Actor Jon Hamm: The Tea Party Is “Racist” (VIDEO)
Actor Jon Hamm said that the “Luo tribesman” statement was racist. “That’s what it’s all sort of couched in … that’s the secret agenda.” He then added this: “When they say [Obama] is a ‘Luo tribesman,’ it’s all sort of code.”
Fellow guest Martha Raddatz agreed with Hamm. “That’s the message there … that Obama’s ‘exotic,’” she said. “[That] there’s something ‘different’ about him than the rest of us.”
Hamm finished up the “racism” discussion with a jab at conservatives. He said that the Tea Party keeps taking about “taking back” America. “Well,” he said, “who are ‘we’ taking it back from?” Hamm then concluded with this remark: “I’m pretty sure … ‘we’ as Americans still have America. I don’t know who ‘we’ need to take it back from.” The crowd applauded when he was done.
Meanwhile, a fan tries to get Far From the Madding ‘Mad Men’ Crowd. As usual, the Wall Street Journal has the best recap of last week’s episode, The Beautiful Girls; the conversation compares the episode to The Women.
Was it The Women?
