embarrassing.  It’s really hard to take anything you say seriously when you scream RACIST for someone using the term, “the little boy who cried wolf”.  If you haven’t made something of your life, it isn’t the fault of the white man.  Get over your hatred and move on.

America is so unfair to blacks says the famous rich black man

America is so unfair to blacks says the famous rich black man

obama makes far more sense the entire republican presidential field.

the tea party may not like him, but his ideas are clearly more reasonable
than the ideas floating out of republican presidential contenders.

so, opposition to obama stems from racist hatred of him, and not his
policies.  his policies are not unreasonable, in comparison to what
republicans are offering (more tax cuts, less regulations).

Silly liberals…the race card doesn’t work anymore….It isn’t just the Tea Party or GOP that can clearly see he is a failure, has nothing to do with his color of his skin.

Liberal idiots like Freeman are the racist ones!!!

Freeman is one of my all-time favorite actors. There probably are *some* who want Obama out of office because of his race, but I don’t think that’s the driving force of those who oppose him. It’s the huge divide, the enormous rise of partisan politics. Wouldn’t matter who the president was or what his race might be or whether he was Dem or Rep. The opposing party is going to go all out to bring him/her down. That is just the sad state of politics today in this country.

translation:  ”just stop talking altogether”

tell us what all you did Cobra to get Bush re-elected?

Oh goodie, another Hollywood idiot!

Hey Morgan.  I like your movies and hate the Marxist.  What am I, a racist or an individual.

LMAO!
 
 
You know the Dems have lost when they revert to the race card!
 
I’m so happy to see their pathetic hate-filled desperation and it is still 2011!!!!

Or Allen West!

You have a habit of saying incredibly outrageous bullshit and meaning every word of it. I have a habit of correcting incredibly outrageous bullshit from people who mean every word of it. Don’t like it? Leave or stop posting fallacious bullshit. Fact is Morgan is right to a degree; these people don’t give a damn about the country only about getting power their way or the highway. You’re one of them.

Thats right, the best thing that could happen to this Country is to make the incompetent community organizer a one termer.

Just like Rush, I too hope that Oblamer fails!!! He is a socialist big spending Liberal!

Not according to the American people Darla Loon.

All the left has left in their arsenal is to play the dreaded race card..

i thought his comments were very thoughtful and articulate

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, that’s why they have opposing parties. Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
So you say the Dems ran no one against Nixon, Reagan, etc. after their 1st. terms?

LMAO

Yawn

YES! Because all those other presidents worked REAL jobs. Also please tell me; what radical liberal thing has he done?

that statement has no basis in fact

obama polls higher than every republican contender

Morgan Freeman: Tea Party Controlled GOP’s Anti-Obama Goals Are ‘A Racist Thing’

Libera l/ Progessives abandoning the President is a patriotic thing ?

 ”So opposition to obama stems from racist hatred of him, and not hispolicies.”

Really? 

Why did you leave our Barry’s accomplishments due to his policies?
 
9.1% unemployment
Record # on food stamps
Record # on welfare
Record # in foreclosure
Record # living below the poverty level

Judging by comments here at Mediaite by gN0pigs, I wonder how anyone could get the impression that teabaggeds are nothing else but a pack of racist sore losers.

And “lynchings” are some of their favorite themes.

I wonder were they got such brilliant ideas.

It’s the left that is racist. They are in love with europe. Why are they in love? Is it because europe is doing well? Nope, it’s because of the lefts deep seated discomfort with african americans, and their need to get away from them. They all want to go to the whitest place on earth: Europe.

”They’re not going to get rid of Obama either,” he predicts. “They’re shooting themselves in the head.”

I wonder if Freeman even knows what happened in the 2010 elections and the historical elections in Mass and New York? Why do Liberals give Hollywood weirdos credibility?

That’s what you said about Charles Manson and Al Sharpton!!!.

What is a policy of 0′s that is reasonable?

Liberals know Ozero can’t run on his record so the race card, along with the class warfare card, is really all they have.  No one’s buying it anymore.

Yet you wonder why people think conservatives are low intelligence morons. Guess it’s time to go back to Beck University.

That’s why it confused the dummies.

Maybe they can join up with the Cornel West and Tavis Smiley? Ohhhh think of the race-bating they could get done?

Yes, those 2 millionaire black men are so, so repressed!

This from a black racist no less.

His current approval to disapproval is 40/52 (via Gallup).  You’re Messiah is toast.

Ironic, coming from Freeman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3cGfrExozQ

Listen to him and you might understand why he is doing this.

Very disappointing to hear people like Freeman fall back on the “racism” charge.  Does he honestly think that if Hillary Clinton were president, Mitch McConnell wouldn’t be trying to limit her to one term? 

And given that Obama is half-white, does that mean people are half-racist toward him? 

Are there racists who don’t like Obama?  Absolutely. But to lay off the obvious and expected opposition of a political party as racism is absurd (and pretty pathetic). 

So you base your view of a political movement on a few friends from high school or the opinion of a Hollywood actor? I suggest you watch a Herman Cain speech at a tea party event. Why not go to a tea party event and see for yourself instead of letting the media decide for you?

Next, Morgan will tell us how the US Govt. flew planes into the WTC and how Solyndra was a really good investment for all Americans.

Freeman is wrong, about Palin, anyway…she loves black dudes and black bone.

And there is ZERO proof that there are more racists in the Republican party than the Dem party. 

What “class warfare” you idiot?

3% increase in tax rates, which DOES NOT AFFECT YOU, is “class warfare”?

I am sure you are, like Billdo, just waiting for the perfect timing to leave the USA.

michelle, focus

obama polls HIGHER than every single republican presidential contender

and he polls higher than the republican congress overall

I think The_Real_Royal_Court_Jester passed out from drinking each time a tbagger wished someone dead

both

Maybe it’s how the meme of Obama never working a “real job” fits in nicely with the racist stereotype of the lazy black man. 

When asked if he was disappointed with Obama, Morgan said “kind of”. So he can be disappointed with this president, but “white folk” can’t be disappointed without being racists? This is a no win situation, just like asshole Al not-so Sharpton as MSNBC’s new buffoon. How they gonna fire this political hack from hell when his numbers continue to plummet witout getting called racists. Unfortunately the first black president is in way over his head, but the only defense the left has anymore is we’re all racists. Even blacks are getting disappointed, are they racists too? I liked George Burns better as God anyway.

focus, dude

i said that obama’s ideas are more reasonable than republican ideas

and numerous republicans privately AGREE with obama on a whole range of policies

for example, take healthcare: republican idea.  

take tax cuts:  those were the BUSH tax cuts, extended by obama

take drilling:  obama has drilled more than ANY OTHER PRESIDENT

take immigration:  even sheriff joe lauded the president’s handling of the border

take gay marriage:  haven’t seen it yet

take the EPA:   weakened under obama

take the FDA:  weakened under obama

take surveillance and executive orders:  started under bush, expanded under obama

You people are all class aren’t you?

The thing that seriously sucks with all this racially based boys cry wolf routine is that we will probably never see another black President for the next few generations.

i said “more reasonable” (than the leading republican) contenders

how else do you explain their hatred of obama? 

it’s not based on reason alone.

it’s based on his skin color and his funny name, his birthplace, his love of country, and
the fact that hawaii just really isn’t a state, much less a place for a president to vacation

Morgan is a pretty smart guy. Perhaps he can explain to us why Herman Cain is a Tea Party favorite.

Obama wants to tax the rich , that make me happy !!!

Freeman is pointing out that the often repeated goal of making Obama a one term president is irrational. He goes on to explain why. He is not responding to what he sees as rational behavior. He is responding to what he sees as irrational behavior.

Darla Loon and there have been polls showing him losing to Romney.  You can find a poll to say whatever you want.  Obama canNOT win with 30% of the I vote and a disapproval of 52%.  But by all means, keep deluding yourself!

You can be disappointed and all but when you walk around with posters of the president’s picture with a bone through his nose, that kind of is considered racist, you know

If it’s not FEAR-and-SMEAR, it’s their patented “THE RACE CARD™”  – that’s all the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist extremists have.

Johnny Rebel begs to differ:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN9XwbasOIU&feature=related

You can be disappointed and all but when you you call the president a ‘boy’, that kind of is
considered racist, you know

They do that annually at Tavis Smiley’s hate America conference called “The State of Black America.”
 
 They have the biggest collection of wealthy successful blacks telling  black people how bad America is , how they will never make it in America and how having a sense of loathing for white people and America will set you on a course for  self-realization.

Oh I’m not leaving, we are just fighting against you liberals trying to “fundamentally change” this great country. 

http://enriquesantos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/laughing.gif

I’m going to have to object here. This is great advice:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3cGfrExozQ&feature=related

I just wish he were taking his own advice here.

You are still ignoring Barry’s failures, dear!
 
LOL

You can be disappointed and all but when you are, hang around with, and egg-on birthers, that kind of is considered racist, you know

Liberty? Never heard of it.

Morgan Freeman seems like a smart guy I imagine he’s acting.

this coming from a unemployed, spoiled college kid, who blogs all day long, living off
his parents or a trust fund

You can be disappointed and all but when your party’s titular drug-head calls our president Imam Obama, that kind of is considered racist, you know

Actually, it’s more the street hustler stereotype. And it fits. 

Yes, any reasonable person would base his beliefs  on a Youtube video!
 
LMAO

Yeah, when has a party ever NOT wanted to make the other party’s guy a one-termer?

Yeah, when has a party ever NOT wanted to make the other party’s guy a one-termer?

obama is a formidable opponent

on a national ticket, he beats them all, hands down

you can’t win a presidential race while taking either of these positions:

1.  climate change is a hoax

2.  social security is broke

You can be disappointed and all but when your party’s entire strategy is delegitimizing the president and paint him as an ‘unreal’ American and the ‘other’, that kind of is considered racist, you know

It was funny when I had to push “whiter” to admit he was molested in HS.

Molested by some REAL BIG BLACK GUYS.

Now, you gN0pig idiots, can start by saying BIG BAD BLACK President Obama MOLESTED ME… with CLASS WARFARE.

don’t spare any details. Especially when HE used the race card. Videos would be nice.

I hope we survive President Downgrade’s failure.

And finally, you can be disappointed and all but when you on the right are generally known as racist bigots, that kind of is considered racist, you know

well, tell us stonepark—

what did freeman say that you reject?

give me a specific example

So… are we back to not saying the “R” word? It’s just that it’s getting rather confusing. The people who shout “race card” or “race baiter’ and play drinking games are acting inconsistently. From reading the Joe Walsh article I thought it was okay to talk about race again, but now Morgan Freeman is talking about race and from some of the posts it seems we’re back to dropping the flag on racial discussions.

Let’s look at some of the posters the libs carried around, libturd:

http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=621

You lose, (-).

What’s wrong, dear, your welfare and Section 8 checks didn’t arrive yet?

You  are the ones complaining and whining all the time!

Sad day in America when anyone who criticizes the President of the United States is called a racist. 

If you can’t stand the heat, get back in the kitchen.

Can’t people just be against his policies and not be racist. Were the Dems racist againt Bush?? Ya know some self hatred racism or something.

Wanting to make sure obama only serves 1 term is racist?? When you are losing just cry racism I guess.

Darla loon says:

on a national ticket, he beats them all, hands down

Wrong, at times he also loses to them, hands down. 

Freeman somberly suggests that Republican anti-Obama goals are “a racist thing” that show “the weak, dark undersides of America.”

Prove it child.

More than double that of house republicans

ps – he fell below 50% when he tried to reason with repubs on debt ceiling

He’s offering tax cuts for billionaires. He wants to cut their tax rate to 15%.

“If asking a billionaire to pay the same rate as a plumber or a teacher
makes me a warrior for the middle class, I wear that charge as a badge
of honor.”

He’s willing to fight for tax tax cuts for the rich!

Really? You haven’t met a street hustler. I truly envy you.

So you will shut your fat govt. dependent mouth if the rich are taxed 3% more?

Put that in writing!

“Republican Candidate” Extends Lead vs. Obama to 47% to 39%

Stick a fork in him. He’s done.

