FlaSoxxJim Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Come on. . . You are just angling to be invited to the WH for beers with Kanye and the President when the summit is called to hash out the misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeNukeEm Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The more I think about this thread the more it frustrates me: 1) Its the end of the world if Obama says white cops are stupid for arresting a man in his home. But when Obama calls one of them uppity negro rapper types a "jackass" the whole of the right cant help but seize the oppurtunity to... 2) ... make it sound like they dont hate Obama and merely assault everything, even so innocuous as a speech to kids telling them reading is cool, for partisan purposes. If something is inconsequential enough they can muster up the energy to agree with Obama! Oh my! The bipartisanship! Too bad that African Nazi Socialist Terrorist is trying to trying to destroy this country, because he really hit the nail on the head when it came to that Kanye West guy.

FlaSoxxJim Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Ach, it's a snarky bit of a thread that nobody needs to get bent out of shape over. We all know Alpha's political bent, so the over-the-top allcaps is a nice lead-in to the snark that you know is coming. In other words, Lighten Up Francis.

bmags Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The absurd thing is the vindication of these awards that by all accounts started out as a joke and are more embarrassingly irrelevant than even the grammys. If this was Taylor Swift's moment in the sun, than a plague on both houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I respect that she was the most pleasant thing on the otherwise tortorous radio station we were forced to listen to at my restaurant. But, did I mind Kanye West cutting her "THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME THE GRACE TO GET A FAKE AWARD" speech off to provide some entertainment to the world. Granted I didn't see it. But the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what the stage was or how much the award truly "mattered"; he was an ass, and it was completely uncalled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was meant in a more light-hearted way, but since you brought it up....When Obama called the cops stupid, he had not seen the incident, but merely reacted to what someone had told him had happened. i don't know if whoever informed him what had happened had used the words 'white cop' or not, but Obama didn't either. And in case you forgot, the other cop on the scene there was black. Obama got flack for calling COPS stupid, Not a WHITE cop. And in reference to 'them uppity negro rapper types', once again the only person who mentioned race was you. Kanye has some talent, but he is still a jackass, whether he be black, white or green. Oh, and he hates fish sticks. And lastly, I don't hate Obama. I hate the job he is dong and most of the political positions he has, but I couldn't care one way or another about the man himself.

FlaSoxxJim Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Ach, truth is I wouldn't know who Taylor Swift is if she bit me on the ankle, and I'm pretty sure I've never heard any of her songs and cartainly wouldn't recognize them. Of course, I'm an old Fart and could practically say the same thing about this Kanye feller, whoever he is. After all, I'm old enough to remember when they actually played music videos on MTV.

No Alpha Dog, I'm not the only one who mentions race. I'm just trying to show off a bit of a double standard being displayed by people who in an effort to destroy anything Obama is trying to do will call him racist as often as possible. Imagine if Taylor Swift had interrupted Kanye West at the VMA's and Obama called her a jackass? This whole situation would've been a lot less innocent. I dont think you're actually racist Alpha Dog, but right now it's the politically expedient thing to do. So if it means playing the oppressed majority card to further entrench yourself then so be it.
