Fmr. WWE wrestler Lanny Poffo on his friendship with Hulk Hogan and living in the shadow of his brother 'Macho Man' Randy Savage

Lanny says hypocrisy is the problem and 6 years President Barrack Hussein Obama goes on the Tonight Show and makes fun of disabled people at the Special Olympics and he gets away with it. Why does he get away with it? That's worse than racism because those kids have the decks stacked against them every day of their lives. Then the press says relax and take a joke. Poffo says I'm not going to relax and not going to take a joke, not about the Special Olympics (which he and his brother and the WWE did charity work for.)

I remember Leaping Lanny from Memphis wrestling in the 80s

Tired of that “homophobe” nonsense. I think they are rather pathetic. What a miserable lifestyle.

[GeronL]

No, of course not.

Just because he used the word while cheating on his wife and making a porn vid doesn’t make him racist.

got it.

Great role model.

HH is just another Old White Guy (OWG) being targeted for extinction.

Physically strong, masculine, independent, self-made, successful, unapologetic and unwilling to bow down along with the new “castratie” that defines a modern American male.

Even the young guys who like girls seem effeminate to me.

HH just needs to grow a set of boobs if he wants to be welcomed and appreciated in the new America, where the new motto is, “If it's Gay and it's Ghetto then it's good!”

They were already separated and getting divorced, and he wasn’t making a video.

[Morpheus2009]

Shows bad understanding of what a real phobia is.

[Blue Highway]

Not to sidetrack the discussion but the info babe interviewing him is easy on the eyes.

Since when did Fox News start hiring Maxim skin models?

“Just because he used the word while cheating on his wife and making a porn vid doesn’t make him racist.”

Neither cheating on his wife, making a porn video nor being a bad role model has anything necessarily to do with racism. Last I heard there is still some little bit of freedom of speech left that the spider monkey in the white hut hasn’t yet made illegal. I don’t particularly like Hogan, but I do like his freedom to say whatever he damn well pleases, though I may not personally like it. If it hurts or destroys his career, that’s his problem and not the concern of anyone else.

If what I say here is “racist”, please be aware that, frankly, I don’t give a damn.
