‘Cuz Blacks Are Too Fuckin’ Broke To Be Republican
At last count, Barack Obama has publicly repudiated Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe, Wayne Williams, Michael Jackson, and the entire starting five of the 1966 Texas Western basketball team. But is that enough? Aw hellz naw, says Evan Gahr at Human Events. Sure, there’s a horrible war, and the economy is in the toilet, and no one can afford health care, and gas rationing and food riots are just around the corner, but what’s foremost in Evan’s mind? In order to even be considered for leadership of the free world, Obama must denounce all rappers:
Although the media has finally exposed Barack Obama’s ties to the unhinged pastor his support from rappers who propagate equally pernicious nonsense has gone almost entirely unnoticed.
Quick, someone bust a 12-bar containing the phrase ‘propagate equally pernicious nonsense’. I’m going to compose a letter to Mr. Gahr explaining the difference between not noticing something and not caring about it. Meanwhile, back to the article:
Rappers are gaga over Obama. The superstar Jay-Z, who raps about “b——,” “hoes” and “n—–,“ even urged voters to support Obama in a robo-call for the March 4 Ohio primary and caucus.
I think it’s sorta curious that “bitch” and “nigga” get blanked out, but “ho” gets left intact. Not that this says anything at all about Mr. Gahr’s psychological makeup, goodness no.
The equally foul-mouthed rapper Will.I.am, whose hit songs include “I love my B—-,” has hyped Obama in two widely-viewed videos posted on YouTube.
Do you know why they’re widely viewed, Evan? Because people like them. All hail the free market, right buddy?
The rappers have good reason to praise Obama. He has at times been an apologist for their “music.”
In an incredibly moving show of restraint, Gahr waits until the fourth paragraph to refer to rap as ‘music’ (in scare-quote marks), and even more astonishingly, does not say “they should call it CRAP music!” at all. Clearly we are dealing with a rare cultural mind here.
His complicity with rappers dates back to at least 2006.
That’s right, America: Barack Obama — the man who dares suggest he is fit to lead our nation! — has in fact been an accomplice, if not an outright co-conspirator, to multiple counts of aiding and abetting hip-hop, going as far back as two years! It’s a wonder he’s not on death row, let alone serving as a United States Senator.
Obama even recorded a voice over for a new album out this June from rapper Q-tip. Will it contain lyrics like these sonnets from another Q-tip song? “Close the door, ‘ight let a n—- rock. Cause we ‘bout to eat real s—, not s— slop.” Who are these members of Obama’s amen corner? Many are the industry’s leading lights, who have become rich and famous thanks to the willingness of liberals like Obama to ignore or excuse their glorification of sexism, drugs and violence. Without this kind of collaboration they would just be unemployed thugs instead of millionaires.
Yeah, when I think of thuggish, violent crackhead street criminals, my mind instantly turns to Q-Tip and Will.I.Am.
Obama thus far has equivocated on rappers. He has criticized their language, but adamantly refused to denounce the whole sordid genre as the unique cultural problem that it is.
This is pretty awesome: rap isn’t just devil jungle music created by vicious whitey-hating murderers, it is a unique cultural problem, unprecedented in the history of human endeavor, that should be uniformly denounced by everyone, especially if they happen to be colored.
“I haven’t just singled out rappers,” Obama told Al Sharpton’s National Action Network conference last year, according to the New York Observer. “I’ve said I’ve heard those words [used by rappers] around the kitchen table in some homes. I hear them in the barber shop. I hear them on the basketball court. All of us have been complicit in diminishing ourselves.”
As an aside here, can you imagine the right’s reaction if Obama discussed the way white people talk when they’re alone with other white people, talking about blacks or women, and said that they have been complicit in diminishing the white race?
Obama here relies on the pro-forma defense of rap music. Yes, apologists say, it’s racist and sexist but it only reflects the racism and sexism of society. Oh, really? Where else but rap do folks talk so openly and regularly about b——, n—— and hoes? What other industry makes millions of dollars from those words? Obama says he’s heard this kind of language on the basketball court. Which one? Not any NBA game. Players who curse during games are suspended and fined.
I’m not even sure how to start with this one. Gahr is suggesting, here, that only in rap songs do young black males curse, because in NBA games, you can get fined for it! And where else would blacks play basketball except in the NBA? Nowhere that Evan Gahr has ever heard of!
Where else but rap do you hear words like these from Obama supporter Jay-Z in his song “99 Problems?”
Now once upon a time not long ago
A n—- like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of having a p—
But a p—- having no God Damn sense
Going for the Wingnut Trifecta of Stupid, Ignorant and Misguided, Gahr here quotes, as evidence of hip-hop’s misogyny, a line from Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” that is actually about men. Well done, thou good and faithful servant.
Have any rappers donated to his campaign? Will he return the money?
It takes courage to demand the return of entirely theoretical money. But that’s just how we roll at Human Events, dog.
UPDATE: Thanks to alert reader/ashamed mother Mary Ruppert, we can now report that Brent “Walter Peck” Bozell has jumped on the “Barack Obama must publicly denounce all rappers” bandwagon. He has also brought us this vital piece of information:
Jay-Z also tells critics to kiss his whole (rectum).
MOBILIZE THE NATIONAL GUARD!
adamantly refused to denounce the whole sordid genre
Next up? when will Hillary denounce the whole sordid genre that is womyn’s music?
And what of McCain and the virulent genre of southern blues rock?
Dana Rohrbacher is still silent on the dgenerate genre that is surf guitar.
Bobby Jindal has yet to denounce bangara. When will he?
Not only that, but I demand an apology for Orrin Hatch, John Ashcroft, and Karl Rove attempting to destroy music.
In 1750, the Waltz was the devil’s music, and there ain’t nuttin’ whiter than that. I demand that white folks renounce and denounce this appalling fad, not to mention that they pronounce and announce their disgust with this sordid genre.
I won’t rest until Obama denounces not Wayne Williams, but Wayne Brady! That man is an obamanation. He’s like the bastard love child of Nipsy Russell and Carleton Banks.
Look, just fucking turn white, and then we’ll talk.
Sigh…
We can only hope that if Obama wins the presidency, fucksticks like Evan here will flee the country and form a pouty, ineffective wingnut-government-in-exile somewhere.
An interesting question: since Obama is half-white, does he also have to apologize for Eminem, 3rd Bass and El-P? Or does that task fall to Bill Clinton?
That’s just too stupid for words.
And I don’t even like rap.
The wingnuts have a simple goal: to force Barack Obama to renounce the very crime of existence committed by every single colored person on planet Earth.
That’s all they want. And until that happens, every single crime any black, mixed race, mulatto, high yella or ethnic person has perceived to have perpetrated against God-Fearing White Folk will be hung around his neck so he can be strung up by it from a nearby lynchin’ tree.
He’s gonna have to work overtime on that, I’m sure.
Bobby Jindal doesn’t have to denounce anything. He’s a token minority Rethug, so he’s clean by definition, don’cha know?
I just had to comment on this bit of idiocy from Ghar:
Except that it was liberals like Tipper Gore who called for things like warning labels on CDs with explicit content. And when they did, wingnuts like Ghar cried censorship. Must be nice to be able to invent arbitrary Catch-22s to snare liberals with at every turn.
Has John McCain apologized for his slave-owning ancestors? Or the actions of fellow Panamanian Manuel Noriega? Or any of the sundry naughty things done by Scots-Irish?
Shorter entire right wing retard-o-sphere:
“Can’t you see that man is a n—“?!
“Next up? when will Hillary denounce the whole sordid genre that is womyn’s music?
And what of McCain and the virulent genre of southern blues rock?”
Oh, you silly, silly man, those musicians are “real Americans” the rap music is only 3/5ths American.
“Many are the industry’s leading lights, who have become rich and famous thanks to the willingness of liberals like Obama to ignore or excuse their glorification of sexism, drugs and violence.”
Uh, what? So people only listen to rap music because it hasn’t been denounced by enough liberals?
Republicans start wars, advocate torture, and bloat our budget.
Obama knows people who sing controversial lyrics.
If Obama wins and wins well (and my guess is IF he wins it won’t be narrow), I honestly wonder how wingnuts like this will cope. I really try to imagine how they’ll react and my mind can’t generate a plausible scenario because there’s only so much stupid I can simulate.
Yes, all bad things exist and thrive because liberals don’t do enough to denounce them.
When will B’rak Obam’Agh denounce Klingon opera?
He is without honor!
Who’s going to apologize to me for the horror that is Vanilla Ice? Huh?!?
Ghar has a point …
I mean, don’t you think … ?
Wait. No. He doesn’t.
He’s a douchebag.
Speaking of douchebaggery, I reviewed “Expelled” on my blog.
Obama is so non-bling he doesn’t even wear a flag pin. I like that in a prez.
Or any of the sundry naughty things done by Scots-Irish?
OK. I’m Scots-Irish. Sorta. Like four generations away. Anyway, I guess it falls to me.
I hereby denounce John McCain.
Sad news. L. Brent Bozell is no longer part of the culture war avant-garde. Obama and the Hip-Hop Problem. Note the publication date.
Q-Tip! Q-GetMeAMotherFuckingIcedTPleaseYouHonorableNubianPricess-Tip?
Q-Tip?! I’m on the ‘safe’ side of the hip-hop spectrum and I think Q-tip’s soft. Is that fucktard gonna rip on Arrested Development next? Or maybe Digital Underground. Maybe Mos Def. Jurrassic Five. I know! De La Soul. Total gangstas.
Good Jesus. My theory: I’s been 20 years since It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and only now does Whitey feel safe enough to come out. Gah.
I hope that next he can denounce the pernicious Muslim tendency to restrict the glorious freedoms of Western Culture which all right wingers appreciate so much.
I’m confused. Brent Bozo and his idiotic ilk complain and complain that the Oscars ignore popular movies (like NARNIA!!!!!!! and NARNIA!!!!!!!!!!!, also NARNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) in lieu of artsy-fartsy ones…but then get their knickers in a twist about rap music, which is THE most commercially successful music format since…ever.
So which is it, fellers? Are you the True Mainstream? Or whining from the sidelines?
“…their glorification of sexism, drugs and violence.”
Wasn’t America built on sexism, drugs (tobacco and teh hemp) and violence? Why do these gomers hate America so?
Jay B. —
He actually does rip on Mos Def, for being a “9/11 conspiracy theorist”.
Next up: Gahr exposes the Fat Boys for glorifying criminal behavior in “Jailhouse Rap” and questions who, exactly, conferred upon Doug E. Fresh the title of beat box trainer.
Well, when the fuck is Mccain going to denouce lying, murder, concentrations camps, war and general insanity?
Oh, yeah.. that’s his platform. Shit.
When, oh when, is Barack Obama going to repudiate and disavow Nat Turner???
But sir!
Q-Tip has stated that he prefers to spend every Saturday and Sunday hitting people with boots, and refuses to eat ham and eggs – a singularly un-American thing to do, very much like certain people refusing to eat cheese steaks.
And Will.I.Am – well, heh, I mean ….. how much do we really have to say about a man whose known associate records a song glorifying the idea of bombing the London Bridge, which as we all know is now located in Arizona – Domestic Terrorism!
Not to mention Kriss Kross, and their bombing threats.
Finally, when will Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama – a native daughter and elected official, respectively, of Illinois – repudiate Sufjan Stevens for being unforgiveably twee?
I’m not sure why this reminds me of Chappell’s R. Kelley spoof?
“Surprize, surprize, right in your eyes!”
The thinly veiled rascism that is Hip-Hop Hatred is really pathetic. I can understand not caring for the music, but treating it as if it is some disgusting abomination is just silly.
Like it or not, it is the evolution of music. Deal with it, White-tards.
Rap, shmap.
When’s Obama gonna repudiate teh Philadelphia Sound?
Won’t Obama disavow all the disavowing?
John McCain needs to denounce…
Merle Haggard: didn’t listen to his Mama.
Buck Owens: walked the streets of Bakersfield.
Johnny Paycheck: spotty work history.
Obama has kids. When is he going to apologize for my son spilling paint on the dining room table?
Doesn’t he get any props for Johnny Mathis? Sidney Poitier? Colin Powell? Lena Horne? I think we all should personally thank him for Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holliday, too
That is P-Stupid. Uncut Stupid. Da BOMB. I won’t rest until Obama denounces Toussaint L’Ouverture AND Gil Scott Heron…
When can we as a nation pass the dutchie to the lefthand side?
Whoo, boy. Second Comment from that excreble post:
Vial Rappers? Does he mean Vital rappers? Rappers with great life force?
Or did he mean Vial Wrappers, like the padding for shipping vials?
Either way you cut it, shut up then!
The fact is, Obama is a negro. Here in the Heartland, we will never stomach a black man being president. America will become a third world country.
And why is nobody lighting up my life or bringing me hope to carry on?
“Yeah, when I think of thuggish, violent crackhead street criminals, my mind instantly turns to Q-Tip and Will.I.Am.”
Will a President Obama allow Kid & Play to throw a White House Party? Or will he ride to his inauguration in a taxi Fresh Prince of DC style? Yo Bush, smell ya later!
Like I keep saying, the GOP convention is going to consist of nothing but old white guys screaming the N-word and pissing themselves in terror.
Gary, Gary quite contrary
How does your graveyard grow?
With silver bones
And screams and moans
And pretty corpses all in a row.
I don’t want to cause no offense,
let me probagate equally pernicious nonsense.
Welk is the music of real patriots,
Accordions give me the hots.
My comment on dude’s post:
Wanted y’all to see it without having to wade through 100+ comments about saggy pants and Rev. Wright.
So I’m hanging with the Racist In-Laws(TM) a few months ago. They love- LOVE- this passive aggressive “we’re just commenting on black culture”/”it’s all racism against whites” bullcrap and make it essentially half of every dinner conversation. They’re clever enough to never cross into “I just hate black people,” rather, it’s “I hate people who don’t have jobs/credit,” “I hate people who take the bus,” “I hate people who don’t understand hard work,” “I hate people who don’t keep good lawns around here,” “I hate people who congregate in their front yards,” etc….but the framing makes it obvious.
Anyway, father-in-law has a bit too many to drink. We’re watching football. Falcons make a typically boneheaded play, guy starts flapping his arms, and says: “You know what our problem is? We’ve got too many ******* on the team!” Mother-in-law nods in semi-approval.
In short- You can’t hide yourselves, wingnuts. We know *exactly* what you mean with this. And sooner or later you’ll completely slip up. Glenn Reynolds has done a thorough job scrubbing out the damn Instapunk spot, but that’s certainly not the last of it.
S’funny.
I posted yesterday that America was becoming 3rd World country, what with the poverty, declining life expectancy, food shortages and whatnot….
I Am Gary Ruppert!!!
The fact is, Gary, that you will see a black man’s face smiling down at you from every federal building in the land. In schools when you lisp the pledge of allegience, in the courthouse when the probation officer finally catches you, and in the post office when you mail your fines. Every man in the military will salute him, every person in every room in the land will rise to their feet out of humble respect for the black man who is their commander in chief, president, and First Person of the nation.
And every other black man in the country will say, that can be my kid. That can be me. And they’ll look out with pride and self-respect at the country, and finally begin to take their rightful place in the world.
Suck on that, troll.
Fake Mary Schluppert, you must have missed all the Democratic Primaries and Caucuses – Obama won the Heartland.
Speaking of denouncing, when is Mary Schluppert going to denounce the Heartland?
Uh, Leonard…close your bold tag.
That is…unless you’re symbolizing the DARK RAP SAGGY JEANS THREAT IN OUR MIDST!!!!!!!!!