He’s not running against “house Republicans”.  Btw, Congress always has very low approval numbers. 

Should I assume that Morgan is racist because he wants Obama to have a second term and not give a white man a chance. Or is he Sexist because it has got to be a womans turn now. Right?

See how dumb this all sounds?

LOL
 
That all you got lib?
 
Sorry, you pathetic libs  removed any stigma that existed with the word “racist” by changing its meaning to “a person who disagrees with Obama.”

LOL

Well liberals did openly tell us that any criticism of The One would be called racist.  They are just keeping their word.

Consider the source.

Take your meds.

It’s based on his Marxist worldview. 

Herman Cain 2012!

it’s based on his skin color ”
 
So you voted against McCain because of his skin color?

What a racist you are!

‘…Street Hustler?’

You’re too kind.

The well thought out words of a Tea Party/Republican supporter.

If Hermain Cain ever had a real chance at the Nomination all the racially tinged remarks by yourself and others would struggle not to make themselves felt. As it is you all do just fine…

…Congratulations!

It is a source?

Michelle, do you think the founders envisioned McDs?

Picture this, if you can. The “great country” was built by stealing land from the NATIVE AMERICANS and importing SLAVE LABOR all the way from Africa.

Probably you want to go back to the good ol’ times.

No it’s not.  You can keep saying it, but it won’t make it true.

He flat out stole the nomination from Hillary, so I think the Dems are huge sexists.

So what should we do, Mr. Fair Child, lock Ms. Daisy up????

That was an interesting  video of Freeman. You know, I forgot he was black today for  2:34 minutes.

Dissent = Racism

he’s done everything bush would have done, and then some

and since bush was a republican, i’m not sure why republicans hate obama so much

While I don’t necessarily agree with Freeman, I do think that Tea Partiers willfully projected all their fears – socialism, marxism, maoism and maybe also some race sentiments – onto Obama, who’s positions are fairly centrist. Unfortunately for America those irrational fears distorted if not dominated the political debate. Instead of talking about actual issues we’re caught up in plowing bullshit 24/7.

you don’t even know what marxism is

Well said Mr Freeman let them squirm and pretend its otherwise.Unfortunately all the placards at demonstrations and racially tinged comments on this site suggest otherwise.

Good work keep it up.

*sigh* oh man, Morgan. So sad now. Shawshank and Glory are two of my most favorite films ever, and now I have to watch them knowing that he thinks I, and a lot of my friends, are racist, just because we disagree politically with Obama. 

Well, add another one to the list of people I won’t hand my money over to anymore. Why, why, why can’t actors and singers just zip their lips. 

For anyone interested in deepr background over the Tea Party check out the findings of a few professors. Among their findings are that the Tea Party is”overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white
Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before
Barack Obama was president, and they still do.”

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/survey-surprising-finding-tea-party-less-popular-atheists-160220531.htmlhttp://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/survey-surprising-finding-tea-party-less-popular-atheists-160220531.html

Here we go again, with the playing of the race card. Typical. Does Freeman know that Hollywood liberals and  media liberals, are turning on Obama’s policies in droves?’ MSNBC did its best to promote Obama 24/7, but that didn’t work out so well. Chris Matthews even said that it was his ‘job’,  to help make Obama a success.  How’d that work out for him?

Above all, the beginnings of the Tea Party movement, began under Bush’s bailouts. Any politician or his supporters, who can’t accept critique of his/her policies, probably aren’t up to the task anyway. Personal responsibility need to kick-in at some point. Equality means taking the bad with the good.

That would be good for a start.  How about some “blacks only” establishments and importing people from Europe to provide blacks with slave labor?

Sad to hear one of my favorite actors call those who don’t like Obama’s politics racist. And discouraging to see how the black community continues to look at whites as racist first, individuals second.

Laura Ingrahm said it best about lib singers: “Shut-up and sing.”

I had a Youtube video that would change your opinion about your mom, but Youtube took it down because it was too sexually explicit.  

Stop calling him a centrist.  He may be trying to act like one, but the man is not a centrist.  A centrist does not spend his life surrounding himself with racists/communists,/marxists.  And he has. 

That snide comment illustrates the problem. It strongly implies that because they’ve had successful acting careers they know nothing of oppression or being repressed; that they are just whiners. It’s an attitude that falls in line with the ignorant belief that once the chains were taken off blacks, and the whips put away, everything was A-Okay!, everyone was immediately on equal footing, and there is no lasting impact from slavery.

Just google Campbell, Putnam and Tea Party if the link does not work. They make very clear that the Tea Party is the most extreme faction inside the Republican Party.

Another verification that the right is winning. Wanting to limit the opposing party’s president to one term is racist? What a hoot! Pretty soon, waking up in the morning will be called racist. Well, I guess when you have nothing else, you might as well try, although I gotta say, crying racism became lame years ago, being used so often that it no longer meant “racist” in any real sense, it simply became the white flag of the left, they lost an argument, and so try and put an end to it with the racism bullshit. What a bunch of pathetic little dweebs.

Shock me, say something intelligent.

Yes, rich people have it so hard, isn’t that the lib refrain?

Now please you hypocrite, kindly STFU!

Didn’t you know? Marx (along with Mao and the rest) re-incarnates as a boogeyman whenever there’s a Democrat in the White House. It’s an automatism, regardless of how centrist the president is or how much he concedes to republicans or Wallstreet.

Wait a minute, there is an explanation for that.  Pick any of the perjoratives.

Get your lib crybaby ass into a time machine and cry those people a river. We are talking about 2011, not 1811, you cretin.

I was going to say the same thing.  As a big fan of “Though the Worm Hole”, I find his comments very unfortunate.

You’re not yourself today. I noticed the improvement immediately.
Your ridiculous little opinion has been noted.

SCOAMF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Among their findings are that the Tea Party is”overwhelmingly white”
 
And?
 
The CBC and the NAACP are overwhelmingly black- are they racists?

Well, shit!!
If Morgan Freeman, MORGAN FREEMAN, has weighed in, what else needs to be said??
I mean, Cm’on!!!

You libs are experts on that!

You got more issues than National Geographic!

I hate to break it to your stereotypical conservative fear of change, but America (along with the rest of the world) has always changed. You can’t stop or “fight” change. It gradually happens. There nothing “fundamental” about the changes Obama tried to bring. He, for the most part, brought republican formulas to the table in hope to reach bipartisan agreements. And was called a Marxist for it.

If you want to talk “fundamental change”, look at the massive transfer of wealth from the middle class up to the richest few percent, that happened over the past 30 years. That’s something that should scare you.

So THAT is your excuse for killing thousands of Native Americans and ENSLAVING THOUSANDS of BLACKS. You tell them to shut up.

Explain why I CANNOT TELL YOU THE SAME, YOU MORON.

We, and PRESIDENT OBAMA, are going to ENSLAVE your pink sorry arses. And you are going to like it.

Talk about posting outrageous BS, does your spigot ever turn off?  “these people don’t give a damn about this country only about getting power”, geez, the sad part is that you believe the dems do.  LMAO! That’s the definition of a lemming.

Do 67% of whites in America belong to the Tea Party? Only 33% of whites supported Obama in August. LOL.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/149351/Obama-Job-Approval-Sinks-New-Lows-Among-Whites-Hispanics.aspx

He was the Electric Company. He knows what he is talking about.

I grew up in a socialist country and should know best what a socialist / communist looks like – and I laugh at your generic accusations of socialism and communism. I’m sorry to tell you, that you were simply naive enough to buy into a boogeyman narrative that your side, predictably, replays each time when there’s a Democrat in the White House. It’s sad to watch, really. And it doesn’t help.

BWAAAAAA, then it must be a fact.  Thanks for clearing that up.  LMFAO. You just can’t make this shit up.

There’s a lot of money to be made by continually stirring things up. This crap would have died years ago if not for the likes of a bunch of black preachers who peddle racism, then retire in exclusive communities on golf courses.

There goes the diet coke, thanks for the laugh!

Also: As I said in a thread above, there nothing “fundamental” about the changes Obama tried to bring. He,
for the most part, brought republican formulas to the table in hope to
reach bipartisan agreements. And was called a Marxist for it.

You’re seeing a whole team of psychiatrists aren’t you?

No Morgan Freeman is fine.

You have made some of the most risible and racially tinged comments on this site over a long period.

Stop pretending that you somehow will counteract Mr Freeman’s comments and reach…you can’t!

“Elites.”  ”Lamestream media.”  ”Gotcha journalism.”  God I love the trolls on this site.  They hate pretty much every thing that’s posted but can’t get enough of it.  Complain, complain and complain some more. Must be nice to have that much free time.

I hope he and Tavis keep this up.  It exposes their foolishness.  People aren’t afraid of that empty charge anymore.  It has been exposed as a fabricated lie.

I don’t care what is, isn’t, or you consider to be, a lib refrain. I’m neither a liberal nor a conservative. I’m a person capable of independent thought without having to check the current position of some group to determine my own stance. Granted I’m not one of these people who have been conditioned to care more about the super rich than everyone else, but at the same time I recognize that money doesn’t eliminate all problems.
It makes since you would want me to shut up. The truth hurts. Oh, wait you typed “STFU!” I guess that means you REALLY, REALLY want me to shut up. Try not to be so angry. Everyone loses an argument sometime. Some more than others, lol.

 I’m a racist, you’re a racist, he’s a racist, she’s a racist, wouldn’t ya like to be a racist too…

EVERYBODY SING!

Teabagged leader Mark Williams expelled for racist comments…

That was soooooo unfair.

Damn. Just goes to show you never know who you’re talking to on the other side of that internet connection.

Not until you bring out the clean sheets and hoods.

That will take a while, until you sober up.

Yes, that has clearly been the history in this country. The problem is the black community not looking at whites as people. SMH.

I couldn’t agree with you more!  Also, thanks for posting the statistics, which we’ll never see from the Palinbots or the Tea Party people.

Some people hear what they want to hear (Tommy Christopher comes to mind) and because they heard a group of people disagree with someone they agree with they become convinced the former is evil.  None of these twits step back and honestly debate the issues, its all irrational hate hate hate.

“Republicans and Tea Partiers who say, “Screw the country; We’re going to do…what ever we can to get this black man out of here.”—Freeman

I haven’t heard ONE Tea Partier or Republican say that…..Why does the lame stream media refuse to make him back that statement up with proof?

Ohhh thats right, they might be labeled a racist themselves…what a joke!!

You go get them mmars. Expose racism for the myth that it is. People actually think this way. SMH.

Here’s a tip for our tea-party friends on the right, when you see overwhelming evidence that consensus may indicate that the perception is that you tend to have racist tendencies, perhaps the solution is not attacking the consensus but take an intellectual path, look inwards and realize what you consider not racist is perhaps at odds with reality

If you still want to contradict reality, why not sit down with some of those considered targets of your racism and go over you feelings of disgust with them and ask them if they consider these feelings racist. If the answer is affirmative and you still see denial as a suitable route out, then… it’s a free country, I guess

hahahahaha…the heat is getting turned up on you racist teabaggin assholes….thats a good thing…youre racism has consumed you in the last 2 1/2 years….now youre getting called out for it…you stupid mofos rail against healthcare, education,science and history….well repealing the 20th century wont be allowed…and all attempts to erase your sorrid history of racism will be stopped….Obama is ya new daddy…..get used to it..still over 5 years left for you to suffer under black rule hobbits

In the last 2 1/2 years we must of had a racist epidemic in this country. The president had a 68% positive job performance rating in Jan. 2009 and now it’s down to 38%. Was he a white man in 2009 and changed over to a black man in 2011? Did he change his name from Barry no middle name in 2009 to Barack Hussein in 2011?
Maybe people are looking at the state of this country and asking themselves if things are any better or do they think they are going to get better.They then evaluate the performance of the President. They always did that for white presidents.Should we give him a pass because he’s black?  

