This thing is funny. I mean everyone call tell this is a partisan political advertisement right?

And here we are:

Gangsta Government is a project of Minnesota Majority, a non-profit government watchdog group. We believe the Obama administration, together with the 111th Congress, will go down in history as one of the most corrupt governments in our nation’s annals. The strong-armed tactics being employed to force their radical agenda upon the American people is reprehensible.In response, we have created ‘Gangsta Governement‘, a rap video to educate Americans on the corruption that is robbing us of our liberties. Our hope is that this video will inspire people to take back our government from the secular progressive elites who want to transform America into a socialist state. Working together, we can restore the Founder’s principles of limited government and individual responsibility, preserving our precious freedoms for future generations.

We wish to acknowledge columnist Michael Barone who originally coined the phrase ‘ganster government’ in a 2009 column that was the inspiration for our video. Barone has subsequently authored several columns on this subject, including his most recent entitled Gangster Government Stifles Criticism of Obamacare.

We also wish to thank “The Infidel” for his outstanding performance in our music video. His courage in taking a stand for the truth in truly admirable.

Re: Gangsta Government

You know what gave it away? The guy rapped too slowly. No one in the music 'biz' does that if the intended audience are the people that actually buy rap music products.

Doesn't seem partisan to me, but certainly a political statement.

Re: Gangsta Government

seriously? Did you listen to the lyrics, at all?

let's see

images of Obama, Pelosi, Reid lyrics shaking down the fortune 500, 1000 page bills are "new", "teachers Unions - pro-aborts and the greens" , "private sector takeover nearly complete". I can't even keep up with this. The section starting at 2:15 is like a list off of Palin's facebook. CFL lightbulbs, offshore drilling, global warming, etc. etc.

Whether or not you agree with the talking points, isn't the point I'm getting it, some of them are spot on. But there is no denying this is completely and totally partisan.
