Morgan Freeman has given President Barack Obama $1,000,000 to combat the conservatives he has branded as racist.
Freeman, along with Obama mega donor Irwin Jacobs, provided the Obama Super PAC with half of its $6 million haul in June—its largest single month to date. The Oscar-winning actor has good company in Tinsel Town.
Freeman joins a relatively small cadre of high-profile Hollywood figures who have contributed to the pro-Obama super PAC, including director Steven Spielberg, comedian Chelsea Handler, producer/writerJ.J. Abrams and producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, who helped start the group last year with $2 million.

Someone should inform Morgan that Obama is not African American if that’s the reason he donated. The man is Muslim.

and he cares not about ‘we the people’.. period..nor does Romney.
You are truely incorrect about Romney..What do you think he’s fighting about.
@dfinch
Romney fighting for the common American? That is funny!
You do know that Romney is an elitist; yes?
You do know he is a New England Banker; Yes?
He works for the bankers and is accepted as one of theirs.
And that flies straight in the face of being for the common American!

Romney doesnt need the job he is running for. He knows he can help the US out of this morass obama put us in.Being rich is not a sin unless you are a liberal. What do you think obama is poor.?
@leecar
“…Romney doesnt need the job he is running for. He knows he can help the US out of this morass obama ..”
He didn’t need to be governor either; So?
Actually he’s running NOT to help the common American but to help his elitist banker friends, of which he is a member in good standing. Remember Romney is a banker!
Obama also has had a lot of backing from the bankers in his 1st run for the presidency. And he has money from them this time also. Let’s just say the bankers are hedging their bets so they can’t lose. The bankers and businessmen will take care of Romney and make it worth his while to run for president, just as they have managed to help Obama. Sadly, ya’ll can’t see this as you are too busy playing politics that you think will win you your country and keep yoy safe in “Democracy”. What hogwash!

and ovomit is WHAT??

I thought Morgan Freeman was a fair minded person! Apparently I was wrong1 His credibility with me has sunk to zero!
Morgan Freeman is a self avowed Socialist, and totally supports the “Death to America” stance of our P.O.S. USURPER crackhead in chief.
I’ve loved Freeman’s movies but whichever one was the last one I saw is also the last one I’ll ever see. I’m done with all of the Hollyweird weirdo’s.
I agree with you wholeheartedly dfinch. I will not watch another Morgan Freeman movie, nor will I watch anything by Steven Spielberg, J.J. Abrams, Jeffrey Katzenberg, George Clooney, Tom Hanks, nor will I visit a comedy club if George Lopez orChelsea Handler is on the venue. I won’t watch Bill Mahar or anything with Sarah Jessica Parker!
Why look at any TV or movies? Why listen to radio to only be disappointed in other ways? I don’t look at TV or listen to radio or read the mainstream newspapers. Nor am I a armchair sports fanatic looking B Ball or whatever sport there is of the day.
Maybe ya’ll should try reading history and theology and philosophy and actually learning something for a change. It’s really hard to have an advanced intelligent conversation with a bunch of ignorants. And just think, I’m what you yankees call a redneck, and resulting from some form of incest, and I am backwards, and ignorant, and Southern uneducated trash, even trailer trash, whether I live in one or not. Oh the hypocrisy of you people, it never ceases to amaze me…. And ya’ll waste your time looking at movies….. Do something constructive with your lives instead of being brainwashed…. and mesmerized… (You’re doing what the elite wants you to do and you’re doing it for them at your expense..)

