TYT: Ed Asner's Anti 'Trickle Down' Video - Fox News Fury . [View all]



"An animated video, narrated by actor Ed Asner, from the California Federation of Teachers recently caused controversy for a scene where a wealthy man urinates on poor people.

Fox News host Sean Hannity sent one of his 'Hannity' producers to interview Asner about the video, but not before introducing Asner as a "radical left-wing Hollywood actor," reports Mediaite.com.

Asner said: "I don't remember a thing I said on it or a word I said on it, but I agreed to do it for California teachers. I approve this message."

The 'Hannity' producer said: "There's a part of it where it talks about things trickling down and they have rich people peeing on poor people."

Asner replied: "How disgusting. It should be reversed."

The 'Hannity' producer asked: "So you don't remember that?"

Asner answered: "Do you have any money? Can I p*ss on you?"*

Ed Asner voiced over a cartoon showing trickle-down theory (with the rich peeing on the poor) and commented back to a "Hannity" producer who tried to confront him on it. Fox News' hosts Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin reacted in typical fashion, calling him a thug in faux-outrage. Cenk Uygur breaks down how poor Sean Hannity is being intimidated by a big mean thug.