“And finally, you can be disappointed and all but when you on the right are generally known as racist bigots, that kind of is considered racist, you know “When do you think the DNC will make the nazi play call?  How about the stupid paly call?  when the economy is in the tank, unemployment where it is the media trots out anyone to trash those who disagree. That’s all they have.  Has nothing to do with the shape we’re in.  What a joke these lemmings are.

I’d let Herman Cain answer Morgan ‘the Puppett’ Freeman…

Or perhaps better yet – when it is complete and utter bullshit you suggest the idiots calling you racist sit down and contemplate what the in the hell you did that they think is racist, and have them ask you about it.  Odds are whatever policy decision they disagree with you on you’ve always held similar views and together you can come up with examples where the decision was the same but its demonstrable race had nothing to do with it.

Just because a rapist says “she asked for it” doesn’t make it so – in 99.9999999999999999999% its BS, just like this racist nonsense, except as with all groups and subjects (fake moon landing) there’s probably .01 or 1% who actually do have racist tendencies – and that goes to all political ideologies.

I don’t know if it’s because of my sincere affection for Freeman that forces me to give him a pass on this but perhaps, one might do well to place themselves into the shoes of those having another perspective.  I do not agree that race plays an important role in the strong resistance to Obama and his policies (God knows they are disasterous enough) but care must be taken when attempting to refute the charges offered by Freeman and others.  There IS a certain passion among some that I find extraordinary, an almost visceral dislike of Obama not seen even in the heady days of Clinton’s worst moments.  Is some of it derived from the mistrust many have for him and his associates, perhaps.  Is there a fear remaining for some, remembering some of his worse gaffes - ”spread the wealth around”? – quite likely, or is it a more deep seated loathing of the direction this country has taken and he unfortunately occupies what many believe to be the ‘driver’s seat’?  I recognize that many of my comments here have not been as ‘temperate’ as they have been in the past, and I have been caught in the “who can sink lower” trap from time to time, but that doesn’t mean I have failed to notice that the political dialogue in this country has gone from ‘spirited’ to downright ‘hateful’.  It’s not just conservatives vs Obama, it’s liberal vs conservative vs moderate and everyone in between.  Now don’t think for one moment that my commentary here reveals some kind of epiphany on my part, but it does cause a moments pause.

The TParty theme song everyone

Its because most republicans were unhappy with Bush also.. But since Bush was so much like Obama why do Dems hate him so much?

Your klan robes are showing again Drag Queen.

Cain/Huntman 2012

Unions are Overwhelmingly white also.. And they are violent also… Racists the whole lot of em

Their constituents would drink bath water and eat beans if it meant that their preacher lived the good life.. That kind of mentality ill never understand

Here it goes again for the gN0pigs.

First you argue LBRULS voted for candidate Obama just because he is black.

If THAT WAS THE REASON then his approval rating would stay the SAME, you racist phucks.

If we LBRULS VOTE BASED ON RACE, according to YOU gN0pig racists, then maybe Prez Obama TURNED white. So he loses the LBRUL vote, and is not WHITE enough to earn your racist arse gN0pig vote.

Which is it?

Oh, please tell us President Obama is NOT white enough to earn your vote.

PLEASE.

She’s not worth your time and too ignorant to bother responding to.  When you see that name don’t even bother reading the bullshit that follows it.

I will tip my glass to you this evening my friend

More like the national anthem.

Morgan and company scoff at anything less…

Patsy, you’ve never seen a clean sheet in your entire life.

Just dirt, pine straw, and the hair of the wolves that raised you.

No need.  You guys are working very hard at exposing racism for the superfluous partisan claptrap that it isn’t. 

Take a bow.

Morgan, shut up and act you racist ….

Uncle Ruckus has served his purpose.  Uncle Ruckus put himself up so teabaggers like you can point and say “see I’m not racist”.  Now that he has accomplished his mission where is Cain in the polls? 

Yeah, how dare I judge a man on the content of his character (or his acting ability) and not his skin color!

Individualism versus Collectivism.  It’s the difference between Liberals and Conservatives. 

You libs are really fucked in the head

I’m waiting for a liberal to defend this President and his record. But it becomes clear that thats not going to happen its nothing but name calling attacks. Going to be real tough winning people over doing this.

Teabaggers throwing up Herman Cain to prove they aren’t racist.  Uncle Ruckus has served his purpose, he’s given every teabagger a black friend they can point to.

Observations from another resident mediaite racist.  Come on you know you want to call him…go ahead. Didn’t hear anyone calling racism when Lynn Swann lost in PA.  How transparent you people are.

 Oh, right, Robert, Mark, John-T, Scott… (whoever of your cohort drew the straw today),
you’ve been falsely maligned as being as likely to vote for Alan Keyes and Herman Caine as for Al Gore.

sheesh…

Do you have ANY proof of the Tea Party being racists?
I didnt think so…your just being an immature and ignorant troll.

Typical!!

Typical Liberal blah blah.

Why do you waste your time?  You would be better off trying to get a brick wall to focus or trying to teach calculus to your dog.

When was there ever a time, in our lifetime, that we did NOT talk about race? What exactly is it that you want to talk about?

Well indeed I shall. I agree it ISN’T a superfluous partisan claptrap. I am glad we agree on that. I was starting to give up hope that anyone so willfully ignorant, of racism’s historic and continued role in this society, could eventually see the light. Your acknowledgement that we’re “exposing racism for the superfluous partisan claptrap that it ISN’T” (capitalization of “isn’t” mine) leaves me with a shred of hope for your peers. Yes indeed, I shall take a bow.

For someone who isn’t worth your time, you sure spend a lot of time focused on me. 

It helps when you can put your thoughts into English…. just sayin’

She doesn’t really like the dudes but will tolerate them long enough to get at their bones.

Congratulations, introspection and insight is its own reward.

I’ve never said anything more caustic about our president than that I think some of his policies are misguided, but that I pray every single day for his safety and for his for his wisdom and discernment in leading our country, just as I did for presidents before him.

I’m still called a KKK member. 

Again, doing the right thing must necessarily be its own reward. 

You want anything more than that and you’re signing on to blogboards under 15 different names and calling contrarian female politicians cheap.

so? free speech ain’t it? You Libs DO support freedom of speech, right? what about your boy, Obama?

“99.9999999999999999999% its BS, just like this racist nonsense”

See that. This person actually thinks that 99.9999999999999999999% of racism claims are bs. This person refers to racism as nonsense, as if it is just some made up construct. They post stuff like this and wonder why people consider them offensive bigots.

I don’t agree with everything Morgan Freeman said but I’m glad he said what he said. I think the word ‘racism’ has lost all its meaning, especially in these quaint political discussion on political websites. Whether it’s rightwingers calling liberals racists or vice versa. The reality is that many rightwingers show the symptoms or syndrome of attitudes that many racists and bigots have. When, at the last few Republican debates you start boo-ing gay soldiers and cheering at Rick Perry’s record setting executions, when you’ve never ever given Obama a chance and seem hellbent on destroying his presidency and hurting the majority of American, when you have no viable ideas or programs to help solve our problems, when you have no insight into how much damage Geo. Bush did, one begins to have  dark thoughts about rightwingers.
Before Obama, your hatred of anything liberal, progressive or Democrat was best seen in your attempted destruction of Bill Clinton, but despite your attacks this clever guy was able to accomplish quite a bit. With Obama, let’s face it, you’ve never given this guy a chance. It was birther BS from the beginning. Of course, it wasn’t ‘solely’ because he’s black, but race was definitely a factor, don’t you think? Most rightwingers are not racists but you support values and morals that are defintely not egalitarian, compassionate or, even mainstream. You were definitely not the types on the forefront of the civil rights movements. Also, you criticize the left for their harsh attacks on Bush. Bush did a thousand time more harm than Obama who inherited this mess. It would have  saved a lot of lives and money if you had joined the millions of us who loudly protested the Iraqi adventure which anyone with half a brain knew was going to end in disaster, etc. etc. A little more self-honesty from rightwingers would help us all.

Except Censure – that comment was about rape – for racism it was .01 to 1%.  Try again, one of these days maybe something will stick.

Oh Morgan,Morgan,I am one of your biggest fans and so appreciate your acting chops but oh sad,sad,sad to hear you voice these silly and racist comments…I expected much more from you….What you say to friends and family regarding your views is your business but getting into the mud like this is un warranted,beneath you  and vile….

If I disagree with one’s perspective, putting on their shoes, so to speak, is not going to enlighten me… basically, I can already “understand” where he’s coming from…. I just disagree. I can’t imagine which of his shoes I would have to wear in order to agree with THIS particular point of view of his.

Maybe he can explain why Clarence Thomas is an Uncle Tom.

Ok, Tim Scott, Alan West, JC Watts, Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Condoleeza Rice, Michael Steele, Ken Blackwell, Alveda King etc etc etc. How do you explain conservative support for all of these leaders? Are they all Uncle Toms? And then consider MLK Jr. Go to this website for some education. http://www.nbra.info/

I meet people like you everyday. Unfortunate that you’re not this direct and outspoken face-to-face. Are you people confusing free-speech with anonymity or are you simply cowards?

I think most people support free speech. I think honesty is a positive attribute as well. For example, there were some blatantly racist white nationalist posting in another article. Now while I think they are scumbags and don’t agree with them, I do appreciate their honest manner in that they didn’t try to cling to plausible deniability in the midst of their racist commentary while espousing racist sentiment through a thin veil. That puts them a step above the cowardly type who respond to posts complaining of a racist act, by denying the act has a racial motive, while simultaneously indulging in that very act merely for the sake of its racial significance.

Tell me then why was the Tea Party not in existence during the spending spree of the Bush administration, particularly the 6 years of a Bush white house and republican congress?  If it was about the debt, that is when the debt was piling up and it would have seemed reasonable that people who thought that the millions of newly hired TSA people to guard our airports was a bit too expensive or the wars were too costly.  But no, the Tea Parties didn’t come into existence until a black man became president to assume the masssive debt and economic mess left behind by the big spender white guy.

So, you can really understand why race is a reasonable question and motive here.

I’m sure that there was lasting impact from slavery.  For one blacks are still bitter at other blacks for kidnapping them from their homeland and selling them to the white man.

Conservatives “support” those Blacks when they stay on script. Let them veer off that script, as Condoleeza Rice did by supporting Affirmative Action, or daring to challenge Dick Cheney in the media. Then all of a sudden, they have no use for them.

 FYI, ktrich,  White Conservatives HATED MLK Jr, to the point that they hectored, oppressed, imprisoned and eventually murdered him.

Lol!! For the Tea Baggers here, doesn’t it get old constantly being called a racist?? Why do so many think you guys are against Obama because he’s African-American?? Though, you guys didn’t vote for him, that doesn’t mean if Obama was a Republicon, you wouldn’t support his policies, even though he’s African American… right? 

I mean come on!! Look at the history of the Republicon Party and how they done so much for minorities!!

Look at how many African-Americans are Republicons in this country… there has to be hundreds!!

What has happened that caused so many to look at Republicons as racist… their actions?? Their members?? Their statements?? I don’t know??

Herman Cain has some great Republicon ideas, but has only 5% of the Republicon vote… why is that??

Maybe there’s a Republicon racist out there who could explain all this to us??

Of course, you’ll take a bow.

It takes dedication and a lot of brass to turn the concept of racism into little more than a partisan epithet.

Trivialization takes determination, you’ve proved it.

“For the Tea Baggers here, doesn’t it get old constantly being called a racist??”

No, actually, I like it. It’s like the progressive white flag that comes up when they lose an argument and want it to end.

Right, Michelle. You agree with McConnell that there’s ABSOLUTELY NOTHING….not a SINGLE THING in your life more important than having a Republican in the White House. Not the economy…not terrorism…not health care…not job creation…NOTHING.

 And you’re pissed off because because you want to call 50 year old Black men “Boy” with impunity?

 That junk might work at the compound with your sister wives, but I’ll call you out for it in here.

–Cobra

“Uncle Ruckus”…. wow, you’re not only stupid as shit, you’re also an ignorant racist bigot.

I find it funny and pathetic on how most of you Republicons think Liberals are racist when Liberals voted an African-American or President!!

