Well since he probably won't be seeing the Prez, perhaps he'll drop by Fox for a chat with O'reilly.

I would love for him to finally be interviewed by someone who would actually be tough enough to challenge him straightforwardly when he says something absurd, but I'm not trying to see him get verbally annihilated, lol.

Faux news is a frigging joke. They have a reputation for being anti-muslim and spinning news without all the facts.

Im mean we hear about that retarded kid down the street get bitten but do really care to go see him in the hospital?

most don't they just say someone shoulda been watching that poor retarded kid..

[Edited 6/27/11 22:29pm]

I have!

Because I just so happened to care enough about those motherfucking dogs...that it's hurt ME...enough...to do just that!

Even...when the know-nothings...have spit their venom...I could counter them with indisputable FACTS...is the most ironic part about that is! Because...the Prince...I know, love, honor and respect...IS...exactly who taught me that!

It was embedded in ME...by Prince himself...before I hit puberty and I was raised on it!

I cannot do anything else with it because I simply do not know how...but keep it real! Even if that makes Prince himself...hate me and Visa Versa!

I'm not the one that made MY...young...impressionable...ass...BELIEVE...that...

It ain't about no downtown
Nowhere bound
Narrow-minded drag
It's all about being free

I knew this would blow up.....publicity for Prince! But I totally understand what he is saying here.....our country is in CHAOS!!!! Noise pollution. Other countries have order and that is something the US needs! It is very simple when there isn't choices to be made, I've lived in a country where their is 1 type of juice to buy, 1 way of living. While freedom is all fun and dandy when its positive outcomes, but there is too much negative outcomes that come with freedom. The US isn't all that its cracked up to be with their so-called "freedoms." The problem with order, there comes evil. You just can't win. People need to think before they jump all over things...

That's right. With freedom comes race mixing, people sleeping with the same sex, people questioning why certain things are considered wrong in the first place, and fighting against them to change things. Boy, howdy, we wouldn't want those evil things to catch on, now would we?

Read the comments!

I was just about to post:

Just a bit of advice for the Leave Prince Alone Brigade. If your Prince sensitivity can't handle some of the comments on the Org...just do yourself a favor and DO NOT...I repeat DO NOT read the comments attached to that article.

They make his harshest critiques over here seem rather Tame.

Oh, I haven't been over there but I can just imagine what they're saying over there.

I mean, hell, they're Fox fans. Just look at the accusations they make about a professional looking black man like Obama who wears a suit and tie. I can just imagine the comments they're probably making about Prince, a funk rocker who looks and dresses gay as hell.

They are goin' all in on ol' boy! LMAO!!!! And I'm laughin' my ass off because of it. Some of them, of course, are the typical stupid "he's gay" or "he should be called Queen" comments or whatever, but a lot of them definitely call him on this bullshit!

I knew it! What did I just get though posting a second ago and I haven't even been over there yet?

Oh who cares? Fox News is a joke. The interpretation of his comments is a joke.

The Internet has turned into The National Inquirer times a million. All the freedom it promised only to be taken over by idiots and speculation.

By 2012, Prince might even denounce his USA citizenship!

I would have guessed the same thing, and have no interest in reading those responses. Not so much out of an allegiance for Prince, but because it seems to me that just about anywhere on the Internet where large numbers of people have the opportunity to respond to a story, seems to be overwhelmed by negativity for the sake of negativity.

Just as an example, I love to visit IMDB (the Internet Movie Data Base) whenever I watch a movie and want to get more information. Without fail, regardless of the movie, you can count on any number of "critics" to write in with how AWFUL that movie was for them. And it doesn't even matter which movie - ALL of them have their fill of "This was the worst movie of all time!" comments attached, lol. It's as if certain people just feel a need to carry the banner of negativity.

So no, I have no need to go see what Fox viewers have to say about Prince.

If that is your opinion of the internet, then you have a very narrow view.

Your country is in 'chaos'? Really?

You need to stop listening to Prince and develop your own way of thinking. Perhaps read some books for a change.

Like others have said here, your post is one of the stupidest things i've read in a long while. Peopl;e like you need some real life experiences before spurting out such utter garbage

But reading your signature it looks like your way beyond help at this stage

Let's hope he thinks twice about making such a flippant comment in the future..

more folk trying 2 make a buck or get attention off of Prince

For someone who likes to come across as an intellectual he sure has said some of the stupidest shit I ever heard.

God punishing gays was another thing....and he was real quick to use Dr Funkenberry to claim he was misquoted that time.

You're a complete tool. Championing LESS rights as a black woman is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read on this ridiculous site. You are an embarrassment to your gender and your ethnicity.

Actually, a prohibition on the wearing of a piece of religious garment (as occured in France) IS less rights, not more. If the west is really concerned with gender equality then it can do so by doing so in the workplace by paying them equally for the same work (which still doesnt happen in the US or France) or by giving them the same opportunities for promotion as men (which still doesn't happen in France). The controversy around the burqa in Europe IMO is largely just a legacy of the old world fearing they're being taken over by immigrants.

It is over (apart from playing live)...just because he keeps plodding on doesn't mean it's a career. It's like somebody who's been given the sack but keeps turning up to work regardless

Ummm.. your statement doesn't actually make sense. He's still one of the highest grossing artists around globally who happens to make his living doing nothing else.

I could really kick the shit out of you, right about now! [img:$uid]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/SexyBeautifulOne/nuts.gif[/img:$uid]

Faux Nooz has plenty of shit to exploit to make a buck or get attention off, they damn sure didn't need Prince. He sacrificed his own silly ass!!!

Foxes will go after anything, they are naturally greedy bastards.

You're right that sexism exists in Western countries. But Prince was talking about political/religious dictatorships in the Middle East. The journalist inquired again with a follow up question, but old Prince insisted. He said there's a "dark side" to everything. He messed up fiercely, let's just admit it. I didn't see a press release yet, however concise, which said he was misquoted or didn't mean what he actually said. Unless you consider the hasty, vague and evasive stuff of the Doctor a "press release".

Yeah, I agree he "messed up", but from a PR perspective. The statement about there being a "dark side to everything" isn't in the french interview, but even assuming that it was, its a true statement. If he errs IMO its in speaking about something the public doesn't wish to hear. He should save that type of speaking for when he's with West & Smiley, not for these mass news rags. I don't share his conservativism, but hey thats him. To each their own, I dont listen to him for his personal life, I listen to him because I like good music.

Fox News is, in a word, evil. They do not waste an opportunity to create fear, be it of Muslims, Gays, Blacks, union workers, etc.

The way they obviously and amateurishly darkened up that picture can mean only one thing in the Fox News world...they want white people to fear the black. In whatever capacity.

I still think Prince really stuck his foot in his mouth with regard to Muslim women, regardless of which interview you read, but for Fox to make race part of the issue to instill fear in their readers is vile.

I think that criticism is spot on. Case in point; the gov't and certain corporations have been found to literally hire people to invade comment threads and inject their POV into the mix. There was a story not long ago about a security firm that was busted doing just this by Anon, and they had quite a rolodex of clients. Of course, there are worthy things on the internet, but people are finding effective ways of usurping very popular websites, as they find that peopel reading comment sections are really swayed by whatever prevailing POV they read.
