Amidst all of the Common/White House drama, Sarah Palin was right there adding fuel to the fire…saying she too doesn’t think Common should be there.
“This rapper…we thought that we were to be united under the leader of the free world, Barack Obama, in tamping down racism and inciting violence and cop killing, certainly, and killing a former president,” Sarah Palin said of Common while appearing on Fox News. “All those things that this rapper has glorified and really is known for, it just certainly reflects a lack of judgment on the White House’s part.”
The song she was referring to was Common’s track, “A Song for Assata,” ….which supports someone who was convicted of murdering a cop in the 70’s. But according to Palin, she’s not “anti-rap.” In fact, she supposedly knows all the words to a certain rap song. Which makes me SMH because I think EVERYONE knows these words. Find out what track after the jump.
“I am obviously a proponent of free speech. I’m not anti-rap. In fact, like Bret Baier, I know the lyrics to ‘Rapper’s Delight.’ But I am saying just common decency in the White House — wouldn’t we like to see a reflection of all that is wonderful and great, a shining city on a hill that the White House is supposed to be, with events inside of that house that reflect the patriotism and the decency and the influence of America.”
WHATEVER, Palin!
