Tea Party Protests: 'Ni**er,' 'Fa**ot' Shouted At Members Of Congress, Spat On

[DLR'sCock]

I am Jewish, and Mr. Hendrix's mother was half Cherokee.

I will take Ms. Smith's word for the heritage of her grandmother.

I would hope most would understand, that the use of said word in this song has nothing to do with race, heritage, or color of skin at all. The context and use of the word as metaphor for something much larger is something that I thought was very obvious.


BTW, hey guys, it's been a while, I see things are still going as they always have.

How deep.

How deep?

Bet it's not the first time you've asked a guy that.

[Blackflag]

See, you use these homophobic insinuations to hide your own faggitry. I'm not surprised.

I dunno, man. Both Smith and Lennon seemed to use the word as nothing more than shock value to propel whatever context they might have felt they were representing. OK, you could say that it comes from the Lenny Bruce school of lessening a word's impact by repeating it, but I've never bought that argument, particularly when the word "shit" was used 162 times by Trey Parker and Matt Stone in an episode of South Park to (supposedly) prove a similar point. If anything, you get the impression that people are not trying to illuminate a larger point, but are in fact behaving like children showing off by cursing in front of their parent's friends visiting for dinner.

I'm not denying these people are/were talented, but when you review the when, where and how this material came about, you can pretty much arrive at the same conclusion. Lennon was at his artistic nadir, living in a New York art ghetto at a time he merely reacted to events instead of inspiring them. The album he released at this time is amongst his absolute worst (Sometime In New York City), with lyrics that range from dismal to positively ghastly. Smith was attempting to make a name for herself as a bohemian artist on the fringes of the New York underground a couple of years later. Her efforts worked, as she went on to become the model of a punk priestess played by Gilda Radner on the then new Saturday Night Live. As for the "It Hits the Fan" episode of South Park, I still maintain that Stone and Parker are spoiled children attempting to get away with childish actions in an adult world. Their claims of taking the high road have always sounded false, and I defy anyone to show proof in their collected works that displays that they even know what "the high road" means.

It all boils down to this: If you can't get your point across without resorting to exploitative words, profanity or disturbing imagery, then perhaps you are not quite the statesman, spokesman or even "artiste" you might believe that you are.

What insinuations? He was just commenting on what is your normal, everyday life.

Don't hate the player; hate the game.

Still no proof of the ******-word being played.. been a week now WTF.

Yeah, but that particular news cycle has passed. The accusations did exactly what they were intended. Made people resent Tea Party groups and make racism seem to be the main reason anyone opposes Obama.
