NPR said P. Diddy was a Republican tonight. They're lying, right? To help

Republicans, they're trying to convince the white suburban 'liberals' lisenting to NPR that a black man likes Republicans, no?

Tonight the anchor reporter asked the floor reporter if P. Diddy was going to be "on the stage" tonight. The floor reporter told him that P. Diddy was "on the floor with an MTV Rock the Vote crew." The anchor said, apropos of absolutely nothing (except lying propaganda), "imagine that! A Republican hip hop clothing designer!"

I know that if I write the omnibus they're just going to say it was an honest mistake. But I know it wasn't an honest mistake.

2. P. Diddy was on with O'Reilly.

O'Reilly was trying to get him to be a rethug but he refused.

P. Diddy claims to be an independent, just focusing on getting out the youth vote.

4. He's an independent, but from what i heard from him on O'reilly...

he's pretty liberal and probably a Kerry guy.

But his focus right now is getting young people to vote (helps Kerry by extention).

6. P. Diddy is NOT a Republican

He is simply working to Get Out The Vote. Andre 2000 (Outkast) was also present yesterday, as well - doing exactly the same.

7. P. Diddy is not a republican.

He did the same thing for Rock the Vote at the Democratic Convention in Boston. He wasn't there cuz he was a repuke- he was there cuz hes a rapper and hes keepin politics real for the kids (lol).

I remember cuz at the end of the DNC they had him on MTV and he was like 'now were off to the Republican convention in New York.'

9. Once again, NPR and FOX on the same page:

I was taken aback by NPR trying to label P. Diddy a Republican despite the stated evidence not supporting the claim.

Well, I guess a memo went around that P. Diddy needs to be portrayed as a Republican because O'Reilly did the same thing:
