    You laugh but it is actually quite sad. These artists are all being vilified, getting death threats, etc. for just wanting to play a gig. Most of them are not even political. As somebody who was pro-bush AND pro-bushleaguer I find the constant attack on artists to be shameful. It happens on both sides and it is not a good thing.
    it's not "just wanting to play a gig". they are potentially gaining notoriety (i.e: forwarding their own careers) off the back of a misogynist rapist pig.

    if they had wanted to play for Cruz or Carson or even Guiliani, no one would be batting an eye.

    How would you feel about bands who agreed to play at the swearing in of the new grandmaster of the KKK or something like that? No prob? Shameful to criticize them?
    The only difference being that the KKK, by its very nature, is hatred with a very clear mission statement.

    That being said... I can completely understand why no band wishes to participate in such an event. It's a poopoo platter being served and if given the choice... people don't have to eat from it.
    Your KKK analogy is insane but I recognize that is where the state of the opposition is these days. That being said I have no problem with bands who don't want to participate...that is completely their right. What I am talking about is bands who want to participate but are having their lives torn apart for even considering it.

    I guess we all hate the Dixie Chicks now!

  • I don't condone death threats against anybody, by the way. I can understand people getting upset about it, but death threats? that's a little fucked up.

    I'll give you guys a hint, straight from the horses mouth!

    https://mobile.nytimes.com/1998/09/16/opinion/forgiving-george-wallace.html

    This is my favorite quote from democratic super delegate and democratic congressional leader and Trump Resistor from a year ago about the preposterous thought of free education.

    Horses mouth!

    “I think it’s the wrong message to send to any group. There’s not anything free in America. We all have to pay for something. Education is not free. Health care is not free. Food is not free. Water is not free. I think it’s very misleading to say to the American people, we’re going to give you something free.”



    This is my favorite quote from democratic super delegate and democratic congressional leader and Trump Resistor from four years ago to the Cal Board of School Administrators.

    “Today we must do what we can to see that all of our children…it doesn’t matter whether they’re Black or White, Latino or Asian American, or Native American, get the best possible education. Education is a right, it is a civil right. So stand up for it, fight for it, speak up for it, speak out for it.”
    There is no inherent contradiction in these two quotes. Something can be seen as a basic right and also not be free. Canadians accept this with healthcare - we see it as a basic right that everyone has access to healthcare regardless of ability to pay, but that doesn't magically make health care costs go away. It simply means that they are paid by other means, such as taxpayers. Public school education is the same, and there is no particular reason why higher education couldn't be of that was what society decided.
    The representative from Georgia used the term civil "right" when referring to education. I guess we could argue basic right versus civil right but he he said specifically civil right, "education, it is a civil right".

    Point: when in front of donors, education = civil right, when to oppose Bernie, education = commodity.
    Oh, I understand your point. I just disagree with your interpretation.

    Lol, it was a perfectly reasonable question. I was asking to see where you stand in terms of criticizing artists for who the choose to perform for. Apparently, you have a line where criticism of artists' choices goes from shameful to justified. Somehow you believe that your line is the definitive one.

    The comedy is kind of over for me. The situation has moved from being hilarious to being pathetic.

    I'm sure there will be plenty more laughs at the orange one's future follies, but the real issue is the fact that it would at least appear that half of the US is either flat out stupid or morally bankrupt. How else do you choose to vote for such a slob (no need to state his negative qualities here... they've been well documented to this point)?

    If you're of the stupid variety and gal darn it... ya just wanted to make America great again... I can understand. If you're not stupid... then wtf man? Hilary was far from fantastic, but let's be honest around here: Trump was obviously way worse and he's proved so each and every day.

    Most people are stupid.
    Canadians aren't smarter as individuals, y'all just have a culture that doesn't encourage people to be actively dumber than they truly are.
    hahah...actively dumber

    masterful words:

    Garrison Keiller, Washington Post

    Trump Voters Will Not Like What Happens Next

    So he won. The nation takes a deep breath. Raw ego and proud illiteracy have won out, and a severely learning-disabled man with a real character problem will be president. We are so exhausted from thinking about this election, millions of people will take up leaf-raking and garage cleaning with intense pleasure. We liberal elitists are wrecks. The Trumpers had a whale of a good time, waving their signs, jeering at the media, beating up protesters, chanting “Lock her up” — we elitists just stood and clapped. Nobody chanted “Stronger Together.” It just doesn’t chant.

