Morgan Freeman Lashes Out at GOP Ad for Libeling His Voice

It's Election Day, and after countless political ads leading up to this moment, there's one that has Morgan Freeman fuming. In the battle for the fourth district of North Carolina, Republican candidate B.J. Lawson ran an ad against his Democrat counterpart Rep. David Price which his team originally claimed was Freeman's voice, but the Oscar winner strongly denies it.

"These people are lying," Freeman said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "I have never recorded any campaign ads for B.J. Lawson and I do not support his candidacy. And, no one who represents me ever has ever authorized the use of my name, voice or any other likeness in support of Lawson or his candidacy." Watch, Listen and Decide:

Lawson's camp quickly scrambled after Freeman denied their claim, blaming the production company for the error in an interview with CNN.

"We're apologizing to Congressman Price, to the voters, and most of all to Morgan Freeman because this is not the campaign we wanted to run, and not the campaign we have run," spokesman Martin Avila said.

Politicians say any damn thing they want or do any damn thing they want, and true or not they are not held accountable.

For all you stupid people blaming Obama for everything, where in the world were you for 8 years when Bush was spending, spending, spending like a drunken sailor ????????? Where was your misguided worry about the national debt, the deficit, the unemployment, millions of Americans without health insurance and Wall Street laughing all the way to their offshore banks with your money ?????????????? Probably with your head buried in the sand so you wouldn't have to think. And why would you ever want to use your God given brains to think for yourself when you have the so called phony patriots foaming at the mouth and spewing hate, ignorance and racism that you so easily accept !!!!! And now some phony pundits like alcoholic Beck, the drug addict
Dumbaugh spew hateful words and you are so fired up. Do you know Beck was a pony tail liberal until he figured out how to laugh all the way to the bank at your expense by simply spewing hate, ignorance and racisim because he knows how conservatives are too stupid to think for themselves !!!!!!!!!! The joke is on you morons but you are too stupid to figure that out while Beck clearly knows that and that is why he keeps laughing all the way to his bank.

AMEN!!

You know I love that about Democrats. Still whining about what happened 8 years ago while ignoring what is going on right now. Obama has put us 5 TRILLION in debt in just two years! Pelosi promised to have a balanced budget, it's on video. You Obamacrats need to wake up. The last two years of the Bush Admin. there was a Democratic controlled Congress and caused most of the grief we are now facing.

We were making money, unlike now.

Vote Democrat. Save America!!!

By donpandanell

Yeah right, I am much better off now then when the Republicans were in control. 6 years of democrats have busted my 401K, put my great grandchildren in debt for the rest of their lives. Now is the time for you to scream "Bush did it".

By Cattani

Poor kid. You're going to be very, very disappointed.

By tacapa

A politician would not know the truth if it hit him between the eyes!!!
Its amazing how many people fall for their BS!!!!!!
One party is not any better than the other.

I am praying for my country today!!!!!

By S

Say, that'll be useful. Before you go down on your knees, did you at least research your candidates and vote? Or are you a sheeple voting the way Saint Sara of Alaska tells you to vote?

By rmadashell

Its funny how people keep blaming Bush for everything thats wrong. Democrats are the ones who ruin this country. the only ones who don't know it still have there heads up each others azz. you guys are sad.

By jacqueline

Excuse me, sir, but didn't President Bush inherit a surplus from President Clinton? If he had not gone on a spending and cutting spree, we would not have the meltdown that occurred. Also, the total de-regulation of the financial industry happened during Bush's term, which was 8 yrs. How can President Obama straighten out his mess in less than 2 yrs? The entire economy collapsed under the Bush administration.

I don't care if they are democrat or republican, I trust none of them. Having said that, I do believe in having different parties in power in the White House and in the Congress. The "ins" can do less damage that way. And as far as the minority party, it is their responsibility to question all that the majority party does, right or wrong, in order to keep the system from going too far one way or the other. I also believe that there are those that speak with too much anger on both sides, and we all suffer because reasonable discourse is the only way to solve problems.

By Lee

Are you kidding me? The Republicans have been running this country into the ground since "W" was awarded, but didn't win, te presidency. They took 8 long years to screw everything up and you expect Obama to fix in in under 2 years with NO COOPERATION from the Rebublicans?
