I, for one, completely agree with West.  And it's sad to see so many formerly anti-war liberals rushing to defend Obama.  Shame on all of you.

bravo!

Yeah you speak so soft
And I'm trying to understand you

Regardless of of where you stay doesn't mean you're out of mind

Blah blah blah couldn't you say the same thing about Ayn Rand having "accolades" and "truly intellectual contributions"?

*Looks up this guy some more* Oh look, he semi-defended the Iraq War and is pals with Louis Farrakhan. Not worth listening to.

Really, now? Because all I see comes from Wikipedia, and I quote:

Wouldn't you agree that that's just about the size of it? No one wanted Hussein to stay in power, but at the same time, no one but Bush and his lackeys wanted out-and-out war - which is why they sent us there and f**k the consequences.

There is no comparison between West and an apathetic narcissist like Rand, and to suggest that there is - just because he called out your political idol and god for what he is - is frankly disgusting.

OK how about I compare West to his buddy Farrakhan? Being buddy buddy with such a vile bigot is not a minor detail.

Yes I support Obama over Farrakhan. And thus I support Obama over every single person who is friendly with Farrakhan. So in conclusion: West can f**k himself.

For all his many, many flaws, Farrakhan hasn't had any civilians hit with drone strikes, and thank god isn't ever going to be in a position to do so. I think he still has more moral authority than Obama can ever hope to have.

Why doesn't Zimmerman have any more or less moral authority than the average person?
