Liberal Activist Ed Asner Explains Hollywood Silence On Obama, Syria: They 'Don't Want to Feel Anti-Black

(Hollywood Reporter)

In 2003, ahead of a U.S. attack on Iraq, a robust anti-war movement in Hollywood included a TV commercial starring Martin Sheen and Sean Penn visiting Baghdad. There were online petitions signed by Ed Asner; letters to President George W. Bush pleading for peace were signed by Matt Damon, Tim Robbins, Barbra Streisand and Alec Baldwin; former M*A*S*H star Mike Farrell fronted multiple press conferences where celebrities denounced war. In interviews, Janeane Garofalo stopped identifying herself as an actor -- she preferred to be called a member of the U.S. anti-war movement.

Obviously, not feeling ‘anti-black’ trumps feeling ‘pro-America’.

Kind of demonstrates the Hollywood libs ARE racist, doesn’t it?

Yes, and that's actually what Asner is trying to say here.

Why doesn’t the media ever mention that Obama is mostly white. He was raised white, he was schooled white and his actions toward the black community have been extremely democrat party/KKK white in it’s destructiveness.

Fuck them all....it’s “hollywood” now....they have no significance, appeal, allure or anything else that the golden age of Hollywood had. In the past, you had John Wayne, the brilliant Jimmy Stewart, Bogart (and I don’t care if he was a lefty,..it’s not like it is today),...I don’t give a damn about hollywood today, and I haven’t for years. I’ve been boycotting hollywood for the longest time now, and I don’t give a damn about whatever “must see” films that have been put out in recent years. It’s all garbage, leftist propaganda crap, and miserably inferior remakes of great past films. These bastards can foam at the mouth with all the commie propaganda that they want...I know that I’m not interested, and neither should any of you Freepers either. It’s not a case of “shut up and act”,...I don’t want to see a damned thing that the sewer called hollywood regurgitates,...ever!! Don’t support the evil hollywood film industry and condemn their shit to complete irrelevance!!!

He’s not a lib, he’s a full on commie. Looking forward to his demise.

When Asner goes he's going to Red Square next to Lenin.
