1st Rush, now Pat Robertson on Morgan Freeman!!!

[wndycty]

-snip-
Robertson said Limbaugh should not be criticized for saying that black Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb benefits from "social concern." Freeman - who is black - also got a slide from the media, Robertson said.

"He started off playing a chauffeur in 'Driving Miss Daisy,' and then they elevated him to head of the CIA and then they elevated him to President and in his last role they made him God," Robertson said on the "700 Club." "I just wonder, isn't Rush Limbaugh right to question the fact, is he that good an actor or not?"

[bhunt70]

1. joke right?

hahaha shit that pat robertson cracks me up.

[FullCountNotRecount]

2. My favorite Actor...White or Black

It's always nice to have something more to not like Rush and Pat about.

[number6]

4. Amen

.

[northernsoul]

11. he's definitely one of the best

more proof that Pukes have no class and no taste

[Swede]

42. My sister named my niece Morgan

she admired Mr. Freeman that much. Cool name for a niece.

[Loyal]

46. agreed

n/t

[Trajan]

59. My favorite movie since it came out ....

The Shawshank Redemption ...

Freeman is amazing, as is Tim Robbins .....

Insults from Robinson, Rush and their ilk should be worn as a badge of honor .....

How DARE these idiots presume to judge this kind of greatness, which they will NEVER understand ......

[Yavin4]

73. Freeman in "Shawshank"

His voice overs were almost like he was singing. It was that beautiful. He was brilliant in that role.

[JNelson6563]

3. I happen to think he's great

I've enjoyed him in everything I've seen him in. Funny, I can't remember enjoying one second of Rush. Ever.

Julie

[jus_the_facts]

5. fundy fruitloop bastard.....Morgan Freeman started his career....

...doing the Electric Company on PBS....looooong before he did Driving Mrs. Daisy....just because he was portrayed as a BLACK God...is his only beef...which is a more accurate portrail anyway...if MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE...bears ANY truth...but REALLY God would look like a BACTERIA/PROTOZOAN :eyes:

[blondeatlast]

10. I LOVED Easy Reader; so cool, so cool!

[watercolors]

62. Morgan Freeman is great

One of my favorites, hey, who says God 's not black , red or yellow?
Screw Pat Robbinson, he is an AAA= hole!

[playahata1]

84. And, I believe, he was nominated for an Oscar BEFORE "Driving."

He got a nomination for his role in "Street Smarts" (1987).

And he was magnificent as the alcoholic military defense lawyer in "High Crimes," with Ashley Judd.

[blondeatlast]

6. He made a great God! 'Nuff said.

[jus_the_facts]

22. I'm sure Pat thinks Geroge Burns was a much better portrayl of GOD....

:eyes:

[trogdor]

83. How could any fundy possibly object to Bruce Almighty.

Morgan Freeman dressed in white as God - awesome, but restrained. The kind of cool I always associated with God.

Jim Carrey as the guy God gives his job to for a day, only to muck it up so bad he never blames God for anything ever again.

Lessons conveyed:
1. Man isn't anywhere close to being a god.
2. Even if Man had God's power, he couldn't handle it.
3. People expect too much from God. Sometimes, God denies peoples' prayers for their own good.

Is there anything that's unorthodox about that? I fail to see it, even if that particular movie was mediocre at best.

[Julien Sorel]

7. That's complete bullshit.

Morgan didn't 'start off' in Driving Miss Daisy; he'd already had a long list of achievements by the time he made that film, including an Oscar nomination. Freeman is one of the legitimately great actors of this age -- he can play and has played diverse roles from a slave, to a pimp, to the president and played them outstandingly well.

Freeman filmography


The ignorance and bigotry of some of these clowns is astonishing.

[unblock]

8. umm, rush didn't criticize freeman

as far as i know, he only criticized mcnabb.

so robertson's saying that rush was right to question is freeman a good actor admits that what rush was really saying was that ALL blacks who ever get credit for being good or talented are actually phonies being praised simply because they're black.

in otherwords, robertson knows that rush is even more of a bigot than even we could imagine, and pat's right there with him.

the slide toward krystalnacht continues unabated....

