“So Lupe played one anti-war song for 30 min and said he didn’t vote for Obama,” he continued, ”and eventually was told to move on to the next song…Lupe refused to move to the next song so a team of security guards came on stage and told him to go.”

I don't understand why they would have allowed him to perform to begin with.

They wanted a high visibility target for IRS audit and to close him out from gigs as a warning to others so inclined to dis the won.

I’m guessing they made an assumption that he was on their side.

You would think a psychopath like this guy would be welcomed with open arms by the Obamunists.

I guess the useful idiot wasn’t useful enough.

I guess it’s safe to say that the concert was a total fiasco.

Two years ago, the NOI was saying the same thing about the President as the rapper. He didn’t get the new “smile and say yessah” memo from the NOI.

$10 says the rapper thinks Obama isn’t liberal ENOUGH. He’s no conservative, he is to the left of the ‘Bamster.

Poor fool. Doesn’t he realize that criticizing American wars and calling the president a terrorist is a tool that only can be used against Republicans?

Because racist democrats believe all blacks must support Obama.

Thanks Hoodat.
...after going on an anti-war, anti-Obama rant... Josh Rogin, a reporter with Foreign Policy magazine, tweeted late Sunday, "...played one anti-war song for 30 min and said he didn't vote for Obama... and eventually was told to move on to the next song... Lupe refused to move to the next song so a team of security guards came on stage and told him to go." ...the rapper, born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, has been vocal about his dislike for [Zero] ...called [Zero] a terrorist... said, "My fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama and the United States of America..."
It must have been that good, solid, anti-US stance that got him booked to perform in the first place.

You know I hate rap but any black rapper that speaks out against the tyrant in chief may make me donate to their cause just the same...
