MORGAN FREEMAN: ‘RACIST’ TEA PARTY DOING WHATEVER IT CAN ‘TO GET THIS BLACK MAN OUT OF HERE’
The Blaze
September 23, 2011

Quote:Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman said Tea Party Republicans are on a racially-fueled mission to get President Barack Obama out of office, in an interview with CNN set to air Friday.

Speaking with host Piers Morgan, Freeman said Obama’s election, instead of curbing racism, has “made it worse.”

“The Tea Partiers who are controlling the Republican Party…their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term,” Freeman said. “What underlines that? Screw the country, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man out of here.”

“But is that necessarily a racist thing?” Morgan pressed.

“It is a racist thing,” Freeman insisted.

I've been defending this post on another site. One of my pet peeves recently, and it's quite amazing to see some of the pee tarty fuckwit retorts to Mr. Freeman's views on this. Oddly enough, it means he is more correct than he knows.

Here is an excerpt from the comment section:

Morgan Freeman is right on the money about this. I'm not the only one to notice that there is a shrill, nasty and well monied segment of the society that holds nothing Obama could do or say would be good enough - even when what he does and says is far and away better than what so many white presidents before him did, with little to no criticism. When you keep raising the bar just out of reach because the president is Black, you are witnessing the newest incarnation of the Poll Tax.

Morgan Freeman is an ignorant fool. Can't you small minded liberals deal with the issues? Just call names, you are PATHETIC.

Matt Watt
This guy [Freeman] is a idiot. When they call Bush a rotten presiden is that rascism? These idiot liberals know nothing. Tea Party people want Obama out because HE SUCKS! He only added 5 trillion to the debt in less than three years, has the economy headed south, and is using taxpayer money for him and Michelle to vacation all over the world. If that's racism, I guess I am one. Idiot millionaire libtard. Go away and crash your car you frickin old drunk.

High school in Texas is your highest level of education. I think that says it all.

KonaKane that's racist

KonaKane
@Dan Dicpinigaitis High school is a race?

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? http://placeitonluckydan.com/2011/08/jan...ical-grit/

Because our president has all the power in the country and our congress does absolutely nothing to impede or influence the policies and laws he passes.

KonaKane
@ Kara LeeAnn - On what planet? I suggest you review the Congressional record since Obama took office. I've voted in presidential elections since 1980 and I've never seen a president shown such disrespect and obstructionism from Congress.


FWIW, my comments got 6 likes so far, and a bagger's got 2. So who knows, maybe the truth may be catching on.

Spitting on and verbally abusing an elected Congressman who happens to be black? Funny you never saw the TP doing that to White Congress people.

My first guess was that she is living in a trailer somewhere, but I'll go with your explanation.

Glad to see Freeman telling it like it is. From the start, teabaggers have shown themselves to be nothing but the racist and/or ignorant dregs of our society. Exhibit One is their cheering of Tom Tancredo's calling for the return of voter "literacy tests" at the first teabagger gathering. That alone should have made it political suicide to align oneself with them, but the MSM conveniently yawned.

The KKK went semi-main stream in the 1930s. They share many of the same traits with that group
