:eyes:

kept that guv job thingy.

doesn't have a stupid opinion on? Anything? Has she commented on the inappropriateness of the kind of wine served?

The fact that they ignore her existence probably makes it worse.

:evilgrin:

I mean music is basically poetry set to a tune so the rapper is poet. He may not be a "traditional" (white) poet, but he is a poet nonetheless.
I wonder what sort of music palin listens to? Nazi march songs perhaps.

Y'know?

:evilgrin:

Poor Idiot Guv - she's relegated to jeering for attention. About all she deserves.

No one likes all poetry... musical styles... paintings, sculptures, etc. Gosh Ms. Palin... it's a great big world out there!

I bet she listens to Ted Nugent while flying around shooting wolves and stuff... creepy is as creepy does.

I'm sure Bible Spice loves to listen to Pat Boone, Lawrence Welk, Yakov Smirnoff, Jim Stafford, Andy Williams, The Osmonds and the rest of the Branson gang!

So that's why we shall vote in Rick Santorum, with his more tasteful lexicon "gay marriage will lead to man on dog"! :sarcasm:

But really, I can't believe how many people believe this kind of BS message (rapper! White House poetry thing! The horrors!). So who's a better poet? Tim McGraw? Justin Bieber? Contemporary Christian musicians?

... they're black?

Shocking... not.

What's the big deal?

which you know nothing about. just playing to her ignorant racist followers...

on Def Poetry. The RW crazy train is of the view that in the lyrics of this rap, Common called for George W. Bush to be "burn" (or be burned).

In other words, more BS.

she is against it

His rhymes stay away from violence and misogyny.

Of course, the Halfterm Halfwit saw "rapper" and immediately assumed he was a gangster. Here's the lyrics to his song "Be."

I want to be as free as the spirits of those who left
I'm talking Malcolm, Coltrane, my man Yusef
Through death-grew conception
New breath and resurrection
For moms, new steps in her direction
In the right way
Told inside is where the fight lay
And everything a nigga do may not be what he might say
Chicago nights stay, stay on the mind
But I write many lives and lay on these lines
Wave the signs of the times
Many say the grind's on the mind
Shorties blunted-eyed and everyone wanna rhyme
Bush pushing lies, killers immortalized
We got arms but won't reach for the skies
Waiting for the Lord to rise
I look into my daughter's eyes
And realize that I'm gonna learn through her
The Messiah, might even return through her
If I'm gonna do it, I gotta change the world through her
Furs and a Benz, gramps wanting 'em
Demons and old friends, pops they hauntin' him
The chosen one from the land of the frozen sun
When drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones
Walk like warriors, we were never told to run
Explored the world to return to where my soul begun
Never looking back or too far in front of me
The present is a gift
and I just wanna be

I was there, HE was about 30 feet away from our seats. He was AWESOME.


I guess he's allowed to perform for the people, but ain't allowed inside the White House?

--- am I the only one that hears that dog-whistle?

Fuck you, Palin.

:cry:

actually accomplishing anything of any significance on her own.

:shrug:


Though I guess he didn't shoot the deputy too.

just to watch him die?

Oh, wait. That was just a man in black, not a black man.

Pretty sure I remember Ice-T saying that Johnny Cash was the original gangsta rapper.

Here's the clip of those alleged sentiments:

It's actually a politically charged piece that speaks to the experience of some AAs with the police and does not advocate killing cops.

it seems like everytime I dare to turn on his show, he's focused on some kind of "radical" person that the Obamas know, have met, are affiliated with, etc. He has this unknown woman on his show whenever he's having these conversations and some other guy whom they're repeatedly hitting over the head with all of this (must be Alan Colmes' stand-in punching bag? :shrug:) To Hannity, anybody he doesn't like is apparently too racially divisive, too radical and that Obama is committing some kind of grave travesty. God, I think that I actually hate Hannity slightly more than Limbaugh (his icon). :puke:

Oh, and what's this, more hypocrisy from Fox courtesy of Media Matters: http://mediamatters.org/blog/201105100018

Turns out they actually praised this guy before.

keeps chasing the limelight. Palin continues trying to regain those glorious days of yore when every bellow and shriek from her was covered by the media. :rofl:

... the way she has no problem with staking out the opposite position on everything Obama does and is associated with.

"ignorant, screaming, has-been, voice screeching, has-been guv" was not at the top of the invitation list....

Stand Strong on these Assholes

Honestly, they are SOOO scrood when the younguns take over.

Palin and Hannity want THEIR America back.......

Just happens that I don't like THEIR America.....

me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me ..well you get the idea.

Yes, I do see this is racialized.

if they're not happy about a black man being President they aren't going to be happy about this.

Ms. Mooselini should try black metal and death metal. That's mostly performed by white folks and it makes rap sound like Sunday school.

"controversy" - as only he can. See this thread and do take a look at the video: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1087587

It's well worth it.

Once again, an epic Palin FAIL! If it's a Republican and its lips are moving, it's a hypocrite.

and challenged Jon Stewart to a debate about the topic. Jon has accepted and I'll be watching O'Reilly's show for the first time ever on Monday night. I know this sounds like satire but it's true. Jon is going to shred him

What's she going to do once Obama is out of office? The focus of her hate/life will be gone.

I listened to hannity on Tues. bitching and moaning about this(for about 15 minutes,I couldn't take more than that).
he and others like him believe in freedom of speech as long as the speech agrees with them.I say screw them all.
I work around people who used to rant that "problems started when they took religion out of schools"--but when I ask if they minded when Jewish,Muslim,Wiccan,etc. lead prayers they acted offended.only white southern baptist for them.
My point is, relax,it takes all kinds to make up this world of ours. These morons provide much entertainment value.Enjoy baiting them so they can foam at the mouth.I think they enjoy doing it.
Rant over,see ya.

Nor are they saying anything about that guy being essentially a pedophile.
