10/07/2003 06:24:00 PM | Timothy Racism from the Right "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. I just wonder, isn't Rush Limbaugh right to question the fact, is he that good an actor or not?"Morgan Friedman is a damn fine good actor. (It's not his fault Deep Impact sucked!) And it's racist and stupid for Pat Robertson to use this example. And I can say that with confidence because of Friedman's acting ability. Flashback to Emmett's comments about whether Rush's comments were racist: "This isn't racist at all. It may or may not be true -- I'm not a sports guy so I don't know if he's overrated or if that's why -- but there's nothing prejudicial or racist at all in that comment. (In fact, wasn't Limbaugh himself criticizing what he sees as prejudice?)" What does he think about Robertson? Does Emmett now agree you can make a racist statement by questioning someone's ability and saying they are only being hyped by people promoting them because of their race? If he thinks Friedman is a bad actor, let him say that. perma link |
