Chris Rock on Alcee Hastings on Sarah Palin

I usually avoid the Larry King show but I’m sorry I missed this one.

Haha. This show how clever many comedians are while acting like fools. Rock’s criticism of the fake “issue” is excellent.

This is not news.

Why would Larry King try to explain the logic in an obviously illogical statement? And why would he ask Chris Rock about it — just because he is a member of “that community?”
I’ve never watched Larry King, but I assumed he was more intelligent than that.

Kudos to Chris Rock! That was a dumb question on Larry King’s part. The only thing that Chris Rock appears to have in common with Alcee Hastings is his race. Since Larry King admits to having known Hastings for a period of time, he was in a far better position to clarify the statement than Chris Rock.

I’ve always thought the same. What’s the difference between killing a deer and killing a dog?
It’s killing a animal… PERIOD. This is not an excuse for Micheal Vick b/c I believe he belongs in jail but this rule should go to everyone who kills deer etc to hang on their walls.
Unless you’re going to eat the animal… DON’T KILL IT.

hastings is racist
chris rock…his thoughts are irrelevant to me… along with the media and all the other celebs…. and old larry king needs to retire
1 hr of wasted time

The last two days of the campaign confirmed that McCain -Plain are the most inadequate people to run this country. If Obama was O’Brian and he was white and not black,
He would not have had any trouble winning the election.
I am white but I can see very clear the elephant on the room. Your arguments are just a excuse .

I’ve got it… This whole McCain fly to Washington save the world thing, is a political move, but not the move we thought it was…. He is trying to show he is not tight with Bush… the whole thing is a plot to make us think that the Repugs are pulling away from their leader…. OMG… why did I not see this yesterday…. Bush keeps yelling pass the plan and McCain and his clones are refusing. If I am right, it backfired on him to.. LOLOL

The remark of Rep. Hastings about Gov. Palin toting guns and stripping moose was vile and reprehensible. It had nothing to do with hunting moose for food. It was a scurilous attack on Gov. Palin, accusing her of being a racist, anti-semitic and capable of conducting a lynching. Comments like this are race bating hate speak. He should be impeached for inciting racial hatred.

when mccain and palin lose—–THEY CAN GET TOGETHER AND MAKE CARTOONS—-man what a wacky pair.

run bullwinkle run for your life—boris and natasha are after you—–oh man i could split a rib.

Larry King is an idiot, evidenced by this line of questioning. What Hastings said was completely inappropriate—but why would have ask Chris Rock about it. As Rock aptly noted, he didn’t go to some “fancy school” but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out the only reason he was asked his opinion is to create fake news, a fake controversy and because they are both Black.
I can’t believe Larry King still has a job. He is a useless hack.

While I don’t think there’s a comparison between legitimate moose hunting and Vick’s repulsive treatment of those fighting dogs, it IS disgusting to read about Gov. Palin’s efforts to encourage slob hunting of wolves (picking them off from the air using high-powered rifles, yeah there’s plenty of sport in that), and her efforts to refuse protection to polar bears. No wonder that the ASPCA for the first time in history made an endorsement in the US Presidential race, against Palin/McCain.

I WILL EVER REMEMBER MCCAIN AND PALIN AS BORIS AND NATASHA—POOR BULLWINKLE

LEN—- PLEASE NOT BULLWINKLE

Got to, Rodney. Rocky, the mayor of Frostbite Falls, suspended the moose hunting season so the Nogudniks and Fearless Leader can get back to Chicago in time to watch Bullwinkle pull another rabbit out of the hat.

foreclosure: If any candidate isn’t qualified to run this country its Obama himself. Lack of experience,knowledge and capabilities. Whatever he learned in college didn’t do him any good. He’s dummer than a high school graduate. McCain doesn’t need anyone to advise him on a debate but Obama needed three days. At first Obama didn’t want the debate then he changed his mind. Obama has never won a debate yet and failed in the forum interview for giving dumb answers. And I can’t wait for the Palin/Biden debate. That is going to be something with bad mouth Biden and let’s hope he doesn’t get out of control.

rodney: I don’t think Palin would eat you if she killed you because your too old and your skin is too wrinkled. If I am correct I thought you said you were 80 years old. That is old old and too old for any woman regardless if they shoot animals or not.

rodney: Haven’t you ever eaten moose or deer meat? I remember our butcher selling it. He even sold horsemeat. People bought it up like mad. The said it was delicious. You should try it sometime.