It’s worse than that, dude! Gary Ruppert is taking his queues from you.
He is your disciple, dude!
THE WORDS ARE BLACK
Shorter entire right wing retard-o-sphere:
“Can’t you see that man is a n—”?!
C’mon now, Legalize. Be fair. They don’t call him a nigger. He’s a senator, went to Harvard Law, etc. he’s Mr. Nigga to them.
Don’t forget Obama’s Elvis connection. “Blue Hawaii” anyone? Hip gyrations make the baby Jesus cry.
All I know is someone damn well better apologize for “Christian Rock.”
The fact is, the biased media gives Osama a free pass and McCain a hard time on stupid things. This is pure bias and hate. Here in the Heartland, we see through Osama’s lies, we know he hates the USA. And so does his wife.
I want an apology from McCain for Brent Bozell. His head is like a Chia pet on steroids.
When is Obama going to repudiate that old colored tap dancer, Mister Bojangles, who, as we all know, once lamented sadly in a song of note that, “I drinks a lot.” For shame! Obama MUST distance himself from these evil alcoholic tap-dancing negroes immediately!
Yes, McCain does do one stupid thing after another. He was nearly bottom in his college class, you know. He’s not terribly bright.
Today, we look at the pressures facing a serial troll.
Should a troll stick to tired-but-tested insults?
Or does civic duty oblige a troll to come up with something … new, something … fresh when he wants to inflame?
[Thrusts microphone towards a surprised looking man]
Gary, any comment?
Last I saw it was the Bush administration giving Osama a free pass: Bush Tells Barnes Capturing Bin Laden Is ‘Not A Top Priority Use of American Resources’
But I hear he’s fun to talk to and a lot of people are loyal to him, just like Bush. We really do need four more years. (Depending on how many he has left.)
By the way, I just paid $4/gal. for gas. I just love this Bush/McCain war.
Seriously man it’s getting old.
The fact is, gas would be cheaper if liberals didn’t tax it, didn’t oil company profits as much, allowed them to drill in Alaska, allowed them to build more refineries. It’s all your fault.
Would that the National Guard could be mobilized. They are all stuck in Iraq.
Why do blacks need to apologize when hip hop is really a slingshot of musical effrontery in comparison to the nuclear bomb of suckitude contained in Creed?
That said, Obama needs to really apologize for the party records of Redd Foxx and Rudy Ray Moore.
I demand that Obama get 3rd Bass back together
Oil would be cheaper if you let them drill your noggin, Gary old bean.
Many are the industry’s leading lights, who have become rich and famous thanks to the willingness of liberals like Obama to ignore or excuse their glorification of sexism, drugs and violence.
I guess the question, then, is: Why haven’t the Bible-fearing God thumpers put an end to this perfidy that is rap “music”? Sounds to me like someone’s making excuses for being lazy or powerless. I’m sure he’d say the same thing to the shareholders of the various record labels that distribute this scourge to the ears of lily white America.
However, I think we need to demand that Obama denounce Nat “King” Cole, whose silky tenor stylings caused many a 1950’s white lady’s private parts to pre-heat. Surely, Mr. Cole was a threat surpassed only by Communism, grizzly bears and sassy children.
A-yo, Gary Gets the Gas Face.
And will Obama apologize for the highly sexual lyrics of Funkadelic? And for corrupting that nice boy Elvis?
He bllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Someone else who is black mugged someone once. Can America afford the risk?
I’m glad the right doesn’t realize their whistles aren’t silent anymore. Makes me hopeful this election will remain Bugs Bunny v Elmer Fudd.
Breaking!
Operatives have located a draft of Obama’s inauguration speech:
And now, a word from the president!
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Gettin voted into the white house
Everything lookin good to the people of the world
But the mafia family is my boss
So every now and then I owe a favor gettin down
Like lettin a big drug shipment through
And send em to the poor community
So we can bust you know who
So voters of the world keep supportin me
And I promise to take you very far
Other leaders better not upset me
Or Ill send a million troops to die at war
To all you republicans, that helped me win
I sincerely like to thank you
Cuz now I got the world swingin from my nuts
And damn it feels good to be a gangsta
When will Barry X Hussein apologize for D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s *vial* undermining of teh American Family. I give you but one anti-American racist example of such hate speech:
“You know, parents are the same, no matter time nor place
They don’t understand that us kids are gonna make some mistakes
So tell you other kids all across the land
There’s no need to argue, parents just don’t understand.”
Help me!! I’m being oppressed!!
Being the utter rap nerd that I am, I absolutely love it when wingnuts start talking about the rap music. They’re so clueless about it that they generally let their rage get the better of them and say some shit that’s not only stupid but pretty damn bigoted as well.
Incidentally, I’m listening to X-Clan’s Xodus album right now. Talk about an album that would make Gahr shit his pants. Somebody should introduce him to the U.K.’s own Hijack (the Terrorist Group) and watch his head go ‘splodey.
In four year when peace, safety and prosperity have returned, Evan Gahr will show up at a back window of the White House with a pie and an apology. ” Sorry about the ‘up yours n—–.'” We’ll all have a good laugh about it then.
Unfortunately, after Obama finishes his second term he’ll be wasting his talent by starring in “That’s My Momma.”
Of course, country music, which such hits as “Dehlia” and “Let’s Get Drunk and Screw” among many others is living testimony to clean living and racial and gender tolerance. Will McCain and Clinton denounce Johnny Cash, Johnny Paycheck, and Charlie Daniels?
I want to know when the right is going to start whining about Obama’s 10 Point Plan.
The fact is, most country music reaffirms tradition family values, like we have in the heartland. Most rap music glorifies violence, drug dealing, prostitution — lifestyles you liberals glamorize in the land of coast eleites. Face it, black people and their culture is violent and degenerate. You can’t face that fact.
Lordy, it just makes me wish more than ever that Obama will make One Nation Under a Groove the theme of his inauguration……
Come to think of it, Obama may have been the Funky President James Brown was singing about all those years ago…..
Where else but rap?
How about metal. Google “The Mentors” and see what that gets you; songs like “My Bitch Is On The Rag,” “Heterosexuals Have The Right To Rock,” and “Secretary Hump.” (Representative lyric: “Here is my Secretary Hump/I’m gonna cram my dick up her rump.”)
Has John McCain denounced El Duce?
DrDick brings up a good point.
Will McCain and Clinton denounce Queen for Bohemian Rhapsody?
Don’t kid yourself. It didn’t start with hip-hop. It started with Rap. But it didn’t start with Rap. It started with Rock ‘n’ Roll. But it didn’t really start with Rock ‘n’ Roll. It started with Rhythm and Blues. But it didn’t start with Rhythm and Blues. It started with Be-Bop. But it didn’t start with Be-Bop. It started with Jazz. But it didn’t start with Jazz. It started with Ragtime. But it didn’t actually start with Ragtime. It started with Abstract Expressionism. Except it didn’t really start with Abstract Expressionism so much as evolve from Abstract Painting. Which, of course, started with Cubism. Except it didn’t really start with Cubism. It started with Post-Impressionism. Except it didn’t really start with Post-Impressionism. It started with Impressionism and the Fauves.
When will Obama denounce Monet? I’m waiting…
I have a sneaking suspicion that BLT is trolling under the Gary name this fine day. No proof, but then as a LIEberal I don’t need proof.
Wasn’t El Duce the dude that Courtney Love offered to pay to kill Kurt?
When will Cindy McCain apologize for Courtney Love?
I’m guessing that this guy never heard the Ben Folds song, “Bitches Ain’t Shit”.
I demand that he denounce, renounce, remonstrate, reject, and totally defenestrate this white artist!
But it is a fun song, bitches.
Monet, nothing!

