Apr 9, 2012 - What do you mean? West is wrong about Obama being a puppet?
ProductionMarx Says:
Apr 9, 2012 - I'm not from the USA, but I'm on your side of the argument. Does that mean you don't know anything? Either way, lets not fight. RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!!
ProductionMarx Says:
Apr 9, 2012 - West saw the Obama deception coming a mile away. Before the elections he was talking about and asking where Obama's campaign money was coming from and what strings come with that money, etc. But at the same time, he didn't want to publicly bash Obama, he just wanted to ask the right questions.

Apr 10, 2012 - The Obama election was the first time I was determined to become politically aware of what was going on. After watching the corporate media for a few weeks, I was left scratching my head wondering "What the fuck." I was totally clueless.Watching these current elections are muuuuuch different. Haha.
sk8tafrnk Says:
Apr 10, 2012 - Ron Paul is economically ignorant, and he's a fucking racist.
monjiaitaly Says:
May 14, 2012 - because like most, not all, but most blacks in this country they are color blind when it comes to there own race.
monjiaitaly Says:
May 14, 2012 - no he isn't they just want you to think he is.:)
monjiaitaly Says:
May 14, 2012 - as far as economically he predicted all of this. So your very misguided my friend. But it's ok there is still time to wake up, but not much time.
sk8tafrnk Says:
May 14, 2012 - So did other economists. It doesn't take a fucking genius to predict some kind of economic down turn would result from massive deregulation and concentration of power in the US economy.What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Just because someone predicts a recession doesn't mean their asinine economic policies to fix the problem with disregard to reality.
monjiaitaly Says:
May 14, 2012 - what is asinine about Ron Paul's economic policies, they are the most sound. Unless you believe in communisim.

May 14, 2012 - Well...we have to be realistic here. Most of the crimes committed in America are by White Americans. Most of the people recieving food stamps or other forms of Govnt assistance are White Americans, We cant ignore that America, as we know it was built on the backs of African slaves, and that most American jails/prisons are full of African Americans because of their skin tone.

May 14, 2012 - "It's gunna be hard to be a war president with a peace prize."... apparently not.

May 14, 2012 - shut up fag
RPenta Says:
May 14, 2012 - No, peace is the absence of death and destruction by military or police means and force; get yourself a new dictionary and start reading the site "Anti-War.com" every day.
monjiaitaly Says:
May 14, 2012 - i dont know where you live bub but here in baltimore that is bullshit. America was built on the backs of immigrants and yes black people too. Please take your afrocentricity historic bullshit somewhere else.
thenewmike2012 Says:
May 14, 2012 - Looks like you dont want to get into any of the facts I just gave you, so thanks for the comment and have a great day. Take Care.
sk8tafrnk Says:
May 15, 2012 - Sorry you have a problem accepting demonstrable facts.

May 17, 2012 - What? Do you know ANY black people? So called "lights" and "darks" --or yellows and chocolates, as the case is today, are MURDEROUS towards one another. I have talked to grown ass dark brothers who wept telling how they were castigated by the yellows and reds in their OWN FAMILY let alone their own community. So, ever you have never been around black folks, or you are just an out-&out LIAR.
PowerBodhranArts Says:
May 17, 2012 - Are you drinking the liberal media swill? Paul is the least likely to be a racist. For more on that, visit the TMOTOFGA channel and what his videos, or search Black Supporters of RON PAUL and listen to those intelligent persons speak to the issue. Then you won't be accused of being a Baaaa Baaaa media sheeple.
sk8tafrnk Says:
May 18, 2012 - Ron Paul LEAST likely to be racist? Ahh... so that would explain the thousands of emails and private conversations Ron Paul had with the white supremacist network American Third Position.
monjiaitaly Says:
May 18, 2012 - I was specifically talking about Obama, sweetheart. I am the only white female in my office. I live with them, I work with them. I like some of them, but the majority SUCK.

Mar 21, 2012 - Mr. West, how do your words taste today, swallow and weep.
