Obama Fundraises with Maker of Pro-Drugs 'Stop Snitchin' Video

Hmmmm . . . Interesting.

From the article:

This evening in New York City, President Obama will be fundraising with "NBA heroes," according to his spokesman. Those "heroes" include Michael Jordan (who is also a failed baseball player), Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, and, perhaps most interestingly, Carmelo Anthony.

Anthony helped make the pro-drugs YouTube video called "Stop Snitchin."

"Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony is featured in an underground DVD that is circulating in his hometown of Baltimore, Md," the Denver Channel reported.

The DVD is called “Stop Snitching” and shows alleged drug dealers talking about what happens to people who cooperate with the police, and Anthony is standing next to one of them.

He is also seen on the DVD talking about his Olympic bronze medal and saying that he threw it in a lake. The man he stands next to later goes on to tell how he would take care of snitches by “putting a hole in their head.” However, Anthony does not appear to be taking part in that portion of the discussion.


Are they getting the "Choom Gang" back together?

And of course, you knew i'd point that out.

Did you also point out that the convicted drug trafficker paid for his crime, turned his life around and became a productive citizen?

No, you didn't.

And even if they were legalized, I would not support their use. I just don't think addicts should be treated as criminals, and I don't think street thugs should get rich off peddling illegal materials.

Obama has never taken a stand in favor of legalizing drugs. He is a hypocrite for using this guy as a fundraiser.

Face it, Doove. You're the hypocrite on this one. I know you'll have a smarmy comeback, but we know the truth here.

On the other hand, Romney's former drug trafficker is an American success story, showing how people can turn their lives around. It's a good thing to promote that.
