Veepers Creepers!

Team Romney. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, the Republican ticket.

Former Massachusetts governor and perennial candidate for president Mitt Romney made the choice and it's a Dairy Stater by the name of Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin). The Romney team passed off Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as running mates.



Conservatives would have been thrilled that Romney picked Senator Rubio, but Congressman Ryan is acceptable to the base.

Marred with controversy, Congressman Paul Ryan has pushed his law that would put forth domestic austerity cuts.

The Republicans praised the decision with caution.

The Democrats are getting energized by the pick. They hope to tie the Ryan budget to the Romney campaign.

This week has been sort of rough for the presidential candidate. The spokesperson Andrea Saul has brought forth the infamous Romneycare and conservatives were highly upset. Some are calling for her to be terminated.

Romney made an infamous gaffe when introducing the vice presidential candidate. He called Congressman Paul Ryan, the next President of the United States, upstaging himself. Of course, he corrected himself.


You noticed the Black woman in the background?

There was a Black woman who was on the cell phone and didn't clap for the candidate and his running mate!

Is [vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan] going to be the guy that could help motivate a nearly disastrous campaign?

Imploding (Part II) : Mitt Romney Picks Paul Ryan As The Running Mate!

Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) is the Vice Presidential Candidate for Republican Mitt Romney.

I guess that takes the wind out of people's sails. The Congressman from Wisconsin, the Young Gun Paul Ryan is the Republican candidate Mitt Romney's choice for Vice President.

In what could be another "game changer", Republican candidate Mitt Romney has picked the Wisconsin congressman as his running mate.

After the victorious Governor Scott Walker and the tragic shooting of Sikh Temple, Mitt Romney goes for the "Hail Mary" pick. Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) has became a lightening rod when he put forth a budget that could send the United States back into a recession.

                      


Wow, if I didn't know better, I think like this could be a fix?

Again, we don't know how people are going to take in news. Some conservatives will cheer for this pick.

Quietly Republicans will probably whisper to their friends that they'll be voting for President Barack Obama.

About Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), he earned a major in science from Miami University in Ohio.

In the mid to late 1990s, he worked as an aide to United States Senator Bob Kasten, as legislative director for Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas, and as a speechwriter for former U.S. Representative and 1996 Republican vice presidential nominee Jack Kemp of New York. In 1998, Ryan won election to the United States House of Representatives, succeeding the two-term incumbent, fellow Republican Mark Neumann. He is now in his seventh term.

Ryan currently chairs the House Budget Committee, where he has played a prominent role in drafting and promoting the Republican Party's long-term budget proposals. As an alternative to the 2012 budget proposal of President Barack Obama, Ryan introduced a plan, The Path to Prosperity in April 2011 which included controversial changes to Medicare. He then helped introduce The Path to Prosperity: A Blueprint for American Renewal in March 2012, in response to Obama's 2013 budget. Ryan is one of the three co-founders of the Young Guns Program, an electoral recruitment and campaign effort by House Republicans.

He is married to Jenna and has three children. At age 42, Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin will be the right hand to Mitt Romney if he should become the President Of The United States.

To put aside conservative anxiety, Mitt Romney goes for a candidate who carries a portion of controversy.

But as they try to clean up the image of this vice presidential candidate, President Barack Obama and his allies are working double time to send the perennial candidate and his running mate back to their multi-million dollar homes.

Here's a dose of the vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan:

Imploding (Part I)!

                                 

Part I - The second part will be done Saturday. Romney will pick his running mate that day! We'll be looking forward to covering it.

It's not over until November 6, 2012.

But this week is getting worse for Republican candidate Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor and perennial candidate for president is suffering a major deficit in popularity.  Even the conservatives are starting to worry about how bad this campaign is going?

When you have Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter complaining about Mitt Romney, you're in trouble!

Priorities USA, the SuperPac created by President Barack Obama's former deputy press secretary Bill Burton, led the way with a hard hitting negative ad comparing Mitt Romney's Bain Capital to the death of a worker's wife.

Romney's aides shot back and misfired. Andrea Saul, the press secretary to Mitt Romney has let one slip out about the one thing that could destroy him, Romneycare! On Fox News, of all things!

Erick Erickson, talk radio host and founder of RedState went to Twitter and denounce the Romney Campaign and said this race could be over before the elections.