Yep, he’s done with me. Once these people say stupid shit like he did, I can no longer stand to look at them.

Tom Hanks is a brilliant actor.  I cannot stomach anything he participates in. It’s not something I even think about. I just naturally tune them out completely.

So the most important thing and first priority of Tip O’Neal, Speaker of the House under Reagan, was what?  

–Cobra

Your white guilt is showing…. or are you another racist black idiot like Step n fetch it Freeman?

Your white guilt is showing.

That 40% is actually pretty high. Most polls nowadays have him sitting in the high 30′s.

He doesn’t poll higher than Romney, you fucking waterhead.

Also, i’m not sure if you’re aware of this or not, but he’s not running against the Republicans in congress. Are you purposely obtuse or are you really this stupid?

If he’s so much like Bush why the hell do you worship him and claim that Bush is the anti Christ?

He surely does since it’s HIS opinions that you’re labeling as being racist.

What I wonder is how he can post “stuff [statements] like this” and have you utterly ignore them:

“”Or perhaps better yet – when it is complete and utter bullshit you
suggest the idiots calling you racist sit down and contemplate what the
in the hell you did that they think is racist, and have them ask you
about it.  Odds are whatever policy decision they disagree with you on
you’ve always held similar views and together you can come up with
examples where the decision was the same but its demonstrable race had
nothing to do with it.

Felix, where in my post did I say we have not talked about race. Pay attention. I never asked if we could talk about race. The question I put forth was when is it okay to talk about race? We can say or do a lot of things that people may not deem to be okay behavior. There are people on mediaite, and in the larger world, who are quick to deny race as a motive when someone tries to have the kind of discussion we are talking about. These are the people that try to minimize the impact and existence of racism, who use terms like race card, and pretend to play little drinking games when someone mentions racism. What is funny is that they don’t have a problem when someone like Walsh says what he said. You know what he said because you posted in that article trying to defend him on his child support issues, before you backtracked and abandoned that sinking ship. Yet, here we are with Morgan Freeman claiming a racial motive for something and we have a return of the posts decrying his mentioning of racial motive.

By the way Felix, this country has never seriously discussed and dealt with the ramifications of racism and where to go from there.

Like when those Democrats were caught on tape saying they wanted to lynch Clarence Thomas?

Find one video or audio of something remotely close to that vile from the right and I will give you a cookie, champ.

I hope the libs keep repeating the racist stuff…with only 37% approval of Oblunder among independents. 

Telling 63% of independents that they are racists – will only help the Republican Party.

Come on libs – what am I and everyone else?

I can’t want for the door to door campaigning to begin, the liberals will be knocking on the doors of Republicans and 2/3rds of all independents, then calling them racists. That strategy will make AttackWatch look like a good idea.

The DNC should start a national ad campaign – calling the, now, majority of Americans racists. I might even contribute money to them just to see it.

Hey retard, pay attention, it’s a little deeper than that, lol. 

Um, I never called Ozero “boy”.  And i’m not pissed at all.  It’s you that’s always seething with rage at Whitey.  You are by far the biggest racist I have ever come across.

That’s great but it doesn’t change the fact the Tea Party is mostly people that are racists… bring up any liberal organization you want.. doesn’t change reality that your side is messed up in the head.

DERP BUT WAT ABOUT NAACP DERP…

doesn’t matter, stop changing the subject, lol. NAACP is what you compare it to? BWHAHAHA what a dumbass.

If a President is ruining the country it should be #1 on their list to get rid of him.

So let’s see… when you guys choose the black guy over a woman, it’s because he’s better qualified, but when we don’t, it’s because we’re racists?

Why don’t you be honest? Obama got elected because we were in 2 wars, the economy was tanking, and people wanted change. On one side you had a crusty old white man and on the other side a well spoken  black man. Hope and Change. This country had progressed to the point that even with some racists in this country Obama got elected.
It’s almost 3 years later and all you can do is compare him to Bush. Why compare Obama or defend him on the performance of somebody you consider one of the worst Presidents in our history?
Blacks and Hispanics are pissed because they are suffering from higher unemployment% than the rest of the country.
20% of the total population are either unemployed, underemployed, or just quit looking.
We’re still in 2 1/2 wars.
Banks are not lending and are crying about regulations.
Small business is crying about how hard it is to get loans and what Obamacare is going to cost them.
The housing market is a fiasco.
General attitudes suck.
Top down government will never work unless us grunts are bought into the process. This President has to do a better job with the process part. Blame his handlers, don’t blame racists.

PROVE IT!

You don’t really understand when SMART people talk huh? The point is Obama is president and they’ve made it their goal to oppose anything he wants to do.

Hermain Cain is not president, he’s a candidate and also a conservative.. and has no power, and is basically relegated to a conservative side show act to show they “aren’t racist”.

Haha

Stick a tamale in it Moochelle.

Let me try and interpret this utterly inarticulate statement.

If you don’t agree with this guy, you’re a racist.  He’ll nod approvingly at you as long as you cop to that…

The two forms of slavery were almost apples and oranges they were so different, but I agree that this does remain an issue amongst some people. I don’t know if you were being sarcastic or not, but it does apply in some instances.

 You cant say because of race …The spending was only really brought to attention to the public under Obama, Under Bush the housing market was pushed by Barney and Dodd both democrats. Bush ‘s administration warned people of the housing market bust but the Dems labeled anyone who disagreed as racist, because most of the new housing and no interest loans were to minorities….

By the way…Why is there no war protest now under Obama? where is code pink? where are the signs calling for the hanging of Obama on war crimes? Obama is still bombing and killing . and more americans have died under Obama watch then Bush’s

Morgan freeman has more integrity and class in his pinky finger than you tea baggers have in your whole racist outfit. You hate mongers!

There is no question that the baggers are racist and ignorant fools.

Yes, that statement should be amended for you and Mr. Freeman.

Despite your implications about whites being historically racist, you both merely look at political opponents as being racists first and individuals second.

Can you read Hillbilly?? I said Republicons, not Independents!!

Usually racists don’t mind being called racists… right??

Lol!! What “black guy” would you choose, since there are so many in the Republicon Party?? Are you willing to tell us here you’re voting for Herman Cain?? Well then, you would be representing a fraction of your Party voting for that “black guy!!”

hmmmm… who knew that “talking about race” was tantamount to calling Obama critics racists.

What a heart warming attempt by Freeman at cohesive national dialogue….

I guess the fact that Obama hasn’t been able to address any of those issues wouldn’t have anything to do  with the Peter Principal president’s lousy poll numbers, right Cobra. How about his diminishing numbers in the cattle call black voters, that managed to give him a 95% following in the last election, even some of them are getting disgruntled. We should overlook his lousy job of managing and blow smoke up his ass. That’s that “everybody gets a trophy” progressive philosophy that leads to some folks thinking we’re all okay, we all deserve more. We’re all the best at what we do. Sorry, obama has shown that’s wrong. He’s out in “12 because he’s a lousy president who’s surrounded himself with really bad advisors, and all he’s done is campaign for 3 years, It would be nice if his last year, he acted presidential.

Racist!

Great!  I’ll take this bit of “logic” as your acknowledgment that you did indeed choose Obama over Clinton because he’s black.

Exactly, keep that up.

Just continuously bash everyone who disagrees with Obummer…

Actually, all you’ve managed to argue is that Democrats didn’t chose a candidate because of his color, but if Republicans weren’t racist THEY would.

You assume much.

Let me try and interpret this utterly inarticulate statement. 

If you don’t agree with this guy you’re a racist.  He’ll nod approvingly as long as you cop to that.

I’m still in love you, Pablo.

I didn’t vote last election… but you seemed to snake away from what I asked!! Don’t worry you don’t have to answer… I already know your reasons!!

It’s Freeman that is irrational by blaming it on racism.  Obama is an arrogant twerp with a great big chip on his shoulder.  Perhaps Freeman should be sending Obama a message to cool it, he is supposed to be president of everyone, not just the special interests he blatantly favors.

The fact that Blacks have allowed themselves to be cheaply purchased into a new form of govt dependence and slavery speaks more about them than it does about Republicans.

Well, if anyone would know it would be a member of the party of Slavery, Jim Crow, Dred Scot, KKK, separate but equal, segregation in the govt & military, standing in the schoolhouse door, lynching, etc.   Yeah, the legacy of the Dems.  Everything that the left complains about in treatment of blacks was actually perpetrated by Dems.

Sorry, Leedog, I left out “internment camps for people who look different.”

You are on oxygen.

It’s not inarticulate. You just fail at reading comprehension. I don’t know why I’m doing this, because my post is RIGHT ABOVE yours, but here is a quote from my post:

“Now while I think they are scumbags and don’t agree with them, I do appreciate their honest manner in that they didn’t try to cling to plausible deniability in the midst of their racist commentary while espousing racist sentiment through a thin veil.”

Nowhere in my post does it say if you don’t agree with me you are a racist. What it does say in my post, for those who know how to read, is that I think the honest racists are “scumbags” and that I “Don’t agree” with what they said. I hope this remedial reading lesson helped.

Are you high?? Democrats choose candidates based on who they like… not their skin color which was proven in 2008!! Obama could have been purple in color and still would have gotten the vote, because he connected with Democrats AND Independents!! Unlike you, I was living in this country and remember what happened!!

Just to remind you, it’s your Party that comes up with picture like this… not mine!!

http://wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/obama-racist-latest.jpg

 Well, of course you know who I’ll vote for in the primary!

I don’t, but YOU do!   

Being the prescient sort that you are, you know that I WRONGLY won’t vote for Caine because he’s a black guy, just as you know you know that Democrats RIGHTLY didn’t vote for Obama because he’s a black guy.

With “insight” like yours, who needs racism…

How many times do you think Tip O’Neal voted for Reagan, by gosh he must have voted for him.  Reagan was villified by the press and democrats throughout both terms.

By the time the first black president was running against Bush 41, the democrats were withholding highway funding to damage the economy and talking about it in committee meetings on CSPAN, remember that?  They wanted Bush to be a one-term president and did every thing in their power to make it happen.

Wow. The problem is worse than I thought. Not only do you have no clue as to what I posted, but you seem to have no clue as to what you post, as you already posted this above your repeat post which came 27 minutes later. Maybe you just can’t comprehend anything unless you read it twice, so I will repost my reply to your original post.

It’s not inarticulate. You just fail at reading comprehension. I don’t know why I’m doing this, because my post is RIGHT ABOVE yours, but here is a quote from my post:

I see what you’re saying… Democrats tricked African-Americans to become members of the Democratic Party!! You can also go back to the Founding Fathers and their slaves!! But it seems that African- American hold it against Republicons, especially in the South, for trying to block Civil Rights in this country!!

You can say what you want, but history tells another tale… one not in your favor!!

Forgot this one too… I bet this is one of you favorites!!

That’s what I said.  You’re arguing that Republicans SHOULD do what Democrats  would NEVER do.

It makes no more sense regardless of how many times you restate it.

(and no It wasn’t the RNC who came up with that picture, any more than it was the DNC who hacked Palin’s email account or burned down her church.)

I certainly don’t mind when douche leftists call me racist, like I said, it means they’ve lost the argument. As for your first grade comment, I would say, “grow up”, but I’m guessing that that’s never going to happen. Lefties are notorious for being extremely childish, from their stupid insults to following a guy with a bullhorn chanting weird shit.

It’s the ECONOMY, stupid.  That’s all that matters.  The One is done.  Truman was 60 years ago, different times.  Won’t work and you also can’t fix stupid…

Walsh claimed President Obama had supporters because of his race. Before I break the dynamics of this conversation down for you even further, you need to better your reading comprehension, as you demonstrated you have none when you replied to my post above. You should really try to handle one post at a time. You can’t handle more.

I’ve seen very little racism from the extreme right.  Sure, they latch onto issues like birth certificates, but George W. Bush had a bunch of people complaining he was not legitimately elected.  Now the Democrat complains because others are calling him an illegitimate holder of the office.  That doesn’t seem like racism to me.

It just doesn’t get any more racist than expecting people, as a bloc and because of the color of their skin, to conform to a particular political philosophy. You are one serious asshole.

