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

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a I've got a story here in

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the stack. Hollywood leftists led by Ed Asner and Mike Ferrell.

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Now there are a couple of relics, but they are

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the leaders of the anti war movement in Hollywood, and

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>they're still influencing young actors and actresses. And they are

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>admitting they don't like this at all. They don't like

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the seri of business, they don't like what's going on Olibya,

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't like Obama's foreign policy at all, but they

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>will not go public with it. And Asna admitted why

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:36.919
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to be seen as anti black bingo. Again,

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.959
<v Speaker 1>it's the same reason the Republicans are not standing up

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and stopping this or opposing it. Nobody wants to be

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>seen as anti black, and so opposing Obama is not

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>seen as opposing Obama. It is racism. It is perceived

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>as being against black people because of the nature of

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>this nation's past in terms of slavery. Whenever black person

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>reaches a position of power with got to relax all

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the standards because of the soft bigotry, of low expectations,

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>because of all the sympathy, because we feel so bad

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>for what happened that they can't do anything wrong. We

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>just know we're not going to permit that. It's just

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>not that it would It would be so unfair, it

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>would be so unfair. And the first black president to

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>get there and then be subject to criticism, it's not fair.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not fair. We got a long way to go

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:24.759
<v Speaker 1>before we level the play and field of what happened

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>during the days of slavery. And so even the most

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>virulent anti war protesters in Hollywood are afraid to speak

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>up because even more important to them than their anti

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 1>war position is their position on race. And don't doubt

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that for a minute. The civil rights movement is why

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood is liberal. Percent of it minimum maybe, do not

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>doubt me. The civil rights movement, the march is in

0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the sixties, All of that is exactly why Hollywood's liberal

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and everything else. When you throw in the first African

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>American president, you shut him up on anything else that

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>they disagree with. Not even Ed Asner and Mike Fair

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>or anybody else out there wants to even get close

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to being thought of as anti black. More important to

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>them than anything else. They could sit by and watch

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Obama launch a massive attack and not say anything because

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to be critical of it was to be anti black.

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>And that's practically a quote from Asner himself, and he

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>wasn't just talking about himself. As full quote is a

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of people here in Hollywood, a lot of people

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want to feel anti black by being opposed to Obama.

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the Republican Party as well, and that's inside the

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Beltway formula. They're just they're they're they're not They're not

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>going to analyze this honestly, even if they know what

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.519
<v Speaker 1>it is. They're just not going to go there, folks.

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's got the guts. Everybody is afraid of being called

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>anti black. And make no mistake, the Democrats and Obama

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>and his advisors know it. They love it, and they

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>use it. I would do if I were them.