Barry X, 1st Commencement Address-
“…and to all those cracker ass crackers who voted against me, I refer only to the words of the Master: ‘You thought I was a donut, you tried to glaze me.'”

I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me to command their army or whatever

Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn’t wit’ it but just that very minute…
It occured to me
The suckers had authority
Legalize – “Parents Just Don’t Understand” probably pisses off the wingnuts most because it expresses disapproval of double-knit reversible slacks.
The fact is, most country music reaffirms tradition family values, like we have in the heartland.
You mean being an alcoholic, beating your wife, and shooting your neighbor?
Principal, ever listen to The Coup? Led by Marxist rapper from Oakland, Boots Riley. A very interesting character. It’s hard to believe gangsta rap really does scare a lot of white people after all these years but if the likes of Evan Gahr or Bill O’Reilly ever listened to songs like Not Yet Free and My Favorite Mutiny(with Black Thought and Talib Kweli) they’d flee the country feh sho. They’re playing tonight in Berkeley at the Shattuck Downlow for anyone who’s in the area and interested in revolution rap.
“Many are the industry’s leading lights, who have become rich and famous thanks to the willingness of liberals like Obama to ignore or excuse their glorification of sexism, drugs and violence.”
Uh, what? So people only listen to rap music because it hasn’t been denounced by enough liberals?
Well, of course, silly! Because when adults denounce music, the kids stop listening! Just like with that vial rock and roll, and the punk and the disco.
The fact is, the recent posts under my name appear to be the actual Gary Ruppert. The fact is, it’s like an Elvis sighting.
Froma what I understanda, Itzak Perlman hasa perform musica by Wagner. I aska you, when willa Giuseppe Lieberman denounce Sr. Perlman? Ah?

Saying McCain isn’t terribly bright is like saying Caligula had some emotional issues … when he tries to parse economics, it’s like watching a 2-year-old try to recite Shakespeare. Sad yet funny.

That’s a start but it’s not good enough for me. I also want dissonance and atonality flogged in the public square. And what about cacophony? The word itself sounds dirty enough.
For that matter, heaven forbid they ever get a copy of the Dead Prez & Talib Kweli’s Sharp Shooters.
And that shit’s from when Clinton was still in the White House.

“someone damn well better apologize for “Christian Rock.”
Y’know what we used to call Christian rock?
We used to call it really shitty music.
Has John McCain denounced El Duce?
The Mentors tune “Golden Showers” was mentioned during the PMRC hearings, but this incident was a favorite of mine.
“But those who went before, we don’t have to do is face the fact that we cannot give in to all of that without becoming an optimist about America. I’ve seen our country back to the policies of the union. But a numbing exposure to graphic violence and loveless sex. I’m talking about groups like Cannibal Corpse, Geto Boys and 2 Live Crew.” – Bob Dole, 1996

Rap music promotes violence. It is directly responsible for the fact that, in the wake of acquittals in the Sean Bell trial, young black men are rioting in the streets of NYC.
What’s that? Nobody’s rioting?
Rap music promotes laziness.