I belonged to a national service fraternity, that also has many females in it, in college. Which means that I voluntarily wished to give of my time to local and regional causes.

I also have a masters degree.

And I also believe in the tea party movement….as a whole. Not the hierarchy part.

Looks like every Bush “Chimpy” photoshop of that era.

Just who here is  irrationally blaming YOU (or even the DNC) for all of those, Einstein?

Really?? You’re a racist?? Let me ask you something, why do you hate African-Americans?? What did they do to you??

This is why I don’t like Obama.

Lol!! You ARE high, aren’t you!!

Now I’ve heard everything, can’t make this stuff up.

Bad as his national polling is, it’s worse than that, he’s falling behind in the battle ground states and that’s what elects a president.

 Not that you guys really know that they’re “baggers”…right?…

I mean you’re perfectly willing to call anyone a racist for merely disagreeing with you on the issue.

Weighty and thoughtful dudes that you are…

No one is blaming me… I’m a Democrat, who is above that Bullsh*t!! Unlike this one by a KNOWN Republicon…

Cecelia, once again you demonstrate your ignorance. As I said before, go back to the first post of mine that you responded to, which you clearly failed to comprehend. There are people on this site who hold different views than me. At some point I’ve probably held a different view from everyone here. The thing is, unlike you, many of them have adequate reading comprehension skills. Get one of them to tutor you. Then you can adequately comprehend what is being said and offer intelligent commentary (hopefully). After that you can move on to the next post you responded to, and eventually this one. Baby steps Cecelia.

It took a lot of white people to elect Nobama.and it was  only because he is black. He had/has no qualifications, never led or ran anything. Chose to not vote 130+ times while in the state legislature not wanting to show  where he stood on anything. So unamerican that he thought there were 57 states. Socialism has never worked anywhere and is a huge failure here.
Demos should never have paid taxes to the uneducated to have and maintain millions of babies just to make more demos, largely tax users or in ‘retirement village’ prisons.

It completely went over your head Cecelia. I even gave you a hint when I used the Caps Lock. Wow.

African-Americans can CHOOSE what Party they want to be affiliated with… its just the majority of them want nothing to do with the Republicon Party… and you know it!! If you have any doubts, go ask them and I’m sure they will tell you why they can’t stand Republicons!!

“in 99.9999999999999999999% its BS, just like this racist nonsense,”

Your homework assignment is to read that again. Hopefully something will stick this time.

Well great…., then you can  blame yourself for the Bush-Chimpy and Bush-Hitler ones that were on Moveon.org (a known liberal organization).

For Morgan’s sake, quit defending him…  Morgan may cynically call Obama critics racists but even he doesn’t deserve THAT…

One thing I can’t understand is how conservatives gleefully, nonsensically and frequently compare the President to a “street hustler”, a “pimp”, a “thug”, a “lazy black man” and constantly use sexually aggressive language such as the President is “shoving it down our throats” or “I’m not gonna just bend over and grab my ankles” and on and on. It is hard to imagine that they can also claim (with a straight face) to be unaware of the racism and fear that drips from nearly everything they say about him. It might be harder to believe them if their words remotely matched reality in the least bit.

John Cusack, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Matt Damon, Wil Smith, George Clooney, Bruce Springsteen…These week we add two more to the list of entertainers I have no respect for and will not spend my hard earned money on. Tony Bennett and Morgan Freeman

Still not letting up on the first grade comments? You’re like the idiot at the four way stop, you know, the guy who’s trying to direct traffic, and not once even realizes that he’s the one everyone else thinks is a douche. Yer a funny guy, you don’t even realize when you’ve been outwitted, just keep coming back for more. :)

Deregulation got us into this mess. Don’t forget.

There will always be folks that will push for deregulation on any excuse. I admit it is pretty bold to do it in this environment.  I guess they can count on Fox “News” and other gullible folks to carry their water no matter what.

I haven’t ignored them. Something you have yet to realize is that you don’t have to respond to everything. Often times a person will prove your point for you, and at that time you can highlight it.

Maybe Harry Belafonte could open for them…

This picture is better….

Pointing out a few anecdotes about Tea Partiers who supposedly aren’t racist, does not invalidate the Freeman’s claim that race is an issue with many Tea Partiers.

Pffft, you wish.  If you are a shrinkl; someone needs to contact Angie’s List, that analysis is worse than someone tracking red paint all over the floor.  ABO…..2012.

Leedog:  So, in your world, a higher percentage of Republicans than Dems voting for civil rights laws is tantamount to Republican obstruction.  And during Eishenhower’s attempts to institute civil rights laws which were prevented by LBJ, that too is Repub obstruction.  And the vile and sad history of Dem governor’s instituting things like Jim Crow, “white’s only”, dogs and firehoses on blacks, standing in the schoolhouse doorways, founding the KKK, those are all examples of Repub obstruction to civil rights?   Why don’t you try to do a little reading about history before you open your gob and make a fool of yourself.  Oh, and trying to bring the Founders into this, in no way exonerates the legacy of Dem oppression.  What the Dems did was to lie about the perpetrators of racism, and purchase black people’s loyalty thru govt giveaways.   If it were not for Dems, there would never have even been a need for civil rights laws.  So, stay true to the party of racism, it suits you well.

If Hillary were president they would be calling anyone that wanted her out a misogynist.  Democrats have an ancient habit of not being able to take responsibility for their failure.  It always have been blame, blame, blame. 

Have we not just gone through the blame game just about every single day since Obama was sworn in twice?

Blah blah blah. You just repeat what you hear on conservative talk shows and read on conservative blogs every day. Think for yourself, man.

When has a party ever put that singular goal ahead of – oh I don’t know – governing – maybe?

There´s no doubt that the resistance and hatred against of Obama is partly motivated by racism. Does that make any critic of Obama a racist? Def not.

It´s just a  powerful motivator for the folks who see in Obama a Marxist, Socialist, Nazi from Kenya who will steal everything from them in the darkness of the night.. And that´s racist. It´s notable that the racism since the fiasco of the purely racist birth certificate propaganda isn´t tolerable anymore  is better hidden.  Doesn´t mean that Rush or Beck aren´t transmitting racist messages all the time.

So, I dont think Freeman is right about this. The GOP has other reasons to oppose Obama, but part of their  voters are racists. Not all of them, just take a look at some comments here or at FoxNation. You wont have to search long for racist comments.

Everyone needs a “one of my best friends is colored” And that includes teabaggers and racists.

Come on!!I ”If it were not for Dems, there would never have even been a need for civil rights laws.” I guess you would like to go back to the days when schools were segregated, white/black bathrooms, white only restaurants… I guess you would prefer Rosa Parks still sitting on the back of the bus?? Why don’t you go look up the history in the South in the 60′s and explain why you want to go back to those days!!

University of Alabama didn’t want African-Americans to play football for the team in the 60′s… is that how you want things to go back to??

You are in denial, but I don’t blame you… If I was a Republicon, I would be embarrassed to!! 

Is that the best you have?? Lol!! Compared to the Republicon racist pictures, those are nothing in comparison!!

Plus, you forgot to show the video of McCain and Graham trying to sell weapons to Qaddafi just 3 years ago!!

How about instead of trying to snake your way out of the question, you answer it??

Unlike you, I can admit Democrats have made mistakes in the past and at times treated former President Bush unfairly!! But I can guarantee you would never have the class to do same thing about your Republicon friends!!

Pays  well.  Got him a life time job as an unqualified affirmative action nominee and now has direct access to 2 of the richest mega-BILLIONAIRES in the country.   He got to go down in the history books as a king-maker. Got him a smart wife with direct contacts with 2 of the richest mega-BILLIONAIRES in the country.

Hell of a good gig!

‘…Racist black idiot Freeman.’

Your ignorant stupidity is impressive.

You’re an inelegant boar who presumes that either I’ve got white guilt or I’m a black racist.

There are many coloursand cultures in America, but you see only two colours, so you’re incapable seeing beyond your blinkers.

Congratulations on joining the glowing parade of stupidity. Nobody here will be particularly surprised with clearly your limited capabilities.

I was going to warn you but I deleted it, heh.

Anyway, this is all reminding me of when the msm would recycle stories in the beginning of the War on Terror.  We would be busy debating the new items the MSM would put out and shortly realize, “hey, this happened four months ago,”  Nothing had changed, the newsie powers that be just wanted to throw out a bit of aggravation and make sure somethings remained etched in minds.

Back in 2008, the Daily Caller broke the Journolist scandal, unfortunately the MSM doesn’t feel the need to remind us of that tawdry mess, pretty sure they want that long forgotten.  This thread and some posters brings it all back for me:

“…take one of them….who cares-and call them racists.  Ask:  why do they have such a deep-seated problem with a black president who unites the country?  What lurks behind those problems?  This makes “them” sputter with rage, which in turn leads to overreaction and self-destruction.”

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703724104575379200412040286.html

Evil stuff, eh?  So, I’m turning it right back on you, I believe this garbage is being recycled, perhaps they think this has all been forgotten, it has not been.

The Uncle Ruckus character from “The Boondocks” gets his name as a derivative of Amos Rucker, one of the most famous Black Civil War soldiers–of the Confederacy. 

 Are you saying that today’s African-Americans should celebrate and applaud the actions of Amos Rucker and other Blacks who fought for the South?

Don’t just throw up a link. If anything give a summary of what is in the link, and then post a link. Too many links get posted around here as if we’re expected to everyones favorite partisan site. For all I know that link is to something to do with that “Santorum” google search I’ve managed to avoid so far. I really don’t need a link unless I press you for it. Just say why you don’t like the President, if you don’t like him. I acknowledge that you could have reasons for not liking him that have nothing to do with race. At the same time I acknowledge what Freeman is saying about others having a racial component to their dislike.

I apologize if it seemed like I was making the link thing specific to you. It’s not just you, but you were the one who put up a link for me to go to.

Oh yeah, we all grow up somewhere and to add some intrigue to your contribution.  It pleases me to inform you that others who have also grown up in a socialist country have been busy sharing completely opposite opinions of yours.

There was Max from Germany, settled in Kansas after he became a citizen, very intelligent articulate man.  Then there was a little Czeck guy that personally knew VaClav Havel and wonder of wonders, he wound up living in the very same subdivision as my half Czeck granddaughter’s in-laws.  Both of these gentlemen feared what they saw coming for this great nation.  Then there have been many that I did not get as close to and many whose contributions I had the pleasure of reading across the web, complete strangers with a story to tell of their homeland that did not see what’s happening here…your way.

Hmmm, the internet, just got to love it, puts us all so close at times.

Of course his numbers are diminishing from it’s peak. Does that mean Black voters are going to flock to Rick “Secession is an option” Perry or Mitt “Blacks can go to heaven since 1978″ Romney?

 Hell, I’ll get people in my neighborhood fired up about 2012 by linking them to this blog, and showing them what their White Conservatives countrymen and women REALLY think about them under the cover  of internet anonymity.

 But hey, conscious African-Americans know all about that reality anyway. We aren’t fooled by you folks one bit.

–Cobra

Racist. It’s merely deflection at the lowest common denomenator. When you disagree with Obama’s POLICY then you are a racist. If you believe this horse crap, please come see me because I have some very valuable Ocean front property in Kansas that I’m willing to sell very, very cheap.

Worse than those tea party people.

Condoleeza Rice was just sent to the back of the bus by Dick Cheney.  There’s no crying in Presidential Politics. Second, she supports Affirmative Action, which is off script from the GOP.

Could you imagine her on that debate stage where audience members applaud executions, boo gay soldiers on active duty and cheer for letting uninsured cancer patients die?

Really?

–Cobra

Carville was a strategist at the time, unlike Mitch McConnell, U.S. Senator… Mitch actually has some power to block the President’s agenda to look like he’s failing!! Which of course, is Mitch’s main goal in life!!

Maybe Morgan should come to a Tea-Party assembly and judge for himself how much racism there is before running his ignorant mouth.

How about explaining why Obimbo is a socialist!

