Remember when Republicans were all bent out of shape over hip hop lyrics that "advocated" killing cops? Tupac, et al., took a lot of heat, and the condemnation went all the way to President Bush. President Bush attacked rap music that he said glorifies killing police - "sick". "I stand against those who use films, or records, or television or video games to glorify killing law enforcement officers," Bush said at a dedication of a new Drug Enforcement Administration field headquarters in Manhattan. "It is wrong for any company - I don't care how noble the name . . . to issue records that approve of killing the law enforcement officers."
Fast forward to today.
Nine right wing, white, Christian militia members have been arrested, not for lyrics that talked about cop killing in an artistic expression context, but for actually planning to kill real police officers! And where is the criticism from Republican lawmakers now? Nowhere.
But the right believes that advocating killing is okay now, especially if it is aimed at that foreign born, Muslim, terrorist, commie, negro bastard in the White House or his friends.