Hopefully not in the same song.
Principal, ever listen to The Coup?
Oh yeah–“Kill My Landlord” and “Fat Cats, Bigga Fish” were the joints, as was “Dig It.” The first time I met Boots was in line at the ATM, of all places. I thought that was pretty funny.
I apologize for John Cage.
Oh, and I think Barry X’s inaugural theme song should be “Be Black” by King Sun.
You can’t apologize for me, Wagner. I left your crappy group when I realized you knew nothing about Philosophy, and were an anti-semite. Remember?
Early one morning while makin’ the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down.
I went right home and I went to bed.
I stuck that lovin’ .44 beneath my head.
The fact is.
Well, I don’t really care if you hate me, you see,
‘Cause I’m just a country boy from the state of Tennessee.
A little bit crazy, on the loudish side,
‘Cause I like to drink my whiskey an’ I like to get high.
An’ now I’m drinkin’, druggin’: I’m havin’ lots of fun.
I always carry round my loaded shotgun.
If I think I’m gonna have a bad time,
I got a little bit of smoke an’ a whole lotta wine.
Yes, those are the correct Mentors. “Now is the hour to build a shit tower!”
And upside down etc., “Il Duce” was Mussolini. The dude from the Mentors was in fact “El Duce”.
I’d rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man,
You better keep your head, little girl, or you won’t know where I am.
You better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
I catch you with another man, that’s the end, little girl.
Barry X, Soundtrack for 1st Air Force 1 flight:
I don’t mean to hurt nobody
I don’t mean to do no wrong
But somethin’ out there’s got me
And it’s pulling me along
Darkness is my shelter
Emptiness my light
And stranger, heaven help you
If our paths cross tonight
You see, the kids today, they listen to the rap music and it gives them the brain damage.
The fact is, I apologize for retarded people.
w—– the a—– is h—- on and b——-? i mean, ca— y—- r—–!
The crazy just gets crazier. I can hardly stand it. No, make that I can’t stand it at all and am about to go postal on wingnut ass. I won’t shoot them, just take away their cheesie-a-ronie.
I think we can safely blame all of this on cell division. That’s where this all started, and I denounce it here and now.
Yeah, if I was dying and wingnut stem cells were offered to me I’d refuse them! I don’t need that shit multiplying in my body.
I am still waiting for Jimmy Carter to denounce “Muskrat Love.”
Cells should subtract or add.
That’s conservative values.
You wingnuts should just count yourselves lucky that we didn’t get an even blacker black guy to run. Then you’d really be scared.

Barry X, 1st Visit to the Secure Undisclosed Location:
I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence.
Took his rings, four bucks in change, aint that heaven sent?
Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, burns my eyes to see;
Cut down a man in cold blood, shannon, might as well been me.
Jack Straw from Wichita cut his buddy down
And dug for him a shallow grave, and laid his body down
Half a mile from Tucson, by the morning light
One man gone and another to go
My old buddy you’re moving much too slow
The subtext here is all that sub.
To be a president, a black man must repudiated anything even remotely connected with black culture. In other words, to be president a black man must be white.
And it’s the same, to an extent, with Hillary. For a woman to be president she has to prove that she’s “risen above” anything feminine. But oops, don’t go too far or you’re a castrating bitch.
Get the game yet?
To please a group of people that would never support either candidate, the candidates must be the exact opposite of the people they are.
Fucking republicans.
I HATE WINGNUTS. HATE! They are as formidable and destructive as the pine beetle. Their minds are like giant farts spewing toxic methane into the psychoshere. If we don’t get them under control the entire planet will be awash in chaos and death.
It isn’t already?
Barry X, 1st visit to Bush Presidential Library:
One of them cowboys, he starts to draw,
And I shot him down, Lord he never saw.
Well I grabbed a bottle, cracked him in the jaw,
Shot me another, oh damn he won’t grow old.
In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold,
And we high-tailed it down to Mexico.
I love those cowboys, I love their gold,
I loved my uncle, God rest his soul,
Taught me good, Lord, Taught me all I know
Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road.
This has been a totaly fun thread to read – and with very few trolls!
Ok, but here’s the thing.
I’m not a fan of Teh Hippity Hop.
But I’m pretty sure Barack Obama’s not responsible for it.
Isn’t that DJ Jazzy Jeff?
Thought so….
mikey
As soon as Republicans renounce and apologize for inflicting decades of country “music” on our poor Nation, then we’ll talk.
Nope.

Mama, where’s your little daughter?
She’s here, right here on the altar
You should never have opened that door
Now you’re never gonna see her no more
You don’t know what I can do with this axe
Chop off your head so you better relax
I still don’t see an apology for Creed. Or Pat Boone. Get with it peeps.
Music doth have charms to soothe the savage beast. And really lame trolls.
“Where all da white women at?”
Mel Brooks is a National Treasure.
David Brooks is a National Disgrace.
John McCain needs to apologize for Glenn Danzig, too: “Collect the heads of little girls and/put ’em on my wall/Hack the heads off little girls and/put ’em on my wall!”
Barry X, 1st Presidential visit to Austin:
He said I stood in that street before it was paved
learned shoot or be shot before I could shave
and I did it all for the money and fame
noble was nothing but feeling no shame
and nothing was sacred but stayin’ alive
and all that I learned from a Colt 45
How exactly does one pronounce “b—” or “n—“? I spent most of clown college on acid, so apparently I missed the class on letters followed by lines.
And when will McCain (or Hillary for that matter) apologize for GWAR? Slymenstra Hymen, indeed…
And while we’re convening the truth and reconciliation committees, when will America apologize to me for Killer Klowns From Outer Space??? Fucking racist bastards.

McCane must reject, denounce and utterly revile Danny Elfman for his disgusting song about child molestation.
And I don’t care if McCane does want to use Deadman’s Party as his campaign’s theme song.
I don’t know how to tell one of my favourite bloggers that her darling little baby looks like John McCain in the last third of this video.
Still adorable. But when eyebrows are knotted, baby be aware!

J. Sidney McCain III, Party Nomination Acceptance Speech:
The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight
“Next up? when will Hillary denounce the whole sordid genre that is womyn’s music? And what of McCain and the virulent genre of southern blues rock?”
Oh, you silly, silly man, those musicians are “real Americans” the rap music is only 3/5ths American.
In a thread generally full of Win, I vote Socraticsilence best of all!
Of course there is no point in asking McCain to “denounce, repudiate, and reject” anything whatsoever, because DR&Ring is the Base State of the bastard tribe generally short-handed as Scots-Irish — my people! And when respectable historians trace our Vial(tm) Musical Heritage, they find that the substance-abuse-infidelity-and-random-violence-encouraging genre of “Country Music” is based on the equally socially-irresponsible rootstock of Appalachian Ballards, which grew from the sordid muck of Celtic Folk Music and Urban Penny Dreadfuls, horrific descendents of the barbaric yawps and thuggish chest-thumpings spawned when the cattle-thieving tribes on the westernmost fringes of Europe indulged in their never-ending Gang Feuds with their equally anti-social northern “Viking” (def: ‘bloodthirsty’) neighbors. Try listening to that ‘Beuwulf” song sometimes, but please our talivangelical God not where sensitive young minds might be affected: It’s all murder, slaughter, drunkenness, ethnic insults, more slaughter, exceedingly rude Yo Mama “jokes”, capped off with extra murder and a general celebration of ethnic cleansing. And it goes on for waaay more than a commercially acceptable four minutes, too!
Where else but rap do folks talk so openly and regularly about b——, n—— and hoes?
I dunno. 4-H?
What? Garden tools, right?
Okay, let’s do it. Let’s sound the bugle of liberty. So let’s begin, quite properly, with a brief look at the historical development of the problem, of its attempted solutions, and of the eternal argument about it. For a variety of reasons, some strategic, some ideological, some attitudinal, and all of them wrong, surly bludgers depressurize the frail vessel of human hopes. Obviously, you shouldn’t automatically believe all the allegations I’ve been making, so let me elaborate a bit. G speaks like a true defender of the status quo — a status quo, we should not forget, that enables him to elevate his metanarratives to prominence as epistemological principles.
Some people think I’m exaggerating when I say that G’s shell games are a cancer that gnaws away at the national psyche. But I’m not exaggerating; if anything, I’m understating the situation. In this land which has befriended humorless kleptomaniacs, G has conspired, plotted, undermined, prostituted, and corrupted, and — hiding to this hour behind the braver screen of snotty roustabouts — dares to contrive and scheme the death of every principle that has protected him. Consider the issue of sniffish, snippy Stalinism. Everyone agrees that I’m not actually demanding revenge, but there are still some hate-filled politicasters out there who doubt that he has lost what little credibility he once had. To them I say: Not only does he influence the attitudes of dominant culture towards any environment or activity that is predominantly postmodernist, but he then commands his dupes, “Go, and do thou likewise.” There can be no doubt that he truly believes that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles. It is just such depraved megalomania, effete, nugatory egoism, and intellectual aberrancy that stirs G to twist my words six ways for Sunday.
This is a lesson for those with eyes to see. It is a lesson not so much about G’s dangerous behavior but about the way that if you look back over some of my older letters, you’ll see that I predicted that G would make the pot of extremism overboil and scald the whole world. And, as I predicted, he did. But you know, that was not a difficult prediction to make. Anyone who has bothered to learn even a little about G could have made the same prediction. G’s harangues are not just about isolationism but also about metagrobolism. That is why, come what may, we must review the basic issues at the root of the debate.
I know i’m not voting for obama intil he denounces this black pride rap group:
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields,
Sold in a market down in new orleans.
Scarred old slaver know hes doin alright.
Hear him whip the women just around midnight.
Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should
A-huh.
Drums beating, cold english blood runs hot,

Oh just like a, just like a black girl should.
I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said
Oh just like, just like a black girl should.
oh wait…
The fact is, if the poor died, we would have a much better country. So why do we keep them alive with our tax dollars, to commit crimes, ?
New Orleans was a good idsa until the bleeding hearts started to bleed our treasury to keep a city full of shiftless trash full of trash.

