That’s just too bad. I liked Freedman as an actor. Why oh why must they open their mouth and ruin everything.

Looks like I’ll just have to skip ALL of hollyweird all together.

Here’s a primer for actors:

If you are a soldier, fight.

If you are a teacher, teach.

If you are a banker, bank.

If you are an actor, act.

Why do the people we pay to entertain us think they are qualified as political philosophers?

Would we let actors perform brain surgery just because they are “interested” in it? Then why do we go to actors for lectures in political science?

Another one bites the dust.....

I wish leftist actors like Morgan would just shut up and let me think well of them.

What a complete doofus. What a shame.

“Somehow the hollywood “stars” of today THINK they command all of the awe and grandeur of movie stars of times past...they don’t.”

Even when they were at their grandest, decent men didn’t bring an actress home to Mom and Dad and nice girls were strangled before they were allowed to become actresses. The rest of the country treated them as mistresses and ornaments, not people of substance and to be taken seriously.

I’d hate to think that this is an American-African thing.

Some, perhaps like Freeman’ are just so damned full of themselves that they can’t shut up and avoid pontification.

It’s like the commercial with Alec Baldwin where he is sitting in the co-pilot’s seat and begins flipping switches prior to a take-off. When the pilot begins to object, Baldwin says “It’s OK. I played a pilot.”

Don’t forget past idiotic Congressional committees that had actors and actresses appear before them to testify about some crisis in which they played a role on film!

hollyweird is hollyweird. I refuse to spend one damn penny to support these freaks.

There are some Conservatives there whom I will support. Unfortunately, they are far and few between.

Dolphins are probably one of my favorite animals, but, because of this racist coconut I won’t go see Dolphin Tale.

Also, in true liberal Hollywood fashion, the real life character that Freeman portrays in the movie is not black.

Come on, Morgan...

use that HIGH SCHOOL education to tell us all what it is when someone owns everything and you are forced to work for them, or else...

Yes, it is socialism and slavery too.

Morgan ‘Racist’ Freeman and Harrison “green-weenie” Ford both Hollywood liberals are spokesmen for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). However Freeman’s racist rant was the last straw for many AOPA members who have now declined to renew their membership due to this.

AVIATION PING

Pilot/actor Morgan Freeman is joining Harrison Ford as a spokesman for the GA Serves America campaign to educate the public and decision makers about the important role GA plays in the national economy and transportation system. AOPA recently taped a TV ad with Freeman in his hometown of Clarksdale, Miss. (birthplace of the blues). He also talked about flying with AOPA Pilot Editor in Chief Tom Haines. Watch the interview, and a behind-the-scenes look at why Freeman volunteered for GA Serves America.

Morgan Freeman. The creep who marries his step-granddaughter is giving America moral advice.

People like him overpopulate Hollywood, and if they are failing in their “mission”, that’s a postive for society.

I have seen Harrison Ford talk (without a script) too

he is barely able to form complete sentences.

Like Freeman, they cannot say anything that sounds intelligent unless it is written for them

Haha...you are referring to Sally Field, Jessica Lange, and Sissy Spacek testifying in front of congress because they starred in farming movies.

Unbelievable. Just fantastic. Who would have thought it?

PIERS MORGAN - although he didn’t nail Freeman on this BS, at least is tried to show him the light and stupidity of his stated thinking on this issue. Good for him.

Freeman seems intellectually dishonest, at best. Of course, it’s a good thing to give someone another chance to get it right, but not in the case of the job as POTUS - that could have frightening consequences.
