Not sure the GOP needs a music critic arm. Nor are any of the not black celebrities he names identified as conservatives. Seems like I remember a certain Vice President criticizing a white actress some time ago for promoting single motherhood. Didn't go well. Maybe the government should just stay out of the music industry.

What does hip hop have in common with conservatives?

May as well .. most of 'em have no standards anyway.


more thug noise = more fence-sitter resentment = more TEA

It fails two of the big three when defining a conservative political ideology - borders, language, and culture.

“Hip-hop” or urban culture is more of an anti-culture than anything. It is promoted as a counter to the dominant Western Culture of our nation.

Not an idiot, simply a political conservative who earns an enviable income as founder of a large PR firm, which has a number of prominent clients in the hip hop industry. In that context he’s doing his job. I’ll pressure his desire is sincere, however to welcome someone into your tent, they have to turn up at the entrance and ask to come in. I don’t think that’s the case.

The fact that conservative wing does not identify with the hiphop (read: ThugLife/kill-a-cop/women-are-whores/steal-deal-drug/wear-your-pants-around-your-knees) culture... the fact that conservatives don’t identify with this culture and visa versa is one of THE REASONS I am conservative.

If this gentleman openly expressed his conservative views to his clients, he'd be out of a job.

A little bit of research finds that he's also the rep for Benny Hinn and Joe Francis (Girls Gone Wild).

This guy's a conservative? Hardly.

I’ll welcome anyone who holds the basic tenants of conservatism regardless of differences in other areas. I won’t “evolve” and redefine my beliefs to align with them, though. That’s where the GOPe has gone off the rails.

No.

“I want to hear you scream!”
“Play some rap music.”