[truthseeker1]

29. Rush is a bigot, through and through

rush quotes: (this is just incredible especially the braun thing):

As a radio talk show host, Limbaugh once said he felt guilty about telling an African American caller to “take that bone out of your nose and call me back.” He still uses the mock dialect “ax” instead of “ask” when discussing black leaders on his syndicated radio show and often plays the theme song “Movin’ On Up” from “The Jeffersons” when referring to Carol Moseley Braun, the African American former senator from Illinois who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Rush is just a pig!

[Capn Sunshine]

9. So then, is he as good as Keanu Reeves

Who as far as I can tell must have something bad on half of the Hollywood studio heads.

Talk about a white guy whose acting sucks being successful....

[northernsoul]

13. bwaahhaha!

So true!
I've always wondered what blackmail pics he's got and where he found them - doesn't quite seem bright enough to have organized a blackmail scam on his lonesome.

:evilgrin:

[MegaDeuse3080]

12. Freeman

So Robertson is criticizing him for being able to improve his acting career and make a better life for himself. go figure. Freeman started off at the bottom and has earned all the respect he gets. Unlike some people......... *

[MidwestTransplant]

14. FREE MR. CLARK!

nt

[blkgrl]

15. A "man of God" said this?

What is this world coming to?

[prolesunited]

27. Since when has Robertson

been a "man of God"?

Let us look at Matthew 7. Jesus is talking about this very same subject in the Sermon on the Mount.  This text explains what it is that is going to be so bitter.  He says, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’  And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!”  Matthew 7:21–23.

This text tells us what it is that is so bitter about the surprise. It is simply this: There are going to be many people who have been thinking, for their whole lives, that they are saved. But when Jesus actually comes, people who have thought all the time that they were saved, confident that they would be saved when Jesus comes, find out that they are not saved.

[moof]

16. Morgan Freeman isn't a deity !!!???

Oh, right, otherwise he would have an Oscar by now.

[jus_the_facts]

30. .....and James Earl Jones REALLY is Darth Vadar.....yuk yuk....

.....idiot can't distinguish between his fantasy and reality anymore...like he ever could...:puke:

[liberalmuse]

17. I remember Morgan Freeman...

on The Electric Company when I was a kid. I've always been interested in what this man is up to, since he made an impression on me at a young age. I can't believe Pat Robertson made such ignoramus remarks in order to justify Rush's racism. Freeman is an excellent actor, and his ability to continually find work probably has more to do with the depth he brings to his characters than his skin color. Ef you, Robertson, you evil, ugly, blasphemous, grinning elf.

[noiretextatique]

18. so not thinly-veiled (and racist) projection

aimed at affirmative action, just like rush's comments. oh gringo...is this sufficient "evidence" for you?

[charlie]

19. Robertson's probably been shitting his britches

for years because he saw a movie that cast a black man as God. Limbloat just gave him the safe opening he's been aching for to bring it up.

[UTUSN]

20. So Instead of Moralizing on LIMBO's Lying Life, He's a Critic of Acting?

How conveeenient that hypocritical wingnut (oxymoron) ROBERTSON takes a pass on making a morality lesson on LIMBOsevic's LYING LIFE and focuses instead on the ESPN thing, while committing his own bigotry. The scoundrels just dig themselves deeper and deeper.

[Iris]

31. No, shit. Rush is addicted to "redneck heroin" and all

Robertson can do is drag in another black man to beat?

[Eloriel]

21. What a profoundly ignorant statement

in every regard.

Not surprising, probably, but appalling nonetheless.

Eloriel

[Toby109]

23. Read between the lines

Pat Robertson does not like to see black actors portray characters in a position of power. Now chauffeur is one thing, but PRESIDENT or GOD! And you can toss in quarterback, too.

[Former Republican]

24. Freeman is a good actor...BUT...

but he keeps playing the same role: the wise old black man. It gets sort of tiresome after a while.

[charlie]

33. Well, that's Hollywood for you

I'd like to see Al Pacino get to use his prodigious chops for something other than chewing the scenery once in a while.