Synthetic comments can also be true,,,,
When is Obama going to denounce Robert Johnson? The man went to the crossroads to make a pact with The Debbil!
These boys is not white! These boys is not white! Hell, they ain’t even old timey! And I have it on good authority that their guitar player sold his soul to the Devil!
This band of miscreants, this very evening, interfered with a lynch mob in the performance of its duty. Now, I belong to a certain secret society…I don’t believe I have to name it. And those boys desecrated a burning cross!
Now, is you is, or is you ain’t, my constituency?

J Sidney McShizzle, 1st Visit to Hobo Jungle outside Tuscon, 2009:
So the concept is this, basically: The whole black nation has to be put together as a black army and we’re going to walk on this nation. We’re going to walk on this racist power structure. And we’re going to say to the whole damn government, ´´Stick ’em up, motherfucker. This is a hold-up! We come for what’s ours!”
Evan completely misses the fact that will.i.am also did a song (and video!) called Secret Formula for Dexter’s Laboratory on Cartoon Network. It was full of… Well, actually, it’s completely innocuous, in the lyric department. It’s aimed at 12-year-olds, after all.
Hmm… I demand that this guy apologize for being stupid while named Evan. He’s besmirching all the cool Evans!

I can’t get that image out of my head nor do I want to. Thank you thank you.

I am white and I apologize for… I apologize for…
{takes deep breath; wipes sweat from eyes}
I apologize for Dick Cheney.
To be accurate, Dick Cheney is beige with a hint of puke green. His teeth are freaky, too, like tilting tombstones or loose yellowing piano keys. He’s right up there in appearance-matches-soul with that goitermobster from Exxon, Lee Raymond.
Re-spek’!
heh.
GOP convention, ’08: Birth of a Nation

My favorite hip-hop piece is this one about the current Pope, which I wrote in the gory dayz of No’bid’ness:
Step back yo, I’m Supreme Pontiff
I’m so holy, Jews tell me good yontif
That’s right I’m Pope, and you just a Cardinal
Don’t need ho’s to know I’m still harder’n y’all
Ratzinger got bling and nothin’ to pay for
You got less taste than a communion wafer
Don’t be hatin’ cuz I got picked
Friends call me Panzer, but you hafta call me Benedict

Let’s hear Obama denounce my shit now!
The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish
A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond
And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu’ran
They bombed innocent people, tryin’ to murder Saddam
When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
Conservative political right wing, ideology
Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
Got my back to the wall, cause I’m facin’ assassination
Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
Corporate America, dancin’ offbeat to the rhythm
You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
Human rights violations, we continue the saga
El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
Just cause I won’t trade humanity for patriotism
It’s like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what’s reality?
Read about the history of the place that we live in
And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children
Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs
Broken apart like a woman’s heart, abused in a marriage
The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage
Embedded correspondents don’t tell the source of the tension
And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16’s
Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
Media censorship, blocking out the video screens
A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin’
The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin’
And the world doesn’t believe that you fightin’ for freedom
Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon
It’s open season with the CIA, bugging my crib
Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid
Where nobody gives a fuck whether you die or you live
I’m tryin’ to give the truth, and I know the price is my life
But when I’m gone they’ll sing a song about Immortal Technique
Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks
You don’t give a fuck about us, I can see through your facade
Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God
Bitch niggaz scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard
It’s like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what’s reality?
Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you
While you hanging your flag out your project window
Yeah..
The fourth branch of the government AKA the media
Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials
As if their opinion was at all unbiased
A machine shouldn’t speak for men
So shut the fuck up you mindless drone!
And you know it’s serious
When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign
To try to convince you they’re fair and balanced
When they’re some of the most ignorant, and racist people
Giving that type of mentality a safe haven
We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do
We die in wars, we don’t get the contracts to make money off ’em afterwards!
We don’t get weapons contracts, nigga!
We don’t get cheap labor for our companies, nigga!
We are cheap labor, nigga!
Turn off the news and read, nigga!
Read… read… read…

btw, you left Harry Belafonte off the list of people Obama has been asked to repudiate. The stupidity of Russert and the MSM never ceases to amaze.
Oh my, that was quite a masterful reference to the Architect’s Sketch, MrWonderful. Well done, sir.
Mantronix In Full Effect
I fucking love that album–still play “Gangster Boogie” and “Homeboys Make Some Noise” out in the clubs as well.
But I’d have to say my favorite Mantronix song is either “Needle to the Groove” or “Listen to the Bass of Get Stupid Fresh, Part II”
Did I read you trash talking the Welsh? We may not be cool, but we can keep fucking coming at you until you yield. We play Rugby you know. Without suits of armour, and with full physical contact. I’d swear at you in Welsh, but we actually don’t have any swearwords in our language.
Wow, I hadn’t thought of Mantronix in years. I used to love those guys.
A couple years ago I tried to trace my “family tree” to see if anybody worth a damn has ever been in my lineage, even by accident.
Turns out my family name is Welsh, but pretty much all the records they could find go back to Irish and English penal institutions, more jails than workhouses. Those records peter out about 1740. Likely somebody ended up in the colonies either indentured or on the lam. Then more penal institutions and wars.
Salt of the earth. Nine generations of incompetent thugs.
Nope. Nobody worth a damn.
But I guess it means I AM Welsh…
mikey
Of course, Obama has never been known himself to say any racist, or sexist epithets. This is pure smear, guilt-by-association (“association” meaning “having the same skin color”). In contrast, McCain, in front of reporters, called his wife a “trollop” and a “c**t”. Love those Republican family values!
Time To ROCK, People!1one!
The fact is, most country music reaffirms tradition family values
I have this great song on one of my old cassette tapes . Now this is some traditional family values (and I would really love to find this song on line so I can download it). I first heard in on WHFS in DC back when the station was actually good
I Spent My last $10.00 (On Birth Control and Beer)
by Two Nice Girls (lyrics by Gretchen Phillips)
When I was a young girl like normal girls do
I looked to a woman’s love to help get me through
I never needed any more than a feminine touch
I hated the thought of kissing a man it really was too much
I did not drink, I did not smoke I did not say “goddamn”
I was polite I was sensitive before I loved a man
My family, they were proud of me were proud of what I am
But then along came Lester and my tale of woe began
(Chorus)
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
It was June 1983 when Mary Lou and I did part
She said she loved another dyke my god, it broke my heart
I was bitter and disillusioned to lose another girlfriend
Lester came to work at Papa’s store and decided to ease on in
Before my last heartbreak nothing made me more sick
Than a hairy-chested, cheap double-breasted suited man with a hard dick
I guess that I was curious I guess that I was young
I guess it was that rum and coke I guess that I was dumb
(Chorus)
For of course, for a woman to love a man she must also love to booze
If a woman don’t drink beside her man then she will surely lose him
As I sit in this hetero honky-tonk and reflect upon my past
I think about those girlfriends and why they didn’t last
For there’s certain thrills that lesbian love simply cannot supply
Like paying for abortions from sperm gone awry
And so I say to you my friends without this man I’d die
So listen to my tale of woe and hang your head and cry
(Chorus)
acrannymint – thanks for the memories. Haven’t heard that in years. I started singing as soon as I recognized the song.
You people are so busy singing your repulsive LIE-brul songs that you’re completely unaware of the threat of the porn dragon! The USA of America is in danger and you commies just sing, sing sing, like little girls! The PORN DRAGON is here you fools!:

Anne Laurie said,
I demand that this guy apologize for being stupid while named Evan. He’s besmirching all the cool Evans!
Yeah, like there are any ‘cool’ Evans. Whatever Daffyd abs Huge may believe, the Welsh are the least cool of the not-exactly-cutting-edge Celtic tribes.
*Hangs head* Yeah, I know, no-one cares about the Welsh. We’re all a bunch of weird leek-loving oddballs that use words like ‘gwydd’.
I found it on the itunes store. 99cents well spent.
I wonder if itunes has “the sweater” song. Every once in a while the phrase “that goat-like smell, teenage boys possess” pops into my head.
I apologize for the old white lady singing “Rapper’s Delight” at the end of The Wedding Singer.
Mugshots.
I apologize for…
Ah, fuck.
Y’know, I’ve done 3 fourth steps.
I don’t think I can purify my soul any further.
But I really am sorry about that dude in roseville. That’s comes up at three aye emm more than I’d like it would.
Along with those guys in the trailer in Oroville.
But shit. Sorry’s a lot of crap when people are wrecked or worse.
So forget it…

Turns out my family name is Welsh, but pretty much all the records they could find go back to Irish and English penal institutions, more jails than workhouses. Those records peter out about 1740. Likely somebody ended up in the colonies either indentured or on the lam. Then more penal institutions and wars…
But I guess it means I AM Welsh…
Well, fair enough, Mikey, but as my late dad always said about our ‘Scots-Irish’ family tree: You’re descended from people who were at least cool (smart) enough to know they needed to get the fvck OUT of Wales!
This just in: the GOP not only wants Barry Hussein Obama X to apologize for the existence of rap music, they want him to do it while this plays in the background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBt_QbQ_sSc&feature=related.
Also, even though I didn’t hear their music until well into the 90s, I apologize for Whitesnake.
Denouncing a backup singer was sufficient in my day.
My favorite part of that Two Nice Girls song is when the second vocalist repeats the word June.
Another great moment in graphic design.

