"In 2000, Mos Def performed a benefit concert for death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal.[41] In September 2005, Mos Def released the single "Katrina Clap", renamed "Dollar Day" for True Magic, (utilizing the instrumental for New Orleans rappers UTP's "Nolia Clap"). The song is a criticism of the Bush administration's response to Hurricane Katrina. On the night of the MTV Video Music Awards, Mos Def pulled up in front of Radio City Music Hall on a flatbed truck and began performing the "Katrina Clap" single in front of a crowd that quickly gathered around him. He was subsequently arrested despite having a public performance permit in his possession.[42] On September 7, 2007, Mos Def appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher where he spoke about racism against African Americans, citing the government response to Hurricane Katrina, the Jena Six and the murder conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal. He appeared on Real Time again on March 27, 2009, and spoke about the risk of nuclear weapons.[43] Mos Def said that he did not listen to any of Osama Bin Laden's messages because he did not trust the translations.[44] In July 2013, Mos Def appeared in a short film, released by the human rights organization Reprieve, depicting the forced feeding methods used at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps. This occurred after a document containing the military instructions for the procedure was leaked.[45][46"

I saw this link on Drudge...

How to insert your NG tube! (Nasogastric feeding tube)

There must be a problem. I sat through the whole video stone faced, unemotional, even when they had the part with him fake crying. Maybe it was the thought of the Gitmo detainees killing all those innocent people that made me hold back the tears?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

He’s acting because he trying to draw sympathy for terrorists. He’s a slime this guy, he holds benefit concerts for cop killers, bashes the US..You know, the usual US hater who takes advantage of making money...in the US.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I agree with the rapper. Stop force feeding them and let them die. Then pack them in salt fatback and bury them at sea.

[Irenic]

That’s just beautiful, it brought a tear to my eye....

[ApeStyle]

Couldn’t possibly care less. If I was in charge we would just hang the goat-effers.

[FortWorthPatriot]

Well, cry me a river, Mos. Overact much? I imagine that, had he simply relaxed, the tube would have gone down without a hitch.

[Drill Thrawl]

I agree. This force feeding business is horrible. We should just let them starve.

[EthnicAmerican]

So what should we do? Let them starve themselves to death and become martyrs? Then the UN and Amnesty International et al. would say, “Look, you fascists are killing these poor souls!”

What you watched was absolute BS. I have been fed this way due to a medical condition and it is painless. This was simply an act.

I was replying to this:
“I agree with the rapper. Stop force feeding them and let them die. Then pack them in salt fatback and bury them at sea.”

And my reply was:
“That’s just beautiful, it brought a tear to my eye....”

You don’t find this moving? “Then pack them in salt fatback and bury them at sea.”

Yeah, the nine year old girl in post #2 (I think that’s how old she is)wasn’t a baby like the rapper. Although reading through the girls comments, I don’t think she wants the comments about the terrorists on her site. She is trying to help other kids cope with their illness and doesn’t want the scary terrorist comments. She seems like a wonderful girl.

That video is BS The only uncomfortable moment is when the tube passes your gag reflex. That is done quickly, maybe a small gag occures....Then its painless and not at all uncomfortable...You test to make sure tube went into stomach and not lungs. As far as taking out an NG tube, you just tell the patient to lay still and in about 1 second the tube is out without pain or being uncomfortable. Have done many when working in the hospital...

[Irenic]

Yeah, this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJIFOCbPTjo
is of a young girl showing how to do it. She is trying to help other children/people with their fear and show them helpful tips. She makes that rapper look like a phony wuss. She’s and impressive child.