First, are you comparing an African country to the United States?? Any citizen can have the potential to be President here… it’s not the same over there!! Which African country follows the U.S. Constitution??

Second, I personally wouldn’t want ANY President to fail… it huts all of us!! Plus, if Obama lied us into a War like Bush, I’m sure the numbers for Obama would be the same has Bush received!!

Plus, it’s o.k. for you to link an article from ‘NewsBusters’, but if I even mention the words ‘MediaMatters’, you would have a sh*t fit!!

Drinking x 7!!  =)

So all the people that voted for Obama the first time that won’t vote for him again are racist and ignorant fools as well?

Absolutely spot on. The Affordable Care Act is basically Bob Dole’s alternative to Hillary Care and  a1st Cousin of Romney Care.  The Stimulus plan was loaded with tax cuts. The Afghan War was escalated, and the war on terror was intensified. More illegal aliens have been deported under Obama than Bush, and here’s one for the ages:

So…..how is a group made up mainly of people who want the government to be FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE be racist?

How is asking the government to be fiscally responsible be racist?

Unless those who DON’T WON’T our country to do well are using racism as a smoke screen and idiots are believing it.

So using that logic….what happened to all those ANTI-WAR protests under Bush?

Morgan makes incredibly ignorant remarks and you suck it up as though it’s Gospel. Morgan isn’t right on any level! The Tea-Party is about returning the power back to the people, and the states and getting this socialist garbage president out of our pockets.
I’m damned proud to be a member of the Tea-Party and it’s focus on shoving the bottom-feeding Liberal Obmacons out of power!  

And Morgan joins the long list of ignorant Black sheeple who would rather believe the Progressive crap their being spoon fed, rather than attend a Tea-Party event and find out for themselves.  

And Morgan joins the long list of ignorant Black sheeple who would rather believe the Progressive crap their being spoon fed, rather than attend a Tea-Party event and find out for themselves.  

You thought that up all by yourself? Wow, you must be tired. It’s hard to fit that much BS in one paragraph but hey, you did it….congrats….

On the other hand, Liberal events usually end up in riots and damage. Pretty much sums up the ideological difference.

Is racism a factor in the Black Caucus?

Actually Stony, you lost this argument the moment you replied to me with baseless assumptions of who I am. You’ve been basing your rants on ignorant assumptions you’ve made about someone you don’t know. It must break your heart to know that the world is more diverse than your narrow mind can perceive.

Those terms were used long before Obama, are used across the board and not just by conservatives. 

Example #1.  Shoving it down our throats:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/03/10/844812/-Remember-when-the-Iraq-War-was-Shoved-down-our-throats

Example #2.  bend over……was once a military term used for recruits on shot day, some terms eventually get co-opted but, here you go, it was used long before Obama

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1266256&mesg_id=1266665

a thug is usually used to describe aggressive unionistas, pushy street people, etc.

I haven’t seen Obama referred to as a pimp or lazy black man, I’ve seen him being referred to as simply lazy. 

Example #3,  Steet hustlers can be black or white or black and white:
http://www.dailydawdle.com/2011/05/kitteh-is-ready-for-street-hustlers.html

“racism and fear drips from nearly everything they say about him”

I think it’s about time you take off the drama queen crown.  You people are getting completely carried away with this nonsense and are reminding me of the Alaskan nutcases that scour the net looking for threads about Sarah Palin. 

You haven’t made your case, this is nothing but rehashed, unfounded racist accusations meant to demean and divide us.  You participate in this slander, you take responsibility for the divide.  It’s ugly and you are part of it.

Freeman’s accusation isn’t valid and you opinion is just that, an opinion.

Leedog:  apparently you are too utterly stupid to comprehend what I actually said, and decided to “Iinvent” a position I never held and never articulated.   I said that if not for the RACIST DEMS there would never have been a NEED for civil rights laws.   See there?  I said it again.   The Dems are the party of racism.   By the way, the Republican party was formed to end slavery.  Your party was up to its neck to perpetuate slavery.  Yet you, being a full on racist yourself, has the brass to accuse others of racism.

The problem isn’t that I don’t comprehend what Cecilia is saying. Trust me. It’s the other way around.
I don’t know if Cecilia is a little old lady, or even a lady at all. You never know around here. Assumptions can prove false. I don’t care if it’s a little old lady or Chuck Norris, the point still stands. At least I’m not the one who feels like Cecelia needs my protection. Don’t project your issues on me Rio.

Since you’ve already donned your cape to play super hero, could you be a good caped crusader and help Cecelia with that whole reading comprehension thing, so that Cecilia can learn to respond to what is ACTUALLY in my posts?

You’re comment is as racist as they come.

Similarly, democrats hate Herman Cain because demncrats are racists. Hey Morgan, friend to the black man: how’s your white girlfriend? You know–the one you got in a car crash with while your wife was at home?  Give her my best.

Maybe you can explain why black people are only allowed to think like a Democrat slave. You lemmings are pathetic.

Thomas is a hell of a lot more qualified than that last dude Obama put on the court. Saying Obama and qualified in the same sentence makes me giggle. Community organizer! Heh.

Everyone does? Racists need friends they secretly hate?

Your a sick piece of shit, you know that? Cain talks the talk and walks the walk. He understands our problems and he knows how to go about fixing them.

We don’t need your plastic Messiah, we need a manager who knows how to run an organization. Barcky O’Bumblefuck can barely get out of his own way.

Where in my post did I say that you DIID say “we have not talked about race”? Pay attention yourself.

Again, your platitudes don’t make sense: ” this country has never seriously discussed and dealt with the ramifications of _____ and where to go from there.” … fill in the blank (racism, hate, bigotry, etc.).

How does a “country” talk about someone’s feeling or insensitivity in this sense? Be for real. These topics are in the news or in someone’s conversation everyday. However, you can’t legislate love or make somebody love you. If YOU want to talk about these things, what’s stopping you? Maybe the Congressional “Black” Caucus or the NAACP is a good place to start.

I just saw him on this Piers Morgan guys show and he’s still running his racist line.  We didn’t want Jimma Carter for a second term either. It doesn’t matter what color the President is, if he’s killing America he’s got to go.

Hey, maybe you could make this your first class: http://tinyurl.com/2af35ba

You have impeccable taste.

Typical highly intellectual by a dumbass teabagger.

Where’d you get that idea?

Were you living under a rock from 2000-2008?

I used to have great respect for this guy. It’s obvious he’s just another race-baiter. I hate to see this. I will never watch another movie of his. So sad.

Condoleezza Rice can handle Dick Cheney and she did; surprise you?  If so, why?  During the second term it was Cheney sitting in the back of the bus. 

As far as political office, she was begged to run but she is taking a different direction on that outstanding career path she is on.  I believe we will be hearing great things about her that will surprise and delight. 

I get a kick out of people sitting on the outside attempting to analyze the Republican party, they always fail.  It’s a big tent with lots going on behind the scenes, you don’t understand it and form your own uneducated opinions based on a few crackpots democrats rapidly morph into huge numbers without caring if it’s the truth.  That’s your party, I know it, it was my party for many years until it finally embarrassed me enough to leave it after  I started paying attention to what they were doing. 

One more person on the left damning an entire group with an unsubstantiated broad smear (“they’re ALL a bunch of…” ), one more example revealing who the real bigots are.   

You heard the man.  For the modern leftist, the rationality is clear – to prove that they’re not racist, a political party is required now to not try and unseat their political opponents if that opponent happens to be black.

Brilliant!

Is it possible to be bigoted and prejudiced against another group of people besides African-Americans?

Felix you replied to my post, about the discussion of racism, questioning when we have not talked about race. That wasn’t my position. The point of my question to you was to keep you honest, instead of trying to imply I made a point I did not.

This country has not discussed and dealt with the ramifications, plain and simple. Here’s some things we have discussed and tried to move forward from: 9/11, The Iraq War, our treatment of war veterans, Japanese American internment, The Great Depression, the last recession. That’s just to name a few. You can try to play like we don’t have “national conversations” but we do. I’m not asking for people to go around hugging or for the legislation of love. What I’m asking is that people stop having this knee jerk reaction where they try to shut down anyone who brings up the impact of race and racism, pretending that it doesn’t exist, especially if they are more than willing to acknowledge it’s existance when someone they agree with makes the claim.

You need to ask the Republicons here that!!

I don’t know why I bother, but you are an absolute Know-Nothing. The Republican Party of Lincoln has nothing to do with the Republican party of today. Lincoln would be a far out Liberal today. A tiny bit of history will show you that while many liberal Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Acts, many more northern, midwestern and western Democrats pushed for this legislation. A few years later nearly all the southern Democrats had become Republicans. One of the many problems with rightwingers is your belief in bad propaganda and your insistance on perpetuating BS. Won’t you ever learn? 

Your statement about the street hustler. Don’t be offended. We have two vastly different images of a street hustler. I envy your more innocent perception.

More importantly, do you have a point?

So it isn’t valid because you say so. I disagree with you. Who really cares?

It says “page not found”. Impressive.

No, I was mocking you about O’Neal and Reagan.

The second paragraph was about Bush 41, during his time in office the Speaker was Tom Foley.  It was Foley’s committee chairs that were messing around with the highway funds during televised committee meetings on CSPAN, I watched it all. 

When my husband came home from work we watched them again, he was as embarrassed by our party’s behavior as I was and we continued watching CSPAN, watched everything that was aired having to do with Congress.  We even saw the big Rio do Janeiro lie, we couldn’t believe they were behaving like children in the US Congress.  Shortly after that we left the party.

Three of the biggest offenders in the Senate were Sasser, I think he was from Tennessee, Sarbanes, MD and Reigle, MI.  The three stooges, imo.

Ganymede, sell that garbage to someone as ignorant as you are.  Just what “Southern Dems” outside of Strom were elected as Repubs?   All those governors were DEMS.  It may be inconvenient, but your party is the party of racism, not mine.   All those horrible things that the left likes to beat the Repubs over the head with?   They were Dems ideas, perpetrated by Dems.   One incontrovertible fact is that a higher percentage of Repubs voted for the Civil Rights Act than did Dems.  The Dems get credit because of the leftist media, and because LBJ, who stopped civil rights legislation under Ike, did nothing to help under JFK, was Pres. Sorry that you, just like Obama, are unable to accept responsibility, but the evil that was halted by the Civil Rights Act, was the exclusive property of the Dems.   They even recently had a KKK member as a senior senator, Byrd.  Sorry that the truth is inconvenient, but that’s the way it is.

Look at all the Hollywood maggots coming out, putting down their Lattes longs enough to say how ‘in favor’ of higher taxes they are, and how ‘racist’ anyone who DARES disagree with OBAMO is.

Hollwood Leftists are in a panic…and I LOVE it!

DIM LIBS swear they love female candidates and favor women’s rights…till they get to the ballot box.

Unfortunately, another good Actor I no longer respect.  

You see, I am civilized human being, I do not kill or maim those I dislike or whose ideology I despise.  Rather,  I follow a libertarian approach, I chastise and refuse to patronize those who offend me.

Add Freeman to the list, that grows longer daily!

She doesn’t need my help and don’t know if she’s online. 

Maybe, it is we on the Right:  ”damning an entire group with a SUBSTANTIATED broad smear?”

Meaning, everyone in Hollywood are Leftists!  LOL

Purveyor

Since Morgan is from Clarksdale Mississippi . (Which is where My daddy lived and died . )
He will always think white people are racist . 
I like the Tea Party , And I like Cain . SO?

How many voting booths do you manage to squeeze into or hover over to collect ALL that information?  Just got you some meaningless snark going on there, Cobra? 

BTW, ever been to the Republicans for Obama website?  Did I just finally find some Republican liars for you?

http://www.republicansforobama.org/

Maybe you should explain Bush and all the republicans who voted for his “SOCIALIST” Medicare D drug bill.

It’s like Mr Obama stated America did not just happen to become the greatest nation on earth by happenstance, The role of government is just that to govern. I have to agree with Mr Freeman, the gridlock in washington is caused by republicans who would rather see the country go into default than have the president succeed in any way. Unfortunately the demographics are changing and racism is at an all time low in the real world, and the possiblity of another person of color or a woman getting elected is great. American can’t afford another four years of xtreme partisan politics.