I expect you to apologize for Tim, but not Neil, Finn.
I.e. no later than 1990.
I have a friend who will sing the birth control song when ever it pops into her head. Or she wants to alarm the hell out of people in the grocery store. Or make me shoot a drink out my nose.

Actually, that sounds kinda cool to me. My ancestry was a bunch of random motherfuckers from the poorer areas of Europe. Some rich Americans wanted cheap labor, & my ancestors jumped circa the late nineteenth century.

It’s from 1989, from their first album.
sadly, my musical sensibilty is hopelessly stuck in the 80’s and 90’s. Mostly the 80s new wave/progressive stuff. More recent favs involves Guided by Voices/Bob (I have never seen anyone drink that much and sound good by then end of the night) Pollard and Swell.
I do thank who ever posted the “evil bee” video – that is probably as modern as I get.

We’d like to apologize for Bobby Vinton. The Polish Prince? We think not.
I was referring to the late, great WHFS, which went completely College Format sometime in the early 90’s.

For the record: I refuse to apologize for the fact Rob Halford could bitch slap Evan Gahrgoyle’s ass into next week.

Actually, that sounds kinda cool to me. My ancestry was a bunch of random motherfuckers from the poorer areas of Europe. Some rich Americans wanted cheap labor, & my ancestors jumped circa the late nineteenth century.
By mother’s ancestor was a sister of Ann Boleyn, but made an even less fortunate choice of husband. Her granddaughter was a pauper and a murderer who was condemned to a lifetime of slave labor in the Virginia colony. Eventually her illegitimate children mingled with the Cherokees of Georgia and got forced out to Oklahoma. My grandfather was an itnerant evangelical preacher from an sharecropping famly in the Ozarks. They refused to admit that they were part-black, even though it was obvious and generally known that they were.
Until George W. Bush came along, they were what you would call the Republican base.

was your ancestor “the other boleyn girl”?
I have to admit that I got hooked on the Tudors. even if the guy playing Henry is too young.
Obviousy we need to convene the House Unamerican Activities Committee. “Are you now or have you ever been a Nas fan?”

Together forever
America is the country we all love
We believe our destiny
Comes from god above
Let’s link our hands for all to see
Our country’s majesty
Forever together
America is the land we’re fighting for
There’s a time in history
For a hero’s destiny
Together forever more
Hey John
Say John
They’re gonna hit you hard with ev’ry thing they’ve got
Hey John
Come on

Everything you’re not!

We’re gonna win

I haven’t seen the Tudors, but her name was Mary and she also had an affair with Henry, I guess. I am descended from the daughter of her second marriage, also named Anne.

That would deprive me of the pleasure of doing it for you.
Yikes! Glad I didn’t post a video.
See, this was the thing. Everybody who did their family tree ended up being SOMEBODY…
Mikey, when one of my sibs tried to examine our family tree (back in the late 80s before Teh Intertoobz), they found out that all the records accessible without travelling Over the Water had been destroyed at various points between Cromwell’s adventures and the Easter Uprising. So the family joke remains that whatever our ancestors were up to, it was so heinous that even THEY didn’t want to remember it. Although on evidence of what little we do know, I’m quite sure your folks and mine interbred, probably repeatedly, at some or all of the Least Fine Institutions of Correction between Galway Bay and Liverpool…
Obama was born in Hawaii, yes? Doesn’t he need to apologize for Don Ho ?
Arky you a wuss! Whssamatta, caint take it ?
OK gbear, you’re off the hook for linking to such a snarkilicious article:
Oo. Er. Team Obama must be trembling with fear. Bwahaha!
“Oh stay away from liebruls,
they won’t make you free,
They’ll stifle you with too many choices,

Oh stay away from liebruls,

No. I don’t. Really. And I preemptively reject and denounce anyone who tells me what the fuck “On the pillow” means.

Tweety presents: The Singing Senators. They’re on fire.
“Together Forever,” eh? Orrin Hatch’s next song can be “Never Gonna Give You Up (John McCain).”
I’d swear at you in Welsh, but we actually don’t have any swearwords in our language.
My mate Tony Coxon reckons that the Welsh didn’t even have a word for ‘masturbate’ ‘coz they were all so clean-living and healthy that the possibility of self-pollution had never occured to them. They only encountered the concept when they came into contact with the filthy depraved tribes of Saxony, so they simply adopted the Anglo-Saxon word. I suspect that he’s making it up.
Tony has a sign in his bathroom, asking visitors (in Welsh) “Please do not wank in the shower”.

So, you want me to apologize for Woodface, then? Fine, I apologize for Woodface. Also for Paul Hogan, because someone needs to.
I see from the lyrics up-thread that the Muse has been with you all tonight. Not any of the usual muses, though. It may have been Eclampsia, the muse of poetically-named medical conditions.
She used to be the Muse of Constellation Names, until they ran out of gaps in the sky, when she took the option of up-skilling and job retraining. Of course a few years later the European explorers got down into the Southern Hemisphere and encountered a whole new hemisphere of constellations, but by then Eclampsia was otherwise occupied, so that’s why we’re stuck with star-signs like “The Microscope” and “The Toilet Plunger” here in the southern sky.
Smut, I don’t see what you are complaining about.

the compass
the surveyor’s level
the octant
the ship’s sails
the southern cross
the southern triangle
These were sailors, for Christ’s sake. You are lucky they aren’t named, “The Buxom Whore” and “The Treacle Tart.” It’s not like the locals knew enough English or Latin to name stars.

[…] According to the justice department in George Bush Sr’s administration, Bosch had participated in more than 30 terrorist acts. He was convicted of firing a rocket into a Polish ship which was on passage to Cuba. He was also implicated in the 1976 blowing-up of a Cubana plane flying to Havana from Venezuela in which all 73 civilians on board were killed. . . . Bosch’s release, often referred to in the US media as a pardon, was the result of pressure brought by hardline Cubans in Miami, with Jeb Bush serving as their point man. Bosch now lives in Miami and remains unrepentant about his militant activities, according to Bardach. . . . Other Cuban exiles involved in terrorist acts, Jose Dionisio Suarez and Virgilio Paz Romero, who carried out the 1976 assassination of the Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier in Washington, have also been released by the current Bush administration. So what to take from this? Obama is a dangerous criminal, and the Bush- family is a patriotic bunch of flag- waving Citizens. But why? Discuss..? (In other news, Obama has neither renouced hip- hop or rap.) […]
The fact is, we need to kill all of our enemies, the muslims and the liberals.
Annie Laurie,
HEY! Don’t go to your Welsh-bashing just because coomander cheetorific attempts to claim Welshness. The Welsh are the most persecuted and downtrodden of the Celtic tribes with a lot more English and Norman shite to get out from under than the oh-so cuddly Irish (who are half Norse to boot). It’s a wonder they still exist at all, which says something about their resilience. Start talking shit about Neil Diamond and you’re really in trouble!

Yeah, ww were poor. My people went from coal mines in Wales to coal mines in Pennsylvania to coal mines in Oregon. But we survived, and always will.
Oh look, Peggy Noonan laid an egg!
While channeling America at the airport, she suddenly realizes that black people have only been Americans for about 50 years, and wonders if that disqualifies a certain someone.
from the presidency I mean. Sorry, drifted off into Noonan land.
Re. Peggy: Dear heaven, that’s a boat-load of crazy. Evidently American is an aging woman terrrified that her girdle will be exposed during a pat-down. Seems Peggy’s a Bushbot until he makes sure she’ll be treated like some lowly minority, with indignities and humilitations and suspicion, too terrifed to protest. Bitch.
Is Obama America-lovin’ enough? America wants to know! I suggest Obama waterboard Peggy to prove his American values.
Does this mean John McCain must denounce his own daughter? She included Jay-Z, Diddy, and Kanye “Bush hates black people” West, Missy Eliot, etc. on her official McCainBlogette playlists. Its described as “a compilation of the songs we just can’t get enough of” on the campaign trail. Her mother, father, and even the Governor of Utah have all contributed to the list.
http://www.mccainblogette.com/docs/playlist/
I guess this means the daughter can’t really be American because she wasn’t born here and isn’t white.
What if McCain will bring a stealth Muslim to the White House?
Oh my freaking god, if McCain wins there will be a black person visiting/living in the White House! Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!!11!!!1111!!!
And if Obama wins the same thing will happen!
AAAAAGGGGHHHH!
No, they were Americans before 50 years… just 3/5ths American. As for the missing 2/5ths… well, I guess that’s the part that counts.
Crips? The man ain’t from California he’s from Chicago, Hyde Park. I wonder if he’s folk or people? I’m guessing Almighty P Stones out of Moe Town or Mickey Cobras from The Gutter. Both part of the people nation and, thus, more affiliated with the Bloods (like the P Stones, an offshoot of the Blackstone Rangers) than the Crips who don’t even have a prescence in Chi as far as I know.

