George Washington was a Terrorist
By Bernie on 09 Sep 2007:
So says Mos Def. And he should know because he learned that and the fact that Bin Laden had nothin' to do with 9/11 at the barbershop where all wisdom is contained. See my previous post Mos Def is an Idiot. And contrary to the white man's propaganda that our Founding Fathers were fighting against the tyranny of King George III, it was actually the Queen, from the show's transcripts:
HBO BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT,
7 Sep 2007,
Episode #517,
REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHERMOS DEF: [overlapping] You know…you know, coercion apparatus – one is endorsed by the state and the other is not. You know, when the Revolutionary War was going on, George Washington and all them dudes was terrorists—
MAHER: Yes.
MOS DEF: [overlapping]—as far as the queen was concerned.
MAHER: Right, right.
Of course, Mos Def confuses treason with terrorism. As far as the King was concerned, George Washington and his fellow separatists were traitors, not terrorists since the Continental army never attacked civilians, as far as I know, to achieve their political ends. And since Mos Def gets his info from the local barbershop, it is unlikely he ever read the pamphlets of Thomas Paine or he would have read the arguments for separation from England were based on reason and the rights of man and not on violence against innocent women and children. Conflating Islamic terrorists with George Washington as if they operated in the same manner only shows Mos Def's ignorance of this country's history and lack of appreciation for the deadly threat posed by Islamic terrorists. Because he's from the ghetto, pronounced GET-TOE, he's more worried about the local police, pronounced POE-LEECE, than al Qaeda.
One of my readers berated me, "you taking every thing this man say seriouslly your the real dumb ass." Oops, my bad. Perhaps Mos Def was only kidding. Perhaps he didn't mean it when he repeated the Bin Laden lie again in this Youtube Video (warning - contains profanities):
If you have any problem seeing the video, use this link instead.
Doesn't sound like he was kidding to me.
Another reader of mine left this comment: "You sir are a bigot and as uninformed as it gets, Mos Def has never once rapped about misogyny nor the glorification of violence, how stupid do you sound?"
Well, I have three things in response to that:
1) as for misogyny, if Mos Def had any respect for women he certainly would never have become Muslim,
2) as for violence, If you listen to the video above, it implies we need to kill George Bush, and do away with white Christians and Masons who are out to destroy poor, black folk.
3) if you are going to defend Mos Def, try using arguments that can be defended with links and sources. Calling me a bigot when you probably mean racist does not help your argument, especially since I did not say anything against black people. But if you really meant bigot because you think I am intolerant of opinions differing from my own, then you have not read my blog because I am only intolerant of opinions that are idiotic. I can handle differing points of view. And besides, I wasn't giving you my opinion, I was stating fact. What did I say that wasn't true? Anyone who thinks the Revolutionary War was fought against a Queen is an idiot. Anyone who thinks George Washington burned and tortured innocent civilians is an idiot. Anyone who thinks we did not land on the moon is an idiot. Anyone who thinks O.J. Simpson didn't murder his wife is an idiot. Even OJ thinks he murdered his wife and was ready to write a book about it.
Give me a break.
