Taylor Swift Bashed -- Once Again -- by Kanye West

Taylor Swift may have moved on -- way on -- from last year's debacle at the MTV Video Music Awards when Kanye West interrupted her acceptance speech for Best Female Video, but Kanye is apparently still stewing over the incident and resultant backlash against him. He used a pre-Thanksgiving concert to bash Taylor, who is now riding high with the release of the instantly platinum-selling 'Speak Now.'

The latest rant happened on Tuesday, November 23, at New York City's Bowery Ballroom when Kanye performed the entire track list of his new album 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,' according to the Los Angeles Times.

"Taylor never came to my defense in any interview ... and rode it and rode it," he told the crowd that included several celebrities including Diddy, Q-Tip, John Legend and Spike Lee. "If I wasn't drunk, I woulda been on stage [when I interrupted Taylor] longer."

Kanye also used the appearance to strike out at 'Today' show host Matt Lauer who he said treated him unfairly during a recent appearance.

"Lauer's not a bad guy I'm sure, but if you are a child that's being abused by your parent or you are a girl being abused by your boyfriend -- the greatest win that you could ever have is for that person to hit you in public," said Kanye. "You see?"

The Times' wrote that the statement left them scratching their heads a bit. We understand what they mean.

So much for letting bygones be bygones during the holidays.

Kanye accused Taylor of using his criticism towards her for publicity. Isn't he doing the same thing? He's just trying to get publicity!! My friends who listen to Kanye is right! No!! He's wrong! I will not listen to their station anymore! I got mine on chicagoradioonline and blocked out everybody else so it only plays Taylor Swift all the time!!

Kanye, are you insane or just stupid? Why would Taylor EVER come to your defense you drunk JACKASS! Hell even the President called you out. Taylor refused to talk about the VMAs incident during some interviews so you can't claim SHE rode it. As for you, I don't know. A year later you ranted on twitter and now this. I think you should SUCK IT until your huge ego explodes.

What? Can anyone understand what the hell he's actually babling about? And why would it be a "win" for someone who's being abused to be abused in public? Is he on drugs? Or is my imigination??

The public builds these moronic thugs by buying their product...I used to have a lot of confidence in the young generation, but when they began patronizing the thugs by buying tickets to their games or concerts, I lost respect for them. No wonder why our society is in a continual free fall. That whole lifestyle seems to have actually changed attitudes like the general acceptance it is OK to have kids without being married and so on. It's OK to hit women (or anybody), it's OK or a rite of passage to go to prison, it's OK to steal, and on and on...I'm not even religious, but I live by the golden rule, and it looks like I'm getting to be a rare breed, maybe an endangered specie.

My only question is, what kind of person brings up an old conflict? He Apologized, she Forgave, Now he's brining it back up and especially to the rest of the world? What the hell has the world come to?

Kanye joins the ranks of Michael Vicks of the world...hated, and only apologizes when it suits their needs. Both can go to hell in a handbasket holding hands singing their own praises of "poor me, poor me..." something to the tune of "Jolene" resonates.

We all know that rogwhtvrsclvr is just a dumbass....anyone can see that...well...then again he is a kanye fan, so i guess he just has a mental disorder...oh ya i went there.

I think kanye was drunk..again..when he said all this... He only wants to cut her down, becasue she has it all, a female country singer, while he a male rapper, no one likes..... He just continually embarresses himself..and this is kind of hilarious.

Ok...drunkeness, bad manners, denial, and apparently the inability to take responsibility for his actions that marred someone else's earned accolades (Taylor Swift's) aside.....Did Kanye achieve his goal of apparently trying to impress Beyonce into dating or sleeping with him? Only a "frustrated" drunk would think that would be "sweet" and "endearing" to someone that held their romantic interest.
