Morgan Freeman on Tea Party Members: RACISTS!
To say Morgan Freeman is not a fan of the Tea Party movement would be putting it mildly. In an interview on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, Freeman labels Tea Partiers radicals whose sole aim is to oust President Obama from office.
"But it's not a racist thing?" asked Morgan.
"It is a racist thing," replied Freeman.
"Their publicly stated policy is to do whatever it takes to see that Obama serves only one term. What underlies that? Screw the country," Freeman lamented.
"We're going to do whatever we can to get this black man out of here."
"We're supposed to be better than that. It shows the weak, dark underside of America," said the Oscar-winner of those "controlling the Republican Party."
There are plenty of racists out there, but the whole Tea Party? We'd be more concerned that these people think hurricanes result from God judging gays.
What do you think? Is the Tea Party racist?

At one time I thought Morgen Freeman was a human being but now I see that he is just another racist out to blame the white man for ignorance he should fit in well with CBC

I still think that some of you all are brain wash. Some of you are so far out there, it just so bad because you all are still not explaing yourself right about the republicans. Stop putting the blame on Obama just because the tea party dont want to help the man out. Like i comment b4, the republicans was planning this whole thing about not letting Obama ideals be taking at all. Because they rather see the country fall down, than to see a half black man run a country.

@itsjo, that is not why we voted Mr. Obama. Alot of black american voted for Obama simply because he is a smart man and have great ideals. We do want to see our race for once to do good in life. When we was told that, the only thing we is good at is the highest rate of crimes. Everybody voted because we was tied of all the bull. If you itsjo want to take it there about we black people voting for Obama because he is half black. Well what about the other Presidents being white for yrs? So im guessing that it cant be no other race in office but white american only. So who is the biggest racist now? Im trying to still figure out how is the republicans are helping the american, why not past the bill that president Obama been talking about for the last three yrs? Oh, the tea parties are worrie about how much money we spend. When the republicans spend most of all the money and fuck up the country for yrs. What about Mr. Bush, the republicans didnt have no problem with listen to him about dis

If Mr.Freeman wants to really look into racism, perhaps he need go no further that the POTUS, Obama. He is the most divisive, class-warfare and elitist, to Ever hold the office. He pits American against American, as he tries to manipulate his voter bases. If you
look at the 97% of blacks that voted "only because of skin color for
Obama, then just WHO IS racist here? Tea Party people came together
as a grassroots movement with NO elected officials, as they were exercising their "freedom to gather to protest an oppressive gov't, that is guaranteed under our own Constitution". They came together from ALL walks of life, -all parties, they came with their parents,
kids, Grandparents--they were ordinary people, doing an extrordinary
thing-"Expressing their mistrust of a gov't regime that was running our nation into the ground(still is). There were no "Kill anyone signs, no Nazi rhetoric, No name calling of blacks...and to Pelosi, and the black caucus saying say, is JUST A LIE, THAT

You can be conservative and not racist. You can be a member of the TEA party movement and not racist.
You cannot be Morgan Freeman and not be racist.
Make up all of the fake facts you want. The fact is that the TEA party is a HUGE number of Americans who are fundamentally concerned with the economic, social, and legal disaster that is the Obama administration.
Racism is easy, so that is the issue dujour. If Obama were white we'd be guilty of some other form of narrow-mindedness. TEA party members and conservatives, don't waste your energy defending yourself against insignificant whiners like Morgan Freeman.
As for Herman Cain; I'm not going to cast an 'apology' vote for the black guy just to placate race-baiters. Cain stands on his own merit and is on my very short list of presidential hopefuls. And if he takes office, I won't start calling liberals 'racist' every time they react to him dismantling another entitlement. Unless they're being racist.

Morgan Freeman is saying what everybody else knows. The Tea Party is racist as hell, and not just against Blacks. They also are the same people who join the militia groups, hate Latinos and migrants, Muslims and oppose mosques, yet somehow love Jews and Israel! Why love Jews and Israel- oh yeah, they're WHITE.
Basically, White Conservatives (tea baggers or not) are racist. Everyone knows it!!!

Most of you all are brain wash, it not even funny any more. I cant stand to read most of you all comments, because all of you simply do not know what your trying to explain about the republicans parties. How is it the Democrats fault? The biggest problem are the tea parties. They are a bunch of greedy azz rich people that who dont care about nobody but their self. If it is not about race, why the republicans been down grading Obama for three yrs? Every since Obama step good in the door, the republicans made sure that he was going to be a one turn president. Because they wanted the voters to believe that he wasnt doing a great job. The republicans brain wash people so that they can lie and take over seats. Republicans are trying to make democrats look like the bad guys, when the republicans had already messup the country. George Bush did it, Regan did it, and George W. Bush did it the wrost. So how is it the democrats fault again?