Freeman has a voice like a soothing warm blanket. It's no wonder he's usually cast in the role of sage or comforter.

[Iris]

34. well, he does keep playing one character over and over

but it's really the same character.

I don't care what role he plays. I think he has great presence and a lot of character (refuses to have an extremely young actress as his romantic interest in any of the movies involving the same character I mentioned above. Wish I could remember that character's name, but he's the detective in "Kiss the Girls" and 1 or 2 other movies about that detective. But Freeman says this character is not the sort of guy to get involved with someone significantly younger than he. Of course, he is being called a racist for this because the female roles in the movies I'm talking about are generally played by actresses like Ashley Judd.)


He played a flawed priest in a movie I can't remember the name of right now.

[PurityOfEssence]

35. It's the only role written for his age/sex/race

Have you ever thought of that?

If you want to see him really blow you away, rent "Street Smart" sometime; he plays a terrifying and mesmerising pimp.

[Brian Sweat]

74. I don't think it is the role. It is who Morgan Freeman is and it just come

out in most of the roles he plays. Here are some recent movies that he has made in which I don't think he has played the "wise old black man."

The Sum of All Fears
High Crimes
Along Came a Spyder
Nurse Betty
Deep Impact
Hard Rain
Amistad
Kiss the Girls
Seven
Outbreak

Frankly, I think the idea that he always plays a "wise old black man" is a little biggoted.

Do Gene Hackman and James Garner play "wise old white men?" How about Jimmy Stewart toward the end of his carreer.

[Susang]

57. Huh?

Here's his IMDB credits:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000151

Seems to me that his more recent roles have been age appropriate black men of power. He is, after all, 66 years old. If you want stereotype his performances as police officers, private detectives, presidents, god and Nelson Mandela as "wise old black men", then you might want to consider why you don't categorize Harrison Ford as playing "wise old white men" since he plays the same basic roles as Freeman.

I'm hoping that your statement comes from not being familiar with Freeman's work. Otherwise, to me, it smacks of racism.

[Spider Jerusalem]

79. Sixty-six, eh?

He doesn't MOVE like he's 66. Met him at his blues club in Clarksdale, MS back in August. He was out on the floor dancing like a man at least 20 years younger.

[FireHeart]

58. Well, he did an about face...

When he played that nutcase general in "Dreamcatcher". But hey...we can't win 'em all :)

Lousy movie--but Freeman wasn't given enough time to explain his role fully, so I guess that didn't help.

[Mairead]

61. You missed him as Azim the Moor in 'Robin Hood', then?

He played a warrior and scholar in the prime of life, a co-star role that he (imo) absolutely lit up with his presence.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

82. Didn't just light-up the screen...

he carried the whole damn pictures on his shoulders! Take Morgan out of that movie and it would have collapsed like a souffle out of the the oven.

To me, Morgan IS god -- one of my acting gods. He is simply one of the finest talents we have out there today. He is impeccable.

[Mairead]

86. I have to agree

Every time I watch that film (I bought the DVD because of his performance) I fervently wish that he had been given more scenes. 'Impeccable' is exactly the right word.

(It's rather funny...he was interviewed a year or two ago, and the interviewer remarked that a lot of women consider him not only a fine actor but very sexy, and wish he got more lead roles. He snorted in disbelief and made some remark about being in his 60s; I could only shake my head in amazement--how can someone that talented not get it?)

[girl gone mad]

25. Pat Robertson is no Morgan Freeman

If he really said that then I just have 3 words for him:

Unforgiven
Shawshank Redemption

Oh, and he was aso the only good thing about "Bonfire of the Vanities" - even Tom Hanks was uncharacteristically bad in that one.

Morgan Freeman is one of the most intelligent actors working today, more than qualified to pretend to be the head of the CIA or a silly version of god in a lighter than air comedy.

[juajen]

26. Unfuckingbelievable!

He'd better leave Morgan Freeman alone. Actually, we should probably beg that man (Freeman) to take an office, anywhere, from a governorship to a presidency. He's great. So much progress has been made in recognizing excellence, but, so far to go. It's idiots like Robertson and Limpballs who impede progress.

