Kanye West pretty much guaranteed he won't be getting the Mr. Sensitivity Award this year, after stopping one of his concerts and exhorting two fans to join the crowd standing up — even though one was in a wheelchair and the other had a prosthetic limb.
The rapper halted midway through his show at Quantas Credit Union Arena in Sydney Friday night because two fans weren't standing. He told the crowd to stand for the next song “unless you got a handicap pass where you get special parking and s—.”
He appeared stunned that the two people weren't standing and dispatched a member of his security team to check out the problem.
“This is the longest I've had to wait to do the song — it's unbelievable,” West lamented. Finally, after several minutes and much cajoling, he seemed to become convinced that the duo really couldn't stand.
“You say it's a wheelchair?” West asked one more time before finally launching into his next song.

..... a-a-and here he is trying to defend himself
Kanye West ranted onstage Monday about everyone from Ben Affleck to Matt Lauer — but never issued an apology — as he fired back at criticism over singling out a wheelchair-using fan at a concert in Australia.
“Pick a new target. Pick a new target. Because I'm not one of these dumb-ass artists that you're used to,” West said during a show in Sydney. “You come at me, I'm going to take my platform and break this shit down for real, intelligent people every night. And then, we'll get back to the music.”
The “Stronger” rapper's comments followed a backlash he faced after stopping a Friday show at the Qantas Credit Union Arena in Sydney because two fans weren't standing. West told the crowd to stand for the next song “unless you got a handicap pass where you get special parking and shit.”
As it turns out, West's target was in a wheelchair.
But anyone looking for contrition at Monday's show would be disappointed. West instead lashed out at the media.
“Since this is such big media-press-news and everything that obviously they trying to demonize me,” he told the new crowd. “It's like, ‘Welcome to today's news, ladies and gentlemen.’ We've got Americans getting killed on TV, kids getting killed every weekend in Chicago, unarmed people getting killed by police officers.”
“I'm not going to make one of them Ben Affleck statements and shit.”
“So, people on the ‘Today’ show, I'm not sure I keep up with the news, but if Michael Strahan is still at the ‘Today’ show–no, ‘Good Morning America', Matt Lauer, the girls on ‘The View’ – Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Roberts, if y'all run this, take a step back and look at this: I'm a married Christian man with a family,” he added. “At my concerts, I make sure everybody has as good a time as possible. So, all this demonizing me, it aint’ goin’ to work after a while.”

Is this the douchebag who took the microphone away from Taylor Swift at an awards ceremony? I think he is biggest jackass of all time!

Besides, even if the fans weren't handicapped, asking a security guard to force those people to join in? If they paid for the ticket they can watch the concert anyway they want. Heck, they can even sleep on their seats and West doesn't have any right to send his security over.

I was going to post about this myself! I'd rather Beck not have taken the high road, too. Not only is Kanye not a genius, he's shown himself to be practically retarded.
Beyonce had to have a whole team of writers and producers to do her work for her. On Beck's album, it was just Beck.

Kanye wants this image to dissappear from the internet, so it needs to be spread as far and wide as possible
