1. I like.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. When I die and get to meet God I believe he will sound like Morgan Freeman./nt

[uponit7771]

6. lofl.... I just thought the same thing, might even look like him too!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. It reminds me...

It reminds me of the "All In The Family" episode where Archie gets stuck in his basement on a cold winter day, gets drunk, thinks he's dead, and is rescued by this large black man who hears him through the grates. He looks up at him, thinking he's dead and seeing God, and says "the Jefferson were right."

10. lol

[iandhr]

16. He played god in Bruce Almighty.

My idea of God's voice is either Morgan Freeman or Bob Shepard. (Former Yankees PA announcer.)

[snooper2]

21. Not at all, this is what god actually sounds like

[BlueMTexpat]

3. Oh noes!

UTB with Morgan Freeman too!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. The fact that her and Bill eschewed high price legal careers for public service...

The fact that her and Bill eschewed high price legal careers for public service doesn't get enough notice.

[iandhr]

17. No doubt

But it's more fun for brave keyboard worries to say sellout 100 times a week.

27. She worked for the Rose Law Firm while he was governor. Firm's clients included Walmart.

She made $203,172 in 1992, which adjusted for inflation is about $350,000.

4. What's not to like?

Now, MF is a man who GIVES BACK! It's worth something from him, that endorsement.

5. Boom, Morgan Freemans voice is very powerful

[MohRokTah]

7. K&R eom

[oasis]

11. Love it.

[kstewart33]

12. This ad should run in every Southern state. nt

[Lucinda]

13. Wonderful.

[JudyM]

14. Same guy who said to "stop talking about racism" and that Black History Month is "ridiculous."

15. you misrepresented the exchange

FREEMAN: You're going to relegate my history to a month?

WALLACE: Come on.

FREEMAN: What do you do with yours? Which month is White History Month? Come on, tell me.

WALLACE: I'm Jewish.

FREEMAN: OK. Which month is Jewish History Month?

WALLACE: There isn't one.

FREEMAN: Why not? Do you want one?

WALLACE: No, no.

FREEMAN: I don't either. I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.

WALLACE: How are we going to get rid of racism until ...?

FREEMAN: Stop talking about it. I'm going to stop calling you a white man. And I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freeman. You're not going to say, "I know this white guy named Mike Wallace." Hear what I'm saying?

[JudyM]

18. Not misrepresented, verbatim.

WALLACE: Black History Month, you find ...

FREEMAN: Ridiculous.

WALLACE: Why?

FREEMAN: You're going to relegate my history to a month?

WALLACE: Come on.


etc. I said what he said, I didn't offer his rationale. I and a great many others view Black History Month as helpful in building visibility, teaching and promoting research. He thinks it's overly simplistic so would do away with it. He used the word "ridiculous" -- so, whatever about that.

[bigtree]

19. it doesn't mean what you think it does

...and he's entitled to his opinion. It's not denigrating of blacks, it's an appeal for normalcy and comity.

And posting only part of the exchange is dishonest.

[JudyM]

20. You are calling me dishonest!!?

I posted the whole article; you posted only part of it.

[bigtree]

23. you just posted an excerpt from the exchange because you thought it shamed Morgan Freeman

...yes, this is a dishonest attack on the man.

You don't have a clue if you think this is something damning.

[JudyM]

24. I was surprised that he said what he said and thought other DUers would be as well.

there wasn't anything dishonest. I linked his entire statement.

The shame is on you.

[bigtree]

28. lol

[SunSeeker]

22. Love his voice. Love the ad. nt

[Ferd Berfel]

25. Doncha wonder what Obama Promised him?

[workinclasszero]

26. Loved it!

[Eric J in MN]

29. Portrays her as uninterested in money.

In reality, she worked at the Rose Law Firm, whose clients included Walmart and Tyson Foods. She made $203,172 in 1992, which adjusted for inflation is about $350,000.

Hillary Clinton also put profits first from 2013-2015, receiving corporate speaking fees. She made $3 million from a dozen speeches to financial companies.

[wendylaroux]

30. Morgan Freeman aint no dummy.

he doesn't want to be taxed at a higher %.
At least he is honest about it.

[whatchamacallit]

31. So I take it he endorsed her and did this ad for free?

[bigtree]

35. you're something else

...

[whatchamacallit]

36. Hence my name

[Mike__M]

32. I respect Freeman for his role

as celebrity beekeeper.

Were he to poll his socialist bees, he might find them more aligned with that candidate whose best ads are voiced, if at all, by the candidate himself.

I must admit, this is a good, positive ad.

[Armstead]

33. Well done ad, even though I don't like the candidate at all

[DesertRat]

34. Great ad! k&r
