Radical-left actor Ed Asner was blunt with Paul Bond of The Hollywood Reporter about how celebrities won’t be mobilizing against military actions launched by Barack Obama: "A lot of people don't want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama," he said.

It's better to be Anti-American than Anti-Black? Sure looks that way in Hollywood.

This is just another version of the view that any opposition to anything that Obama does is racist. The sad thing is that that propaganda works for a sizable segment of the population.

that’s why the dems ran Obama in the first place, so that policies wouldn’t be challenged. they got a twofer. whites won’t disagree with Obama just for the reason asner said, and blacks won’t oppose because they figure he wouldn’t do anything that’s not in their best interest.

The summer tv series, “Under the Dome”, is a good description of the current state of affairs in liberal conclaves.

Hollywood, Washington DC, and New York have become such PC cocoons that the residents no longer have contact with reality. They travel merrily through their fantasy world, dragging the rest of us along for the ride.

Unfortunately, there’s a steep drop-off dead ahead and the drivers are accelerating.

A symbolic strike on Syria is a stupid idea, but it's a black man's stupid idea so they won't say anything. Even by liberal standards . . .

So holding the “Black Guy” to different standards than one holds the non-black is somehow fair and equitable and not anti-black?

Asner et al are supremely racist!

Why, what matters all those little brown people in the ME, Christians, Jews and Muslims alike who will be served like manure on toast, roasted by flames, as long as one doesn’t natter or appear anti-black by criticizing the incompetent cretin who proposed WAR.

Bunch of hypocrites.

The Left was all over Bush during Iraq and Afghanistan. Why doesn't our wonderful press try to get answers from Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Cindy Sheehan,etc on why they don't vocalize their opposition to this invasion?

I long for the days when Hollywood supported traditional, conservative values.

Doesn’t it make you wonder how such people deal with black people on a daily basis? Do they EVER disagree with them about anything? Argue about anything? Or do they nod and smile and say ‘anything you want’ to their ‘friends’ too in every day life? If so we are talking about self-conditioning and total submission to people based on skin color.
Attention-all thugs in L.A. area- walk up to Asner and other celebrities and demand their cars and money. They should hand it over with a smile. You can’t be wrong, ever, and they don’t want to appear ‘anti black’ by saying no.
