As Taylor continued, Kanye interrupted, saying he thought Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video was wrongly overlooked. "Hey Taylor, I'm really happy for you, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time."

There is definitely enough material around to do a special on how Obama brought street thug behavior to the White House. But it'd probably just be an internet undertaking for good deal of time.
Venus Williams has class. Serena has none.
Kanye has been an idiot since before Obama was in office. This is a new example of it.
Athletes have made violent threats and acted violently since before Obama was in office. Serena is another example of this.
I’m sorry, trying to pin this on Obama is silly.
Joe Wilson told the truth. Mr. Ohaha is a liar and is selling a free lunch. Only trouble is he has to take my money to give it away to his voters.
PS, there are no rules in the senate, they ignore the constitution and it is about time someone told them they are liars. There are rules in tennis.
Don’t forget, also, Michael Jordan using his hall of fame acceptance speech to bash former rivals Bryon Russell and Isaiah Thomas. Although it wasn’t an “outburst,” Jordan airing his old grievances was entirely uncalled for in an otherwise wonderful event. I think it really showed an ugly, ugly arrogance.
Is it? Have you been listening to Obama's rhetoric? But whatever, it does not even approach the 'silliness' of past attempts to blame Oklahoma City on conservative talk radio, and many similar smears of conservatives. And what do you think about the several statements that these tea party protests and other protests could encourage assassins?
As is often said, Obama is 'contributing to an atmosphere' with his personal rhetoric.
“Seems since Obama got elected, Behaving like a THUG is in.”
God said it would be like this, and here’s why:
“The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.” - Psalm 12:8
Seen a vile man exalted in the last few months? Hm?
I agree 100%. If Serena were a baseball manager, her outburst would be considered fairly routine.
Well, orders is orders.
“...I want you to go out and get in your neighbors’ faces...” -barack obama
With NObama in the Oval office, we are targets for all kinds of ‘reparations’.
There needs to be a complete boycott of products of these thugs.
I don’t believe that all of what they produce is bought by black kids. The white kids need to pay more attention to what they are purchasing and giving a voice to.
Well, what about football and basketball coaches, who constantly complain to officials? But what all you apologists blithely dismiss is that Serena crossed the line and made personal threats.
All these managers and coaches are not making personal threats when they complain about officiating.
Don’t forget, also, Michael Jordan using his hall of fame acceptance speech to bash former rivals Bryon Russell and Isaiah Thomas.

Boy, oh boy..the local news didn’t show a single bit of what you are describing here.
I am disappointed in MJ, as he was always alot more classy than that, and much more classy than the bulk of today’s NBA ilk.
But what all you apologists blithely dismiss is that Serena crossed the line and made personal threats.

Serena definately made threats to the safety of the official. She made one trip over to the official, made a second, and then made a third.
A baseball manager would be thrown out of the game.
I would like to see a hefty fine—$10,000 is tip money for the Williams sisters—and I would like to see her benned for a year.
Someone has to get the message. Soccer had the red cards-
there are many other types of disqualification. Even in Endurance horse riding, riders have been given as much as a 5 year ‘time out’ from a major event for misbehavior.
Well it all evens out eventually. What goes around comes around:
Kanye West Interrupts Obama Speech

I’m glad that you suggested that we remember Joe Wilson—this is a man who had the courage to stand up and say what was in all of our hearts. THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES. God bless Joe Wilson!
Like I said, a president's rhetoric, or that of any high profile leader, contributes to an atmosphere, and those who identify closely with that leader can easily be influenced by it. There is no news there. And it has been a common practice in the past for the MSM to attribute behavior of followers or admirers, or just supposed conservatives, to the words and actions of high profile conservatives.
And if cult like behavior begins to surround a particular leader, their influence over admirers can become even greater. Obama is exhibiting in-your-face behavior unlike any president I can recall. W exhibited such behavior on occasion, but not that often. The idea of 'creating an atmosphere' has been used for years, and a case can be made that Obama is creating an atmosphere that encourages in-you-face behavior by his admirers.
Or, he's setting or example many believe he should not be setting.
Laura Ingraham is on this subject, more or less, this morning. She’s discussing Obama’s statements that the protests by conservatives are “coarsening the culture” while he has nothing to say about the things we’re discussing here, and is certainly oblivious to his own coarse rhetoric.
