"Common was invited by First Lady Michelle Obama to appear at a poetry

the New Jersey State Police and their union,[16] who disagreed with
his lyrical content. The president of the New Jersey State Troopers
Fraternal Association voiced concern to the White House. They cite the
song "A Song For Assata" which lavishly praises a member of the Black
Liberation Army named Joanne Chesimard,[17] a domestic terrorist who
was convicted in 1977 of the first degree murder of a state trooper
and sentenced to life in prison."

"He is a Christian and has been a member of the Trinity United Church
of Christ in Chicago led by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright since his
childhood. Following the controversy over one of Wright's sermons,
Common criticized the American news media's coverage of the incident
as having "an agenda."[

Not quite Mr. Burton, eh? *But at least you're standing up for a

1. There are many unanswered questions about that Jersey Pike shooting.

The answered one is that Chesimard was duly convicted. And everyone
has the right to not like that Common was invited to the WH after
defending a very bad person, and to blame Obama for doing just that.


2. There are far worse churches around than those in which the

Not many and not much worse, and BHO attended this one. The one that
teaches hatred of America.

Your boy Cheney lied us into a way that...

Not even a good try at deflection... it remains that the Obama's
invited an asshole to the WH. Probably was a favor to Wright.
Besides, I thought it was Bush that lied, now it's Cheney. Of course,
we have video evidence from back in the Clinton era that the Dems in
the House and Senate were calling for us to go in to get Sadam, and
that he had WMDs, long before Bush. Bush just enabled them to pull
the trigger.

Got to go. Boating tomorrow, then headed down to see the Shuttle
launch Monday. Call your nurse for your wheelchair. :-
