   Wasn't the entry point that Sean Penn, called the Tea PArty as a racist, lynch mob wanting our President to wing? Funny, I remember the anti-Presidential comments where the obvious racial remarks are shown all over the media via poster signs, and most were missed spelled! One thing I think that most Causcasian Americans fail to see or understand is that they have had this consistent "entitlement," to having the power in America to represent them for so long, that we can not precieve that their ways have been oppressive, incorrect, biased, and discriminatory. First, of all since most of Causcasian America and EU own almost 98% on the corporate businesses and financial entities in America, when someone goes against the "status quo," of making the wealthy pay more, or not own the largest percentage of all businesses, how is a minority President, who for the first time is represented in the leadership role of President, make change? Do you really think a corporation is gonna give up their

   No reason to rant & use foul language. Lets just look at the facts. Have you noticed the smaller packageing of foods. wes 14 ounces now 11. Price of gas at $3.50 a gallon and oil is down to $80.00 a barrel. Downgrading the Countrys credit.. Jobs falling, homes being forclosed, need I go on. Lets find the right person to take over and help us all even the name callers. Lets get the right person and not worry of color or sex.

   Monique and others: Criticizin the president is not racist and he is fair game. What is said about him doesn't even begin to compare with what has been said about Bush where true hatred has been shown. I am happy a Black is president. I had tears as he was elected, but he has turned out to be a very poor president. He takes no responsibility for anything. It is bad luck or Bush's problems left for him. Herman Cain is an honest man with a great management and leadership track record of success. How about Cain versus Obama. Wouldn't that be historical and, I hope, healing. Cain acknowldges his shortcomings like his lack of foreign policy experience, but Obama had the same lack when elected. Cain is refreshing. Obama is simply not a good president. Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors. He has given great enjoyment in his movies and he seems to be a wonderful man. But, his statements about the TParty are simply ignorant. He does not know what he is talking about there. Folks, go

   Yet another Hollywood ignoramus! Shame on you Morgan. You have the foot in mouth disease. Please stick to your movie making. Your racists comments are ignorant and uncalled for.

   Typical, they can't defend obama's presidency because they know he is doing a worse job than Carter ever did. So they start yelling racist because they have nothing positive to say about or for Obama. crying "racist" is SO OVER.

   While I respect Mr. Freeman as an actor, I have to disagree with his remarks about the Tea Party. The Black Panthers are racist, what are his ideas on them? Go Cain!!

   I must say, I am completely blown away! First off, Morgan Freeman ... you should be ashamed! I have always been one of your biggest fans, watched every movie, but that will change ... immediately. Do your research before you speak. You need to go to a tea party and see what they stand for before you try to play the race card. Yes, I am white. Yes, I live in Mississippi. But I was raised in Peoria Illinois so I was quite surprised when I moved to the south. I have seen my fair share of racism and certainly do not agree with it but you are way off base on this one. THE TEA PARTY HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH RACISM! No one cares what color he is ... after all, he is half white. So you can't honestly say 'black man', now can you??? Yes, we certainly want him for only ONE term, strictly because he is taking America straight to hell! Not because he is 'black' but because he wants Americans dependent on the government or doesn't have a clue how to run a country. This man i

   Have you ever been to a Tea Party event? Stop letting the media tell what's they're doing and go to an event to get the truth. The media only reports one side, to get the truth you have to investigate on your own! Stop letting people like the media tell you how to think, they're more like the KKK than anyone else in this country.

   The ignorance and stupidity of some people is stunning. The tea party main focus is for smaller government, fiscal responsibility and personal freedom. Obama has proven to be exactly the opposite of those principles.
   
   Live your lives believing in your simple minds that the tea party and Republicans are all racist. You are a bunch of ignorant fools.
   
   P.S. How do you explain Hermain Cain morons
