She should have dropped a mike and just walked off!

 

Is that LBJ Quote true?

 

No clue. I didn't listen to her lunatic ramblings. I just posted the link to show that there is outrage.

He has over 8.7 million FB followers (of which I am one) so I'd guess that everyone that follows him doesn't do it for his politics...I do it for his humor which is often really witty.

 

I think he's delightfully funny. I had no idea anyone considered him a political talking head.

H

 

I think if ANYONE called the President that publically, the internet would blow up. Takei made this remark on HIS Facebook page, which is most likely followed by folks who are politically the same as Takei. So yes, Takei, a gay man, likely gets a little more leeway from other gay and lesbian folks when speaking about a Supreme Court justice that voted against gay marriage.

 

Actually Takei made his initial blackface comments to a reporter not on his Facebook page.

Listen and see if you still think she is a lunatic...you probably will :lol2:

He's not a talking head so to speak but he is quite active in certain circles. Still funny most of the time though

1. The average person in America has no clue who George Takei is. If not for Howard Stern I would have no clue who George Takei is. I guarantee the average American knows who Chuck Norris is so yeah, if Chuck Norris made a blackface comment about a black person then it would be a bigger deal.

 

2. As has been mentioned it is amazing no one has spoken on what Clarence Thomas said and instead about what George Takei said.

 

3. He actually has the same amount of followers are Limbaugh and Hannity combined.(1.6M). Hannity's tweets look like they are made by an intern strictly to promote his show and Limbaugh very rarely tweets at all. George Takei tweets all of the time and his tweets look like they belong to him and not some intern. All of this makes a difference. Especially on Twitter. Are you guys on Twitter?

 

4. His comments were hilarious. It's refreshing when people are honest these days. :thumb: #TrumpTalk

 

As to the average American knowing who he is, I think his # of followers is borne from a very interesting range of demographics: those who are Trekkies (I sort of fall in this category...LOVE the Star Trek TV show); those who are aware of his LGBT support; and those who just appreciate his brand of humor (I fall here too).

 

Interesting man. Very complex. I find it interesting how many completely different groups find him appealing.

Last time I saw him was on the William Shatner Comedy Central roast.

Takai is a hero of the left? Who determined that?

Nah, my unwavering love and support for Obama wouldn't allow me to be an undercover conservative.

Ah but as he said, he's won all of his elections...you can stretch out now, you can't vote for him again any way. Maybe Michelle in 2024!!!
