Morgan Freeman: Conservatives STOLE My Voice!!!
http://www.tmz.com/2011/07/26/morgan-freeman-conservative-ad-campaign-wisconsin-citizens-for-a-strong-america-video/

It might sound a heck of a lot like Morgan Freeman -- but the actor is adamant ... he did NOT lend his soothing voice to a dramatic right-wing ad campaign in Wisconsin.



You've got to see the video - it's just like one of his narratives from Shawshank. Repukes are pathetic. How many things do they have to steal?????

2. Sue their asses off, Easy Reader!!!
Yeah, I know you don't like being reminded of it, but I loved that character on Electric Company.
I used to go home after high school and watch that show with my 3-year old sister.

And my sister remembers watching you brag about how cool it was to read books.
And she is an avid reader to this day.
So maybe you should rethink not liking being remembered as the man who instilled reading as a cool thing for a whole generation.

Hell, that would have been a great legacy to have right there, if your career would have ended after you left that program.

3. I do a pretty good James Earl Jones
Maybe I could get some work. I wouldn't take it of course, except to ruin the recording sessions with my Barry White voice.

12. I once was a production on a TV show he was in...I'll never forget when...
he was perusing a table filled with donuts and pastries.

He looked at it, and said "Ahhhhh. Looks like Dunkin Donuts" as a little offhanf joke.

Anyone else saying it would have been instantly forgotten. But hearing it in that booming Darth Vader baritone was startling, and funny.

4. Not quite deep enough, but has the cadence down
I hope he sues the living crap out of them, just like every artist (save Ted Nugent) has been doing to keep them from using copyrighted music for campaign rallies.

8. How many things must they steal? Everything
They are so afraid they have nothing, they will steal everything.

It's sort of like the Christian saying...what profit a person if they gain the whole world but lose their immortal soul?

10. Probably got the idea from our tv ads here in the UK
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTDyDQJzHQk&feature=relmfu

However in our case I've no doubt the Morgan Freeman licenced them to do so.

16. I'd like to tell you that Scott Walker put up a good fight and the sisters let him be,
I'd like to tell you that, but prison is no fairy tale.
