[lbo-talk] Hi-Caliber, the conservative rapper

Meet the Republican Rapper

by Max Blumenthal

The Conservative Political Action Conference always produces a
breakout star. This year’s winner: a hip-hop artist whose artistic
inspirations include Nancy Pelosi.

I met the world's first self-proclaimed "Republican rapper" on the
second day of the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference. He is

fence; and warns darkly of the Fairness Doctrine.