Rush Limbaugh went to the airwaves and denounced Andrea Saul and said this gaffe was a goldmine for President Barack Obama

Karl Rove urged Stuart Varney of Fox Business Channel not to play the Priorities USA ad.

Ann Coulter was so upset, she even slammed Sean Hannity for blindly following a weak candidate.

To take the minds of the disastrous campaign, Romney will announce who his running mate is. I'll stop here!

The second part will be done shortly.

  


Rapper Ends Decade Long Feud With Eminem!

                         

Eminem will turn 40 years old this October. One of the best rappers in the world, is a slim figured White guy who hails from Detroit, Michigan. Marshall Mathers is the founder of Shady Records, the home of gangster rapper 50 Cent, Alabama native Yelawolf and hip-hop collective Slaughterhouse.

Eminem comes from the cloth of the good Dr. Dre, the world famous producer credited to making him, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and many others very rich. Anything with Dr. Dre's blessing is classic. Eminem's influences help push rap music more mainstream so rappers like Ludacris, Nelly, Kanye West, Flo Rida, Waka Flocka Flame, Future, Lil' Wayne and Drake could succeed in an industry that creates sharks.

Hailed as one of the best, there were some who questioned his standings as the world's most recognized White rapper.

Rapper Benzino apologized to Eminem after decade long feud. Is this real? Apparently so!

Whatever you decide on calling him, he has been a mark in hip-hop. The self acclaimed Made Man, Almighty RSO, and road dog for the Hangmen 3, Raymond “Benzino” Scott has been a name that been around for awhile. The rapper and entrepreneur of the hip-hop magazine, The Source, has been no stranger to the speculation stemming from his alleged alterations with his group Made Men, to his on air beef with rappers Eminem, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre.

The rapper's motives of threatening people from exposing any dirt about his life, have came under heavy scrutiny. Benzino has been a warrior in a “state of hip-hop emergency” and is not ready to put the mic down and walk away.

We'll revisit my previous article of 2004. The climax of the feud between Eminem and Benzino.

I was a subscriber of The Source Magazine. I was greatly upset over the magazine's turmoils under the leadership of Dave Mays and Benzino. The company was blowing money fast. They've filed for bankruptcy after this feud. My magazine subscription was in limbo. Millions of readers dumped The Source and picked up the XXL Magazine. And today, the XXL Magazine reigns as the top selling rap magazine. Even in tough times, the magazine is still thriving as well as Vibe and Ozone.

My personal opinion is that hip-hop deserves a chance!

Hell, I gave rappers like Jay-Z, DMX, Ludacris, 50 Cent, Eve and Nelly props. I paid respect to the pioneers of hip-hop, from Eric B and Rakim, Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls, to even the Cold Crush Brothers, but there’s no way I can support a rapper that seems make a name for his self in a magazine that over hypes his lackluster talent.

Benzino, 49 was born in Latham, Massachusetts and resides in either New York or Miami. Formerly known as the Ray Dog of Almighty RSO (Rock Shit Out) and the lead vocals to the group Made Men, the Boston brawler, has edged his name in hip-hop as either the “savior of hip-hop” or the “worst rapper since Vanilla Ice”.
Eminem
Benzino seems to fall short of his expectations. Under the Made Men, The Source heavily promoted the rap group's ads. The magazine even considering them once as Def Jam artists.

The Source gave a unknown rapper such as Benzino a place with rap moguls Sean “Puffy” Combs,  Steve Stoute and Lyor Cohn. When Benzino's group Made Men debut album was released, The Source was giving it heavy promotion despite concerns among staff.

The reviewers and editors of the Source, gave the group a mid size rating and Benzino was highly upset.

Benzino asked the editor and long time friend, founder, Dave Mays, to give the album Classic Limited Edition, better promotion or top notch ratings.

Mays agree to Benzino’s request and changed the rating to top-notch behind the staff. With the album being changed to top-notch ratings the staff of The Source warned Mays if he changes their credibility, they walked.

Mays refused their request and told them to leave. So that’s what they did. Even with the change the Made Men didn’t do so well with their album. Heavy cameos such as Master P, The LOX and  Montell Jordan couldn't save this album.

Benzino’s group didn’t pave the way for hip-hop. So they disbanded and Benzino tries to strike it out on his own.

