Don't stray too far from the herd, or there will be consequences. If you are black, you MUST support Obama and the dems. Nothing else will be tolerated.

He's a practicing Muslim, and I think he's biting the hand that orders drone attacks that kill Muslim women and children.

This is not the first time the Grammy-nominated artist has criticized the president. Last summer, while doing press for his album "Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1," he described Obama as a child-killer, Complex magazine reported. "I'm talking about ordering a drone attack," Fiasco said. "Ordering drone attacks that go and kill mothers, innocent bystanders, children. Militants too, but the collateral damage. You're responsible for that, too."

Was he not paying attention to what the Republican Party did to Ron Paul?

For what it's worth, they reportedly asked him to just move on to the next song and he refused multiple times, so they escorted him off stage.

Lupe Fiasco was a very outspoken Obama advocate at one point.

I'm not denying that attacks on the 1st exist - it's just laughable to say that it's almost gone.

If hate speech laws come to pass, it will be completely gone. And the movement for them builds with every anti-bullying campaign.

He's obviously a fricking racist... Having said that, he should not have used that avenue to express his displeasure. Although its funny bc the organizers prob figured he was pro-obama because he is black.

Can't the protestation of the govt in the presence of the secret service now be punishable by a felony? This post was edited on 1/21 at 8:21 am

I'm getting a blank for that link, but I am familiar with the legislation you are talking about. I actually think it applies to being in the presence of 'important officials' and not just secret service, but I could be wrong.
