P.Diddy is preachin' on MTV now, just told repukes not to "get gangsta"
Ouch, Puffy just laid down the law, said that it was very "racist and disrepectful" to try to suppress and opress voters, and that if "you want to ignite that flame and get gangsta, you better be ready for what comes behind it"!!!!!!!! DAAAAYYYYAAAMMMNN! I can't beleive he just said that. He said something about "my people and your people" meaning...whoa, that was powerful

Now Kerry is on there too!

1. Well they chose this inner war in our own country, I agree with
Puffy, they better be able to handle the fallout of four years of badgering and rediculing any and all who did not drink their koolaid..

MTV is doing a great job in getting a huge voter turn out, and this morning I happened to glance at Nickelodeon and was very surprised by the unbiased election coverage that I obtained in the thirty minutes that this particular show aired..

Sad when you cannot count on our major news outlets for such fair and balanced reporting...times have surely changed..

2. Well...
Puffy's just telling the truth. They know what the game is, and they can well redefine the rules of said game.

6. I saw some black teenage males this evening walking a main..
throughfare in a heavily populated part of NJ holding up Kerry/Edward signs. I've never seen that before. NJ is pumped! Don't believe the hype about NJ being close. We're going to rock *'s world tomorrow.

7. I respect what
MTV is doing...but it is true that MTV is one of the biggest factors responsible for teenage apathy today. I also wish P Diddy could actually incorporate his new found activism into his demeanor and music (which are far from what he is promoting himself as right now). That being said, I appreciate their effort.

8. I'm not sure what you mean.
P.Diddy's movement is independent of MTV's "20 million loud" voter drive.

He's doing this on his own, with his own money, and his voting film was spectacular.

I so appreciated what he said, and it sure as hell makes me feel better to know someone is anticipating voter fraud, and has some kind of plan to deal with it, especially since reading Bev Harris's posts about how the DNC is blowing her off and doesn't want to hear it about the potential for computer vote fraud.

When I went down to the Dem headquarters here, I said a few BBV-related things about vote fraud and all I got were blank stares. I think some of the dems in charge have their heads up their behinds, frankly, and the rest of us will pay if we lose because of it. I'd love to see Puffy take on these creeps with his money and his minions.

10. Good for him!!!!
I didn't even know who he was before this vote or die thing he has going. (I am still not entirely sure what he does----sing?, was that him in Monster's Ball?) Anyway, I am glad he is doing this because it seems to matter to some younger people. Go P.Diddy!!
