...Mrs. Clinton, you may recall, took umbrage at Imus's remarks, branding them "small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism." His words, she said in an e-mail to supporters, "showed a disregard for basic decency and were disrespectful and degrading to African Americans and women everywhere."
Good for her, I say, except it must be asked why she was down in Florida making nice to -- and pocketing big bucks from -- a rapper whose obscenity-laced lyrics praise violence, perpetuate racist stereotypes and demean black women.
Check out Timbaland's latest album, "Timbaland Presents Shock Value."
Here are lyrics from the track "Come and Get Me":
"Nigga Your Time Is Up,
I Aint Come To Kid You
I Knew You Niggas Was Dumb,
But How Dumb Is You . . .
I'm A Ride Or Die Nigga, I Be Tearing [expletive] Up
We Aint Like Them Other Fools, Who Don't Compare To Us
All The Hoes Love A Nigga, They be Backing It Up
But Me I Love Money I Be Stacking It Up . . .
I'm Rich I Can Pay To Have You Six Feet Deep (Nigga)"
And from his track "Kill Yourself":
" . . . most of u rap niggas is hoes to me, wherever u from the question I ask is do u think I give a [expletive] . . .u mad at me? cuz im getting rich, well put the pistol to ur head and empty the clip, pop nigga!"

Here’s her full version:
Obama, Your Time Is Up,
I Aint Come To Debate You
I Knew You African-Americans Was Undereducated,
But How Undereducated Are You . . .
I’m A Vote Or Lose Girl, I Be Tearing Dems Up
We Aint Like Them Other Dems, Who Don’t Compare To Us
All The Stars Love A Clinton, They be Backing It Up
But Me I Love Money I Be Stacking It Up
I’m Rich I Can Pay To Have You Outvoted
You’ll Be So Down You Won’t Be Quoted
In the New York Times;
You’ll Be Begging for Dimes.
bump to the top. Rank hypocrisy is the order of the day amongst the radical left. I suppose the rapper is protected because he is black; Imus is condemned because he is white. It is little different, in my view, from the rampant racism of the 1950’s.
