Go back to your little sheltered life with FOX, ignoring bs wars and a trampled constitution.

It is about time someone said something about Fox. They have crossed the line of decency more often than I can remember. The one that took the cake was the comment Bill O'reilly made about the possibility of Lynching Michelle Obama through a 'lynching party'. They just made a comment that the assassination of Barack Obama would be a welcomed act. And to all you people who listen to Fox and and think what they are saying is not that bad, I have bad news for you. You are bigots and racists even if you don't want to admit it to yourselves. It is sad because your attitudes will be the downfall of the human race. Or maybe you just have a problem with (according to Bill O'reilly) the browning of America.

I am so proud of Nas for standing up to FOX and their so called 'friends'. Racist white people no longer where sheets to to hide their faces as the try to destroy black people. They now wear suits and carry briefcases. Their greatest fear has now become a reality, a black man will become president of the United States of America. Since they can not find fault in him they create it. They still see us as slaves in their eyes but that is all about to change. FOX does not report the news they report hate. Educate yourself because that is something they can never take away from you.

A miscegenist rapper is protesting against Fox for racist comments about Obama ,and he has thousands of supporters. He is backed by the ever virtuous 'Moveon. org.'. Sounds like a lot of reasons to turn away from Obama based on the fact that his entire powerbase is left leaning,racist,thugs. Is this shape shifter Obama a candidate for everyone or just Blacks? His supporters have injected some very racist views into this campaign and it appears that an Obama presidency will not unify us,its gonna promote a race war!

If you knew anything about Nas you would know he is not trying to sell records. I don't care what you think of rap but anybody who knows rap knows that Nas is a pioneer since the late 80's. If you listen to nas's new albums and old albums he touches the same topics. Nas is not a one hit wonder and definelty doesn't catchy singles to sell millions once. Just by Nas doing what he has done is the last couple days is a showcase of whats to come, with his credibility there will be some very strong individuals to support him in whatever he attempts as far or outrageous as it seems. Who else can get 600,000 petitions signed that quick are you kidding me. This isn't some hippie stoned up tryin to make a statement this is real my friends. Don't even mention 'gangster rap' and if you do definetly don't mention nas with it. This guy can raise your kids off his records better then you would ever do in the flesh Black or white....Cowards

Well if felt good to hear. Was almost like I was called to get up and pay attention. A poet such as NAS.??? Look out fox. This is some well versed eloquantly put wisdom. Thats what comes from NAS. twenty years worth of albums teaching morals and values. The likes of wich are not understood by many people because they can't see past the 'RAP' aspect. Take what he said on the report last night for example. Take away the beats, write it on paper and put it in a book. It will still ring with the sound of truth. And many people who are too shallow for his music might get ' The Message' no pun intended. I would help the guy if he asked.

I saw the performance and was thoroughly impressed, Nas is a very skilled wordsmith, lyricist. A lot of it will go over your head if you don't listen, one of his lines that caught my attention was 'The Fox has a bushy tail/And Bush tells/Lies and Foxtrots'. He also talks about the hypocrisy of rupert murdock and the corporation, the same company that promotes rap on myspace bashes it on fox news. Another favorite line wasStop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin'.

Dee, I think you are being racist right now. You say they are filled with hate, and that they hate blacks, because they are white people in suits and have briefcases. Aren't you being racist to all the suit and briefcase people?

And no faults in Obama? Please....
He has every fault in him. Like how he is taking his trip over to Europe and the Middle East, and telling them what his forgien policys would be. He's acting like he's already the president. He's acting like he's the Supreme Commander of the World! What he is doing is undermining the FP's we have now. And there is some law about that. Logan's law or something...
And does he have a correct birth certificate. I've looked very closely at the one that his site, and the dailykos have. There is so many things wrong with it.

And what about all the other news stations that report hate against President Bush? That's all they DO! Out of 10 liberal stations, I believe we have the right to 1 conservative one, that can speak the truth. I'm tired about all the bashing of Bush. That's hate 'news' for you right there!

And they ARE trying to educate you, but you just don't choose to listen!

Now here is a little senario.

A tree falls down in the woods, and no one is around to hear it. Does it make noise? Yes, it will always make noise. But if no one is around to hear it, does it matter if the falling tree makes noise or not? No. It's still going to fall. And guess what? Life goes on. If you don't like what you see, change the channel. That way, you don't hear what they are saying, and your life will go on. If they truly are 'racist', let God take care of them.

Besides. They have the Freedom to say whatever they want.

Logistically anything on cable is not bound by the laws of actual News channels that are on basic channels. They can say whatever they want without fear of suit or apologies because Fox, Cnn, and so forth are considered “entertainment news channels” so they cannot be sued due to racist comments, slander, etc. This is dangerous because the majority of the population does not know or understand this amongst many other things. Remember the previous election? When Kerry was running there was a terror threat every day of the week until Mr. Douche was re elected. I loved the little graph with the colors telling any idiot that would believe it that we were under constant terrorist threat. Today yellow, tomorrow RED! Run for the hills! This is another Mason stratagem used by the media power house run by Murdock and his Mason society buddies. So I am not surprised in the least that Fox makes racist comments about Obama or anyone else for that matter. In my opinion they have cause much more notable damage. Now we all now that in the media the words Mason, Scull and Bones, Illuminati and so forth are taboo. No one will touch the subject. If you need proof on how dangerous any mention of this topic can be to an individual youtube: (student, tazored, Florida University) and my point will be clear! Last time I saw a special on the yearly secret meetings privately held by these organization was on PBS. I was happy to hear Nas reference the only free media currently available in his “little diddy”. No one is allowed within miles of the compound and the military presence is felt. But as it turns out our president has managed to kill 3 million innocent people and 50k of our own citizens. When congress released the report proving after a lengthy investigation that the current administration has lied repeatedly, fabricated documents and evidence and fired any state attorney unwilling to participate in the lies and corruption consuming our nation. CNN and Fox had nothing to say about it, neither did your local news, infact, Peter Jennings mentioned it in passing with a photo of a piece of paper on the background. Katie Kourick had a more important subject to discuss, fashion of the Hollywood elites. So don’t be shocked that gas prices are so high, it was the plan all along. Don’t you see? If prices are higher we will cave and let the Mason that not only hold hands but are oil tycoons like um, our president, drill of shore in restricted areas. Additionally it allows them to benefit en masse from the reserves they have left. Because any fool that goes home after work and reads a book on current events instead of turning on the TV knows that this was planned along time ago in the 90’s in a hall with the richest most powerful white men in our nation and from the UK. Honestly if you have to listen to Nas to get the facts then you’ve had you’re eyes closed for the past 20 years. I am just grateful that someone is finally speaking out about this. I hope he doesn’t end up dying in a mysterious drive by like you know who and you know who else, or assassinated by a “mentally instable middle easterner” like Bobby Kennedy. Oh, or assassinated by a “killer communist with a Russian riffle from the 1940’s” like JFK. Did anyone out there see the Zapruder film and that officer on the motorcycle grin at the president after his head exploded? Hmm who else? MLK and the list goes on. Oh by the way www://loosechange911.com
I’ve already said too much! Good Night and Good Luck!