The debut solo album, The Benzino Project and The Benzino Remix Project were both released by Universal-Motown. The debut album managed to sell over 78,000 copies and the "Remix" album didn't chart major sales. Even providing the single “Bootee” with producer Teddy Riley, having G-Dep, Fabolous, Snoop Dogg, Scarface and among others featured on it couldn't save this album.

Benzino had disappointed Motown so much, they released the rapper from his contract.

Despite the album flops Benzino still supported the album by releasing the single “Shine Like My Son” featuring his own son, upcoming rapper Ray Ray (known as Cool Breeze Ray), and featured spots from Master P, Jadakiss and their families. Benzino lost the battle. So Benzino fumes up with Motown having their ads removed from The Source.
The legendary Dr. Dre helped proteges Eminem and 50 Cent produce their successful albums.
Benzino decides to jump on to Interscope, home to Eminem and Dr. Dre. After pushing the Black Friday Album on lukewarm results, Interscope drops the Hangman 3, Made Men, and Benzino. So thus he promoted his albums on the independent scene for awhile.

With a hook up with Queen Latifah and Shakim on Flavor Unit, Benzino got him a deal distribution with Elektra Entertainment.

With the release of his album Redemption he teams up with Bad Boy head producer Mario “Yellow Man” Winans to produce his tracks. Releasing the first single “Rock The Party” it seemed like Benzino had at least manage to catch the attention of the clubs with a fresh up start to a up and coming career. But the ever looming slum of failure has seemed to haunt Benzino.
Rapper Benzino and Dave Mays (far right). Dave Mays is a Harvard educated business executive and hip-hop journalist. He co-founded The Source Magazine with Jonathon Schecter and James Bernard.
Artists who contributed to the album were Scarface, Jadakiss, Wyclef Jean, Lil’ Kim and notably actress LisaRaye. Benzino released a single to attack at Eminem. The single “Pull Your Skirt Up” exposes Eminem as a machine that steals music from up and coming artists, infiltrating a culture that makes him wealthy (in reference to “Without Me” from The Eminem Show). To put things worst the single “Would You and Staying 4 Eva” has modestly proven that with rap there is a line that has been cross. Despite the hype of Benzino fails to score at least the amount of albums he sold from his previous albums. Last time I checked, Benzino had sold at least 15,000 albums.

In November 2002, getting a chance at exposing Eminem for what he is and what his purpose is, he attacks Shady and Aftermath Records. Benzino exposes Eminem's legal troubles and the looming signing of 50 Cent to the labels. Benzino claims that Eminem’s album sales hurt the upcoming hip-hop acts.

What drove Eminem into the battle was the threats Benzino had made to his family and claims of Eminem being a racist (calling him a Rap Hitler or David Duke). During an interview with Angie Martinez, Eminem airs out the beef with Benzino and released two devastating disses toward Benzino.

The first single The Sauce exposes the fact of artists who feud with Benzino would be shut out of the magazine. Eminem exposes The Source sharing ties with Benzino.

Hip-Hop Weekly. A gossip magazine covering hip-hop. Benzino was feuding with  Fat Joe. Benzino claims he slept with the rapper's wife.
The second single was a big blow to Benzino. It was titled the Nail In The Coffin.

The diss goes hard at Benzino, his son Ray Ray, Dave Mays, Kim Osorio, and The Source itself.

So with that Benzino, attacks back stating that this “cracka” is dying to say “nigga” and he is willing to settle this with violence. Benzino states that Eminem and Shady Records will have no place in The Source.

In the February 2003 issue featuring Ja Rule, The Source gave people a free poster showing a virtual unknown holding the head of the world’s most popular rapper.

That’s right, it’s Benzino in cartoon form showing him holding Eminem by the head and spine, warning Eminem to watch what he says or he will face a untimely demise.

The Source takes shots at Elliott Wilson, former Source editor now founder of The XXL, in reference to the XXL issue of 50 Cent, Eminem, and Dr. Dre. On top of that The Source had drawn a muscle man crushing a midget light skinned man with the XXS logo on the bottom of the jersey, with the words “Respect The Architect or Get Broken”.

In fact, the issue had a five page interview with Benzino, heavily promotion for his now defunct nightclub South Beach Club ZNO, and of course for those who bought his album, those would receive a free 6 month subscription to The Source.

