factual, clear and true.

Is this really surprising to anyone? Some of the biggest racists I've ever known were not the scary redneck Baptists from the Bible Belt that Hollywood tells us we should fear and loathe, but college-educated elitist middle-class white liberals who think they're the smartest people in the world and everybody else is oh-so-stupid and backwards.


Robert De Niro Apologizes For Racist Joke


These stories are more common than you think because they rarely get the play in the mainstream media that non-liberal racists receive.

you see, liberals think they get a free pass because they are liberal. It is expected.. but hey, a conservative best not do what the liberals do,, they can't tolerate that!! You know liberals, they ask for tolerance and give none.
That's because conservatives are better educated. More is expected of them.

Tom Hanks winning an Oscar® for "Philadelphia" - YouTube

What a weird man. Loves gays. Hates Blacks. Listen to how he praises them and gets all choked up and cries and stuff.

I don't give a damn if it's eight years or eight hours. The simple fact is liberals and the left wing MSM are HYPOCRITES!!!! Trust me, if this had been a conservative celebrity at a conservative event, the calls for their head would be deafening, no matter how long ago it had been.

And don't tell me that's not the case because you damn well know it is. To think anything else is horsecrap.
