If Donald Trump wins the presidency this November it appears documentary filmmaker Ken Burns might need to be fitted out for a straitjacket. If you have any doubt of this, then take a look below at the unhinged rant Burns performed during his commencement speech at Stanford University yesterday. Rather than ditching outright partisanship for the day out of respect for the victims of the tragic terrorist attack in Orlando, Burns decided to stick with his prepared speech to declare his crazed obsession about Trump.
The self-proclaimed "yellow dog Democrat" just couldn't give politics a rest yesterday of all days. The speech was also especially egregious in view of the fact that Burns is largely dependent on taxpayer based funding from PBS and he just insulted at least half the people paying for his career. Here is Burns, looking at times like he is about to leap out of his thin skin, as he delivers a political campaign speech disguised as commencement address:

Contrary to popular opinion, Ken Burns did not produce, direct, and act in the Civil War.
I watched a little of the video, this guy is full of it. He perfectly described Mrs. Clinton, then inserted the name “Trump”.
The response to his speech was underwhelming to the students assembled; with the exception of the BernOuts who applauded...
I.T. Burns, and his ilk, are the remnants of the social class that once owned slave. Yellow Dog Democrats, have had to modify their stance on may fronts to maintain their standing. They have their own vernacular and a “refined” southern accent, to set themselves apart from the run of the mill southerner.
Interesting how all of a sudden qualifications are an issue
The founding fathers disagree. One must be 35 years of age and a natural born citizen of the US
Other than that have at it
Ken, stick with video. You’re not a political geru
#15 Plus he has a funny haircut.
I tried to watch some of his shows but they are boring and he always always babbles on about race.
Hm...looks like he dies his hair, no?
I have refused for years to watch his stuff - do not want him to earn a penny from me...
Regarding “qualifications” — Trump is vastly more qualified than many past candidates if relevant executive, leadership, and managerial skills and experiences are included.
Obama, for example was devoid of significant qualifications, having been an UN-accomplished state senator and then a 4-year US senator with exactly zero achievements before his election.
Many other candidates and elected US presidents had pretty insignificant qualifications compared to Trump. Only by ruling out non-political experiences and inflating insignificant time-serving political experiences (ala Shrillary) can Trump come out badly in such comparisons overall.
I have never liked this precious twigboy with his four-year-old’s hairstyle. Now that you’re using Nice’n’Easy to cover the gray, it’s really time to grow up, Kenny. The hatred, self-righteousness and conceited superiority here is disgusting. You can tell a demogogue by his use of the words, “always”, “never”, “nothing”, “only”, etc throughout this screed to characterize the person he despises. I was glad to hear boos among the applause.
I consider trumps biggest asset to be that he is not a career politician
The founders went home and lived under the laws when they were done.
I was just going to post this article, thanks for doing it. This piece of rat filth Ken Burns made a fictitious movie about the Central park 5 rapists making them look innocent when in fact they are guilty as hell. It was one of the reasons the brain dead wackos running New York city released them from prison and gave them $50 million dollars. I talked to the cop who headed that investigation, he said 2 of them admitted to it before he even asked them one question, AND their parents were WITH them in the interrogation room, PLUS they bragged about it to their friends! This is Ken Burns for you. Super liberal who helps rapists get away with rape which is probably why he supports Hillary Clinton. She knows all about that kind of stuff. F this guy Ken Burns, he is a dirtbag, and God forbid he should say anything about Hillary who is the first Presidential nominee to be under a CRIMINAL federal investigation. Hey Democrats: THAT is the best you can do? Run a potential felon for President? And you have the gall to bash Trump?
I wonder if he is a tranny, his middle name is Lauren and no joke, I saw a photo of him a few years ago where he had breasts! It was obvious as hell, I don’t know what was going on there, if he is a woman posing as a man or a man transitioning to a woman? Either way the guy/girl is a piece of sht. He helped 5 guilty rapists get away with rape in New York city which is probably why he relates to Hillary Clinton. Liberals seem to have this issue screaming about equal rights for women, but when women get raped they support the rapist. Like this Stanford rapist Brock Turner. The judge gives him 6 months in prison. Meanwhile the Judge is a super liberal, the guys resume reads like the cliched lib resume, went to UC Berkeley, grew up in Berkeley. So you know he is one of them who screams about womens equality yet here he is giving a slap on the wrist to a rapist.