Edited: for spelling

[rocktivity]

28. HUH?

Who does he mean by "they"--the critics, or the movie studios who gave him the roles? Is he saying that the critics overpraise him just because he's black, which results in him getting additional roles that should have gone to "better qualified" actors? Or is he saying that even in getting movie roles, blacks should "know their place?" Does Pat that mean while it was okay for him to play a prisoner in the Shawshank Redemption, he shouldn't have gotten to play a detective in Seven? Unless I'm mistaken, he has also played a pimp and the President of the United States. I think Pat is just jealous that Freeman got to play God.


rocknation

[truthseeker1]

32. And yet he's fine with the Shrub "playing" POTUS!!

[ComerPerro]

36. Robertson is insane

And I don't mean that lightly or to be funny. He is insane. He is senile.

Have you ever seen him on the 700 Club, sitting there and spouting out insane lie after insane lie? It would be funny if it weren't so disturbing.

[Classical_Liberal]

37. Oh my god!

.

[polmaven]

63. Or maybe "Oh my Morgan"?

[JackSwift]

38. Hey, Robertson made a funny that was actually

kinda funny.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

39. Typical narcissists. Their subjective opinions on someone's ability

is something they think they can state as a FACT and people are supposed to take them seriously.

If Pat knew anything about acting, he would do a better job of pretending to be a preacher.

[Rex]

40. I'm an agnostic

but I do root for there actually being a Hell...just so Pat has someplace to go and be with likeminded people, after he croaks.

[Snellius]

41. Is it time for another Civil War?

There are people in this country living on completely different planets and one doubts how much longer they can peacefully coexist?

[leesa]

43. As usual, it doesn't make a lick of sense. They are acting roles you

raving idiot! I simply cannot understand how these people, and I use the word loosely, get to be so stupid!

[9215]

44. Remember Robertson discriminated against his black

maids, I think is was his maids. So I wouldn't put to much store in his opinion on this issue.

[Old and In the Way]

45. Pat....how are those diamond mines doing?

If the anti-Christ lives, he's on a first name basis with Pat.

[SubliminAL MessaGOREs]

47. This is just sick

How can someone say something like this? :shrug:

[Barad Simith]

48. Amenlover will love this

Oh my God. I author an anti-fundie parody hoax called Amenlover, and I'm going to let the fat bastard use this. It's too good to pass up.

[JohnKleeb]

49. Hes an actor Pat, christ

[Cocoa]

50. this is why you don't want Robertson reviewing movies

If Roger Ebert had chosen Robertson to replace Siskel, it would have been the equivalent of Rush talking about sports.

[Susang]

51. So what? He played Spidey on Electric Company!

And that was many years before Driving Miss Daisy. Robertson's just pissed that anyone would think of casting a black man as president, no matter how great the actor. And be assured, I do think Morgan Freeman is a great actor. I've been in love with him since Electric Company and have seen most of his films since then. I'm rarely disappointed in his performances.

BTW, why doesn't Robertson mention that a WHITE actor with Morgan Freeman's good looks and talent would have been cast in whatever role he damn well wanted to? Christ, look at Arnold! Look at all the other mediocre middle aged white male actors who continue to get choice roles that they are not appropriate for. What a fucking racist Robertson is! :mad:

[mac56]

76. Did he play Spidey?

I know he was Easy Reader.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

52. The funniest part of this

is that Robertson is talking as if Morgan Freeman really WAS a chauffeur who went directly to being head of the CIA.

:crazy:

But then old Pat has been a few chapters short of a Bible for many years.

[LalahLand]

54. Exactly!

Someone needs to tell this nut that the entire essence of being an actor is the ability to play any type of role. Its almost as if he's implying that affirmative action propelled Freeman forward from a chaffeur to the President. What a jackass! I wonder if his viewers caught on.

[noiretextatique]

69. a twisted and ridiculous swipe at affirmative action

in racist code language :puke: clearly freeman is "not qualified" to rise from chauffuer to the nead of the CIA :shrug: robinson thinks freeman should ALWAYS play a chauffeur...that's a more "realistic" role :puke:

[Democat]

53. Who are "they" that "elevate" Freeman?

The white slave owners in Robertson's fantasy world?