Canibus, an underground rapper (Eminem’s nemesis) and the writer Harry Allen, also were featured in the magazine addressing the issues of white emceeing, The Eminem Show and what hip hop is now directing itself into.

Lastly in the Last Word, the Boston Celtics jersey and ice banded Benzino was crushing M & M milk chocolate candies, while a white candy stands in the background watching.

Dr. Dre, Aftermath, Interscope pulled their ads and promotions away from The Source. 50 Cent takes jabs at Benzino by attacking his lackluster career and selling copies less than his first album.

Unfortunate for Benzino the disrespect doesn’t stop there! The world’s leading magazine, The Rolling Stone, Vibe, Murder Dog, and XXL (the rival magazines) stated that Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent are welcome to their magazines.

Benzino was rated in the top 20 in the Maxim Blender’s notably worst entertainers in the world, a group from Petition Online asked for a boycott for The Source to have Benzino be removed from The Source. The marketing strategy for The Source is out! Benzino is part of The Source. In order to keep his name from being tarnished the magazine denied the allegations stemming from his shady dealings while being at The Source. Although current issues had less Benzino, he is eventually showing up somewhere; whether in the Fat Tape (high rotation singles), Coast 2 Coast, and ads for clothing and jewelry.
                     
After the release of 50 Cent's album, Eminem has stated that the beef was done. Eminem declared that Benzino is too wack to respond too. Benzino swears he will not back down to Eminem and continues to keep taking shots at him. Even through the Source magazine, naming 50 Cent on of the top 115 artists of hip-hop, stating that his album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ will outsell The Eminem Show. Even taking blows at Eminem by drawing him as Elvis and Tarzan. The Source also featured a comic called Past Imperfect, taking shots not only at Eminem, but rappers (whom are white) Bubba Sparxxx and Haystak. Benzino had a hand in creating the comic and editorials addressing white MCs.
                                 
The Source carried its high profile feud with 50 Cent by releasing an attack article. The article exposes the life and the hype of 50 Cent, his bosses Eminem and Dr. Dre, and the label head, Jimmy Iovine. The issue also takes a jab at rapper, Nas (post XXL issue where he was setting ablaze to The Source and XXL magazines). In the first pages of the Source, Benzino and Mays retaliate towards the XXL and Vibe Magazine attacks from 50 Cent, Eminem, Nas and Dr. Dre by setting ablaze the competitors and stating that their friendship and business relations will remain the same.

The magazine released portions of a freestyle Eminem done when he was young. In this song, he disses a Black woman whom he used to date. The rapper demanded the magazine to cease publishing of his song.

Benzino refused and aired out the entire song in full. Eminem's publishing company sued The Source and won a hefty amount.

In 2005, Benzino and Dave Mays were let go after Black Enterprises took over the struggling magazine.

Benzino and Mays both went on to create another hip-hop magazine called Hip-Hop Weekly. The Weekly is a gossip rag that covers issues such as the hip-hop feuds and controversy in politics. Benzino and Mays continue to make themselves relevant in these tough times.
_______________________

Benzino realized that he's getting older and the music people are listening to isn't his! He promotes himself as the gangsta rapper who hailed from the "mean streets" of Boston. The American hip-hop listener likes catchy beats and easy to remember hooks. Nothing about the complex struggle in the streets. No tales of hustling to eat and running from the police.

What Benzino failed to do in his feud with Eminem is actually know who he's dealing with.

At the time of this feud, Benzino and his partner Dave Mays were in charge of the hip-hop magazine, The Source. In January 2003, the rapper released multiple disses going after Eminem, his group D12 and 50 Cent. Benzino teamed up with 50 Cent's rival Ja Rule to go after Eminem.

Eminem went to the microphone and literally destroyed Benzino's career and credibility as a fair journalist.

It took over 10 years. Benzino finally admits that he lost the rap feud and Eminem deserves respect. He apologizes to Eminem during an interview with Sway Calloway of MTV and Shade45.

Eminem appears on Aftermath Entertainment. He is affiliated with Shady Records.
Dr. Dre appears on Aftermath Entertainment.
50 Cent appears on Shady/Aftermath/Interscope. He is affiliated with G-Unit Records.
Benzino is an independent recording artist.
Ja Rule appears on Fontana Records.

Fox Nation: That Lazy N****r Van Jones Is A Racist Communist!

