Chuck Woolery: We don't need civil rights (and I'm discriminated against as a 1%er)

Asshat Of The Day - Chuck Woolery

"Majority rules. We were born with natural rights. We don't need civil rights. [African-Americans] don't need civil rights. They don't need them. They have inalienable rights granted by God in the Constitution. I mean, I'm discriminated against all the time. I don't care. It doesn't bother me. [I'm discriminated against] because I'm old. I'm too old to get a job as a game show host. They say, well, the guy's 71 and in five years he'll be 76. And I’m a one per center, and I'm absolutely discriminated against as a one per center." - Chuck Woolery, speaking today at CPAC. (Via Michelangelo Signorile)

I suspect there may be another reason nobody wants him to host a gameshow other then his age.

1%ers, he hasn't a clue as to the level it takes to be one. It's a trick of the very top to want the lessers to think they're one of them so they can get them to do the dirty work. I'm sure Woolery isn't hurting for money but the real 1% wouldn't let him clean their toilet let alone use it.

who have been urged out of the closet by Sean Hannity, their leader

I think even Mitt has had trouble with the 'I dont appologise for being successful' as rubbing even some republicans the wrong way

'dont hate me because i'm beautiful' may sell hair color to sorority girls, but it doesnt sell representation to tired and worried middle aged people

if you 'have it all' and feel you've 'earned it all', then STFU and enjoy it, and leave those who's probelms you dont understand alone,and it least quit whining about taxes until your taxes rise to the point where you pay a percent AS HIGH as everyone else