Wow! Two geniuses commenting on a person they can’t measure up to on so many levels. But that’s okay. Palin only becomes more popular among the voting public so … keep it up!

Is Chris Rock a vegetarian? If not where does he think it comes from.. Someone else has to kill it when you get it from the store. Only difference.

Chris, you’re not a moose. Just a jackass. :-)

wow, this interview must have been really uncomfortable.

“Gov. Palin’s efforts to encourage slob hunting of wolves (picking them off from the air using high-powered rifles, yeah there’s plenty of sport in that), ”
1) This was not “hunting” or “sport” but predator control. Big difference.
2) But you don’t know the reason for predator control, particularly wolves, in Alaska, do you?
3) Yet you feel as if you have to make a comment anyway, eh.

We need to have standards for the people that are elected to Congress!

“Palin only becomes more popular among the voting public so …”
Susan, where do you live? Bizarro world?
Palin is dropping in polls like lead weight, even the conservative bloggers hate her now. It was only a matter of time before the ‘Palin effect’ crashed and burn.

Congratulations to Chris Rock for first ridiculing then dismissing Larry King’s idiotic statements.
Chris neutralized Larry King’s subtle proddings and refused to be drawn into making a negative soundbite that could be used against him or Obama.
At the same time, he got in a funny dig about elevating Palin’s animal-murdering abilities.
That’s why you Rock Chris!!!

silly. i hunt for elk, deer, antelope in colorado. i never have to buy beef in supermarkets that is filled with growth hormones and antibiotics. i’m saving my life or extending it by eating the meat that i slay. nothing goes to waste. no eyeballs in my hamburger.
heh heh

aerial hunting of wolves: Wolves and bears are very effective and efficient predators on caribou, moose, deer and other wildlife. In most of Alaska, humans also rely on the same species for food. In Alaska’s Interior, predators kill more than 80 percent of the moose and caribou that die during an average year, while humans kill less than 10 percent.
The preditor wolf is taking the hunt away from mankind in alaska. Go to Alaska, it is a desolate, harsh environment during the winter which is usually 7-1/2 months of the year. The snow stacks to 5 feet just north of Anchorage. Like I said before, I live in Colorado, but have spent 4 winters in Alaska for recreation. I’ve driven a dog sled of six for 100 miles and seen no other wildlife. I’ve spent time in Nome. A desolate town (gee, you can see Russia on a clear day) Let’s not give the Governor of Alaska such a bad time when she talks about her state. Alaska is harsh. My eyelashes have been covered with ice while walking across a glacier lake. My butt has frozen to a stainless steel toilet seat in a Alaska State Park facility. I’ve slid down a ice covered snow slow while snow sking at a resort. It’s cold. It’s harsh. One can die on a winter day, if not properly attired. The winter is long and DARK.
Oh well, Yut Dah Hey. As Hayduke in a arizona novel (Edward Abbey/The Monkey Wrench Gang) used to say.
peace

That was the dumbest interview I ever heard. People pay money to hear this guy ‘entertain’? What makes King think that people want to hear Rock’s view on anything? He is insulting his audience.