                           

Arianna Huffington is co-chair of AOL News and Entertainment. Her world famous blog The Huffington Post beats out conservative blogger Matt Drudge's The Drudge Report in a 4:1 margin. But that hasn't stopped the founder Matt Drudge and his affiliate website The Fox Nation. These news agitation websites attract conservatives, and likely white supremacists. These folks can't stand the first Black president and the guy they claim is a "devout Communist racist!" The Fox Nation comes forth with a picture that Arianna Huffington took with her iPhone. The picture of Van Jones, former Obama adviser sleeping in a pod at the AOL Huffington Post office.

Van Jones the co-founder of The Color Of Change is pushing forth a national boycott against Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. His organization allied with rapper Nas to deliver a petition to Roger Alies, the CEO of the company. Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity are notorious conservative agitators. They've pushed the bar lower when it comes to driving wedge issues between the president and the American voters. The liberal activist has been in the crosshairs of the conservative media. They were upset that Jones called the Republicans a bunch of "assholes" for the constant gridlock and desires to defeat President Barack Obama.

Civil Rights activist Van Jones.
Jones is a co-founder of three non-profit organizations. In 1996, he founded the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, a California non-governmental organization (NGO) working for alternatives to violence. In 2005, he co-founded Color of Change, an advocacy group for African Americans. In 2007, he founded Green For All, a national NGO dedicated to "building an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty." His first book, The Green Collar Economy, was released on October 7, 2008, and reached number 12 on the New York Times Best Seller list. In 2008, Time magazine named Jones one of its "Heroes of the Environment". Fast Company called him one of the "12 Most Creative Minds of 2008".

In March 2009 Jones was appointed by President Barack Obama to the newly created position of Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, where he worked with various "agencies and departments to advance the administration's climate and energy initiatives, with a special focus on improving vulnerable communities." 

In July 2009 he became "embroiled in a controversy" over his past political activities, including a public comment disparaging congressional Republicans, his name appearing on a petition for 911Truth.org, and allegations of association with a Marxist group during the 1990s. For these issues, Van Jones was heavily criticized by conservatives. Jones resigned from the position in early September 2009."On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

Jones is currently a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and a senior policy advisor at Green For All. Jones also holds a joint appointment at Princeton University, as a distinguished visiting fellow in both the Center for African American Studies and in the Program in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

A great man with achievements and all these conservatives could say is located below:

This is what you've expect from those in the conservative movement. A bunch of reactionary bigots who think they know what it's like to be a "patriot"! Everyone who doesn't support their views are the enemy.

We really should be upset over how they type comments. They have the worst spelling and grammar mistakes by far. Yet, they know everything and if you tell them facts, they'll think it's a bunch of liberal lies.



Plain Jane!

Media buzz around Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio). The media has concluded that he is likely the choice of presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Could things change if Portman isn't the running mate?
Who will be the most boring presidential candidate's running mate?

Former Massachusetts governor and perennial candidate for president Mitt Romney is going to be the Republican nominee. But the media is wondering, who will Romney pick as his right hand man?

Talk about Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, and CIA chief David Patereus are flying around.

Portman, a junior senator from Ohio has the most media buzz since the notion of Condoleezza Rice, former Secretary of State under President George W. Bush. People are wondering what could shake up the Romney campaign.

For one, Romney can't have a "Mama Grizzly" or "Murphy Brown" type of running mate.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) is a rising star in the Tea Party Movement. He is an Hispanic lawmaker born to Cuban parents. He won under a three way race against ex-Republican governor Charlie Crist and Democrat Kendrick Meek. He won handily against them. The talk of his being vice president is a dream among Tea Party activists. They want Mitt Romney to stop being nice to President Obama and get a candidate who will "shake things up!"
                   
Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) was forever tarnished when he picked Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, a political novice. Former President George H.W. Bush led with high job approvals until the Los Angeles riots, Hurricane Andrew, and Vice President Dan Quayle's Murphy Brown statements. That led a hippy by the name of William Jefferson Clinton to take the helm of the President Of The United States.

Many conservatives are skeptical about his choice. They don't want a running mate that could be a target of the president's aggressive campaign. They're also worried that Romney missteps and gaffes are going to make it harder for him to win. The candidate outraised President Barack Obama by $34 million in July.

