Andy Rooney Never Censored

Andy Rooney was one in a million. At the end of '60 Minutes' he usually had his own 10 minute segment that, unbelievably, was never censored by CBS.
He's probably the only one who could have gotten away with this. May he rest in peace.


I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America.

Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America, and see what happens......Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Guns do not make you a k**ler. I think k*****g makes you a k**ler. You can k**l someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed.

Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.

I have the right 'NOT' to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or stop' in English, see the above lines.

I don't think just because you were not born In this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don't h**e the rich; I don't pity the poor.

I know pro wrestling is f**e, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say 'NO!'

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am s**k of 'Political Correctness.' I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be 'African-Americans'? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe.

I am proud to be from America and nowhere else, and if you don't like my point of view, tough...?.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE F**G, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time under-standing why there is such a problem in having 'In God We Trust' on our money and having 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to BE QUIET!!!

Andy Rooney Never Censored br br Andy Rooney was ... (show quote)

Snip>>The text quoted above was too reactionary in tone even for the acerbic Rooney, and the language used didn’t sound like him. (“Shoot your sorry ass” just wasn’t the kind of phrase Andy Rooney employed on television.) Just to be thorough, we checked the transcripts of all of Andy Rooney’s 60 Minutes pieces from the previous ten years, and nothing like this item turned up among them.

Moreover, Andy Rooney himself denied that this polemic originated with him, saying in 2003 that:

About a year ago, I became aware of a more serious theft of my name and it is so hurtful to my reputation that it calls for legal action against the thief. Hundreds of people have written asking if I really wrote the 20 detestable remarks made under my name that have had such wide circulation on the Internet.

Some of the remarks, which I will not repeat here, are viciously r****t and the spirit of the whole thing is nasty, mean and totally inconsistent with my philosophy of life. It is apparent that the list of comments has been read by hundreds of thousands of Americans, many of whom must believe that it accurately represents opinions of mine that I don’t dare express in my column or on television. It is seriously damaging to my reputation.


So did you guys think that if you hijacked Andy Rooney that it would lend credibility to your positions? Well, what does it say when you have to make up support for how you believe? If your beliefs can stand without creating f**e support from a dead Icon than your beliefs are a load of crap!

But hey, don't let me rain on your parade of lies. You guys go ahead and pat yourselves on the back and stand in glory under that phony ideology you profess. How wonderful you must feel...

Oh, and since I am busting people who post crap that come to them in their e-mail--which is where I assume you got this crap--why not take ten seconds and verify what you post. I know all your friends will believe this but it really would be much more powerful to post the t***h then it is to post a pile of bulls**t...

The "AMEN" was to the words of wisdom, no matter the source.

Whether he said those thing or not, I agree with each sentiment. Dang, I with I had been the first to pen those lines and I'd be proud of it.

It affirms what they already think. This is why this type of propaganda is so effective with conservatives...affirmation over confirmation. Works every time...

I'm sure you do. On Facebook, I busted someone on a Washington quote and she said the same thing--it's how I believe so if he had had a chance he would have said it. It mattered not that the belief was a lie nor that it challenged their belief system--if you have to make up crap to support how you believe then how you believe is likely a pile of crap.

You people are absolutely nuts. Rooney never said what you attributed to him so the source is a lie. If you are building your ideology on a lie how is it you think it is going to be able to stand?

I simply had agreed with the prior post. If you h**e America, why don't you move? I think Cuba or Venezuela are much more to you're liking.
