He may have supported Obama in the election, but this guy "doesn't do race." His hero was Sidney Poitier, who got where he was "when diversity didn't exist," and that was good enough for a young Freeman to think he could do it too.
So what is Freeman's solution to the "race problem?" Why stop talking about it, of course. Mike Wallace has no frickin' idea how to handle that kind of blasphemous candor.
JoshuaPundit has a great blog and got this from Tundra Tabloid.
Freeman's grand solution sounds downright sensible from where I sit. But that would put a whole lot of race-baiters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and frankly the entire Democrat party and all of academia out of work. Not good for the liberal economy. But I suspect Freeman wouldn't care a whit about that.

THANK YOU MR. FREEMAN!!! I just KNEW there was a reason why I love you so much!!! You are a great American (MAN) sir!!! I absolutely LOVE all of your movies and you seem genuinely nice, down to earth and see all people for their qualities, other than the color of their skin. I love your soothing voice, too!
I now have the utmost respect for Mr. Freeman. That is one of the most intellectual things I have ever heard from an Actor, and a American. It is amazing how the media doesn't know what to say to intelligent thought and words.
God Bless
Freeman, Poitier, Cosby - these are MEN in all the best connotations of that word. They are not sniveling cowards that consistently stir the race pot. I have a huge respect for these men, and I'm not of their ethnicity. But we are all Americans, and the values they espouse and their understanding of this American melting pot are the values and respect I would hope we all would emulate. We need more voices like Freeman's.
That was fun watching Freeman stump Wallace. "...But, But, I'm Jewish". Like that should make a difference? You're an American, Mr. Wallace. You don't want a "white" or "Jewish" history month, but you go along with a "black" history month? Intuitively you know it is wrong to have a black history month as it just continues to stir the race pot, but you deny this fact. I'm not Jewish, but the Jewish word "putz" applies to you.

Ranking Republican Paul Ryan responds to an NRO query about the news this morning: “The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that there is currently no official cost estimate. Yet House Democrats are touting to the press — and spinning for partisan gain — numbers that have not been released and are impossible to confirm.Boy, a final official number that came in over a trillion bucks would really bite them in the a**.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Arizona GOP Primary voters shows McCain ahead 48% to 41%. Three percent (3%) favor another candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. Following the announcement that Sarah Palin would campaign for his reelection, McCain opened up a 53% to 31% lead over Hayworth in January. The two men were in a near tie in November.By my math, McCain's lead shrunk from 21 to 7 in two months. Hmmm.

[House] leaders are mulling a rule that would allow the chamber to "deem" the Senate's version of health legislation as passed, without actually having to vote on it. Imagine how useful this trick would be in daily life. You could make unpopular decisions without actually appearing to make them. That excruciating Thanksgiving dinner at your brother-in-law's? You "deemed" that you attended. . . . It's understandable that some House Democrats wouldn't want to cast a direct vote on the Senate bill . . . before moving to change it. But a procedure this transparently gimmicky just adds to the cynicism surrounding the bill and opens it up to unnecessary court challenges.

In hypothetical match ups with Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) in the general election, Campbell leads Boxer, 44% to 43%, while Boxer leads Fiorina, 45% to 44%, and tops DeVore, 45% to 41%. Both findings are within the survey's margin of error.

The looming Congressional showdown over health care reform has set Washington’s legal war rooms whirring in preparation for court battles over any health legislation that moves towards President Barack Obama’s desk. Republican lawyers say they’re conducting research and drafting arguments for lawsuits that could be filed within days or weeks, particularly if House leaders decide to go forward with a “deem & pass” rule that would not permit a freestanding vote on the Senate-passed health care reform bill.

Democrats might like to think that health care reform is all but a done deal if it clears the House, but the Senate is where Republicans have been plotting for months to sentence it to a painful procedural death. Republican aides have been mining the Senate’s arcane parliamentary rules for an attack that aims at striking elements both broad and narrow from the bill, weakening the measure and ultimately defeating it. Their goal is to force changes that leave Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) without 51 votes to pass it, or at the very least, that drive it back to the House for a second vote that drags out the process and saps Democratic resolve.

Nice to hear this from Mr. Freeman. I've enjoyed his work as an actor for a number of years and now, like Walter Willams, I have a great respect for him as a man. Kudos to Mr. Freeman for putting Mike Wallace in his place.
