NJ POLICE OUTRAGED Over Obama White House Invite to Cop-Killer Promoting Rapper
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, May 11, 2011, 5:11 AM
The New Jersey Police Association are outraged that the Obama administration has invited rapper Common, a member of Barack Obama’s former ‘church’, to the White House.
Common wrote this lovely ballad “A song for Assata” in dedication to Black Panther Assata Shakur, formerly known as Joanne Chesimard, who was convicted for the 1973 slaying of Trooper Werner Foerster on the New Jersey Turnpike.
NBC New York reported:
The invitation of rapper Common to a White House this week is drawing the ire of the union representing New Jersey state police.
While not even casual hip-hop fans would characterize him as a controversial rapper, Common found himself under the microscope after First Lady Michelle Obama invited him to the White House for an arts event.
FOX News and Sarah Palin criticized the decision after the Daily Caller published some of Common’s lyrics, including some that criticize President George W. Bush.
For Jersey police, the outrage centers on a song by Common about Assata Shakur, formerly known as Joanne Chesimard, who was convicted for the 1973 slaying of Trooper Werner Foerster on the New Jersey Turnpike. Garden State police take offense at “A Song for Assata,” which includes the lines “Your power and pride is beautiful. May God bless your soul.”
For David Jones, president of the State Troopers Fraternal Association union, the White House invitation to a rapper who seems to celebrate Shakur is disturbing.
“The young people who read this stuff, hear this stuff, are getting a very dangerous and deadly message,” Jones said.

Maybe, just maybe they’ll remember this when they vote in 2012. THE WON loves to rub our collective noses in s**t.

It’s going to be hard to get the stench out of the WH after these two subprime grifters leave.

“Your power and pride is beautiful”??????? Wow. He can’ts even cojugates the verb to “are”

never thought id live to see the day a presidents wife would honor a cop killer i know hollyweired elites do but the first so called lady what have we got in that wh
Alana commented:
Some that “criticize” President Bush? What a joke.
Bitter Clinger commented:
Kato is correct. We’ll need total fumigation and an exocism to rid OUR White House of these two subprime grifters defiling it. When the Clintons left taking everything that wasn’t nailed down with them, only the carpets needed to be steam cleaned. 1-20-13 can’t come soon enough. Then, our long national nightmare will be over and the cleanup crews will begin in earnest. Right now, all we have is a restraining order in the US House of Representing.

Is it sexist to blame her actions on bush?

In other words, even casual hip-hop fans are barbarian scum. (No surprise.)
BurmaShave commented:
I wonder how much of a “bump” Obama will get for this act of courage.
BurmaShave commented:
calling for Bush’s immolation?
Let’s hear some more taqqiya talk from Obama about civility.
Just remember Obama: what goes around comes around.
Granny Smith commented:
Not actually surprised by this. Look up the dude’s real name. . . . .
save us commented:
o mus t feel very confident to let his true feelings be know
but then again how will the msm report this?
probably o honors free speech
Bitter Clinger commented:
I hope you all join me in sending a message via Whitehouse.gov making those thugs aware of our revulsion. (as if they care……) Still, it’s important that they know that we know.
tommy mc donnell commented:
you mean the police union “brothers in solidarity” are upset with the myth. dosen’t the new jersey police association know that this is one of the favorite poets of michael moore, andy stern, pete trumka, van jones, valerie jarrett, et.al. hey police union leaders feeling like maybe you got used in wisconsin?
jomojava the infidel commented:
NJ police better be careful. They are being critical of Eric Holder’s “people”.
Slveryder commented:
I’m fascinated by the spin of “while not even casual hip-hop fans would find him controversial” as if that makes any difference. He called for a sitting president’s murder, is against interracial relationships, and openly supports a cop-killer. If this is uncontroversial to hip-hop fans, I’d hate to see what is!
And “under a microscope”? You could see these problems with a wide-angle lens!
lol commented:
the brotherhood of police/firefighters who pay their union dues have to wake up. The lack of respect toward the law, and the officers who risk their lives every day to enforce it, is shameful!
Joanne commented:
Michelle Obama has invited this guy because she doesn’t disapprove of him, which means she approves of him. It is really very simple.
CoolCzech commented:
Is anyone actually, like, surprised by this?
I mean, this IS the President that decorated the White House Christmas Tree with images of Mao, after all.
Maybe they’ll set this creep’s cop-killing lyrics to music and play them as Christmas carols, this year…
Mikey commented:
Sadly folks, this is our POTUS. President of some, but not all. America is in decline daily thanks to Zero and the Demonrats. It will only change if we vote him out of office. Watch the Republicans blow one of their biggest opportunities in decades by nominating Romney, Jeb Bush, Daniels or some other RINO. We need a candidate like Herman Cain. He is the ANTI-OBAMA. I am beginning to have an ache in my neck from shaking my head at the stupidity of Obama. Yet he gets by with it because of the MSM. Pitiful – we now live in tyranny from the left.

