Okay, now that I’ve been able to recover from laughing. So, uncle ed, what you’re saying is that you former protesters don’t want to “feel” anti-black, does that mean that you ARE actually anti-black? Hollyweird just putting up a united front to cover their racism? These asshats are just a little full of themselves aren’t they? You just can’t make this stuff up. Truth really can be stranger than fiction.

While Asner is a certified Leftist Loon, I appreciate his honesty on this issue. Ed is absolutely correct that Obama is wildly popular among Leftists because he’s black. Leftists are so obsessed with supporting a black man and thus trying to prove that they are not racist, that they would rather side with Al Qaeda in Syria and send American men and women to war than to tell a black man “no”.

White Leftists are consumed with white guilt.

Black Leftists are consumed with black tribalism and unquestioned loyalty.

Both of these mental illnesses are why Leftists call anyone who questions Obama a racist. They are projecting their own warped worldview of being obsessed with race onto others.

Asner is correct on this matter.

The article is very anti-Obama. In his own muddled commie way, Asner is trying to do the right thing here. Asner is not defending Obama. Instead, he is taking a swipe at those celebrities who still are defending the president.

Excellent analysis on your part.

When the extreme left and the extreme right both agree that you f’d up....that’s something.

Asner is an anti-war socialist. I’m not at all surprised he’s come out against Obama on the war. Same with nutty Cindy Sheehan.

Asner has an hilariously bad one man show where he plays FDR, btw. He comes on stage in a wheelchair and a wig and pontificates for two hours.

True that. But I'm giving Asner a bit of credit here. He is doing more than coming out against the war.

He is also saying something that we on the right have known for a long time. He's saying that many leftists are supporting Obama not for policy reasons but for racial reasons.

Notice how Ed Asner avoided using the word “r——t”! Instead they are worried that they may be labeled as anti-black.

“A lot of people don’t want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama,” he said.

Interesting ‘choice’ of words....

Most would say they wouldn’t want to be ‘ACCUSED’ of being anti-black, he is saying he doesn’t want to ‘FEEL’ anti-black etc...

I can explain it with a lot fewer words: hypocrisy.

If liberals don’t like feeling anti-black, why did they conduct such a savage electronic lynching of Clarence Thomas during his Supreme-Court-nomination hearings?

And why did they stand by when the Democratic party and their liberal MSM supporters destroyed Herman Cain’s political career with unproven allegations of minor sexual harassment when their white hero, Bill Clinton, had been much more credibly accused of rape?

Liberals like Ed Asner have become so pathetic, they can’t even make up halfway decent excuses for their overwhelming hypocrisy.

Bullsh*t, chickensh*t, leftist, hollow, soulless, opportunistic, resume-enhancing, devious, lying frauds. These people have been exposed and can no longer talk about anti-war, peace, bullying or any of the rest of the b.s. they spew out of their festering yaps to make themselves look noble. Shout these idiots down and treat them like Jane Fonda for the rest of their years.

Where are all the idiots who said people had to turn in their guns so there wouldn’t be another Sandy Hook? Apparently they’re fine with continued support of the rebels (who are guilty of a lot of atrocities already) and BOzo commencing bombing the stuffings out of Syria.

I’m sorry to go off on a rant. I just can’t stand fake posers who think we’re so stupid we can be manipulated by them like children.

Asner’s analysis is too glib and fraudulent. The hollywoodenheads who opposed Iraq did it out of hatred for a republican president. Where were they for Bosnia when blowjob bill wanted Monica off the front page? Race has nothing to do with it; as liberals, the beverly hills boobs are already racists.

He feels sad he voted for Obama: "I voted for him, but I'm not proud. He hasn't thrown himself on the funeral pyre. I wanted him to sacrifice himself. Instead, he has proved himself to be a corporatist, and as long as he's a corporatist, he's not my president," Asner said.

Well, that's sort of a redeption, maybe.

People aren't getting active because 'Who gives a shit?'

Yo, Hollywood, how about the US troops who will die?