    The Trumpers never expected their guy to actually win the thing, and that’s their problem now. They wanted only to whoop and yell, boo at the H-word, wear profane T-shirts, maybe grab a crotch or two, jump in the RV with a couple of six-packs and go out and shoot some spotted owls. It was pleasure enough for them just to know that they were driving us wild with dismay — by “us,” I mean librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners, Unitarians, bird-watchers, people who make their own pasta, opera-goers, the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves, that bunch. The Trumpers exulted in knowing we were tearing our hair out. They had our number, like a bratty kid who knows exactly how to make you grit your teeth and froth at the mouth.

    Alas for the Trump voters, the disasters he will bring on this country will fall more heavily on them than anyone else. The uneducated white males who elected him are the vulnerable ones, and they will not like what happens next.

    To all the patronizing B.S. we’ve read about Trump expressing the white working-class’s displacement and loss of the American Dream, I say, “Feh!” — go put your head under cold water. Resentment is no excuse for bald-faced stupidity. America is still the land where the waitress’s kids can grow up to become physicists and novelists and pediatricians, but it helps a lot if the waitress and her husband encourage good habits and the ambition to use your God-given talents and the kids aren’t plugged into electronics day and night. Whooping it up for the candidate of cruelty and ignorance does less than nothing for your kids.

    We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids, and we Democrats can go for a long , brisk walk and smell the roses.

    I like Republicans. I used to spend Sunday afternoons with a bunch of them, drinking Scotch and soda and trying to care about NFL football. It was fun. I tried to think like them. (Life is what you make it. People are people. When the going gets tough, tough noogies.) But I came back to liberal elitism.

    Don’t be cruel. Elvis said it, and it’s true. We all experienced cruelty back in our playground days — boys who beat up on the timid, girls who made fun of the homely and naive — and most of us, to our shame, went along with it, afraid to defend the victims lest we become one of them. But by your 20s, you should be done with cruelty. Mr. Trump was the cruelest candidate since George Wallace. How he won on fear and bile is for political pathologists to study. The country is already tired of his noise, even his own voters. He is likely to become the most intensely disliked president since Herbert Hoover. His children will carry the burden of his name. He will never be happy in his own skin. But the damage he will do to our country — who knows? His supporters voted for change, and boy, are they going to get it.

    Back to real life. I went up to my home town the other day and ran into my gym teacher, Stan Nelson, looking good at 96. He commanded a landing craft at Normandy on June 6, 1944, and never said a word about it back then, just made us do chin-ups whether we wanted to or not. I saw my biology teacher Lyle Bradley, a Marine pilot in the Korean War, still going bird-watching in his 90s. I was not a good student then, but I am studying both of them now. They have seen it all and are still optimistic. The past year of politics has taught us absolutely nothing. Zilch. Zero. Nada. The future is scary. Let the uneducated have their day. I am now going to pay more attention to teachers.

    That was nothing but a severely judgmental, decisive and superior piece of garbage. Dems lost. But they're right, because they say so.
    the article does basically generalize Trump supporters as being of a certain type of person. I think that was the idea. If you supported Trump and you are not one of those people, then you are likely offended by this. Perhaps you need to start defending your man?
    Here we go again. I am not a part of your broken 2-party system. Didn't vote Trump nor Clinton but label me however you see fit.

    This is exactly the problem w/ America.
    well, there you go. you are off the hook. feel free to continue to trash the system.
    Is that all you're going to do? Defend the broken system rather than look at it objectively and see what the real problem here is? One side is not better than the other. One side is not better than the other. One side is not better than the other.
    i don't think i've really ever defended or trashed our broken system. i've mostly just been trashing Trump. I suppose 'the system' is a broad term and depending on who you talk to, you will get a different answer in regards to how the system is broken. May I ask which parts are broken for you?

    Very theatrical...you have allot in common with Lewis.

    Lying is okay if you marched with MLK? Okay

    Boycotting the last two elected presidents you disagree with isn't bigotry or political but principled? Okay
