Let go of the caps lock and/or shift key!!!

Hellz ya I want to hear too

Saying that the president is responsible for the biggest act of terrorism in US history is the worst thing I ever heard.

If he did it, then why were all the highjackers middle eastern, and why did Osama say he did it?

Tends to be the reason for a lot of bad things getting done.

jadakiss and ludacris should do a single together that puts the screws to bill o'reilley

i'd throw my hands in the air like i just didn't care to that. or something. whatever cool thing people do nowadays

This is the absolute most wonderful response I could have asked for

thanx, sorry about the cap lock business. I was typing in my password for my skool mail password and surfing the news pages at the same time. I have to stop trying to multi-task my daily activities.

Because people don't read...

let's not forget the security briefings that bush ignored that warned of such attacks that were thought to have been able to take place then

'Jadakiss doesn't really believe Bush ordered the towers destroyed — he says the line is a metaphor, and that Bush should take the blame for the terrorist attack because his administration didn't do enough to stop it'

Nice metaphor.

"Your mom is an ugly whore."

"WHAT?!?!"

"Wait... what I meant was your mom isn't an ugly whore, but her tax dollars pay for ugly whores welfare checks..."

I think your comparison there is a bit ridiculous- it's not even degrees of the same thing. Personally, I think that the president and his administration is a joke- they didn't act on standing intelligence that was accessable for a pretty long period of time leading to the attack. I think it's ridiculous to insinuate that a metaphor placing Bushy in the center of the blame-circle isn't accurate, because by most accounts, it is.

i don't know how many of you have heard the full uncensored version, but it's really great. and not just for the bush line

You misunderstood my metaphor. The point is the first comment WASN'T A METAPHOR AT ALL. It was a fairly clear statement, then the second is a retraction.

People have the right to say one thing and secretly mean another, but they shouldn't be surprised when people judge them on you know... what they actually said.

That's a bad choice of words, he could've been more direct...I dunno.

who said that osama claimed responsibility??? we are getting all of our information from our leaders and the republican controlled media.you can definitly say you dont think that george bush had anything to do with the towers,but you cant say that you KNOW what happened..we only know what were told,its up to us to form our own conclusions

So the video tape of osama claiming responsibility...isn't real?

The worst thing you've EVER heard?? Come on, now...
Jada is exaggerating, so are you....and his beats are fresher.

I'm not suprised he's getting this much attention for saying that.....however I was surprised that Makeshift Patriot didn't raise more eyebrows....then again Sage didn't approach the topic in such an ignorant manner

Nah, that's Neil Armstrong. A lot of people think he's an astronaut, but he's actually a well-paid government conspiracy actor.

Seriously, though, Bush is a dim little jerkoff, but I don't think it's reasonable to say he wanted the Sept. 11 attacks. Bush didn't need them for an excuse to go to war (behold the unrelated Iraq war), and even he would surely not want to put terrorists who hate him in command of several airplanes. Saying something like this just distracts from all the legitimate criticisms against Bush, so for that Jada can kiss my ass.

"A lot of my people felt that he had something to do with it."

glad to know jadakiss has his best men working on this

do you really know how to translate those tapes? if you do..then your right,but i believe that i am only as informed as out government allows.you dont have to challenge authorirty,just question it.
