Rock to Bush: You're a "Retard!"

Chris RockChris Rock thinks George W. Bush is a retard.

In the latest issue of Life magazine, featuring Chris on the cover, Rock is asked, "Is this country ready for an African American president?" Rock answered, "It's ready for a retarded president, why wouldn't it be ready for an African American president?" Oh no he didn't!

Rock went on to say that he likes Al Gore, and that he doesn't expect to see a black president in his lifetime.

The comedian, doing publicity for "I Think I Love My Wife," also took the opportunity to quash persistent rumors that his marriage was in trouble. "My marriage is just like everybody else's," Rock said. "Great like everybody else's and whatever like everybody else's. Everything's fine."

46. #39 What it really boils down to is respect, not political correctness. When you think about it, we've got a really famous comedian calling the President of the United States a word that the ignorant throw around. Should it be taken that seriously? No. I consider the source. What I'm saying is that maybe when we stop and think (if we do) about what we say, maybe we can actually say things that mean something instead of shooting of at the mouth without thinking. What a concept!!! I am not asking anyone to trade in free speech. What I'm saying is that you can express your opinion without degrading a particular group of people who have nothing to do with it. And if I don't protect people like my child- who will? Insensitive ASSHOLES like you?

47. Give me a break he gave his opinion....and well most of America seems to side with him there for he must be a little more intelligent than the president him self. The republicans that some how STILL support him need to get some help because he has lied many times to the American public so that he could do and have what he wanted and still you stand behind him......wow its pointless to arguee with people that still back him because they obviously are just as stupid if not even dumber than him!!!!!!

48. I'm judging Rock thinks he knows everything. These liberal know-it-alls just amaze me with their intellect. I thank God we have had Mr. Bush during these difficult times. We soon enough will have someone who thinks you can sit down and reason with these people who have sworn to kill ALL Americans. I guess then they will suddenly become Canadians. Maybe they should because they certainly don't talk and act as though they are Americans. I for one love my country and don't want to see it destroyed as they seemingly do.

49. And exactly how "intelligent" is that opinion? This guy is a 3rd rate actor, and he insults a man with enough education and political service to allow himself to be elected President? I wonder what Rocks father did to make this world a better place? He could have used a condom for starters!!!! It's funny how "Hollyweird" way~left are the ones screaming about political correctness, respect for every ife style known to man~ democrats that are so~ socially aware~ are supporting slanderous language against people that are considered the most "under dogged" people in the nation!!!! I guess their democratic sympathy only goes so~ far!!!!

50. As a mother of a child with Down Syndrome (Mentally Retarded) I find Chris Rock's use of the word retarded insulting. At least my mentally retarded child has enough class not to use the "N" word - so who is the idiot. Chris Rock I would not give you the time of day and I hope that everyone who has mentally challenged person in their family BOYCOTTS anything that has to do with Chris Rock. I'll be passing the word.

52. I'm just wondering why he isn't railing about how Israel will never have a Palestinian president in his lifetime. They are doing so much more damage to the world yet believe they are supior to everyone in the world and will take over the world. Doesn't he think he's smarter than a Jew? Why doesn't he call Olmert a retard and say he'll never see a black man run Israel because that's the truth. You will never see a semitic Arab or a black as President (useless job but Chris doesn't know that) or Prime Minister of Israel because they are all backwards and it's a theocracy.

Chris should appreciate that America is a more progressive society than Israel. He shouldn't piss where he eats.

And in all truth, Bush has a BA in history and a master's in business administration. Before that he was a pilot in the military. And I would venture to say that he's earned an honourary doctorate in politics or at least could have one when he pens his experiences in office. You think he's not intelligent? Just how dumb are you?

My only hope is that he helps this country put down the Israeli threat within and without. They want to take over and make this a backwards nation. If Chris wants a backwards nation, he would be wise to move to Israel. Then he can develop the mentality of a caveman. Come to think of it, cave men were probably smarter. If you want to lead a backwards nation, Israel is the place to go. Americans don't want a backwards nation. Israelis want America to become backwards. That's why so many Jewish doctors and Stern and his associates pushed drugs on Anna Nicole Smith. They don't know how to make money, they have to steal it because they are backwards. Chris would be wise to verbally bash his real enemy, Stern and men like Stern who hate all non-Jews and especially Christians and semitic Arabs.

53. Funny and smart. I love him!!

Hey Craphound -- As long as he votes, he has a right to bitch.

54. Dear Mr. Rock,

You need to be more politically correct, the word is mentally challenged. And by the way what about the word African-American?

Just asking?

55. Hey Rock go back to your "Free Bobby Brown" Campaign. He could probably use you again.

Lazy ass, non serving your Country no good movie making , Comedic has been. Hope you got the attention you couldnt get with a decent movie or funny show. I think you may have lost a good portion of whatever audience you still have.

56. You check the facts, stupid... the average SAT score for a white student is 1050 and 1080, depending on whose stats you use (males do better than females). Those students who attend more affluent high schools, of course, do much better. W certainly attended an affluent school -- W and his daddy attended Phillips Academy -- avg SAT score in 2005: 1388. And he was a legacy at Yale (thanks to daddy and granddaddy). Legacy might be a bit of an understatement as his granddaddy, Prescott, sat on the Yale Corporation, the body that governs the school. I suppose you could argue that he got into the MBA program on his own accord, but I would argue otherwise. Sure, he flew fighter jets -- just like his daddy did. And he may very well have run a baseball team, but he also ran several companies into the ground -- just like he's doing to our country. One last thing: he wasn't elected; he was selected -- he didn't win Florida in 2000 and he didn't win Ohio in 2004. Those are whole 'nother cans of worms not to be opened at this time, but... Chris Rock is the idiot for sharing his opinion when asked. OK.

57. And one last thing: Ozzie Osborne is a rock star -- not an "elected" politician.

58. It is unacceptable for white people to use "negative" terms against you African Americans so where do you get off using the word RETARD? Some of us have loved ones that are mentally handicap and that is as offensive to us as n*#@** is to your race. Watch your words jerk!!

59. Chris say something about Anna Nicole Smith's wannbe-boyfriend Howard Stern. I'd like to hear your take on that. If only because it will let us see who your callousness is directed at.

I'd also like to know if you've helped any disadvantage white children with any your money.

60. Rock is a dark queer. Is that pc enough? They think they can say anything but others of us have lost the freedom of speech. He is part of the Hate America First group. Just get the hell out.

Thank goodness Rock is nothing and in charge of nothing.

Go to rehab and stay there.
