Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:

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 killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can
kill 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, that is why there are
no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA
BURKE?

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 your sorry ass 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 hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know pro wrestling is fake, 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 sick 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...
THEN DON'T PASS IT ON!!

Uh, I actually watched that episode he referred to so it is a VERIFIED

Why would anyone disagree with the sentiment or the fact that he could, or
actually did say that? All of it?

You remember the date it aired??
I would love to see the transcript of that, and I do believe that 60
minutes does sell transcripts of all of their episodes.

> actually did say that? All of it?

Because I don't think CBS would let anyone on a "News Program" say
"shoot your sorry ass", editorial or not. At least I didn't find it on
the 60 minutes site for andy rooney
(http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60minutes/rooney/main3419.shtml)

Not that Andy Rooney isn't a loose cannon though, I just don't think he
could get away with something THAT controversial, especially with all
the heat CBS news has been taking lately. Interesting side note, i
went to www.andyrooney.com which links to a porn site
snopes.com is a pretty cool site, love to dispel all the urban legends
there, almost as much fun as watching Mythbusters!

Well, he didn't say it. Parts of his comments were used, and he made
some derogatory comments about France, but this entire thing is
attributed to hime and he didn't say it.

I don't care who agree's with it, and I'm not saying I don't, just
that Andy Rooney didn't say what is quoted here.

No I don't care if he said it, but he didn't... That's the point.
I would care if someone attributed quotes from me that were incorrect.
Don't you have someone right in here pretending to be you? Do you like
explaining to people that you didn't say what they thought you said?

I got that same Andy Rooney "quote" in an e-mail and it was attributed
to Ted Nugent, which is also bogus. Just annoys me to see
misinformation spread.

Well, if I believed everything I read on the internet, I would have
believed your incorrect quote since I read it here.

Since it's not the type of thing that makes the newspaper, yes, I did
read on the internet that the quote is incorrect. That site happens to
be a bit more reputable than you, so I'm trusting them. LOL

I don't care who made the quote, it's true down to the last word. Get over the racism of being a ''MINORITY''. If you don't like that we speak english here,,,,,MOVE.. If you want to go to college, stay in school and don't stand on the corner selling crack. Stop using EXCUSES saying you were a slave just so you can be a freeloader in our society. WORK for your own future and stop having me pay for you.