The president is blowing money fast. But his effective strategy to paint Romney as an out of touch millionaire are working. Some swing states have the race dead even. President Barack Obama carried six states that are currently in play.

What makes this a boring race is the enthusiasm gap! Democrats are not as enthusiastic as Republicans.

Republicans aren't thrilled with Mitt Romney! But they're willing to deal with him over President Barack Obama.
Senator John Thune (R-South Dakota) is buzzing. Could he be the pick?
Conservatives are riled up over Andrea Saul and her recent comments about Priorities USA's negative campaign ad claiming that Romney's company Bain Capital fired workers. One of the employees stated his wife died because the company stripped the healthcare after they shut the business down.

Saul made the case in defense of Romneycare, known as the Commonwealth Health Care Reform Act.

Yeah they need to keep the buzz around the vice presidential pick!

Now before we have a jump to conclusion moment, I want to say one thing about this choice. The inner circle knows before the media. They hire a company to distribute products featuring Mitt Romney and his running mate under tight lipped workers who already know, but are told not to leak to the press. There are people in the media (Wolf Blitzer, Sean Hannity and Carl Cameron) already aware of the pick and they're not saying anything until the Romney announcement. So to keep the Obama campaign on its toes, they'll find ways to make sure that this pick is clean by most standards.

Here's a rundown of the odds

Senator Rob Portman (Ohio Senator and former Bush adviser) STRONG LIKELY

Senator Marco Rubio (Florida Senator and Tea Party activist) STRONG SLIGHTLY

Senator John Thune (South Dakota Senator) STRONG LIKELY

Governor Bobby Jindal (Louisiana Governor, former Congressman) NOT LIKELY

Former Governor Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota, former presidential candidate) NOT LIKELY

Former Senator Rick Santorum (Pennsylvania, talk radio host, former presidential candidate) NOT LIKELY

Governor Chris Christie (New Jersey Governor) NOT LIKELY

None Of These Above STRONG LIKELY

Womanist Musings: For Machine Gun Kelly, Apparently Black Girls Give the Best Head

Womanist Musings: For Machine Gun Kelly, Apparently Black Girls Give the Best Head

This should rank right up with John Mayer's rant against Black women. 

Mitt Romney Swallowed The Dog Whistle!

                                  

Don't act like the Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement aren't playing the "race card"!

They're playing every card from the bottom of the deck and this time they're playing even more dirtier than normal.

With the first Black (ahem, biracial) president, isn't obvious that the Republicans are trying to win the White vote. After all Mitt Romney overwhelmingly has the White vote locked up. He leads 56% - 42% in White registered voters.

Nearly everything Mitt Romney's done is appeal to the "real Americans" who are suffering under an European style "socialist" utopia that President Barack Obama is rendering! None of that is true!


They're riled up over an Obama surrogate who spoke on a local radio station saying that Romney is intentionally dog whistling White voters with political rhetoric that comes off as racist!

The Romney campaign hits President Barack Obama over the issue of early voting in Ohio. Republican state legislators and Ohio governor John Kasich passed a law that requires early voting to end three days earlier before an election except for military.

The Obama campaign believes that this law is designed to keep minority voters and veterans from the ballot boxes. The president believes that all Ohioans deserve early voting rights. Mitt Romney thinks that the president wants to deny voting rights to military. They've been squandering over this issue for a while now. The tax returns are hurting Romney, so some of his supporters are going to demand the president show his birth certificate and college transcripts.

Okay, let's look at the newest ad rolling out in the swing states. In the ad by Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee, they're using Romney's former foe and Obama's biggest ally in a claim that advocates political dog whistle. The key word: WELFARE.




Louise Lucas, Virginia State Senator condemns Romney's campaign
Now onto the matter at hand, this little controversy. According to White House Dossier, a conservative blog covering issues in Washington, Virginia State Democratic Rep. Louise Lucas, an official Obama surrogate who is a member of his Virginia “Truth Team,” says Mitt Romney is seeking the support white voters who oppose President Obama because he is black.

