He accuses the people supporting Donald Trump of being racists and that media promotes the message for ratings. When called out on it by one of the commentators, he back tracked a bit and said it was some of the people and not all.  Reiner conveniently overlooked the fact that Hillary Clinton has called young black people “super-predators” and that she, just a few days ago, said that Donald Trump “fell off the reservation”.  She recently  laughed along with NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio’s racist joke about being late because he was on “colored people time”. He was quick enough to talk about people in the KKK allegedly supporting Trump but he conveniently forgot how she was a good friend of Senator Robert Byrd, a leader in the KKK, who was eulogized at his funeral by none other than President Barack Obama himself.

Do Democrats like Reiner even know the history of the Democrat Party? That during the Civil War, every Democrat state sided with the South. That the Democrats created the KKK. That  Democrats voted to repeal the 1st Amendment and they voted against the 13th, 14th, & 15th Amendments? That they were against the Civil Rights acts in the 1960s and that they were behind the Jim Crow laws; yet Democrat political activist Rob “Meathead” Reiner could not recall any of that. He could only remember that some guy showed up at a Trump rally with a tattoo bearing a swastika. He did not have a picture nor a clip of that man in his allegation.

Rob Reiner’s father is Carl Reiner. Carl Reiner was one of the biggest names in television for decades. As an actor/writer/director/producer he found success on television like “The Dick Van Dyke” show and  in comedy films such as “The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!” and  the Steve Martin vehicle “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid”. If it wasn’t for ratings his father would not have had a job nor the $ucce$$ he had. Rob Reiner followed in his dad’s footsteps, becoming an actor, a writer, a director, and a  producer. His films include the hits, “Stand By Me”, “When Harry Met Sally”, “A Few Good Men”, “Misery”, “The Princess Bride”, and “This is Spinal Tap”. Prior to these films, he himself was on a huge hit show for years called “All in The Family”.

On “All in The Family” he played Michael Stivic, the liberal son-in-law of  Carroll O’Connor’s bigoted yet lovable curmudgeon Archie Bunker, the lead character of the show who went on to have his own show called “Archie’s Place”. The irony of Rob Reiner’s accusation is that for years he was on a show that would not be on the air today because of its controversial episodes and dialogue. The show would be deemed racist today because it explored racism, used the “N” word often, and brought attention to other social, political, and economic issues. That’s what being politically incorrect does. It brings attention to issues and it creates dialogue to address these issues. Shutting people up with political correctness and shaming them with guilt that they are not guilty of is not the way to solve things. By the way, it was a high rated that won a lot of Emmys and spawned spin-offs like the aforementioned “Archie’s Place”, “Maude” and “The Jeffersons” (another hit show that was just as funny as its parent show and just as politically incorrect).

From 1971-1981 Rob Reiner was married to Penny Marshall, sister of another big name in television Garry Marshall . In that time period, Garry Marshall  was the show-runner of such shows as “The Odd Couple”, “Happy Days”, and a few spin-offs from “Happy Days” like “Laverne & Shirley”, “Joanie Loves Chachi” and “Mork & Mindy”. Ms. Marshall portrayed sportswriter Oscar Madison’s secretary on “The Odd Couple” and in one episode, Rob Reiner played her boyfriend. She played Laverne DeFazio on “Happy Days” and played her again in “Laverne & Shirley”. Most of these shows explored social issues and would probably be accused of political incorrectness today. All of these shows were hit shows (except for “Joanie Loves Chachi”). Ratings made them hits, ratings made a lot of people money, from the people on the show to the television networks and the advertisers.

Ratings do that. That’s how revenue is generated. No ratings? No show! No audience? No show. No show? NO MONEY. Even the news stations know that, which is why news programs around the world sensationalize news items and the people viewing it fall for it, hook, line, and sinker.

Last month was the first time in 14 years that CNN beat FOX overall. Why; because Donald Trump refused to go on Fox after the way some of its employees (i.e. Megyn Kelly) treated him. Trump boycotted Fox and went on CNN. CNN even did a special on him recently that aired prior to the Republican Debate that same night. Why? RATING$. Although CNN finally beat FOX (again, because of Trump) Fox Business News was the highest rated, beating MSNBC and other channels. People turn in when Trump is on more so than when Hillary Clinton is on or when President Obama is on. Hillary doesn’t get that attention THE Donald does. The media knows it.  He gets the views. FOX has learned its lesson. They are negotiating with the Trump camp to have Megyn Kelly interview the eventual Republican candidate for president in a FOX special. Donald Trump sells out arenas, where Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supporters show up to cause trouble. None of Reiner’s alleged “Trump racist supporters” have done that at a Hillary or a Sanders rally. Hillary Clinton barely gets people to show up for her at airports as it is.

 
So yes MEATHEAD–it’s all about the ratings!