Last “Dude”?  He hasn’t put any “Dudes” on the supreme court. 

Morgan Freeman: Now he’s gonna do it – Obama is going to punch them in the nose … metaphorically!

Which of course is going to work, because the Tea Party doesn’t get metaphors; they only get tropes, and memes – they’re still working their way out of the primal ooze up to similes, for crying out loud.

But not ol’ BO, nope: he’s gonna float like an allegory and sting like a metronym !

Look out Morgan!
America is becoming even more racist!

this week just 36% approve of the way Obama is handing his job overall, the lowest rating ever in the two and a half years of his Presidency.

Let’s face it, he’s probably at the point in his doddery, boring-ass life now where he actually believes he and Tim Robbins escaped from Shawshank.

Get the black man out of office? I didn’t want him in the office in the first place. Had nothing to do with this race, I didn’t want Hillary or John Edwards in there either.

chrisallenrich,

I doubt they care what you think.

Sorry to break it to you.

Tea Baggers hate themselves. They like to project.

Sad, really.

Class is an alien concept to the tea baggers, unless you belong to their “klan”.

Don’t light a match!

from Wikipedia regarding the relationship between Reagan and Tip O’Neill 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_O%27Neill#O.27Neill_at_odds_with_President_Ronald_Reagan

You went to that same high school, so I guess you’re a racist.

For some reason I can’t reply to Cobra.
He says how when “those Blacks” veer off script, then all of a sudden conservatives have no use for them. Well, duh!  Why would conservatives support someone when they are saying non-conservative things?  That just goes to show it’s about ideas and values and not about race.  

Meanwhile, the Congressional Black Caucus asks black people if it’s ok to trash Obama on jobs.  They use kid gloves on Obama because he’s black.  Liberals can’t do anything without bringing up race in some form or another.  …who are the racists again?  

I guess Bill Clinton and a bipartisan Congress shouldn’t have repealed Glass-Steagall.  

Too bad then, to make it worse, twice as many Democrats as Republicans voted to bail out big banks and rich guys like Warren Buffet.  

That’s right, for all you who forgot… it was Bush and Democrats who bailed out rich guys and big banks.

The Tea Party was indeed in existence under Bush.  Type Tea Party 2007 into Youtube search and see what videos come up.  Don’t be surprised when you see a lot of Ron Paul.  

…which also is evidence for the Ron Paul haters who try to claim the Tea Party started in 2009.  Wrong!  Ron Paul supporters started the Tea Party.  It is unfortunate it’s strayed a bit from what it originally was and now is trying to be taken over by the religious right and neocons.

Everyone on here can argue all day about the race card but in the end Obama is still a crappy president and most Americans agree. (racist or not)!

Which is true.  Heck, even Gene Simmons said he voted for Obama because he’s black.

My in-laws grew up in communist Russia, and they can’t believe how Americans have allowed the country to become so socialist.

Yeah, the Tea Party that loves Allen West and would gladly elect Herman Cain President right now if they could are a bunch of racists.  durrrr.

“I mean come on!! Look at the history of the Republicon Party and how they done so much for minorities!!”

Wow.  Read a history book.  The Republican Party has done FAR more for minorities than Democrats, the party of slavery, of the KKK, of opposing civil rights… and now today of always always always bringing race into everything so they can separate people into groups instead of seeing them as individuals.  

Always good to have an actor to tell people who are not racist that they are racists .

What makes him so crappy?

The ignorance is blazing.  The desire to have him be a one term president is achingly simple.  If you like his policies, you re-elect him.  If you don’t like it and want something different, ‘make  him a one term president’.

Carter?  One term president.   Bush Sr?  One term president?  Did voting in someone else other than them have anything to do with ‘racisim’?  Nope. 

Obama’s ethnicity doesn’t make him special.  No one is guaranteed a second term. 

I guess that makes former president Bill Clinton a racist.

Each and everyday the “NEW” Republican/Tea Party show Americans just how far they will sink to destroy the U.S.A.Try watching the debates to see the crop of their best they have to offer.Very sad how far the party has fallen.

“Unlike you, I can admit Democrats have made mistakes in the past and at
times treated former President Bush unfairly!! But I can guarantee you
would never have the class to do same thing about your Republicon
friends!!”

You don’t have to admit “Democrats have made mistakes”.  That’s such a given for any political party or group in general that to demand that you cop to it, would be an irrational one. 

I simply argued that every president is treated outrageously by someone at some time or another, in response to your linking all Obama critics to racist pictures.

 I’d never ask YOU to account for every person who has been unfair or ugly to Pres. Bush.  I’d NEVER presume you to bear that responsibility in the slightest, simply because you might not have supported Bush.

It’s time you grew the hell up.

Look, under that rock,paulo, it’s the kkk,  they’re following you. Whitey says stuff, I just wanna puke. Dude, are you kidding. You are pulling these phrases out of yonder arse, Your paranoic statements and a reparation mentality has you on tilt. keep diggin for proof that the 53% of americans that voted for this moron, only to realize that the peter principle president ain’t got it, have turned on him for being a lousy president, not a lousy black president.

 No. When you characterize someone (as you did) after what they’ve just written belies your statements, you’ve ignored what they’ve written.

AND you’ve proved THEIR point.

You meant you  honkey’s , right cobra. By the way, black voters aren’t gonna reelect this president, he can’t get much more than the 96% he got the first time. it’s the white independents that will make him a one termer. And not because he’s black, but because he sucks as a president. If campainging was leading, he’s the best. But he doesn’t have time to lead, he’s always out campaigning and blaming, the mark of a great president.

Well, Censure as difficult it is to understand your….eh…complex… “argument”… that Obama critics are racist and that any statement to the contrary is tantamount to denying that racism exists at all ( let alone that there are racists who dislike the president because of his skin color), I have still…somehow… managed to hear this simplistic crap from you loud and clear.

It’s not that I don’t “comprehend” you, it’s that I think you have the perceptiveness and analytical skills of a Shih Tzu

How is it not racist to label a whole group of people racist based on nothing but the color of their skin? That’s about as racist as you can get. It’s sad to see a man I thought was wise, stoop to such disgusting levels. 

I always try to catch michelle, i suspect that’s why a few of you target her with insults.  

people with disabilities would be OFFENDED if someone called you that.  Because it insults good people with disabilities… 

people with disabilities may have challenges, but you’re just an  a-hole..

Now Morgan Freeman. First Janeane Garofalo suggests that you should think a
certain way based on the color of your skin — and the Tea Party is racist? …

Why do celebrities feel a need to weigh into political discourse…does attaining acting skill also endow unquestionable political wisdom and knowledge to the actor?  I respect Mr Freeman’s screen work, but I don’t subscribe to his interpretation of the Tea Party’s agenda. I’m also tired of people who want to make everything about race. The only people talking about race when it comes to the tea party are those who want to scare others away from the tea party by labeling it such.

BTW:  During the 2008 Dem primaries, I actually believed President Obama was the stronger of the two final candidates, based on what he had to say and the conviction he presented while saying it.  He is a brilliant campaigner, and knows how to reach people’s emotional triggers and dreams.

His record since getting into office has been nothing short of scary…he ignores the will of the people that elected him, ramrods legislation through without allowing people to know what’s in it before making it law (including lawmakers), spends money like it’s going out of style in the middle of the worst economy since the great depression, and his arrogance is unmatched (he’s said many times he sees the legislative branch as a hinderance to progress…and how many Americans have had fewer vacations over a lifetime than this president and his family have enjoyed over his first three years?  How can a president who cares about his nation ignore the economy to the extent this man has…and alienated every voter segment out there (even black voters) in the process?

Race is a motivator for getting this man out of office?  It’s time for the blacks to figure out who is really the racists in modern day america…it starts with a mirror, Mr Freeman.

go back into your wormhole, president freeman…  it was under your administration’s watch that millions perished from the deep impact of the wolf-biederman comet…  therefore, you sir, are worse than hitler…  

Finally…I would vote for a black (or hispanic, or oriental, etc) candidate, if I believed in their message and desire to make our nation a better place while keeping fidelity to the principles that made it great in the first place.  

Race matters a lot less than understanding what a candidate intends to do once in office.  President Obama was brilliant in offering “hope and change” in 2008, as it tapped into an undercurrent felt by many Americans.  It is my sincere hope that one of the lessons from the 2008 campaign is that we need to demand definitions of these short slogans…because the “change” that was delivered is certainly not something most Americans believe in…and “hope” has pretty much evaporated under this President’s poor stewardship.

I’m an asshole who made you cry like a baby…get it straight, dummy.

The Palin family does have alot of Challengeds, MENTALLY CHALLENGEDS.

How disappointing.  Morgan Freeman is obviously a hater.  In his actual speech he appears uneducated and right off the street.

This kind of hatred will come back to haunt our nation.  Have you been to DC since Obama has been in power.  If you’re white in DC these days, it’s payback time.  People who used to be kind are now extraordinarily rude.  I believe that Freeman’s attitude is pervasive.

When Obama is voted out, be prepared.  Our nation’s capital will likely burn.

Now it can be said – Morgan Freeman is a Wormhole.

Well Morgan, when creeps like you loudly scream racism for any critisism whatsoever of your Obama god.  Rest assured, you are ruining the chances of another black president for the next 50 years.

Who in their right mind would want to elect another untouchable where even the slightest negative word about them gets you accused of racism.

Freeman is no more than a Plantation house boy.

Holder’s punks are gutless, they always just burn down their own rat holes.  To venture rioting and burning outside their safe zones would mean annilation of the thugs.

I think Mr Freeman needs to get off his sailboat and familiarize himself with conservatives such as…Condoleeza Rice,Herman Cain and Alan West..just to name a few. Our great Republican Pres Ronald Reagan also was responsible for Dr Kings B Day becoming a national holiday…such examples are plenty. This argument that conservatives are racist is so tired!

Did you say Liberia? that is not a democratic nation.
In any case Morgan F is correct. I give you this view from Canada, the land where we voted Kiefer Sutherlands Grandfather ( T. C. Douglas ) the greatest Canadian.
I suggest you google Tommy Douglas black and white cats tale.
You Americans deserve what you get.
For the right wing evangalists as you sow so shall you reap.

Damn, and I really used to like Morgan Freeman. Well, I still think he’s a gifted actor, but he’s obviously not a great person. First, the whole thing with him having an incestuous relationship with his granddaughter or whatever the hell it was. Now this. And he’s wrong. I don’t dislike Obama due to his race. I dislike him due to his beliefs. Actually, Herman Cain would get my vote today if he were running for President, and he has a lot more African-American blood in him than Obama does.

Great news…Old Lefty Morgan Freeman has been humping his step Granddaughter and is to marry his knocked up Step Granddaughter…heh.   Seems his divorce was kept very quiet and sealed in court papers….but it got out..   Nasty stuff.

http://www.yourtango.com/201082539/morgan-freeman-free-marry-step-granddaughter

If you want to see racism, look at Barak Obama’s black supporters:

Unhappy members of the Congressional Black Caucus “probably would be
marching on the White House” if Obama were not president, according to
CBC Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.).

“If [former President]
Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this
problem, we probably would be marching on the White House,” Cleaver
told “The Miami Herald” in comments published Sunday.
“There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to
do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.”

Gutfeld, is that you?

Seems old Morgan has been humping his step granddaughter and is getting a divorce to marry her.  Quite the fellow.

http://www.yourtango.com/201082539/morgan-freeman-free-marry-step-granddaughter

See how smart he is here…he is humping his step grandaughter….gets divorce and  keeps it under the rug in the sealed court papers.   Good ole Morgan

Long ago I decided not to put credence in much of anything said by these people; or respect, for that matter over things not related to their craft.  They’re to entertain, not inform, and their cultured ability is the power to emote, not deliberate.  Further, entertainment shows’ increasingly prevalent habit of asking Hollywood types’ – those that hail from a culture well known to enforce stringently a singular political viewpoint – their take on politics is asking that person merely to reinforce a societal meme that everyone of ‘fame’ is against conservatism; the better to influence politically those in our society that are seekers after celebrity.  So I hold responsible more the people with the microphone than I do the idiot answering the question.  Such shows could just as well make a habit of asking fashion models what they think of the latest scientific advancements in genetic engineering.