I always thought something was wrong with Morgan Freeman, too good of a man. Never could put my finger on it. Now I know. Not only is he, as a rich actor, supporting a communist, a liar, a racist, a gun runner, he is purshing to legalize MJ. Morgan must be a mj smoker and let him goodness go out of his body. Now we know. I don’t have to wonder anymore. If i was a young person and watching a lot of movies, which i am neither, i would never watch any of his in any kind of circumstances.
@smith1
Just something to consider…
George Washington smoked MJ, so did Thomas Jefferson.
Both grew it as one of their main crops. MJ had NO stigma attached to it and was considered a respectable business until the 1930′s. MJ was a major cash crop throughout the South until the 1930′s. It main use was in hemp, but was openly smoked and sociably acceptable.
You figure out who made it illegal and their reasons behind it. Then figure out who actually makes the money off it today. (Sure the growers do, but those growers are subsidised by other people for a larger purpose.) Then I ask; How can hemp/MJ be restricted by the Federal Government? It’s NOT Constitutional and cannot be shown to be except by reading the US Constitution as a Living Document. However each individual state has the right to restrict if they so desire..
And NO I do NOT use the stuff. I don’t inhale or smoke it.. I’m just stating the facts of it…
Michael– Deo Vindicabamur
Yes, mike i know about old George, Jefferson. That was in time much much simpler than the way we lived. they were driveing hosres, not big machine with big horses.
this is a different world. I have seen first hand what one little harmless MJ cigarette will cause. Many , many dollars, many sleepless nite, many hospital visits expected to find them dead on arrival.
Yes, right now , i can not point it out to you in the constitution, which i never thought had any thing to do with it, but i am sure it does. They arrest you for being intoxicated, they arrest you for mj. the latest studies on mj for medical use, shows little or none help for medical problems. I respect your opinion, but mine is supported by first hand looking at what happend to two people and many of their friends. Caused them to be couach potatoes of a sort. sitting in front of a tv, discussing all the business, jobs, etc they were going to get or do. never gettin very far from couach and bed unless they were looking for a dealer. Many, many jobs lasted a week, sometimes a month. the only jobs that lasted very long was when they would quite smoking mj for awhile. MJ led to more and more MJ and then more and more cocaaine, then more and more herion, you get the idear. Have raced to the hospital on serval occasions to see if they were going to live or die. Finally got harden to it and slowed down racing and giving money, money. and finally after many years and many near deaths they are in the process of trying to do right. it is very, very hard for an addict to do so. I also was aquainted with a number of users who are in the grave yard, and quite a number who are still in jail.The addict should have treatment, the dealer, just plain shot. May sound hard, but it has take a number of years off my living. I am now living with a bad heart.
PS: mike, old George was the first Or the eight , which ever you want call him President who borrowed money for the government.; His debt has never been paid off. Paid down, but never paid off. JUst a little extra info.
@smith1
You don’t blame the object, you blame the person.
Don’t blame the gun, blame the person.
Everyone has the benefit of the doubt until they actually do something that harms another.
Or at least that is the way it used to be, and that is regardless to horses or cars.
And NO, I absolutely disagree with your use of statistics. Anytime I see statistics or a person use them I cringe at the lack of intelligence, the commonsense and moral fortitude behind using such trash to justify a position. Either something is or something isn’t, and being somewhat related to the medical field I know a little something statistics and I know just a little something about the effects MJ, and it is NOT always as you claim, not by a long way. Playing statistics and re-interpreting the US Constitution to make allowances for what one likes or dislikes is what got the country into the mess it is now in. Either the US Constitution is to be read strictly and follow Due Proces, giving you a Republican form of government, else you can read the US Constitution as a Living Document and you’re gonna stay in this predicament of today and it will get much worse. The MJ issue is just a tiny example of how the Constitution has been mis-represented.

Evidently you do not read the news much! 2 years ago, Freeman was in an auto accident with a mysterious woman for which the crime was not only covered up by all police involved (He didn’t even get a DUI) but the woman was never named and it cost him his marriage! Furthermore, he quite blatantly stated he was ‘God’ that God was made after HIS image. You really need to read more as this last one was front page news. I personally have taken to boycotting ALL work by freeman, Speilberg and every other actor in that group or who attempts to use their clout to get anyone to vote for Obama. It wouldn’t hurt if all of my patriotic fellow Americans were to join me in this boycott. After all, all Hollywood appears to concern it’s self with seems to be their pocket books! I scout th black websites and you might be truly surprised at just what they DO think of white people, tht there is an active and LARGE campaign to replace white America with Black America and just how many prominent blacks are involved, ESPECIALLY actors. It is time to wake up Patriots.
The black man wants to replace the white man,if that ever happened the black men would starve to death
“The black man wants to replace the white man,if that ever happened the black men would starve to death”
No it won’t! Then the white man would be the black man’s slave!

