Ben Affleck thinks Muslims are a separate race
American Thinker ^ | 10/05/2014 | Rick Moran

In their eagerness to play the race card, liberals will occassionally (?) get carried away.

That's what happened to actor Ben Affleck who got into a shouting match with HBO's Bill Mahar and neuroscientist Sam Harris over Mahar's scatthing monologue on the show last week that harshly criticized Islam:

“Why are you so hostile about this?” Maher asked Affleck.

“It’s gross, it’s racist,” Affleck replied.

“It’s so not,” Maher insisted, though Affleck compared it to using the term, “Shifty Jew.”

“You’re not listening to what we are saying,” Maher insisted.

“You guys are saying, if you want to be liberal, believe in liberal principles,” Affleck said, referencing Maher’s monologue last week. “Like, we are endowed by our forefathers with inalienable rights, all men are created equal.”

Harris, who had complained about criticism of the Muslim religion being dismissed as Islamophobic, countered that liberals should be allowed to criticize bad ideas.

“Islam is the motherload of bad ideas,” Harris argued.

“Jesus,” Affleck said in frustration.

“That’s just a fact,” Maher said, backing Harris up.

Note to Affleck: While there are certainly black Muslims, the majority of Muslims are non-Africans - Semitic Arabs (Caucasians), and Asians. To try and smear an opponent by calling him racist is so typical of many liberals who, when they feel themselves losing an argument, whip out the race card - even if it's silly to do so.

Second note to Afflack: We are endowed by GOD with inalienable rights.

What kind of dolt believes a man can endow another man with inalienable rights?

But I suppose it seems right and natural to an elitist.

“endowed by our forefathers....Second note to Afflack: We are endowed by GOD with inalienable rights. “.

Yea, that stuck out like sore thumb when I watched that clip.. “Endowed by out forfathers”...lol, what a dunce.

Back to grade school American history class for old Ben so he can reread the founding fathers exact words: “...endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights”

It might be "religionist" but there ain't no race of mooselimbs. Because ben a-"flack" is a mediocre actor he thinks he has real world knowledge...wrong.

Ben Affleck: We [U.S.] have killed way more Muslims than they [Al Queda & ISIS] have killed. Why are we exempt?