I’m not sorry at all! I’d do it all again, too.
I regret nothing!!!111!!!
“Where else but rap do folks talk so openly and regularly about b——, n—— and hoes?”
Apparently a lot of old white guys I’ve known are rappers . Shocking! Just shocking! (Especially to them 🙂 The pressing question is, will McCain repudiate these this guy , or other (white) cultural problems?
(Point of disclaimer , “hoes” in above mentioned conversations, are tools)
Shorter Peggy Noonan:
“I’m too special to stand in line with everyone else. And why doesn’t that black guy wear a lapel pin?”
The fact is, here in the Heartland, we liberals wish you would just shut up or leave. We love America the way it is, we fear what it is becoming — gay, liberal, communist, race-mixed and full of hate for traditions and the love of socialism and the free ride it promises. You may reap what you sow in your eleite coast enclaves, but stop shoving it down our throats so hard.

Translation: TSA personnel needs to carry cards with swaths of color. If a passenger has a skin tone lighter than those swaths, they should be allowed to go directly to the gate; if a passenger has a skin tone darker than those swaths, they should be strip searched.
Dear God, that woman needs to be institutionalized.
I especially love her ponderings on the “fullness” of Obama’s patriotism. Cause everyone knows patriotism is more about worshipping the great dead white men who Made America the Bestest Country EVAH™ and hating/oppressing the right groups of your fellow citizens and not about, you know, your fellow citizens without whom the concept of “nation” is meaningless. Just the typical lazy “patriotism” of the typical Republican, for whom genuflecting to a symbol and shooting off your mouth about how America can do no wrong is a lot easier than actually caring about the welfare of the nation – the actual people.
The fact is, here in the Heartland, we liberals wish you would just shut up or leave.

Sez Noonan:
I finally understand the party nostalgia for Reagan
Lemme see if I’ve got this. She’s been the single most reliable winger when it comes to propping up his corpse and planting wet sloppy kisses on its various parts since long before he actually, y’know, died. And she has only recently come to understand her own decades-long necrophilia because the citizens of “Lubbock Comma Texas” didn’t boo her for saying Bush isn’t Reagan? Is that about it? Not surprising, actually, given that she waits until 2008 to whine about airport security — roughly five years after everybody else got over it.
I dunno.
It just seems to me that SOMEBODY around these parts needs a good Rogering.

Peggy Noonan keeps finding new nadirs. Of course if I’d been cheerleading for the C-Plus Augustus as enthusiastically as Da Loonan, I’d be looking for a jackalope myself, now that even the rudimentary brainstems of Dubya’s Lubbucktexas fan club have figured out that He Is Not Their Friend. Being the Rethug knobgobbling lifer she’s always been, Peggy naturally seeks to distract the pitchfork-n-torch-bearing peasants with not one but TWO versions of the ever-reliable Rethug bete noir — “Look!

That’s so eighties. Obama needs to get on stage with Willie Nelson and duet “Pancho and Lefty”. Indiana and Kentucky loves it. End of issue.

What if I told you Pastor Swank wrote something ridiculous?
THEN what would you say?
Those who don’t care about worship in church cast their vote for Muslim B. Hussein Obama per CNSNews’ Terence Jeffrey.
Terence Jeffrey told churchless heathens to vote for the Muslim? Disturbing, if true!
Obama is a theologically liberal religionist who writes his own holy writ while quoting from the Bible.
A theologically liberal religionist and a Muslim? A dessert topping and a floor wax?
He does not know his Bible which is evident when telling inquirers to check out Matthew 5-7 Sermon on the Mount for what Jesus said about homosexuality. There is nothing in that passage regarding that issue.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Swank’s right. Nothing in there about the homos, stomp ’em into the ground!
Typical Swank.
Weird, twisted alien syntax that all comes down to “God told me which of you fuckers I should hate. Since it’s god’s word, I should be able to kill you without sanction.”
I say to Swank what I say to ’em all.
Be very, very careful what you wish for…

Does this speak to your overall scholarship or was this just a bad day?
———————————————————————————————–
“I haven’t just singled out rappers,” Obama told Al Sharpton’s National Action Network conference last year, according to the New York Observer. “I’ve said I’ve heard those words [used by rappers] around the kitchen table in some homes. I hear them in the barber shop. I hear them on the basketball court. All of us have been complicit in diminishing ourselves.”
As an aside here, can you imagine the right’s reaction if Obama discussed the way white people talk when they’re alone with other white people, talking about blacks or women, and said that they have been complicit in diminishing the white race?
———————————————————————————————–
when did you know any white that knew anyone who knew anyone that would diminish his race or his women by speaking to them the way obama and his ilk talk of theirs?
Mikey, I did go over to the house of the shrieking harpy.
It hurts my brain. The entire population that pammalammadingdong wants to gas is the same as it ever was, same as it ever was…
(By the way, go ahead and type “shrieking harpy” into teh google. And laugh…but do NOT click on the link. Or you’ll feel sad, like me.)
Back at Renew America, meanwhile, we have Warner Todd Huston going for the “I can project anything you can project better, I can project anything better than you” award.
If you can’t win the people over, lie cheat, hide behind arbitrary and arcane rules of government or use the courts to defeat the will of the people. That is the Democrat Party’s call to arms.
Hmmm.
Gosh, Art, I hate to break it to you, but I heard white people referring to women as bitches and whores (and cunts, which is their super-special favorite) before there even was such a thing as rap music.
Here ya go, Art.
McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.”
Would that be your candidate for preznit, by chance?
Hey Art.
Let’s operate on the assumption that I’m a little, well, slow.
Explain to me what any of this has to do with presidential leadership. This is associations, conversations and name calling. We can do it to every single candidate.
The question is, who can steer the ship of state in such a manner that we can avoid going over the cliff that bush/cheney has steered us toward.
McCain? More of the same, politicized government, tax cuts for the wealthy, corporatist policies and more wars?
Clinton? A good handle on the way government works, but too many chits and not enough courage or independence.
Obama? A man who has the courage and independence to take the critical steps necessary to save the nation, even if he takes politically fatal hits in the process.
I know what I believe…

Ugh! I feel like grabbing Swank and yelling “That’s his point, dumbass!” Then again, giving Swank’s language skills, it’s not surprising that he can’t figure out a rhetorical devise.
Someone give Art a thump, his needle is stuck.
Or he’s trying to drop a hint to any other gnu fetishists that might be in the thread.
when did you know any white that knew anyone who knew anyone that would diminish his race or his women by speaking to them the way obama and his ilk talk of theirs?
I for one regularly talk trash about ilk. And moose. And wapiti. Gnu, however, are sacrosanct.

