NAS PROTEST WHILE TOPPING THE CHARTS

ColorofChange.org and MoveOn.org plan to distribute more than 600 000 petitions outside of the FOX News headquarters in Manhattan.
And it appears all this publicity is not only good for the hip hop artist’s cred, but it’s also good for his bank account. His new, untitled album took over the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart after selling 187 000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That pushes Lil Wayne down to No. 2 with 105 000 sold.
Who knew protest and commerce could get along so harmoniously?

If it weren’t for FOX and all the other news organizations being in love with Obama, we wouldn’t even have him as the nominee. It would have been Hillary except the liberal networks all fell all over themselves in worshipping Barack.
This only points up the fact that white America cannot win against black America. The blacks have the whites by the balls, and they always want it both ways. They get their nominee and then bitch because he is not getting a free ride to the White House.
Look at what just happened this week. Jesse Jackson uses the N word towards Obama, while always coming down on any white who used the word. Then on the View Whoopi jumps down Elizabeth’s ass because black people are allowed to use the N word, while white people are not. Now black people know that this double standard will not help eliminate racism; they don’t want it eliminated. They can always use racism as an excuse for anything. Can you say OJ !!!!!

the mainstream media hates fox because they are unbiased and have the ratings to prove it. people are tired of being lied to and are turning to fox for fair and balanced news Fox forces the rest of them to tell the truth eventually, like obamas crazy pastor the media tried to cover it up for months and fox was pounding away until all the networks were forced to report it.

If it weren’t for Fox exposing liberal bias in the media, we would have canada’s or england’s media. I personally think it’s healthy to see all sides and right now our media is 95% biased.

This little nugget came from a story on Rupert Murdoch’s gloomy take on the economy at a recent conference:
So is he optimistic about anything? Yes, he is: He’s cautiously intrigued by… Barack Obama. Murdoch, who said that he was responsible for the New York Post’s endorsement of Obama during the New York primary, said he wasn’t ready to endorse Obama or to vote for him. But he’s pretty close: “I want to be convinced that Obama is the real thing, that can really carry through. I’m open to that.”
On McCain: “has been in Congress a long time, and you have to make a lot of compromises. So what’s he really stand for?… I think he has a lot of problems.”
What on earth with Fox News do if Murdoch comes out for Obama? Brit Hume’s head might explode.

Obama is like a trend all the rage today gone tomorrow.

Black people don’t really want racism to end. It’s there excuse for any and everything they do wrong. They always turn it around to what was done wrong to them.

As a democrat I am so disgusted by the blatant obama bias in the media that I will not vote at all.
July 23rd, 2008 at 7:44 pm
as usual the mainstream media is sweeping under the rug Democrat John Edwards caught cheating on cancer stricken wife and love child at Beverly hotel . Cause he is being considered as obamas vice president. Lets see betcha fox will report it first for weeks forcing the rest to follow.

“How do guns that say Made in Austria, Israel…how do they wind up in our neighborhood”- Nas on Comedy Central’s
The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert. His position that in order to quell gun violence, the source of weapons need
to be confronted.
“Watch what you’re watchin’ Fox keeps feedin us toxins”…”I watch CBS and see B.S., makes a brother wanna invest
in PBS”
yes! I think he’s doing a great thing, and hopefully it will influence other influentials to take his lead.

You people (or person) are pathetic. No seriously, are you paid to do this?

this guy says black people don’t want racism to end, so we can use it as an excuse for everything, u sound real ignorant, believe or not that shit still exist, aaaahhh this society will never change, people always talk about situations they themselves never experience, and another thing y do u care if black people use the n word to another black person, they use it differently than a white person uses it, it’s not for you, why do you care? Justice will never be served on stolen land

I am black and choose not to be a victim therefore I do not worry about racism. I have a grrrreat job and a wonderful life with friends of all races. Only you choose to be victim of racism.

Nice Publicity stunt Nas. CD not selling well.
what a joke from a guy who glorifies misogyny and violence.

The whole “I rap about what I see” in the “hood” is such BS. These rappers are frauds who have never shot a fly and were low level drug dealers at best and are now glorifying death and destruction. To hell with the black neighborhoods they say, as long as they get paid.
