Eminem investigated?
They're freakin' kidding, right?
The Secret Service has launched a preliminary investigation to determine if a lyric from rapper Eminem was meant as a threat to President Bush.The lyric comes from a bootleg Eminem recording -- one of several from the rapper making rounds on the Internet over the past week.
In the song called "We Are American," Eminem sings: "(Expletive) money, I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead."
Before anyone gets bent out of shape - they lyrics are Eminem's, and they appeared on CNN's web site. I wish no physical harm to any president - be it the president of the US, General Motors, or Argentina. Thank you.

Of course, even though Eminem raps about killing gays and demeaning women, he gets a pass from the liberals because of the double standard that exists.

That's right, Rich. Do you think that if a conservative singer were to sing about killing gays and abusing women, that the liberals would defend HIS right to free speech? Not a chance!

Rich S. and Joe B.,
You both make valid points. Fortunately such double standards do not exist on the Right.
I see no contradiction whatsoever in Bill Bennett pontificating and bemoaning the deline in America's virtue while, at the same time, gambling away millions of dollars.
Nor do I see a contradiction in Newt Gingrich's holier-than-thou speechifying with him leaving his cancer-ridden wife for a younger woman.
In fact, I really don't know why the Left is knashing its teeth over Limbaugh's apparent conflict in bemoaning our drug-crazen culture and his own 30-pills a day addiction.
Double standards, it's why I love our Blessed Republic the way I do.

Oooh, look at the conservatives being all PC.
It cracks me up how conservos will make fun of political correctness, unless they have a chance to bash a liberal with it.
It's similar to how y'all will snipe at liberals all day, but when a liberal snipes back, you piss and moan about how we're just so mean.
And you'll do it every goddam time. amazing to watch...

Vote Bush/Cheney for four more years of incessant whining. WMD claims not passing the smell test? Waaaah, mean old peaceniks hate Bush. Tax cuts not producing jobs as promised? Waaaah, bad libruls picking on our guy. Administration lies piling up like a bad landfill? Waaaah, why don't people just shut up shut up shut up.
The Rethugs are giving us a bad name.

lets see, an angry ignorant white man who hates gay people and women.... other than hating bush i would have guessed that eminem was a republican....
Posted by justin @ 12/06/2003 12:33 PM NY
excuse me, i meant to say "an angry, ignorant RICH white man, who hates gay people and women"
without the rich part he could just be some poor uneducated cracker, and they vote on both sides (if they vote)

I've never seen such viciousness. Curses everywhere. You people can't argue the issues, only spout hatred.
Posted by Rich S. @ 12/06/2003 12:48 PM NY
Rich:
Want viciousness? Try lucianne.com or freerepublic.com. They actually threaten people's lives on those rational, genteel conservative sites.
Oh, and fuck you. Stop crying, ya big baby. It's unbecoming.
Posted by editor @ 12/06/2003 01:07 PM NY
The "fuck you" part is very telling. It tells that your arguments are coming from pure hatred, not your intellect.
Posted by Rich S. @ 12/06/2003 01:12 PM NY
Oh, and Rich,
You might have missed this little love letter than I got yesterday.
Now tell me about viciousness and cursing again. Lord knows you conservatives have got the moral high ground when it comes to reasoned debate.
For the record, that was sarcasm. Now sack up and get used to how people talk in real life.
Posted by editor @ 12/06/2003 01:13 PM NY
Oh, boo-frickety-hoo, Rich.
My blog, my rules. Don't like it? Go find a knitting blog or something. I'm sick of you sanctimonious assholes coming here and trying to tell me what to post and how to post it.
My God, read your comments. Do you even realize how prissy you sound? You must be a real hoot at parties. Yet another he-man conservative who can dish it out but can't take it. Pathetic.

I don't attend the long-haired maggot-infested dope-smoking parties that you attend. So I don't have to get used to the way people talk at them.
As far as finding another BLOG. I knew it was only a matter of time before your communist intentions to silence dissent would come to the surface.
Why don't you shoot me down the way your communist heros in China do?
Posted by Rich S. @ 12/06/2003 01:28 PM NY
besides even if our arguments are coming from hatred, it is from hatred of evil, it is a rational, intellectual hatred. I hate people like rich with every shred of my intellect. actually I sort of feel sorry for rich. its sad that someone who is obviously intelligent enough to operate a computer could be so ignorant.

Ack! Name-calling! My senses are offended!!! You brute!

'Scuse me. You're the one bitching about the level of discourse here. I know that if I go into a club and I don't like the music or the choice of tap beer, I'm smart enough to leave. As for you, I'm starting to have my doubts as to whether you're smart enough to leave, or whether you just like kvetching.
Why don't you shoot me down the way your communist heros in China do?
'Communists????' BWAA-HAHAHAHA! How 20th Century. How quaint.
Christ, it's 2003. At least call me a terrorist or something, ya dope.

Richard S.,
Seriously, many blogs on the Right and Left tend to use pretty saucy language. However, it's been my experience that some rightwing blogs resort to threats of violence.
Example: Say you post an opposing point of view on a political blog.
Leftwing response: fuck you, you fascist fucktard!
Rightwing response: fuck you, you commie fucktard! I gonna find out where you live and kill your whole family!
See the difference?
Posted by Metropolitan99 @ 12/06/2003 02:54 PM NY
I'm beginning to think that Rich S. is one of those Senior Citizens who's become recently acquainted with the internet, and is shocked by the language.
"You young whippersnappers!"
Hey Grandpa Rich, isn't it time for your medicine? You date yourself when you hurl insults from the fucking 1950s. Dude, red-baiting went out with the fifties, you need to open up a newspaper now and then, say once every ten years. D'you just come out of a fifty year coma? I'm sorry to have to be the one to break it to you, but Senator Mc Carthy is dead, horrible I know, but true. If you want to see what's current in the field of opposition-baiting, see Ann Coulter.

"long-haired maggot infested dope smoking"? I see you're ripping lines off from El Pigman Rush, Rich. And you whine about lack of intellect when you let a lying stoned-out sack of protoplasm write your material for you? Bwah-hah-hah!
BTW, if you're so dedicated to getting shot, I'm sure there's room for you over in Iraq.

Actually, I posted an anti-conservative post on freerepublic.com recently, and no one cussed me out or called me names. They just removed my post and barred me from posting on their site. (so much for free speech) - but I guess it is their right since it is their site.
