Matthew Modine uses N word in Prime-Time TV
bluesite.com ^

Posted on 04/30/2008 10:11:16 AM PDT by publius_in_abq

Matthew Modine was a guest on Bill O'Reilly's show on 4/29, and made a very strange and incoherent comment that included the N-word. The video is at patdollard.com (Warning- offensive language on this website - I can't even link to the URL name), but the link included (http://thebluesite.com/?p=1475) is a brief transcript of the exchange. I don't know what Modine was trying to say, but if this had been a conservative so casually using this word, it would be all over.


TOPICS: Politics/Elections

Modine is....not very smart. That’s what I got from that interview.

That word got bleeped and I could not tell what he had said on the O-Factor. It was clear to me that he was a loon.

I saw that interview. Modine didn't make a lot of sense from where I was sitting. Like he didn't really know for sure what he wanted to say.

I will say, he was much more polite than most of the libs that show up on any of the Fox programs. He didn't try to shout over Bill, but waited patiently until it was his turn to speak.

Why are we contributing to the nonsense, just so we can be consistent with liberal BS? How stupid is it to ban the use of words in serious discussion on related topics.

Yeah, really.

Hell, if you remember the “controversy” about Ted Danson wearing blackface at the Friar’s Club in the early 90’s (when he dated Whoopi), it was Modine himself that openly condoned the frank, humorous discussion of race in the right setting.

Not an issue.

Modine: very strange and incoherent comments from a very strange and incoherent man.

And being on O'Reilly he probably waited a very long time.

Modine was trying to equate the Rev. Wright with his father (of the same generation), he said his father ‘would have’ looked at Wright on TV and said, “That’s an uppity ni****.”

Like Larry Elder said on his show the other day, he has an older uncle that experienced racial incidence in his youth but we are living in today’s world. Larry CHALLENGES his uncle, with respect, on various issues and doesn’t just take his old-fashioned diatribes.

When you think about it, leftists are ALWAYS challenging us to change and give up old-fashioned (conservative) thinking, like marriage is only for one man and one woman, except when it benefits them.

What struck me was his comment that liberalism is humanitarian. That couldn't be further from the truth.

This is what liberal humanitarianism is. Idiot Compassion

Whoever posted the interview on youtube must’ve cut out that part:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ds9pb0taJ4

But, in the segment posted on youtube, Modine appears to confuse the terms “liberal” and “liberty”. O’Reilly did not correct him.

Did you ever wish you were the one doing the interview?
