Anti-War Relic Ed Asner Admits Race Shields Obama from Leftist Criticism

RUSH: You know, I’ve got a story here in the Stack about Hollywood leftists, led by Ed Asner and Mike Farrell. Now, they’re a couple of relics, but they are the leaders of the anti-war movement in Hollywood, and they’re still influencing young actors and actresses, and they are admitting they don’t like this at all. They don’t like this Syria business. They don’t like what’s going on in Libya. They don’t like Obama’s foreign policy at all.

But they will not go public with it, and Asner admitted why. They don’t want to be seen as “anti-black.” Bingo again. It’s the same reason the Republicans are not standing up and stopping this or opposing it. Nobody wants to be seen as anti-black, and so opposing Obama is not seen as opposing Obama. It is racism. It is perceived as being against black people. Because of the nature of this nation’s past in terms of slavery, whenever a black person reaches a position of power we’ve got to relax all the standards.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, there's a I've got a story here in
the stack. Hollywood leftists led by Ed Asner and Mike Ferrell.
Now there are a couple of relics, but they are
the leaders of the anti war movement in Hollywood, and
they're still influencing young actors and actresses. And they are
admitting they don't like this at all. They don't like

(00:21):
the seri of business, they don't like what's going on Olibya,
they don't like Obama's foreign policy at all, but they
will not go public with it. And Asna admitted why
they don't want to be seen as anti black bingo. Again,
it's the same reason the Republicans are not standing up
and stopping this or opposing it. Nobody wants to be

(00:43):
seen as anti black, and so opposing Obama is not
seen as opposing Obama. It is racism. It is perceived
as being against black people because of the nature of
this nation's past in terms of slavery. Whenever black person
reaches a position of power with got to relax all
the standards because of the soft bigotry, of low expectations,

(01:04):
because of all the sympathy, because we feel so bad
for what happened that they can't do anything wrong. We
just know we're not going to permit that. It's just
not that it would It would be so unfair, it
would be so unfair. And the first black president to
get there and then be subject to criticism, it's not fair.
It's not fair. We got a long way to go
before we level the play and field of what happened
during the days of slavery. And so even the most

(01:27):
virulent anti war protesters in Hollywood are afraid to speak
up because even more important to them than their anti
war position is their position on race. And don't doubt
that for a minute. The civil rights movement is why
Hollywood is liberal. Percent of it minimum maybe, do not

(01:53):
doubt me. The civil rights movement, the march is in
the sixties, All of that is exactly why Hollywood's liberal
and everything else. When you throw in the first African
American president, you shut him up on anything else that
they disagree with. Not even Ed Asner and Mike Fair
or anybody else out there wants to even get close

(02:16):
to being thought of as anti black. More important to
them than anything else. They could sit by and watch
Obama launch a massive attack and not say anything because
to be critical of it was to be anti black.
And that's practically a quote from Asner himself, and he

(02:41):
wasn't just talking about himself. As full quote is a
lot of people here in Hollywood, a lot of people
don't want to feel anti black by being opposed to Obama.
That's the Republican Party as well, and that's inside the
Beltway formula. They're just they're they're they're not They're not

(03:01):
going to analyze this honestly, even if they know what
it is. They're just not going to go there, folks.
Nobody's got the guts. Everybody is afraid of being called
anti black. And make no mistake, the Democrats and Obama
and his advisors know it. They love it, and they

(03:22):
use it. I would do if I were them.