Major League Baseball was founded in 1903.  It wasn’t until April 15, 1947 when the color barrier was broken. After all of those years, you can easily argue that “it was time” for a black man to play baseball although some people still weren’t ready for it.  Knowing that,  The Brooklyn Dodgers’ did not just grab any black baseball player to be their new second baseman. They scouted and found a man who could play the position and play it well. A man who was just as good offensively as he was defensively and who could run the bases with the best of them. A man who was as tough on the inside as he was on the outside. A man named  Jackie Robinson. So when it came to “breaking the barrier”, a qualified person was found and selected to play for them, and he produced. Credibility was key in breaking the racial barrier.

The Liberal Democrat party likes to state in its rhetorical dialogue that “it’s time (for this or that)”. It’s time for a black president; it’s time for a woman; it’s time for a one- legged- blue -clad -circus -clown- from- the planet -Klingon, whatever, whomever. Ok. Sure. I don’t have a problem with that; but can we get qualified people please? President Obama, a community organizer who barely showed up as a Senator, eloquently sweet talked his way to get elected. He has flip-flopped on a lot of issues while the economy has seen a slow growth in his administration and he has made some highly critical decisions that some have called treasonous.  Blaming things on his predecessor is a weak excuse. If you get a new job and are replacing another person, your new boss doesn’t want to hear you whine about your job; your new employer wants you to fix things and get the job done. That standard should also apply to the President. Obama knew what he was up against when he ran for the position; he was getting stuck with the decisions of those before him much like our next President knows that he or she will have to deal with Obama’s errors and there have been plenty. Obama gave $535 million of economic stimulus/tax payer money to SOLYNDRA for what? Solar batteries that never came to be. That deceitful company soon went bankrupt.  Not just that, but since he’s taken office 46 million people in America are on food stamps. That’ s more people than the population of Denmark, Greece, Norway, Portugal and Sweden combined. That’s 5 countries worth of people! How he can just shrug that off and go play golf all the time with those numbers is extremely disheartening. Even the Obama girl burned her shirt and regretted supporting this man as have many others. I can get into so much more about his failures which have outnumbered his successes but it’s a waste of time because we’re all just going to get angry about it and besides, there will be plenty of articles looking back at his multiple failures and errors. For crying out loud, even the Nobel Peace Prize Committee asked him to return the award they gave him.

If it’s all about “breaking barriers” for the Liberal Democrat party, then they should take note of the way The Brooklyn Dodgers ended racial segregation in the major leagues with Jackie Robinson. If “it’s time for a woman” as many Leftists proclaim it is, then simply elect a candidate who is qualified. It’s a no brainer. We don’t need figureheads. Don’t just pick Hillary because she’s Hillary. She really hasn’t done anything great as a New York Senator and she really hasn’t done anything great as Secretary of State. She’s rude and crass to reporters and to US citizens asking her fair questions about legitimate concerns. She either tap dances around the questions or ignores it with contempt, if she’s not busy yelling at the person asking the question that is. She STILL hasn’t addressed the questions of why she referred to young black people as “super predators” and she has the gall now to say all whites are racists? This is what she is running on? More divisiveness and her hypocrisy?  She certainly hasn’t seemed presidential yelling the way she has been at Senator Bernie Sanders. I ‘ve been expecting the camera to focus in on Bill Clinton when Hillary yells at Bernie so I can read Bill’s face and I know what I would see–Bill looking at Bernie and thinking: “I feel your pain Bernie, I feel your pain”. Her husband President Bill Clinton has been publicly  criticizing President Obama while  SHE says she will carry on Obama’s policies…WHAT?! Well what is it then Hillary? Do the Clintons support Obama’s policies or not?

Bill Clinton felt that the “race card” was played against Hillary when Obama ran for President, stealing the nomination from Hillary. Maybe Obama did. Maybe her time was then because it certainly isn’t now.

Hillary comes with a lot of baggage. The scandals attached to her and Bill since Hillary got kicked off of the Nixon-Watergate scandal for her lack of ethics and fraudulent legal brief alone would disqualify so many other candidates several times over, probably even have gotten them jail time but no, she and her impeached husband continue to get a free pass because  of who they are. “It’s time for Hillary”, sage wise people like Robert DeNiro have suggested.  No Bobby, it’s not.  It’s time for someone else. Someone who won’t be so incompetent, who doesn’t come with all this baggage, who is qualified, and has credibility. Someone who won’t have another scandal, or two, or 47, lurking around the next day that would be another national embarassment. Jackie Robinson faced adversity. With what he brought to organized baseball with his talent, skills, and leadership he earned respect and credibility because he deserved it. The man was worthy. He was qualified. He proved to himself and the world that it was time for him.

Hillary has not. She’s had plenty of opportunity and chances but she has not proved to be qualified to be President as many Democrats have pointed out. Don’t say they haven’t because many Democrat voters have either voted for Sanders or have switched parties to vote for Donald Trump.

It’s time for Hillary to go away.
