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'.
