Thou Shalt Not Criticize The President
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 01:26 AM by dutchdemocrat

During "A Concert for Hurricane Relief" airing on N-B-C and other networks, rapper Kanye (KAHN'-yay) West blasted President Bush for the slow start to the recovery effort. West alleged, in his words, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." He also claims America is set up to help the poor "as slow as possible." The comments were heard when the program aired on the East Coast, but censored from the taped show played later on the West Coast.

1. I'm in the central time zone
and we got it. My daughter told me about it.
She also elaborated on the 'negroes' comments made by my mother (her grandmother)
We get it. Everyone else sees what is going on there!

3. It's on Crooks and Liars
They aren't going to contain this. The end is near, hopefully just for the Bush administration.

4. I really appreciate that they did the fundraiser, but
reading from a script is easy. Standing up and speaking from your heart like he did takes balls. I have an immense amount of respect for Kanye.

And regardless of the fact that he was censored from the west coast broadcast, they keep replaying his words on the cable news in their recaps. This will not be buried.

5. Wingnuts like Drudge will attempt to make Kanye THE story.
It's already started.

DON'T LET THEM MAKE THIS ABOUT KANYE WEST.
