Gangster Rap Video on RonPaul2008.com TOTALLY Inappropriate for Presidential Campaign

[RonPaulwillWin]

All hip hop is ganster rap now? LOL at some of you people

I didn't really like that one but i'm curious to which candidate he switched. Do you know?

From what I read on his msyspace back in the day when that video came out, he went back to being apethetic... Kinda sad... That's why I "Don't smoke killa herb, smoker killa herb, smoke killa herb..." anymore

Why are you whining about it on the forums?

If "progressive" campaigning includes an obvious SLAM against those U.S. Service Personnel serving our country, then I want no part of it. U.S. soldiers are not the enemy to this campaign... we generally have great support within the military - so demeaning them like this is not acceptable.

I could not find any reference to the "little soldier" slur-usage in a couple pages of google results. It is quite possible the author/composer/performer of this rap does not have the same association with this phrase as you.

I am 34, and while I appreciate this style of music and I saved this video in my favorites, I do not think it is appropriate to link to the front page of the official campaign website. However, I think a prominent link from the front page to a page of Ron Paul music videos would be good.

The use of the diminutive in the line, "look at yourself, little soldier, it's as plain as day, our freedom circles the drain, on it's way out..." is not clearly intended to cause offense. Note I said "not clearly" instead of "clearly not." I think "little soldier" may apply to us all and he is admonishing us to reflect and gain perspective on what's happening.

This is a revolution. "Gangsters" are really the elite pulling the strings. You may not like hip hop but we're trying to raise a big tent here. Chill bro.....

 

[Prez4TheNet]

Sounds to me like the OP is one of those people who we don't want to be associated with the campaign in any way

 

[rasheedwallace]

lmao @ your stereotypes. no one can tell your white!

do i think its a great idea? no.

but calm down. unless they actually say bitches and hoes your being a pussy for this.

 

[Dieseler]

I Dieseler endorse this Rap ad for Dr. Paul's campaign.

[rasheedwallace]

unless they actually say bitches and hoes your being a pussy for this.

O my, that is a funny sentence.

 

[Pimpin Turtle Dot Com]

I think it is a good video...

 

[Pete Kay]

This thread is ridiculous. How can a Ron Paul supporter be against free speech and a diversity of ideas? This hatred of this song boils down to nothing more than blatant ignorance and a sickening bias against a complete genre of music.

Please read my two points in the original post. THAT'S what's wrong with this video.

Younger people just don't realize how offensive this type of music is to middle-aged or older Americans for the most part.

And then there's the slam against U.S. soldiers. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

.

There is nothing wrong with hip-hop as a style of music. Your objections closely mirror the stands "middle-aged or older Americans" took when Elvis first burst on the scene in the 50's. His music and his delivery was considered vulgar and representative of the inferior culture. I bet you would be OK with a song in style of Jail House Rock.

"Nothing new under the sun."
"Those who don't learn from history are bound to repeat it."

Not if there's hip shaking involved! Why, that could bring about the total breakdown of Western civilization!

 

[Prez4TheNet]

To the OP, maybe you should stick to the stormfront forums to post your nonsense

 

[1town]

Wow. Gangster Rap?

The ignorance of people never seize to amaze me...

 

[Ara825]

Okay, I'm a baby boomer and I find nothing offensive about it. In fact, when I saw it earlier today I decided to show it to my grandson. He will be 18 in a few weeks and thus old enough to vote. He loved it and wanted to see more Ron Paul videos.

 

[c0unterph0bia]

Every wonder why people think Ron Pauls supporters are racists?
