Mark Ruffalo in hulk rage at NBC, pushes petition to end ‘white conservative hiring’
The Washington Times ^ | June 13, 2017 | Douglas Ernst

Mark Ruffalo, Marvel Studio’s “Hulk,” is pushing millions of fans to pressure NBC executives to stop hiring “white conservative” talent.

Hollywood’s current “Bruce Banner” is angry that right-leaning and conservative commentators like Nicole Wallace, Hugh Hewitt, and George Will are allowed airtime on NBC and MSNBC. The actor, known for supporting the campaigns of Democrat politicians and environmental groups, is urging over 3 million Twitter followers to quash the shift by Andrew Lack, the chairman of NBC News and MSNBC.

“Sign the petition: Tell @MSNBC @NBCNews to stop the white conservative hiring spree,” Mr. Ruffalo tweeted over the weekend.

“Lack has pushed out Black and Brown talent including Melissa Harris Perry, Alex Wagner, Touré Neblett, Dorian Warren, Michael Eric Dyson, Adam Howard, Jamil Smith, Jose Diaz-Balart and Tamron Hall,” the petition states. “In fact, Lack has a history of replacing Black on-air personalities wherever he goes.7 America needs voices like these now more than ever, and we need to make it clear to Lack that we are paying attention and there will be consequences. Tell NBC executives: Stop the white conservative hiring spree at MSNBC.”(continued)

Once again, we have a leftist who is concerned about color of skin instead of content of character, competency, and talent. The irony is that they think everyone ELSE is racist.

= = = = = = = = = = =

The REAL irony or whatever we may call it is that these fools think there are CONSERVATIVES on MSNBC

A ‘good’ example of what is happening in this country is the Virginia LIB primary for GOV
One is the sitting LTGOV, an avowed Liberal and his opponent had the gonads to be seen with BO and BO (supposedly) campaigning with him.

Both admit to being Progressives and both are smarmy and both remind me of Kaine....that sleazy grin etc.

That right there defines how far left this idiot is!

NONE of the three is a Conservative. They backstab Conservatives.

Nicole is the biggest detractor Sarah Palin ever had. She claimed there was a plan not to swear-in Palin if McCain had won the presidency!

This from a white man. Hollywood should quit hiring him so that more people of color get roles. In fact he should be ashamed of himself for taking work away from women and minorities.

I would do that if I could, but it's the only cable provider in our area. We never had Comcast before moving here, and wouldn't have it now if we had a choice.

My son talked to a Verizon salesman at Walmart the other day. The salesman said to keep tweeting that we want Verizon, so that Verizon will think there is demand in our neighborhood and install cables.

Ruffalo thinks he is “of color” since he turns into a character with green skin.

This from a white man.

And one who is appropriating green culture at that. Just another Al Jolson in green-face.

It's hard to keep up with everything happening in the race for the "fakest" label or the No-Trump-Positive-None-Of-The-Time business plan.

Nevertheless, wasn't George Will a clinton shill? Why would any network that specializes in fake news not give Will a forum?

Marvel should have a clause in an actor’s contract telling them to avoid politics. The Hulk and Captain America are dead to me and others. And yet they wonder why movie attendance is down.

Sooooo, what Ruffalo and his ilk want is to expand our current day version of the old Hollywood Blacklist, the Hollywood WHITE LIST. I wonder how he would react and respond to a Conservative call to boycott all theatrical releases of movies that he and his ilk perform in? What if no Conservative bought a ticket to any of the Marvel releases? Personally there is no movie that I need to see so badly as to contribute to the wealth of those that seek to limit my and those Conservatives like myself rights to speak and be heard.

Just what is it that makes a person whose sole talent is playing at being someone else, think that they have a right to tell others how to live, think or act?

The mentally challenged Ruffalo is desperate to get into news, knows that if he says something really outrageous he is guaranteed media coverage. I had never heard of this creep.