Isn't Freeman his own man?

[GoldenOldie]

55. Movie Crtic - Robertson????

Robertson can't even give an honest critique of the Bible never mind an actor or movie.

Poor lost soul is unable to defend Georgie, or Rush so he goes on the attack against Morgan. He is really getting desperate.

[Deja Q]

56. The question is, why does Rush like to target blacks?

Morgan Freeman is a decent actor, loads better than a bunch of the whitey crop. Why isn't Rush et al going after the whiteys also?

Damn straight, they're racist.

[eek]

60. "they "= code for "Jews"

because *everyone* knows who's in charge of the film industry.

:eyes:

[IggleDoer]

64. Morgan Freeman is a better actor than Pat Robertson...

... and by far a more decent human being.

[snippy]

65. The way Reich wing minds work is frightening. And disgusting.

[lancemurdoch]

66. Don't dis Easy Reader

Pat Robertson is making a mistake going after Easy Reader...

I thought Freeman was good in the Shawshank Redemption...I can't imagine who Pat Robertson would think a good actor is.

[Booberdawg]

67. OH. MY. GOD.

Staggering.

Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors ever. A couple movies I haven't seen mentioned here are Seven, and there's another one recently that I can't place right now - the word Spider in it somewhere?

75. Pat DESERTED his Platoon during Korean War

The witness is Pete McCloskey, a California Republican known for telling the truth and being an honest fellow. He RAN against a sitting-president Nixon for the GOP nomination in 1972.

The Liquor Officer,
or,
Pat Robertson
Goes to War


Summary.  Televangelist Pat Robertson, founder of the "Christian Coalition" and host of the daily "700 Club" television program, is a fraud and a liar.  And don't bother to tell me that he is forgiven and that makes it right.  Pat continues to defraud people and lie, even on his "Christian" broadcasting network.

I am a retired Army colonel.  I served 28 years in uniform, including service in Vietnam.  Many of my friends were killed or wounded in Vietnam.  There is a special bond between men who have served in combat and God save the fool who tries to pass himself off as a combat soldier when he is not.  That's exactly what Pat Robertson tried to do when he ran for President in 1986.

Quoted below is an excerpt from the book The Most Dangerous Man in America:   Pat Robertson and the Rise of the Christian Coalition, by Robert Boston (Prometheus Books, published in 1996).  In this excerpt, we learn that Robertson's claims to have served in combat in Korea are a lie -- his father, a US senator, intervened to keep him out of combat.  In fact, Pat served in the rear where he consorted with whores and made regular trips to Japan to purchase liquor for the rest of the officers in the rear, hence his title "Liquor Officer."

SNIP...

Former GOP congressman Pete McCloskey of California, who served in the same unit as Robertson, claimed that Robertson had relied on his father's influence to get him out of combat duty. Robertson was so rankled by the charge that he sued McCloskey and Representative Andy Jacobs, an Indiana Democrat who also circulated the charges, for $35 million.

McCloskey insisted that Robertson was on a ship headed for combat until his father used his influence to have him removed. According to McCloskey, Robertson later boasted that he had used his father to "get him out of combat duty."

[mandyky]

77. What a Christian thing for hin to say, eh?

NOT!!

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

78. Morgan Freeman not a good actor?

I'd pay good money to watch that man floss. Morgan Freeman is one of those "the movie can't be all that bad because he's in it" actors. Everything else about the movie may suck, but you know he's going to be good.

[Plaid Adder]

80. What a load of CRAP!

Wow, where to start?

Personally, I think the most telling thing about this is Robertson's inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality. I always kind of suspected most fundamentalists had a problem with this, but this is a beautiful supporting example. For whatever reason, Robertson is treating Freeman's movie roles as if they were real jobs, and that somehow the trajectory he outlines is synchronized with success as an actor: only highly successful actors get to play powerful roles like God or President of the US, whereas mediocre or poor actors are relegated to lower-paying 'jobs' like chauffeur.