Hate to go ad hominem, but I never watch this moron — he’s simply too ugly. Look…it makes sense: Some people are very attractive (e.g., Sarah Palin, our next V.P.); and some people are opposite. Neither asked to be born that way; but both have to play the cards they’re dealt. In king’s case: 3, 8, Jack, Queen! 2 (rainbow). Sarah Palin: Royal flush in hearts. Why the post? The “Moose” caption caught my attention. Rock…I never heard of, but he should learn to talk in some semblence of a sentence.

Isn’t it amazing that within two weeks of Sarah Palin being put on the ticket we knew everything about her personal, professional and political life including every detail of her husband and children. Yet, in the two years that the Dali-Bama has been running for president, the MSM has done essentially nothing but cover up Obama’s past.
Why have we heard nothing about Obama’s relationship with William Ayers, terrorist? Why have we heard nothing about Obama’s relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, communist? Why have we heard nothing about Obama’s relationship with ACORN, a radical leftist group that has been indicted for registering illegible voters (illegal aliens) voter fraud in 12 states? Why don’t we have full disclosure on Obama’s relationship with Rev. Wright, anti-American anti-white black liberation theologist? Why don’t we have full disclosure on Father Pfleager, radical leftist priest? Why don’t we have full disclosure on Tony Rezko, money launderer and convicted felon?

Chris Rock is smart, but maybe too smart for some people. The point being in both cases the animal is ultimately dead. Doesn’t matter what the intention of the murderer is… If you killed me for food, or just cause I’m a minority and you felt I was disposable so you did it for sport, or if you killed me so you could harvest my organs for a dying loved one… it wouldn’t matter to me why you killed me. I’d just be dead. I think both the moose and the dog just were trying to live life. So it’s OK to kill animals for food, which she can easily purchase at the store – which supports the economy, b.t.w., or she has the pleasure of killing her own food. Awesome. In the end, both animals are needlessly dead.

Geez, Can’t you all see that C. ROCK was trying to avoid adding negative discussion to an already volitile situation.
If the people that commented on ROCK badly didn’t see that then then need to take literature classes on drama.
It’s clear that the man is avoiding King’s questioning with deflection and humor. You aristocrats make me wanna regurgitate my lunch.

of course he was avoiding the question. Chris Rock has the political expertise of a flea. His extertise is comedy, and he clearly had brains to identify between the two, and deflected these nonsense questions. Comedian, yes. Politician, no. Chris has figured that out, im sure Larry should have done the same before bringing up irrrelevant questions to a person with no relevance in the matter.
Good job Chris. You saw through the ploy and came out fine. Ignore these people trying to score some racial or political underscore from these comments. What happened to Larry discusing issues relevant to the guest? Thats what i want to know….

Judge Alcee Hastings “was impeached and removed from office for corruption and perjury. He is only the sixth federal judge to be impeached and removed from office in American history.” — Wikipedia.

i must thank you for helping me to make a final decision: i’m voting mccain / palin this year.
your comment made me realize that, as the pendulum swings back, it’s not just many average black americans around me who are racist and hostile to white Americans, but even politicians like you who have been voted into a high office by a group of Americans (neither blacks, asians, nor whites, gays, like me, nor straights, christians, jews, or muslims. just American).
i had truly thought we could’ve voted for sen. obama — that we were just about to get beyond sexism, racism, etc., and just all be Americans. but you’ve proven to me: we’re not quite ready to have a black president. like the o j simpson jury and, more recently, rev. wright, i realize from your stark comment that some people just aren’t (yet) open-minded but still truly prejudiced and hateful. we can’t have that in our white house. we need an American who is for Americans. period.
i hope that you can grow and that we can one day just think about who’d be the best candidate — not about his/her race, sexual-preference, sex or religion.

Is it still possible at this late stage of the 21st century that some stupid white people can’t imagine that black people can be racist too?

Why in the world id Alcee Hastings doing in congress if he was impeached as a corrupt judge? Did the people who voted for him know mhe is a crook? If they did they are a bunch of idiots. Give some men a little power and they have to see how much they can get buy with. He is ma greedy man, beware of this man….