What I am saying to you is Mitt Romney, he’s speaking to a segment of the population, who does not like to see people other than a White man in a White House or any other elected position.
Let’s be real clear about it… let’s be real clear Mitt Romney is speaking to a group of people out there who don’t like folks like Barack Obama in any elected or leadership position. We know what’s going on here and some people may be afraid to say it but I am not. I am not afraid to say it. 
He’s speaking to that fringe out there who do not want to see anybody other than a white person in a leadership position. Senator Miller said it before she died and I agreed with her. They don’t want President Barack Obama in office as President and for all the reasons that you and I and alot of other people understand.
Okay, we have a Obama surrogate (delegate) talking about Mitt Romney pandering to the conservative White male. For example, if you're a White conservative male, you're likely to hold bigoted views towards someone's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings.

A person who resents President Barack Obama over issues such as his race, policies and political affiliation.

A person who reacts to issues such as 9/11 and harbors resentment towards American Muslims who condemn this attack as well.

A person who reacts to issues of gay marriage negatively, even though they may have a family member, co-worker, friend, or even themselves are gay.

A person who feels like the illegal aliens are coming over into the United States in droves taking hard working patriots jobs and send tax free dollars back to Mexico or China.

A person who reacts to a Black person committing a crime upon a White person over an isolated dispute.

A person who thinks the United States should lead the way in how things are done whether right or wrong.

These examples represents Mitt Romney's base! Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum tried this stuff during the Republican debates and primaries. They ended up losing! But to be clear, they deserve some of the credit for losing. Most Americans never took them seriously to begin with.

But the matter of why Republicans are dog whistling the election. They know that White males are more pessimistic about the economy than any other race, gender or nationality. They know that if they can talk about issues like welfare or the president's allies complaining about unfairness based on race, they can make five more angry White male voters support Mitt Romney.

Things have gotten better! Not the way of the economic forecasters, but much better than five years ago.

But Republicans would rather see the economy fail so they can get back into power. It was said by Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky, Minority Leader), our goal is to see President Barack Obama serve one term.

That's proof positive that Republicans are cheering for failure and screaming at success. And the dog whistle is blowing like the wind.

Soon Snoop Dogg will be admitted to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame legends in the coming years. In the meantime, the 40-year old rapper is planning on revamping his gangsta image. He's going Rastafarian.

Calvin Broadus, aka Snoop Dogg has remodeled himself as Snoop Lion, a reggae star. The legendary rapper is now looking forward to release a reggae album under this new moniker.

The rapper has been in the news lately for his charity work as well as his criminal history. He was recently busted in Texas for having an ounce of the good. And also banned from Norway for the next two years.

These controversies hasn't stopped the legend from making the news.

The rapper has advocated for legalizing marijuana consumption.

The rapper has taken rounds with country music, rock music and jazz. Reggae is the newest venue.

Snoop Dogg emerged on the scene after appearing on Dr. Dre's debut album The Chronic, a masterpiece of gangsta funk and raw hip-hop. In 1994, Snoop Dogg released Doggystyle, his first album under the hardcore rap label Death Row. Snoop Dogg is a former Crip gang member.

Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Tha Dogg Pound, Lady of Rage, and later Tupac Shakur made Death Row Records and its founder Suge Knight very successful.

Alas, Dr. Dre leaving the production table and label, the death of Tupac Shakur, internal conflict within the label and its ties to the infamous Bloods street gang has ruined Death Row. Suge Knight lost his label in 2010.

Snoop Dogg worked with No Limit Records founder and actor Percy Miller (known then as Master P).

Snoop Dogg left the label and established his own label called Doggystyle Records.

Snoop Dogg collaborated with rappers Warren G and the late Nate Dogg to form the group 2-1-3.

Snoop Dogg reunited with Dr. Dre and Ice Cube to reform N.W.A. and Westside Connection with rapper WC and Mack 10.

Snoop Dogg also aligned himself with hip-hop producers The Neptunes to release two albums under their Star Trak label.

Snoop Dogg has collaborated many artists. Some notable ones include: Katy Perry, 50 Cent, Eminem, Wiz Khalifa, Nelly, Ludacris, Jay-Z, The Game, Lil' Wayne, Xzibit, Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Kid Rock, R. Kelly, and Willie Nelson.


According to Fox News, the artist said at a news conference Monday in New York that he was "born again" during a visit to Jamaica in February and is ready to make music that his "kids and grandparents can listen to."

The former gangster rapper is releasing a reggae album called "Reincarnated" in the fall. He said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley's spirit and is now "Bob Marley reincarnated."

Bob Marley's son Rohan attended the conference and gave Snoop his blessing.

