"The labor force is conservative," he said. "How in the world did that happen?"

There are two paths through life in this country Mr. Rooney. Entitlement and Opportunity.
"How in the world did this happen?" They chose opportunity.

[rabidralph]

I think he read it somewhere in the Bible.

[wideawake]

In the Gospels, Jesus chased money-changers from the Temple because they were turning God's house into a place of business.

Perhaps Mr. Rooney is accusing the higherups at CBS of running the news division for profitable sensationalism rather than accuracy.

Or maybe he's just being anti-Semitic. Who knows?

[bray]

Gee Andy, please explain where life came from!!! Us ignorant Christians just don't understand how life was evolved from molten lava???

Pray for W and Our Troops

[mict42]

I pray that he doesn't end up dying in a dark room alone, except for his remembrances of " What the world has to offer".

[EagleUSA]

Well, atheist or not, Rooney at least had the stature to stand up and tell it like it is about CBS and their fraudulent reporting. Very few in the media have the guts to do what is right ---

Rooney and his ilk can say what they want about Christians..Christians, I for one, know who and what we believe in and certainly have to make no excuses or give any explanations to anyone, especially in the far-left criminal media. Again, anyone, or anything, that relates to any FORM OF VALUES OR ETHICS is bad news for the "anything goes" pinko left.

[Tempest]

I often wonder why God choses to let people like Rooney and so many other God hating Hollywood elitest become succesful?

I mean if it's a test, it sometimes seems cruel. . .

"I think he read it somewhere in the Bible.

I think he was told someone else read it somewhere in the Bible.

Rooney - ""They haven't been exposed to what the world has to offer," he explained."


Guys like Rooney, Artest & co have shown us all the world has to offer that we care to see. Rooney is the mental equivalent of Artests physical barbarity and arrogance.

Thanks, but no thanks.

[TexasNative2000]

Taxes, jackass.

Uhmmm, could you be a bit more succinct?

[skeeter]

He accused Christian fundamentalists of being ignorant, saying Christians turned to religion because of "a lack of education." "They haven't been exposed to what the world has to offer," he explained.

More likely the precise opposite is true, ironically.

This man belongs in the same padded room as the other bitter venomous vitiolic has beens like Walter Cronkite, Helen Thomas and Daniel Shore

""I am very critical of some of the people at CBS who make it apparent what their political leanings are," Rooney said in a speech to Tufts University last week, in quotes picked up by RatherBiased.com."

If that is the case, he could start by criticizing himself!!!

[quark]

Moneychangers = latter day codeword for Jews.
[Hey Andy, your slip is showing!]

[Edmund Burke]

Money-changers...It's a more polite term than the one Hillary Clinton uses.

"I am an atheist," Rooney told Tufts. "I don't understand religion at all. I'm sure I'll offend a lot of people by saying this, but I think it's all nonsense."

Its not the people you have to worry about offending.

"The labor force is conservative," he said. "How in the world did that happen?"


Because unlike his rich neighbors in Greenwich,CT,they
weren't lucky enough to inherit millions.

So,as a result,these people know the meaning of "a full
day's work"!

[Arrowhead1952]

Rooney also admitted to being mystified over how "men who work with their hands voted for George Bush."

Well, Andy. For one thing, people who work with their hands are not holding their hands out for others to fill. Think that would make a difference? Doing SOMETHING for a living, instead of sucking the government's nipples dry....

PS to Andy, that is NOT the government's money to start with, it's called tax dollars.

[COUNTrecount]

Or maybe he's just being anti-Semitic. Who knows?

Shakespeare play : "The Merchant of Venice" For those of you that are not familiar with it, it is a story about a merchant who borrows money from a 'moneychanger' named Shylock.

Moneychanger...code word. Andy, tell us what you REALLY mean.