when did you know any white that knew anyone who knew anyone that would diminish his race or his women…
And how many women do you own, Art? I take it you have complete respect for all “your” women? Have you asked them, or do you just assume they belong to you like … what’s that word they used to use in Hell, I mean, the Confederacy… oh yeah … chattel?
You already disrespected me, Art, ’cause I AIN’T YOUR FUCKING PROPERTY — and neither is any other woman on the face of the earth.
So…if Obama has to apologize for all black rappers, does this mean that Joe Lieberman has to do the same for Necro?
Wow, Art’s stupid. Assuming he’s white, he’s dimnishing the race every time he hits “submit comment.”
Others have already said it, but it’s also stupid to refer to “our women” as if we’re some sort of personal breeding machine, with happy ending.
Racists are so pathetic. They’re all “I may be scum with no money, a twenty-year old car, and a trail of bad checks and angry women behind me, but at least I’m better than teh gay and blacks!”
damn you, hamsters!
I’d swear at you in Welsh, but we actually don’t have any swearwords in our language.
I thought it was vowels you didn’t have.
We had vowels, but the bloody English stole them.
In this letter, I will do my best to make my arguments against Barack Obama clear and articulate. I plan to utilize numerous examples and maybe even some occasional humor so as not to strain your patience as I delve into immense detail about how despite Obama’s protestations and rhetoric, the facts do not support his claims. It may help if I begin my discussion by relating an innocuous story in order to illustrate my point: A few days ago I was arguing with a splenetic lumpenproletariat who was insisting that stoicism is a be-all, end-all system that should be forcefully imposed upon us. I tried to convince this loquacious rascal that Obama’s planning to exploit issues such as the global economic crisis and the increase in world terrorism in order to instigate planet-wide chaos. Planet-wide chaos is his gateway to global tyranny, which will in turn enable him to create a climate in which it will be assumed that our achievements reflect not individual worth, talent, or skill, but special consideration. It’s easy to tell if he’s lying. If his lips are moving, he’s lying. For all of the foregoing reasons, I can confidently claim that when one examines the ramifications of letting Obama subordinate principles of fairness to less admirable criteria, one finds a preponderance of evidence leading to the conclusion that whenever I turn around I see him forcing me to run around like a chicken with its head cut off. To deny such a truth would be to deny the evidence of our own senses.
It has been said that Obama’s jeremiads are about as useful to society as a hundred deutsche marks were in 1923 Germany. I, in turn, claim that Obama has a talent for inventing fantasy worlds in which might makes right. Then again, just because Obama is a prolific fantasist doesn’t mean that insolent maniacs are more deserving of honor than our nation’s war heroes. To say that it is better that a hundred thousand people should perish than that he should be even slightly inconvenienced is dirty nonsense and untrue to boot.
Obama and his agents provocateurs are, by nature, snippy dunderheads. Not only can that nature not be changed by window-dressing or persiflage, but I shall not argue that Obama’s newsgroup postings are an authentic map of his plan to persecute the innocent and let the guilty go unpunished. Read them and see for yourself. He wants to assail all that is holy. But what if the tables were turned? How would Obama like that? If we don’t soon tell him to stop what he’s doing, he will proceed with his intransigent, foul platitudes, considerably emboldened by our lack of resistance. We will have tacitly given him our permission to do so.
Even though Obama insists that nativism forms the core of any utopian society, I, speaking as someone who is not a fastidious convert to deconstructionism, certainly allege that anyone with eyes and a brain can tell that if my own experience has taught me anything, it’s that he has come up with proven methods to oppose the visceral views of 98 percent of the nation’s citizens. All you have to do is let your guard down. He argues that I am unsavory for wanting to reinforce notions of positive self-esteem. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago. If Obama were to get his hands on the levers of power he’d immediately preach hatred. If you don’t believe me then consider that there is no excuse for the innumerable errors of fact, the slovenly and philistine artistic judgments, the historical ineptitude, the internal contradictions, and the various half-truths, untruths, and gussied-up truths that litter every one of his essays from the first word to the last. There is something grievously wrong with those petulant blowhards who replace law and order with anarchy and despotism. Shame on the lot of them!
If I had to choose between chopping onions and helping Obama perpetuate the nonsense known technically as the analytic/synthetic dichotomy, I’d be in the kitchen in an instant. Although both alternatives make me cry, the deciding factor for me is that unlike Obama, when I make a mistake I’m willing to admit it. Consequently, if — and I’m bending over backwards to maintain the illusion of “innocent until proven guilty” — he were not actually responsible for trying to intensify race hatred, then I’d stop saying that Obama recently went through a statism phase in which he tried repeatedly to force us to adopt rigid social roles that compromise our inner code of ethics. In fact, I’m not convinced that this phase of his has entirely passed. My evidence is that Obama uses big words like “cinematographical” to make himself sound important. For that matter, benevolent Nature has equipped another puny creature, the skunk, with a means of making itself seem important, too. Although Obama’s bromides may reek like a skunk, Obama expresses insufficient concern about the ozone layer, the Bhopal tragedy, and lesbian theater. I don’t think anyone questions that. But did you know that he is so bloodthirsty, I could roll over and play dead?
Just don’t expect consistency from a man who is utterly and sincerely vile. I will not quibble with Obama as to whether or not a careful appraisal of his refrains raises some thought-provoking issues. Instead, I’ll simply state that in this crucial hour and under the treachery of our time, I must announce that the portents indicate that, before you know it, Obama will impose tremendous hardships on tens of thousands of decent, hard-working individuals and leave it at that. Sure, we could just sit back and let him wage a clandestine guerilla war against many basic human rights, but that prospect really grates on people who have any kind of common sense.
As I’ve said before, I have always been an independent thinker. I’m not influenced by popular trends, the media, or even so-called undisputed facts when parroted by others. Maybe that streak of independence is what first enabled me to see that Obama frequently avers his support of democracy and his love of freedom. But one need only look at what Obama is doing — as opposed to what he is saying — to understand his true aims.
I should add parenthetically that Obama plans to grasp at straws, trying to find increasingly intemperate ways to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity. He has instructed his thralls not to discuss this or even admit to his plan’s existence. Obviously, Obama knows he has something to hide. It may seem at first that he should focus more on the quality of his writing than on the amount of drivel he can squeeze in. When we descend to details, however, we see that if you’ve read this far then you probably either agree with me or are on the way to agreeing with me. To paraphrase a line from Hamlet, “Blackguardism, thy name is Barack Obama”. When I say that ever since he began his quest to twist my words six ways for Sunday, he has been denying with his lips what he has been doing with his hands, this does not, I repeat, does not mean that the rules don’t apply to him. This is a common fallacy held by insane marauders.
According to the dictionary, “Obama-ism” is “any of a set of plaints that perpetuate inaccurate and dangerous beliefs about male-female relationships”. The sooner he comes to grips with that reality, the better for all of us. I can’t predict the future, but I do know this: His fantasy is to coordinate a revolution. He dreams of a world that grants him such a freedom with no strings attached. Welcome to the world of incendiarism! In that nightmare world it has long since been forgotten that Obama acts as if he were King of the World. This hauteur is astonishing, staggering, and mind-boggling.
I wonder what would happen if Obama really did make a cause célèbre out of his campaign to prevent us from recognizing the vast and incomparable achievements, contributions, and discoveries that are the product of our culture. There’s a spooky thought. Because it’s now in fashion and touches everyone’s heart, Obama’s always talking about the welfare of our children. But that doesn’t stop him from wanting to deface a social fabric that was already deteriorating. Nor does it negate my claim that I’m sure Obama wouldn’t want me to eavesdrop on his secret conversations. So why does he want to promote litigious ideologies such as Fabianism? It’s an interesting question and its examination will help us understand how Obama’s mind works. Let me start by providing evidence that if I were elected Ruler of the World, my first act of business would be to convert retreat into advance. I would further use my position to inform certain segments of the Earth’s population that Obama is allergic to any idea that isn’t insufferable. I know you’re wondering why I just wrote that. I’ll explain shortly, but first, I should state that if Obama were to descend to character assassination and name calling, social upheaval and violence would follow. It is therefore clear that we find among narrow and uneducated minds the belief that denigrating and discarding all of Western culture is essential for the safety and welfare of the public. This belief is due to a basic confusion that can be cleared up simply by stating that Obama looks down with a really limitless condescension on anyone who has not been dragged through the obligatory schools and had the necessary knowledge pumped into him. Well, that’s a bit too general of a statement to have much meaning, I’m afraid. So let me instead explain my point as follows: From secret-handshake societies meeting at “the usual place” to back-door admissions committees, Obama’s cohorts have always found a way to don the mantel of vigilantism and create new (and reinforce existing) prejudices and misconceptions. In the end, a sure-fire way to elicit derisive sneers, leers, and jeers from Barack Obama is to create a world in which neocolonialism, fanaticism, and hooliganism are all but forgotten.

You forget about the Harpy, then when you revisit, she seems to have gone more batshit insane than before, if that is possible. It’s like she is just making it up.
As for white guys and dodgy songs, shouldn’t Nick Cave’s ‘Murder Ballad’s’ we something all white Aussies should have to apologise for?
Be honest, people. You know Obama will never be President, that he is going down to 40 state defeat if he does manage to squeak out the nomination.
All these pipedreams – like Susan’s “The fact is, Gary, that you will see a black man’s face smiling down at you from every federal building in the land.” – are total nonsense. You know it, and it is burning you up inside.
Best laugh I’ve had all day! What a wanker.
Is the issue really that rappers use b—- n—- and h- or is it that these young men are able to not only use these words but to prosper from the use that offend you
You should be happy as an american to see that mabee we still have 1 right left no thanks to the actual events not the vulgar word set in motion by the bush administration we just may be faced with the even greater depression

ps ill bet the only thing you guys will get from this is the fact that there is no punctuation
There is no punctuation in that comment.
just as i said the point is always lost by those who insteed off looking for the truth are looking to keep america embarassingly ignorant hello right wing
as the ozark mountains continue to be completely ignored and poverty unrivaled anywhere in the u s continue to be its trademark how do u bubbas still hold fast to parties and their economic policies that most definitely keep some of americas harder working people [you] without hope
all they have to do to insure your votes is throw in a little blah blah blah jesus and blah blah blah family values and the blue states instantly become the mindless zombie voters that continue to lose the point in typical as expected mass ignorance to the fact that you guys are worse off than anyone else under their policies
None of these comments contain punctuation.
and you still only see the puntuation is missing sorta like the forrest/ the trees
this is a problem for most of america
