Morgan Freeman: Tea Party is racist

Interesting picture from the article... a very nice, casual pic of Freeman and a rather angry-looking pic of Cain. Coincidental? Maybe... but I'm sure they had plenty of other options for pictures of Cain that would have more closely resembled that of Freeman.

Freeman: Your party is racist.

Cain: No it isn't.






Clearly, a lot more has been brought to the table with Cain's rebuttal.

just once, when the left accuses the right of racism, I'd like to see some proof. Not LG-style proof where the accuser has to play some pretty impressive verbal and semantic gymnastics, but actual, concrete proof.

For me, anytime someone plays the racist card in a political debate I immediately declare that person the loser. If real racism is involved, we all know it, you don't have to tell us. I am part Cherokee. My closest friend is chinese. I don't give a crap either way. I am not responsible for what happened in the past, I don't hold anyone living responsible for what happened in the past. In the present, I treat everyone as individuals. I can't stand most people. I am an equal opportunity disliker. I can't stand partyline democrats or partyline republicans. I can be, and I am, friends with people in both camps. One of my friends from work that I play basketball with is a diehard liberal. He and I go and play basketball down at the old armory and we are usually the only pale faces in the crowd. We spend hours just me, him and a gym full of black guys. At first they looked at us funny, until the first time we owned the court for 2 straight hours because no one could beat us. After that, we were accepted. Am I rambling? Yup. My point is, race is only relevant if people make it relevant. Otherwise, people are just people and most of them suck.

FTR, I never said the TP or the right are racist. Dems, Libertarians, TPers, and Reps all have bigots within their parties. It's just that it's easier to pick on the party that is branded (by the MSM) with making life easier for rich, white men.

Obama is no better than Bush, I can't stand either one of them. Sometimes, my people's pride can get in the way of common sense. I understand, but hate when the race card get's pulled

Bingo.

It's something you learn as you go. I know I had a reality check on just how "free of bigotry" I was when I worked a gratuity based job, for instance. Racism is such a tiny facet of prejudice. We can't expect ourselves to be perfect; only for our rationality to overtake our preconceived notions of the world as well as the folks who reside in it.

I'm pretty much the same way with Nazi/fascist. How often do you hear those terms used in a debate where there's any real historical/definitional accuracy involved? They're easy perjoratives to throw out that are understood to be negative even by people that flunked all their history classes.

It's just how many people "debate" these days.

Can you name even one of the outspoken racist members
of the Tea party or quote one racist statement they have
made??

The only thing racist in the equation is Freeman's
statement.

I've always had great respect, admiration even for
Morgan Freeman, no more, he is just one more
Hollyweird airhead with an idiotic agenda to me now.

This should be a poll.

No need. Unless of course you think it's pure coincidence this group popped up when a brown man was running for president, and they were nowhere to be found when the white good ole boys were waging trillion dollar wars.

I'll let you figure it out.

Was suggesting you make a poll of the top 25 most racist members.

On the other hand, you just revealed how absolutely asinine one person can be.

Thats the reason the TP is so appealing.

Of course pitch out the UE rate, general economy, and massive debit (which he basically lit a tril. on fire an watched it burn) that BO has piled up in just 3 years and all you have is a brown man that is disliked because he is brown.

Impressive deductive skills. Did you know roosters cause the sun to rise?

I might agree with a lot of what the TP stands for...but will never go to rallies or join the party - because people involved with politics make me ill.

makes sense. I've never gone to a political rally or donated to a candidate. Don't trust a one of them but some I distrust less...

:crazy:

I'm not even going to try to discern this horrible analogy.

Can you just attempt to explain why the tea party became uber popular when a brown man was running for president and not when bush was killing the country and waging trillion dollar wars?