This, of course, is in itself a serious misunderstanding of how movies work: he's assuming that a chauffeur could never be the real star of a movie, and that God could never be a walk-on. In fact, Freeman's role in *Driving Miss Daisy* was absolutely central to the film, whereas the part of God is almost always a cameo. Maybe that's what's really up Robertson's butt--the fact that most films are way more interested in lowly mortals (chauffeurs, even) than they are in God.

But then of course this really has nothing to do with acting talent (anyone can play God--Alannis Morisette has done it, for God's sake--) and everything to do with the fact that the days when black men could do nothing but drive white women around are over. In one sense only, Robertson is right that Freeman's casting in these roles is not related to talent; it's a function of social change. There have always been talented African-American actors in Hollywood; and until very recently they were simply never cast in certain roles, no matter how talented they were, because the industry assumed that audiences wouldn't accept that. Now, even though nobody will take an *actual* African-American presidential candidate seriously, we are at least open enough to the idea that we won't reject a *fictional* African-American president as a gross violation of realism. In fact, casting an African-American actor in a position like president or CIA director becomes the sign of an optimism about the future; it reassures us that racism is getting weaker instead of stronger, and that someday, maybe, we'll get to the point where we can actually *elect* someone without worrying about his ethnic identity, instead of merely *casting* him.

So, yes, the fact that Freeman has played a president and a CIA head is a sign of social change--one that Robertson is clearly uncomfortable with. But that has nothing to do with whether Freeman is a good actor or not. It simply indicates that it is now possible for an African-American actor to play as wide a variety of roles as a white actor. Certainly he's got to be at least as good as a slew of white actors who have also played presidents, CIA heads, and even God. I would pick Freeman over Charlton Heston, for instance, any day; ditto Tom "Makes My Skin Crawl" Hanks, Michael "Never Too Old To Be In Total Denial" Douglas, or Keanu "We Give Him Shades Because It Makes His Wooden Inexpressiveness Seem Mysterious Instead Of Vacuous" Reeves.

Finally, the "is he really that good an actor" argument underscores the ridiculousness of the "meritocracy" claim that underlies most anti-affirmative-action rhetoric. The argument against AA is that somehow, if we didn't have affirmative action, only the truly deserving would ever get into good colleges, get good jobs, become quarterbacks and movie stars and whatnot. Whereas, in fact, most people who are not mired in intellectual dishonesty know that there is no such thing as a meritocracy, and that power will always promote its own at the expense of everything else. I mean, George W. Bush is president of the United States. What more proof do you need that affirmative action for stupid rich white men is alive, well, and doing FAR more damage than affirmative action for African-Americans ever will?

Similarly, anyone who believes that Hollywood casting, in the absence of all this PC concern for racial equality, would be a pure and unsullied process whereby the best roles always went to those who were most talented is living in a bizarro dreamworld. In Hollywood as in the rest of this country's professions it is all about networking; it's who you know, how you play the game, and whether you can pull off the style that will mask your lack of substance.

Anyway. That's already way more of a rebuttal than that @#$! deserves; but sometimes, you know, you just get mad.

85. These bigots are unbelievable!!!!

Just when I think it can't get ANY worse, good ol' Pat comes and sets the bar higher (lower?) for Right Wing trash thinking :eyes:
Robertson should be ashamed. I hope Freeman drops kick Pat to the curb for questioning his acting roles being based on him being black.
Good god, good god...

[jonoboy]

87. how sad

can't they even let a man have talent..Freeman's such a great watchable actor.

maybe it's time they look into R.Reagan's acting career

[dsc]

88. unbeilevable

I actually had to look at the link as I thought it was the onion or something like that. If you want to see some great Morgan Freeman roles see Lean on Me (he plays Joe Clark) and Clean and Sober. Both great films.

[hexola]

89. I always thought of Morgan as...

...the black "Gene Hackman"

[RobertFrancisK]

90. I don't even get that one

Is it a joke? What's the relivance.
In any case, no one in their right mind can dispute that Freeman is one of the best actors alive. Sorry repubs, but Shawshank Redemption is a heck of a lot better than Jingle All the Way.
