    Ed Asner
    Hello:

    Hollywood legend Ed Asner has outraged Republicans over this animated short.. I can't imagine why. Can you?

    I can't imagine why anyone cares what Ed Asner thinks/says about anything. Well, he's getting lots of air time so maybe his career will be rejuvenated.

    Is that the type of propaganda the California Federation of Teachers produce to indoctrinate California students? And they used the self proclaimed commie and 1%er Ed Asner... hmmm. I wonder if the California Dept Education thinks it's appropriate to have their teachers producing videos that depict people urinating on other people. I kind of doubt they do. But they are probably powerless to do something against the all powerful CFT .

    It's the same thing I have been saying for years right down to the peeing on our heads and calling it trickle down economics.

    It doesn't work for me either. I think its because they want you to log on. When I clicked the YouTube link it said it was a private video.

    Maybe ex is "up" to more then we want to know about.

    The links are all over the web. Look up key words... Ed Asner... moonbat... Ed Asner propaganda video

    Here is one to try...

    Ed Asner Narrates Tax The Rich Propaganda Cartoon For California Teachers Union | The Lonely Conservative

    Tal it's fine for you to make that comparison. It's quite another for a Teacher's Union to use it in a propaganda... ooops I mean "educational" cartoon for their students... narrarated by Ed Asner;a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

    We haven't even addressed the lies in the video like the 1% virtually paid virtually no taxes,even though over 70% of the tax receipts come from the top percent of taxpayers . The video claims that public schools have been defunded which is far from the truth . Public expenditures for public education has skyrocketted over the years. It's the return on the investment that should be challenged . Of course then it would demand accountability from the CFT .

    Take one of Tal's diatribes ;put it in a calm cartoonish narrative tone with simplistic illustrations and you get the idea. It's a 'the rich screw up everything' video.

    If Asner weren't a rich hypocrite you might have a point.

    Hello again, Steve

    If Asner weren't a rich hypocrite you might have a point.
    Here's your problem.. You think Al Gore shouldn't drive. You think Obama should VOLUNTEER to pay more taxes.. You think because Ed Asner is RICH, he shouldn't have an opinion on the poor..

    Right wingers, of course, CAN have an opinion on the poor...

    I bet many of those same greedy rich guys and gals have given away more money then your going to see in your lifetime. They also can afford to invest and take a loss on research and other areas that are speculation. Can you afford that?
