I'm an advocate for free speech; it is our right. Whether "I' agree with Kanye or not is besides the point. Yeah for free speech...see I would be the one holding up a "free speech" sign in support of it and not necessarily because what he said. It was, after all, his opinion.
I also don't think his statement will cause the NOians to suffer because they are already suffering due to this catastrophe. I saw his statement as a challenge to Bush who seems to be changing his tune somewhat. I'm definitely NOT a Bush supporter but let's see over the next week or few weeks if his approach changes.
Kanye saw an opportunity and took it. Go Kanye!! I'm not nearly a fan of Kanye's, but I like that he took the risk.
I'm curious if people have people been criticizing Mayor Nagin's comments? That brother was furious and had alot to say. I think there's a transcript out there on the web. His comments, IMO, were just as strong plus he had alot more to say and time to say it. He wasn't censored. I didn't realize Nagin was so "crunk".