Ha, this is like saying that not even moderate ‘rats would characterize Barack Obama as a Marxist.
MamaGrizzly commented:
Modern, accomplished, middle- and upper-class Germans ignored Hitler, even though he told everyone who he was ahead of time.
Obama keeps telling everyone who he is, and most stick with the common availability heuristic of “POTUS.” Yet, it’s all out there. Connect the dots.
west1890 commented:
While they draw our attention to this poke at us with their Marxist stick, what are they doing with the other hand? While we’re looking this direction, what are they flying below the radar in the other direction? They’re masterminds of distraction.
Noah commented:
Ubama is working on some serious Karma, he and Moooooshele are in for a world of hurt when all this crap comes back at them 10 fold and it will; You can’t put that much hate a disrespect out without it coming back and biting you in the A$$. I would say 2012 will be the start of the Karamic revenge and continue until everyone who served under ubama and mooshele are in jail awaiting execution.

What’s wrong with the head wookie wanting another garbage mouthed Rev Wright clown to entertain them?
Frank Rizzo commented:
Just another example of the current occupant con man flipping his middle finger at America while pretended to scratch his cheek.

What is so shocking? This is par for the course. Nothing these people do should shock anyone anymore. These people are radical communists. I just have to wonder, what secrets of the US have they given and to whom. If we had separate but equal branches of government who were doing their jobs instead of trying to appease a particular race in this country, he would have already been removed from office. Actually he wouldn’t have even got into office because they would have investigated his past.
The damage is so severe to this country because of the failures of the other branches of government and the demonic leftists with cameras shoved in their ugly faces. THAT INCLUDES FIX NEWS ALSO. WE MUST APPEASE THE RACE EXTORTIONISTS OF THE COUNTRY LIKE SHARPTON AND JERKSON AND ALSO APPEASE FRONT GROUPS FOR TERROR LIKE CAIR. HOW MANY TIMES HAS TED BAXTER HAD THIS LOVELY GROUP ON AT 8:00PM?
THEY ALL MAKE ME SICK with the damage their silence has done.
aprilnovember811 commented:
MamaGrizzly,
You are so, so right. That short sentence of yours speaks volumes. The charade continues, “president Obama today, president Obama is traveling, president Obama is having another party on Wednesday?” It is just so pathetic, how stupid these useful idiots in the media are. The amazing part is, they’ll tell you they are the smartest people on the face of the earth. They don’t give a damn what they are doing to the country their children have to live in. I want to spit on them!!
I’m so angry I pray a suicide bomber plants himself on the corner of the media headquaters in NYC and turns it into another OK City. By the way that was also an act of Jihad. The Clinton regime lied and covered that up. It was done by former Iraqi soldiers let into this country by the first President Bush with the aide of Timothy McVeigh. He was not a right winger like they said he was an agnostic leftist. Read The Third Terrorist by Jayna Davis.
Washington has collected the most vile, disgusting, filthy degenerates in this country.

MamaGrizzly,
It’s not hard to figure out who Obama is.
greenfairie commented:
There are different kinds of hip hop and Common is of the variety NYU undergrads and Pacifica radio listeners love, which is why you’ve never heard of him until now. He’s simply a politer, coffee house kind of black nationalist.
What else would you expect from the same First Lady who had Chairman Mao “holiday” tree ornaments?
tommy mc donnell commented:
come 2012 every police and fire union in america will endorse obama for reelection.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:

Go ahead, vote for him again next year, suckers.
Capn Angus commented:
So when they confiscate that dues money to contribute to Obama’s re-election ya think the rank & file will do anything to stop it?
Maybe the family of the slain trooper should become the face of Obama’s opposition in New Jersey.
Em commented:
“Pops” would be so proud. Black power fist bump.
T-Steel commented:
I really don’t give a crap who Presidents “hang out” with from the music scene. Because in the end, Obama isn’t going to win/lose over Common’s poetry and music lyrics. If it was that easy, I have some criminal cousins with mad poetry skills who are for hire to sabotage Obama’s re-election. =)

The President of the United States should not honor people who praise cop-killing. As a nation, we have sown godlessness. We are reaping what we have sown. Romans 1.
