Eminem's politically active video, which wasn't originally going to be on MTV, was requested by enough internet people that they edited it a touch and started broadcasting it. You can view the unedited version online here. (http://mosh.eminem.com/video/) It's a hell of a thing.

Geek warning--I bought a black hooded sweatshirt to vote in on Tuesday.

I love that video! Will this song be on his album thats coming out?

Yeah, when it first hit the net I bombed MTV's TRL with write-in requests. :D

It's a kickass video, and it's great he's getting involved.

I'm not quite sure though why Lloyd Banks shows up halfway through when he doesn't even say anything. :p

so many voters will base their votes entirely off of what Eminem is telling them. And frankly, many of the scenes are not true. The scene of the Police troopers holding the line with shields and truncheons will not be seen on election day. People will not be disenfranchised.

I believe everyone has a right to express their points of view, but when they support their side by showing a non-realistic scenario, well, I just don't approve, I am not saying it should be restricted, but I am saying that what is being done is highly reprehensible.

Both sides rely on generalizations, emotions, smears, insinuations, questionable support, and outright lies, in addition to their valid points and arguments.

I can get angry with Toby Keith, but it's not worth it.

Yeah, when it first hit the net I bombed MTV's TRL with write-in requests. :D Me too, but more because I want everyone to see it rather than because I think it's a good video; I don't. I think Eminem is a sack of shit. But I agree with the sentiment expressed behind the video.

ah well, I'm a solid Em fan. I can't wait to hear some other songs off Encore, he typically releases his worst songs first on every album he's been a part of.

Even if I liked his style of music, some of the lyrics to his songs would seriously still make me sick.

I admit it, I'm a hater, can't stand rap. Somehow I'm probably a Narc as well.

Rats! They've got Eminem.. AND Bruce Springstein! We're sunk! :(

Guess I'll just have to stay home on election day. ;)

Good plan, I applaud your decision.
