Where’s the aw jeez guy?
Hey Hollywood- stop focusing on his black and focus on his stupid
God forbid!
They are all simply clueless.
The latest dribble from the brain dead, word readers.

This is “the soft prejudice of low expectations”
If he was a white guy they’d be all over him for this
But I am sure the thousands of dead people to come from this will be happy to know Ed Asner feels good about letting the darkie get away with something he’d be howling like crazy about otherwise
This senile old fart still able to speak ... only the good die young.
Their entire lives are a big fat lie.
Pray for America to Wake Up
....and what the hell does ‘being black’ have to do with any of it in the first place?
Well, Farrell, what are you waiting for ? Organize the effort !
Also, said Asner, unsuccessful efforts to prevent war in Iraq led to complacency among left-wing activists.
“We had a million people in the streets, for Christ’s sake, protesting Iraq, which was about as illegal as you could find. Did it matter? Is George Bush being tried in the high courts of justice?” asks Asner. “We’ve been so God-damned stung in this country by false wars, repeatedly, that, how can you believe in any just war with the history we have had?”
Another reason some Hollywood progressives have been reticent to speak out against war in Syria, according to Asner, is fear of being called racist.
“A lot of people don’t want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama,” he said.
Asner said Hollywood activists should read a Huffington Post blog [12] item by Dennis Kucinich, where the former congressman lists the “Top 10 unproven claims for war against Syria.”
“Whether it’s a Republican or Democrat president, or Republican or Democrat Congress — and it doesn’t make a God-damned difference — it behooves us to get off our ass and ask these questions,” Asner said.
Farrell and Asner both say that beating the war drums on Syria is one of many mistakes Obama has made.
“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. “A lot of people have lost hope — with the betrayals, the NSA spying ... People aren’t getting active because ‘Who gives a shit?’ is essentially the bottom line.”
Adds Farrell: “I’m frankly deeply disappointed in the president’s foreign policy, war-making, his reliance on military rather then diplomatic responses, his use of drones, continued allowance of the Guantanamo prison. He’s a disappointment to me and other people I know.”
As much as Obama is loved by Hollywood power-brokers, Asner says he doesn’t fear backlash by speaking against the president.
“Hollywood can’t mobilize for that either,” he joked. “If they try to punish me, what are they gonna do? Take away my pension?”
What a bunch of traitorous wimps!
0bama is surrounded and protected by an invincible force field: his race. May we soon hear the death knell for white guilt and political correctness.
The race card is alive and well, stronger than ever. They are willing to support a war they really oppose to avoid being called racist.