Couldn’t agree more. It really disappoints me! I’ve always liked his acting, but will not watch another of his movies……..
Oh No .. NOT Morgan Freeman … I can’t believe HE is against the American people. I can’t believe he would go against the very moral fabric of what America is based on. How could he think if people vote against obama we would be racist.. thats just dumb.. we vote against this 1/2 white person because obama is destroying OUR country,, because obama has committed crimes against the US people and aganst congress and has NO respect for OUR constitution or our flag. We vote against obama because he is NOT legal to hold the position of Presdent. We vote against obama because he does NOT have the ability to do the right thng for the US people. Vote against obama because he is trying to turn us into a muslim and or socialist country. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin. I hope Freeman realizes the error of his ways before its to late. Shame ON him!!
Barlely: you got it right. amen to that.
Mr. Freeman, how can you be so blind.
I think it is YOU people who are so blind that you cannot separate friend from foe. You are basing your thoughts on feelings instead of the logic involved. It all boils down to one’s philosophy of life and how it concerns their deepest innermost desires. The article doesn’t surprise me at all! You will see much more of this as the days pass by….
Michael– Deo Vindicabamur
It seems to me, that supporting a perceived Black, is more important that supporting an American! I have spent my last dollar seeing any film, Morgan Freeman is in! I’ll not support him or his films!
He and his Hollywood cronies are no different than Jane Fonda ! To me it is a form of treason. How can the people supporting Oboma not see through the lies and deception. This is like a horror movie. You hear these people say the non supporters are racist, well these people are freaking zombies !!!!!!!!!!
The news about Obama’s associations with radicals has been well known for quite some time. Just as Colin Powell voted race, and not character, Morgan Freeman is doing the same. They do not want to hear the truth about the first black person to be in the Oval Office.
Morgan Freeman is a millionaire. People of all races paid to see his movies. What does he have to complain about?
He is only 6.25 % black !!!!!
Please get it right, the “Monarchy” operative “Barack Harrison J Boundel Hussein Obama” isn’t Black!
Morgan Freeman is a great actor, however, he stated in an interview that anyone who opposes Obama is a racist. I can’t imagine how anyone with half a brain could say such a thing. It’s infuriating. Freeman is worth 90 million dollars and I’m sure that plenty of conservative “racists” went to see his films, giving him the ability to have that worth. I won’t be going to see any of his futue films.
well, well meet another big racist. All blacks are not supporting the racist, the liar, the crook, the gun runner, the communist, who is fast taking us into a third world country and he wants to be the dicator. Only thing about bammy he has not got what it takes.
Hit him in the pocketbook!Do not watch “Into the Wormhole’ on the Discovery Science Channel.Express your displeasure to the advertisers.
Birds of a feather flock together !!! He’d be a poorman in a socialist society !1 He’s got to quit drinking the nobama kool ade and see him for what he is a lying POS commie not because he claims to be a black man which his genetic makeup proves he isn’t !!!!
if you take away his acting career, freeman is nothing but a typical racecard throwing stupid boon
no morgan freeman,you are a racists,dispiceable treasonous trader,i never watched any of your movises,and we the people by me,sure won,t be watching anything with your vile disgraceful face on it.god bless ron paul,sheriff joe and colld case posse,brian terry and family,and chuck norris,frank serpico,and all legal american veterans/citizens.one ntion under god
bobbyc327
“….veterans/citizens.one ntion under god”
…..divisible, with liberty and justice for all.
That’s the way it supposed to read…

Politically, minorities function with a single mind. If they are black, they do not think beyond their race. face. They and their Mexican (no such thing as an Hispanic) counterparts vote along ethnic lines. It is the only criteria they use. Anyone who is against Obama is a racist. No matter that the man is a criminal, a liar, anti-American, and a non-citizen holding this high office illegally. Add to Morgan Freemen, Leonard Pitts, and Colin Powell … need I go on? Perhaps Morgan is seeking a cabinet post should Obama be reelected! This is a truism, not racism. Mr. Freeman and his ilk are the real racists.
Personally I would like to see Condy Rice as Romneys running mate.
Wow! Who is the real “big money” elitist candidate? It was a wise man who said, “Why should I be more worried about how Romney spends his money than about how Obama spends mine?”
@TheAmbassador
And I wonder who the same people are that donates to both candidates?
btw-Romney will spend your money too! Only in different ways than Obama…

Mike360000,just what percentage are all of the blacks in this country,how many well armed white men do you
think are in this country,not talking about the little pea shooters they have in the hood with maybe a range of
200 yards or so,talking about high powered rifles with a thousand yard or more range,plus the scopes,so who do you really think would come out on top if we had a race war?????
@steve69licks
You seem to overlok the fact of all those weapons that’s been coming across the border to this side. You name it and its’ been smuggled to the gangs and stockpiled just waiting for the right people. There have been several news articles on this. But it goes MUCH further than just blacks. In reading my posts you should have read the various groups involved. Blacks are only part of the equation. Even many white people, the liberal whites will be siding with the blacks, as will Hispanics, Asians, union workers, environmentalists; shall I go on? This NOT specifically a race war, but Marxist ideology uses race as a key ingredient in dividing a nation. And this is just ONE more reason the democrats wants illegals in this country as do many republicans…

I used to think MF was probably an ok person,but it,s obvious to me that he is nothing but a racist like his muslim brotherhood leader Hussein ovomit,this country is really in trouble with idiots like MF donating 1 million to the likes of ovomit only goes to prove that the real racist have not changed their identity,they got wealth in their hands now so it,s not about MLK anymore and equality,it,s about them against everybody else because of the size of their pocket book,but like all things that will come to an end,MF i,m burning everyone of your movies that i own and i,ll be damn if i ever go watch another of your pictures.The only reason your voting or donating to the fraud usurper is because of the color of his skin,you had me fooled i thought you were smarter then that,ovomit is a disgrace to this country and your no better.
