(Newser) – Can't get enough of the Common rapper controversy? You're in luck: Jon Stewart will appear on Bill O'Reilly's Fox show Monday to debate the issue, notes TVNewser. Some conservatives were outraged that the rapper and poet got an invite to perform at the White House, but Stewart and others accused them of twisting his body of work out of context by focusing on a few controversial lyrics. (Click to see one of Stewart's takedowns.) The O'Reilly Factor airs at 8pm EST.

Rupert Murdoch renounced his Australian citizenship to control FOX NEWS.   He castigated SUPERMAN for doing so.   Hypocrisy?   Clifford Spencer

Meanwhile... a bill requiring all ISP's to track and retain everything you do on the internet is up for votes. This is how they keep you "entertained" while they screw you to the wall. ::edit:: in the works, not up for vote ::/edit::

"others accused them of twisting his body of work out of context by focusing on a few controversial lyrics." You can only judge someone not only by their actions but what they say..... be it a "few controversial lyrics." or otherwise.
