Ludacris Provides Obama With More Unwelcome Help (but Obama will take the vote from the Hood)
Washington Post ^ | 7/31/2008 | Laura Yao

Once again, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is hurt by the ones who love him.

On YouTube yesterday, rapper Ludacris released a song called "Politics," in which he denigrates President Bush, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) -- all in the space of about two minutes.

"Well, give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer/Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president," he raps. In the next line, the three-time Grammy Award winner calls Clinton an "irrelevant [slur for female]." He goes on to suggest that 71-year-old McCain belongs in a wheelchair rather than the White House.

I’m sure this song, and others like it work well at relieving rural America’s bitterness.

Here is where the word, “typical”, comes to mind immediately.

Obama will probably pick this as his campaign theme song at the convention next month.

How about Bambi’s iPod entry of “Move B$tch”?

A sure sign of a man of character, a man that glorifies God with his life.

Obama went to some small towns in Missouri yesterday and the MSM wouldn't even show the crowd size but based on the lack of sounds those crowds were small.

If it's a ringtone on your kid's cellphone, you might want to have a word with him.

Yeah, that’ll resonate with the American electorate at large.

And what a coup for Obama, sewing up that rapper vote. As if any of them were on the fence, considering voting for McCain—those that can vote, anyway, laws being what they are regarding voting provileges while on parole or following a felony conviction.

He sure doesn’t have nice things to say about white people, doesn’t he?

Ludacris must have got some of “Rev.” Wright’s sermons...

Ludacris is a an O’reilly nemesis, do you think he’ll go after this story or take a pass still hoping for that Obama interview?

FTA:

This is about beginning the grinding and painful process of rooting out this kind of hate language and behavior whenever and wherever it exists," Rosemary Camposaro, the group's communications director, said in a statement. "The Democratic leadership have pledged to unhinge our nation from gender-bias, hate-language and misogyny and we are taking them at their word."

As the Bard said, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." At this point the Messiah is going to have to eat so much s**t to appease the incensed Clintonoid females that he'll end up weighing 400 lb. before it's al over with.

Does Obama associate with any upstanding patriotic Americans?

Even a single one who really loves this country and does not want to tear it down?

“Ludacris must have got some of “Rev.” Wright’s sermons...”

Maybe he was a closet deacon! He certainly fits the profile for BLT. (Black Liberation Theology)

Would that account for his big grin?

It’s so rare to see the ‘Rat’s true intentions in plain speech...

I’ve listened to the “song” and even for Rap and Ludacris it is terrible. Usually with Rap you can count on some flowing rhythm, but this is disjointed and choppy.

In his song, Ludacris calls himself Obama's favorite rapper, perhaps because the candidate said in a June interview with Rolling Stone that he listens to Ludacris on his iPod.

Another one under the bus! PJ, this could be a DUFU Video Edition!