"I feel like I've always been Rastafarian," Snoop said of the spiritual Jamaican movement. While there, he said, he visited a temple, was renamed Snoop Lion and was also given the Ethiopian name Berhane, meaning "light of the world."

Snoop didn't explain why he was switching from "Dogg" to "Lion," but it's likely a reference to the Lion of Judah, a religious symbol popular in Rastafarian and Ethiopian culture.

Later, he played five songs for a small crowd, including one called "No Guns Allowed." It features his daughter and includes the lyrics, "No guns allowed in here tonight, we're going to have a free for all, no fights."

"It's so tragic that people are doing stupid things with guns," he said.

Snoop, best known for hits like "Gin and Juice" and "Drop It Like It's Hot," is an avid supporter of marijuana rights and has been banned from entering Norway for two years after trying to enter the country with a small amount last month.

He said that in Jamaica, where he stayed for 35 days, he grew closer to his wife, who saw his transition. He added that he's excited to perform music that his family and children can listen to.

"As a 40-year-old man ... I've got to give them something," he said. "That's what you do when you're wise."

Snoop Dogg said he's not completely retiring from hip-hop but is "tired" of the genre because it is no longer challenging.

"Reggae was calling ... it's a breath of fresh air," he said. "Rap isn't challenging; it's not appealing."

The album was produced by Diplo and will feature Snoop singing. It will be released on Vice Records.

The album will be followed with a documentary of the same name, also produced by Vice. It features Snoop making music and will include some personal elements of his life, a producer of the film said. It will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

A coffee table book about Snoop's rebirth is also in the works.

"It feels like I'm 19 or 20 years old again," he said.

Snoop Dogg (known also as Snoop Lion) appears on Doggystyle Records/Priority Records.



Those Who Hate!

Wade Page the Sikh Temple shooter has ties to Neo-Nazi rock bands and chanted off White supremacist rhetoric!

The recent shooting at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin have brought forth the issue of right wing extremism.

Wade Page is the shooter and his views of society are the reasons for this tragedy to happen.

According to Talking Points Memo, Wade Page was nothing if not a relentless promoter of hate and the style of music he loved.

He found a nexus of both in the world of white power rock, where racist skinheads play their own brand of crunchy, loud punk and metal infused with lyrics trashing Jews, blacks, immigrants and anything else bothering them at the moment.


It didn’t take long to uncover a trail of Page’s postings on various white supremacist message boards, where he constantly promoted the white power bands he played in and knew.


Three's the hard way! Wade Page is on the right!
“Definite Hate is looking for a new drummer,” said one posting written under an alias he frequently used, End Apathy, on a message board for the racist skinhead faction known as the Hammerskins. “Must be a skinhead, committed to White Power and the movement, and have the skills to pay the bills.”

While music was usually his main focus, the postings made clear Page was also deeply involved with the Hammerskins organization. While he was living in North Carolina last year, he posted multiple messages encouraging people to come to “meet and greet” gatherings for the group near the city of Rocky Mount.

“All White nationalists are welcome!” said a message posted by End Apathy that appeared on March 22, 2011. “If you are wanting to meet people, get involved and become active then you really need to attend. Stop hiding behind the computer or making excuses.”

The person using the alias occasionally posted similar messages on the well known white supremacist site Stormfront.org, but he appeared to favorite the Hammerskin message boards at crew38.com. The latter website showed he posted 250 times since joining in March 2010.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremism in the U.S., documented Page’s ties to the white supremacist music scene on its own website early Monday. Senior fellow Mark Potok wrote that Page was the leader of a band that shared the name of his message board alias, End Apathy. In interviews later in the day, researchers with the SPLC said they had tracked Page for at least a decade.

Page presented a dangerous theme.

White supremacists are motivated by the hate music, the internet, and the first Black president. The Republicans riling up White voters with controversies such as Operation Fast & Furious, the president's birth certificate, undocumented workers, and a struggling economy. These things are going through mind of the White conservative male. This regurgitation of misinformation has driven White supremacists to the internet to promote views that you'll find when you read the comment section.

Once again, Fox News, The Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Bill Cunningham, Michelle Malkin, World Net Daily, and Sarah Palin are riling up extremism.

They can't help themselves. They rather deflect the harsh rhetoric solely on those who criticize them!