Why does racist white america get so defensive when u get slapped in the face with the truth?? This isnt 1964 anymore, your racist ways are obvious but you get your panties in a bundle when the tryth is spoken. No other prez in modern times has dealt with such opposition. Embrace your racist ways, you’ll feel liberated! Stop being AFRAID!!

Backpeddln whities are insulted! How dare a blackie challenge my authority! Just be happy being a racist,,,stormfront needs more members!

Brrroke Insane Obama?

Where is the racism?

He has to go because He has left this country BRRROKE
He has let the asylum loose by repealing DADT… He is INSANE
and he wants to continue to drive planes into the economy by raising taxes and spending more… He is OSAMA… I mean OBAMA the terrorist.

Now tell me which one of these critiques has to do with his race… he is Insane that is why he is getting the pink slip in 2012.

Give it up Freeman. Go get a new deck of those race cards you have used up your original 52. Iknowthe republicans want to regain the oval office how racist of them.

Wonder which side of the family the freckles came from?

 What was the name of the Bill that repealed Glass-Steagall?

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.

Sen. Phil Gramm (R, Texas), Rep. Jim Leach (R, Iowa), and Rep. Thomas J. Bliley, Jr. (R, Virginia), the co-sponsors of the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act.

Just helping flesh out your little narrative.

–Cobra

Yeah, Morgan Freeman says a lotta things.

He also DOES a lotta things, like fucking his granddaughter. Creep.

 Right….because in January 2011, when Bush took office, the country had a BUDGET SURPLUS, ZERO WARS and Black Unemployment under 8%. 
 
  Make your argument that Republican leadership, like that under Bush, which turned a budget surplus into an exploding deficit, two wars and Black Unemployment in the double digits is the answer for America in 2012.

 ”Begged to run” my ass.  From the Conservative Heritage Times:

 Which is down from the 43% that voted for him in 2008.  A majority of Whites NEVER supported Obama in the first place.

FACT.

I used to like watching films in which Morgan Freeman acted.  No more.  Why don’t actors stick to their trade and keep the heck out of politics?  Every last one of them are a bunch of idiots.  Morgan Freeman is a racist’s racist.  From a yellow man.

Uh-huh…that’s why there are female senators and governors.

–Cobra

Exactly right, you are an asshole, no one could argue with that.

Not usually a fan of Wiki, but there are a few sourced interesting points about the way the Gramm-Leach-Billey Act wound it’s way through Congress.

See:

Legislative History, Remaining Restrictions and Criticism/Defense…..or read the whole thing, I did.

Interesting e-mail exchange between this blogger and Factcheck.org:

http://quaap.com/D/clinton-surplus-factcheck

So when Conservatives want to eliminate regulations so that corporations can pollute the air, poison the water and wreck the environment…is that “individualism” or “collectivism?”

 When Conservatives dictate what kind of sex one can have and with whom, and who people can marry or not, is that “individualism” or “collectivism?”

 When Conservatives cheer for corporate tax subsidies, is that “individualism” or “collectivism?”

–Cobra

Of course it is Morgan. Just because you say it is.

“TMP”

He is like the Oprahs etal who look for racism anywhere they can finagle a possible ocurrance to buttress their mentia. It is in the minds and an obsession of many in the black community, somewhat understandable, but mostly not.. When Oprah is not allowed special after hours access to a store (no one else is) she immediately assumes it is racially related. They look for it, just like Morgan Freeman. As long as there are Sharptons, Jacksons and Farrakhans spouting their racial bias using it as an excuse, there will never be a final calm and the blame will never stop..

While some black Africans sold out others into slavery, the majority were hauled to this continent by white slavers who captured them and brought them to this continent under horrific conditions.

You obviously wouldn’t recognize intelligence if it was slapping you in the face. You demonstrate your shortcomings by the language you choose to use.

Yeah- like I’m going to take the National Enquirers word on this.

Why do you think you need to post this twice? Again- the so-called story comes from the National Enquirer. Not quite ready to take it as gospel truth from them.

What is so stupid about so many of the posters is the fact that taxes are lower than they have ever been before- including under Bush- and yet we have all those who proudly proclaim their membership in an organization funded by some of the richest (inherited wealth) men who want to make your lives even worse because they surely do not value working people. And to name a group “taxed enough already” when the taxes are the lowest ever just demonstrates a lack of brain power somewhere in that mix. Check it out- the Koch brothers income is higher than ever since this president has been in office and yet they have divested their companies of even more American workers. They have consistently lowered their American workforce over the years. And they support such things as removing labor laws covering children so they can make working slaves out of even the youngest workers. I’m sure you all have some teens you are ready to put out into the workforce so they can be exploited don’t you?

Another Hollytard thinking people care about what they have to say!  Stick to acting, that is the only thing you have going for you, and keep your mouth shut about politics, Morgan!  We hate Obama’s agenda and policies, which are killing America, and that makes us Racist?  What a small mind you have, Morgan!

Mo’ F’man forgot that the Prez is a half-white mulatto. It also seemingly doesn’t occur to him that the Tea Party could dislike the guy for his policies rather than his race–just as one might admire MF’s screen presence while rejecting his politics.

I’m not in favor of censorship. Where did I say I was?

I didn’t say he doesn’t have the RIGHT to make an ass of himself, I just wished that he wouldn’t. It ruins my enjoyment of his films to know that he thinks I am a racist just because I disagree with Obama’s politics. Even though he is not that happy with Obama now, either…. 

And I made the decision to no longer hand over my money to someone who says those things. That’s how it works. but it bums me out because I think I have seen about every one of his movies. But..ya know, call me and my friends racist, and I have the right to not give him my money. 

And I do have issue with his lying. When did anyone say, “get this black man out of there”? Did Democrats make Bush Sr. a one termer? Didn’t they do all they could to make Bush Jr. a one termer? Didn’t Reps do all they could to make Clinton a one termer, and to impeach him? 

“Screw the country; We’re going to do…what ever we can to get this black man out of here.” 

This especially bugs after he stated a year or so ago that people need to quit focusing on skin color – he does the very same thing here, claiming people only oppose Obama because he is black.

How many ppl voted For Obama because he was Black?
why if you don’t like his policies your a racist.
I dont like his any thing the man stands for. I believe [[; should have the right to succeed of fail on there own. and the Government should stay out of it.
MLK stated” judge A man by the content of his character not by the color of his skin.” how many ppl are giving hime a pass because of the color of his skin instead of looking at teh job he has done or teh ppl he calls friend of mentor,
He wants to fundlemently chnge the USA. that is a un qualitified statment. What does he want to change in to. o me it Looks like he want to be Russia.or more the USSR  if you think that is a good idea then study some of there history. and see how hope and change effected them.

Did you see all the pics of Bush? no  one can claim the high ground on this.

 I have been to 4 -TParty rallies in my state and the largest attach against Obama, personally, were for the costs of his  vacations , a matter I consider of no consequence. Second to that, was his refusal to allow 72 hours for the viewing and debate of the TARP Bill and  O Bama Care.How racist is that.  IF there is one incident of racism at a T-rally, It will be played ad infinitum .

Cecelia, I only wish you had the perceptiveness and analytical skills of a Shih Tzu. There would be more potential to work with if you did. You lack the ability to comprehend what someone is arguing. The only thing you understand is how to create a straw man argument that you can rail against.

Fight against your obvious limitations, as best you can, and try to follow along as best you can, you ignoramus.
Chris said it’s “discouraging to see how the black community continues to look at whites as racist first, individuals second.”
I sarcastically pointed out the absurdity of that claim by responding, “Yes, that has clearly been the history in this country. The problem is the black community not looking at whites as people. SMH.”
You then take the opportunity to erroneously put forth that my position is that ANYONE disagreeing with my political stance is a racist. “Yes, that statement should be amended for you and Mr. Freeman.Despite your implications about whites being historically racist, you both merely look at political opponents as being racists first and individuals second.” 

It takes a deluded mind to come to read that exchange and come to the conclusion that my stance is anyone who doesn’t share my politics is racist. As for my “implications” I am not lambasting all whites, but it takes little more than the ability to read the constitution, and a basic understanding of what a fraction is, to understand why Chris’ comment is laughable. We don’t even need to go into the rest of American history beyond that. The constitution is sufficient to validate my point. Of course, I don’t actually expect YOU, Cecilia, to understand what I’m talking about in this paragraph. That would require reading comprehension skills, which is why I prefer the Shih Tzu over you.      

yes, houseboy, it’s me!…  who gave you permission to go online?…  how did you escape your binding?…  if you’re brave enough to be there when i get home, be advised:  no more safe words…

liberals can’t be bothered with actual racists incidents…  the state
of race relations in this country justifies constantly accusing the
right of racism…  there’s no time for an intellectually honest
discussion of race relations with little more than a year left until the
next election…  crying racism is much more efficient…    

I will hide in a better place this time!  And, master, I will hear you too.  I know you wear those soft shoes, but that is the only thing that is soft about you. 

I will fight you this time, but only if you find me you hard-hearted right-wing libertarian in a suit with stylish, but oh so inappropriate shoes! 

I have destroyed all of your hard drives and have taken all the stings out of your other soft shoes too. 

No,no, don’t look under the sink because I’m not there! 

I have also told the police about your strange side-kick from that late-night show you really tape at 6:30; they know he sells strange things that you hide in your shoes that you say are there only to make you appear taller. 

Uncle Ruckus?  LOL!!!

 Oh…so the ONLY options for African-Americans are the progressive movement or the Tea Party?

  Why do you limit Blacks to Two options?

There were people saying “we’ll never see a Black President in our lifetime” as late as 2008.

 What happened?

Looks like I struck a nerve there.

I think we can agree that deregulation is conservative policy. It failed. Shame on Democrats by being convinced to support such chicanery.

“usually”. Really? Lol. Get a clue, bud.

Rio, I often point out this difference. Some economists think it is appropriate to count the social security debt and some don’t. Both positions are defensible.  If I ever mention the surplus, I usually include the “non-social security” qualifier. I think that is the most honest way to describe it.

Your link does not show any context of Carville’s conversation. That should set off alarm bells.

It pains me to see Morgan Freeman make this comment; one would think that wanting to get rid of a President who is not doing a good job is American. By almost any measure, president Obama is speeding up the process started decades ago when the constitution became under attack. He was and is not up to the task, and his resume supports it; so because he IS black it must be a “racist thing” and not an incompetent one. This from a man who told Mike Wallace on 60 minutes that he prefered not being called a black man and that he would not call Wallace a white man. Great idea Morgan just be called by your name and leave color out of it, perfect! Except now black is what you call the President there by making a racist accusation out of thin air.

So much anger here, do you have proof of your accusations? Can you say without a doubt that you know for a fact Republicans hate blacks who are not far right? You must mean those leftests who call any black who thinks for themselves and has conservative views, uncle toms and oreos!
Give me solid proof or your no better than anyone else who lables others they don’t, like with hatred.

There you go….you lemmings can’t help yourself. Thanks for not disappointing.  Bigot.

Concider This! Morgan Freeman is Black and was rised in the Southeast United States. He could tell you folks first hand about Racism and Racists. I know this President Barack Obama has been Disrespected by many White members of Congress since taking office. Shoust and signs during his joint speechs in Congress. You folks can call it whatever you want and do. As for myself and Mr. Freeman we call them as we see them.

Some of these responses and comments are the proof of Tea Movement Bias, if Obama is taken out of their conversation they have nothing to say or worth hearing. Obama is president because Rich White Men Screwed this country. He was elected by the voter and not appointed by the Supreme Court.

Well that’s just the prism that Mr. Freeman sees life through. Then again, anyone who doesn’t see it that way is denounced as a racist. Less reliable of a tactic to shut critics up though, as time goes on…
