Dumb-ass game show host, Chuck Woolery, best known for hosting such TV pablum as Love Connection, Scrabble, and Lingo, is also a radical, rightwinger. Who knew?
Huffington Post caught up to Woolery at the CPAC convention on Friday where he expressed his views on civil rights. He slammed the recent Prop 8 court ruling which determined the anti-marriage equality proposition was unconstitutional and said gays don’t need civil rights. In fact, he believes African-Americans need no civil rights.
“Majority rules. We were born with natural rights. We don’t need civil rights. African-Americans don’t need civil rights. They don’t need them. They have inalienable rights granted by God in the Constitution. I mean, I’m discriminated against all the time. I don’t care. It doesn’t bother me. I’m discriminated against because I’m old. I’m too old to get a job as a game show host. They say, well, the guy’s 71 and in five years he’ll be 76. And I’m a one per center, and I’m absolutely discriminated against as a one per center.”
Other rightwing Republican game show hosts include Wheel of Fortune’s Pat Sajak, Price is Right’s Drew Carey, and Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek.
Have you ever heard Chuck Woolery speak? He’s a moron who probably dropped out of junior high school.
People like this should be targeted for boycott.
I bet few know Chuck Woolery, Drew Carey and Pat Sajak are wingers. They don’t belong on TV and they certainly don’t deserve their multimillion dollar salaries.
Woolery is a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal.
Chuck Woolery is still alive?
I feel sorry for the a$$hole.
Very troubling indeed. As a healthcare provider, I see on a daily basis the economic and emotional issues women — especially poor women, face from lack of access to safe contraception. I long ago concluded President Obama does not lead from an inner core of strength but from sticking his finger in the wind to see which way the political winds are blowing. As a college educated, professional woman, I am appalled by Obama’s “Hawaii compromise.” He just keeps disappointing me. I mean, can you imagine Hillary Clinton folding her hand the way President Obama folded his? Not likely.
Another… Dumb, mother-f**king christian asshole………….

Apparently this douche nozzle doesn’t need a brain.
all together now: Awwwwwwwwwwww
Poor Chuck is discriminated against as an old 1%.
Effing Pity, Eh?
MLK jr is probably turning in his grave– Didn’t need civil rights?
Woolery lived during the 60’s civil rights movement.
I guess he must have lived in a sheltered life w blinders.
Maybe he does not support same sex marriage because he is on his FOURTH WIFE!
He needs to keep the field open??
Margaret Hayes (1961–71)
Jo Ann Pflug (1972–80)
Teri Nelson (1985–2004)
Kim Barnes (2006— )
He’s a douchebag from Arkansas. What do you expect?
I think I understand what he’s trying to say but the sloppy way Woolery expressed it makes him sound like a country club conservative — which he is.
People like Chuck Woolery need to zip it before they hang themselves.
I would not put Drew Carey in the same category as Sajak and Woolery. Carey had the guts to get off the Bush bandwagon when it was clear that a boy was sent to do a man’s job. He is right of center but not some neo con jerk
Chuck is clearly articulating that ” We don’t need the “Governments Approval” for something that we all share, guaranteed by the US Constitution; Equlity and the Right to the Pursuit of Happiness -Our God given rights as Americans and the human race.
It’s an concept, not reality. Special legislation and political pandering will not change history and the reality that we live in.
Chuck is not diminishing the history of oppression, discrimination and inequality that exist in reality. The assumption that his comments are degrading to any minority, because he’s a white conservative are a misinterpretation of his honorable intentions.
You leftists are communists/facsists/morons. ‘Nuff said!
Do you even understand what he said. I doubt it because of your answers.
Jo Ann Pflug left him for a black man, anyone know?
