New Eminem "Vote" Video Seems to Be Advocating Revolution.

This is the type of image that makes me fear next week could get bloody. I think it is incredibly irresponsible of Eminem.

He completely doesn't understand politics. Bad message. He'll look back when he's older and fell stupid.
He was quoted as saying he didn't want his little brother to get drafted... The MSM/Dem lie machine apparently worked on him. He did stop short of saying anything positve about Kerry though... lol

I wouldn't sweat it. Like I have said before, if it all works out like it increasingly looks, Kerry & co will have to try and challenge 5 or 6 state results simultaneously in order to get to 270 EVs.

That scene will look completely absurd to everyone but the nuttiest of the liberal nuts. They will be loud, petulant, & angry, but not notably violent.

"I'm John Kerry and I approved this video."

I'm no fan of the video but it should be noted that at the end they all stand in line to vote.

True, but that seems almost like an afterthought. Plus, the image of the Bush picture with the knife in it is disturbing.

I don't need to see his video to know that his message will be devoid of reason and wisdom.

My concern is, when did you start expecting Eminem to be an advocate for responsibility?

What the video didn't show was them getting in line again and again to vote.

I doubt he'll look back & feel stupid, he's already stupid! Can he even read?

How about the newspaper clippings with 'Bush Knew' prominently displayed? That got to me.

Maybe, maybe not. Growing older hasn't done the trick for KRS-One.

Yeah right. Just like John Kerry has become wiser and more responsible in his old age.

Everyone grows old; not everyone grows up.

This line pisses me off as well:

* Maybe we can reach Al Qaida through my speech

How naive is this jerk? He thinks he's so important that he can convince Al-Qaida to lay off?

Can we really expect anything else though? He is the Bob Dylan of my generation. Its difficult to seperate my deep and staunch disagreement with everything in that video with the fact that I happen to be a big fan of his. His irresponsible contentions make it tough to swallow, but I will continue to enjoy his music and brash style.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. I think it's terribly responsible of him

Anyone can see the boiling point will approach if Bush doesn't go

[lil-petunia]

2. I don't nee to see it to know that it's devoid of reason & wisdom

It's a bloody PR video, jerk.
When your website starts showing reason and wisdom, so will his videos.

[Union Thug]

3. right, and don't forget..

...he will look back and 'fell stupid'.

[requiem99]

4. Here is the problem:

Eminem doesn't really mean any of it. He's in it for the money and the publicity. Look at the rest of the stuff he regularly harps on: All stuff designed to get him as much publicity as possible, good or bad.

Having him on our side is a curse in disguise, but if it helps us get out the black vote this year so be it. I'll go back to making fun of him on November 3.

[russian33]

6. I'd have to disagree with 'Eminem is in it for money'

He's swimming in it. Read an interview with him in Rolling Stones (don't have a link handy).

[pacalo]

12. I agree!!

[Weembo]

10. He means it

Don't attribute the methods of his vehicle (rappers puffing themselves) to the motives of his message (throw the bums out).

[w4rma]

13. Go watch that video, requiem99. He means it. You can tell by the details

he has put into his work. You can tell by emotions his work provokes. Heck, at one point he even says he could be "sniped" for telling folks to fight. He knows what he is getting into and he means it.

Thread with downloads here (and on DU's front page):
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1170806

[requiem99]

16. I've seen it, I liked it a lot even though I hate rap, but I don't believe

it at all. I hope he really does mean it, but his career is a mosaic of contradiction and smug self centeredness. He might truly want Bush out, and on THAT issue, I am willing to take him at his word... for 1 more week anyway, assuming Kerry gets elected.

If not, we're going to need everyone we can get on our side, from all corners of the country, no matter what background they've got.

[aeolian]

14. So, because he has said things in the past to make money

and sell records, he can't have a legitimate, personal opinion on national politics?

[MADem]

18. Black vote???

More like white suburban kid vote...but any vote will do.

[DuaneBidoux]

5. Funny, they didn't seem upset when he bashed Gays.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. That's What Made Them Think Eminem Was One Of Them..

Much of his lyrics are and were satire...

[soothsayer]

7. I don't think he'll fell stupid

Freeper typos crack me up...!

(o no, i'm petty!)

[Raven Macabre]

9. I like it

I know it's a critical video to get those records to sell, but so what? It's a damn good song, it energizes and it'll definately get out more voters. Maybe cause I'm at the upper end of gen y but I dig his raps, his beat, bash him all ya want but still pound for pound he's one of the best if not THE best rappers out right now (this coming from a guy who listens to manson and industrial/post rock) and anything that helps us win is a boon.

[Southsideirish]

23. Proud and pleased as punch is how he will fell.

[eurolefty]

8. Voting against Bush = Revolution ???

Whatever.. :silly:

[w4rma]

15. Yes. Revolutions are best fought without violence. Violence is the LAST

resort.

[JusticeForAll]

11. Go Eminem

How totally responsible...taking the blinders off younger voters. Very good!

[okieinpain]

17. " "He'll look back when he's older and fell stupid. ", hahahaha!!!!1

[obnoxiousdrunk]

20. Reading their crap

makes me FELL stupid.

[okieinpain]

21. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[Anaxamander]

24. All of those freepholes are going to FELL STUPID on Nov 2 (nt)

[ellie]

22. I just saw the video

It's great! Good for him.

[Democat]

25. The same guys who loved Team America are now bashing this?

It's funny to see them flip flop on the value of cartoons and entertainment as a way to influence voters.

[Tsiyu]

26. I fell so bad for freepers

And I absolutely adore when they start taling about growing up and all that. As if they aren't all over there advocating violence and terrorism against Democrats on a daily basis.

BwaHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mooky]

27. I read this

I started laughing
I FELL
Stupid.
