Morgan Freeman rips the tea party, again

How to get actor Morgan Freeman riled up? Ask him about politics. Or, more specifically, ask him about the tea party.

In an interview with The Daily Beast published Wednesday, Freeman was asked for his thoughts on the tea party in light of the recent government shutdown.

“The lengths that people will go to to show their prejudices!” the actor replied. “You see some of these signs that say, “TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!” What the f--k is that? Whose country are you talking about?”

“They are being pushed to the side, which is a good thing for them to realize: You don’t have the power you think you have in this country,” Freeman added. “Obama was legitimately elected president. If you don’t like that, fine, either move out, or make your point and get yourself elected, but don’t tear the country apart!”

A big supporter of President Barack Obama, Freeman has sounded off about the tea party before.

During a CNN interview in 2011, the actor complained that the group “shows the weak, dark, underside of America” and accused the tea party of racist motives.

The fact Morgan Freeman is a raving racist whitey-hating foaming-at-the-mouth Communist loon is not really news.

I have enjoyed some of his acting. He has a great story telling voice.

BUT, the man is an arrogant lib and a white hating racist.

Just another ignorant racist Negro.

He should stick to reciting what other people write for him, he isn’t a bad actor when his words are written for him.

““The lengths that people will go to to show their prejudices!” the actor replied. “You see some of these signs that say, “TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!” What the f—k is that? Whose country are you talking about?””

But youre ok with leftist groups like occupy wall street use it, right Morgan?

““They are being pushed to the side, which is a good thing for them to realize: You don’t have the power you think you have in this country,” Freeman added. “Obama was legitimately elected president. If you don’t like that, fine, either move out, or make your point and get yourself elected, but don’t tear the country apart!” “

Where was this sentiment when Bush or Reagan was President?
