 You focus on the President's middle name AND you post a picture of him in a turban.
 That's not hinting at racism and xenophobia?
 You belong on the Jerry Springer show.0

 let's examine debate and discuss some of the hardships Paul DAVIS Ryan had while growing up...

 hmmmmm, i don't think my emphasis of his middle name changed my opinion of him for better or worse.."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

 I'm guessing that's the case. The name "Davis" is of Welsh and English origin meaning "beloved". "It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 "It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

 I say our Presidents name and the SAME people call foul and racism for that alone?
 Insane around here. HILARIOUS I say!
 Your posts are generally fearful, hate filled, contemptuos generalisations, which are frightening at times at their lack of depth or reasoning.
 You know full well what game you are playing when using his middle name as such. Also, one factor very common with rasicts across the world is their denial of such. But you see that is why we judge someone not on their denials, but on their assertions, and my friend you have made many.
 I don't see many on here judging the president that way.
 He went to a Muslim school, his dad was Muslim, his step dad was Muslim , how is that racist or bigoted if true. Why did he change his name?“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln0

 When did he change his name?"The stars are all connected to the brain."0

 He went by the nickname "Barry" in college, apparently.
 Much like how Willard Romney goes by the name "Mitt."
 A scandal if I ever heard one.0

 Barry Soetoro is his adopted name....from what I understand his name changed when his step dad adopted him....did he change it back to Obama legally?“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln0

            Im getting rid of PJ Bootlegs, EV tix, etc... if anyone is interested let me know.
 I wont support someone that supports this guy via raising $2mill for him.
 After the gun scandal that he exercised excutive privilege on, he should be impeached.
 Not to mention all the protesting EV did about war and Obama has been in more countrys with our military fighting than Bush!
 Its a joke and he is counting on his fans to not pay attention here and bounce up and down at his shows.
 What happen to "no more war" ? and blaming the president ? its been four years and EV raises $2Mill buck for him ? Really??? :nono: The old Eddie is 'Gone'.
 Liked him better when he was promting Ralph Nater based on Ralph's character.
 PS. Not joking about the tickets and bootlegs.mickeyrat wrote:

 seriously though, not much I can see thats either overt or covert about some of these posts from him. Says a lot about others though. as vehemently as some oppose the views as stated here , they continue to engage in it. rather than simply ignoring what they may find objectionable.
 If some find it that objectionable click the report button, but I think much thought goes into wording so it stays within posting guidelines. he often uses this as a means of shutting others down or at least his interpretation of them....it emanates from their beings...0

 I don't blame you......I got into the band way back when I heard they were trying not to use ticket master so that people could afford tickets.......Eddie is coming to my town and the tickets are so much there is no way I could bring myself to pay that amount. Now I see he is supporting a dinner ( I don't care who it is for) at Twenty thousand a plate? They sold out in the biggest way! Like the guy in Metallica that supports horrendous fines on kids that record there music......Greed!

 Yes Eddie V has fallen to politics. Used to like what he had to say, he was alyways full of it on some things but he was thinking and sincere. Now he feels sold out. He needs to stop knocking the BILL OF RIGHTS. What other rights dont you like?...it emanates from their beings...0

            yeah shut up and sing...
 :fp:
 most of pearl jam's music and lyrics fall to the left of center. are you really that surprised that ed is supporting someone and opposing someone else? he has a platform and he is using it. to not use that platform is irresponsible...
 i think you are about 9 years too late for the eddie hate and the huff and puff about selling the things you liked and maybe even cherished up until about 6 months ago.... we went through it all in the lead up to the iraq war, and you know what? most of those people still post here and still renew their membership and still buy merch and music from here...
 i see this is him using his right to publicly support a candidate and you employing your right to make a similar statement by selling the things you don't want anymore. you are a consumer, you vote every day with how you spend your money. i understand your frustration but you aren't the first and you won't be the last.
 it is like clockwork that we have to read stuff like this every election cycle...."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
 "Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0

            Did I say I was suprised ? No Im not at all.
 He is entitled to use his platform, I dont have to pay for it.
 9 years too late, nope, just like eddie I can say whatever I like as well cant I?
 Or is idol worship the only thing allowed?
 Quit frankly I dont care if Im the first or the last.
 I think its sad that he raised $2mil bucks for someone who covers up gun runners.
 But Romney made $6 million the same night....gimmesometruth27 wrote:yeah shut up and sing...

            You know, these last half dozen or so posts have convinced me to sell off my Ted Nugent collection. Oh wait, that's right, I don't have any. 
 But seriously, I personally am OK with Ed and PJ's left of center thinking but not to the point that it dominates my view of the music. The songs that appeal to me the most are about people and personal relations ("Off He Goes", "Nothingman", "Save You", "Corduroy", Betterman" etc.) and spiritual/philosophical matters ("Marker in the Sand", "Faithful", "I am Mine", etc.) Really, if you think about it, not that many of their songs are political. Politics is important but to me people and ideas are more important."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

            I agree with some of what you say. Ideas are important. I just take exception with who he is raising money for. I have felt the meaning of PJs songs extremely.
 I try not to support McDonalds, their salad isnt that bad, but still I dont because I dont like torured/drug cow meat.
 They have beautiful songs, I just dont want to support the cover ups and loss of rights of the O administration. Really thats it.
 Thanks for articulating yourself in a thought out manner.
