[honeybunny]

The lefties are having a hissy fit cause this clown dared to make fun of the their dear leader:

So sick of this constant nitpicky PC crap... :sick

That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard all week. Well, not the "most" (I have been at work), but it's silly. How long have presidential Halloween masks existed? How many pictures float the internet making fun of Bush? (Still, 7 years later.)

The FLOTUS is lending her voice to a rap album. That shows they should have some sense of humor.

I've gotten to where I don't even raise an eyebrow to most of the stupidity of the left these days, but this brouhaha is completely ludicrous. Ye gods.

They should get mad at P-Bo....

.....he's a walking joke :tapfoot2

This may be changing the subject a little bit, but am I the only one who noticed that Jay Leno started making fun of Barry immediately after he decided to retire for good? The jokes are funny, unlike Letterman's stale and mean spirited 6 year old Bush jokes, and his viewership has gone up. He's back on top by a good margin after posting his lowest numbers ever just two years ago.

The obvious point here is that it's apparently not the "public" that is so afraid of Presbo, or that hold him above sainthood, it's the media. They are fawning all over him in hopes of becoming "certified" journalists with access to his every errant thought.

nope. You're not alone. I've noticed the same thing a few months back. As for the rodeo clown, if it was a Bush or Reagan mask, it would have never made the news.

You know, I remember the outrage when the Dixie Chicks made a comment about Bush during one of their concerts overseas. The whole country was so outraged that a lot of country radio stations refused to play their music. What they said was disrespectful to the office of the President. I kinda see this as the same way. :dunno

That's as sissified as when he threw the baseball. I think he's part girl.

Well, in my opinion the two have only one major difference. One is a part time clown who works on the weekends to entertain the paying customers. The other, well, it's a full-time gig for a few more years.

Dissent was encouraged when Bush was president, now it is crushed by the state.

President Bush also defended the chicks right to free speech, unlike his successor.

I don't see the Dixie Chicks on the same lines as this one. They had every right to say what they did but their fan base didn't appreciate their comments. They were too stupid to realize that. There were cross over comments on both sides but the fans of the DC were outraged and they spoke their minds and put those hideous singers in their place. As for this rodeo situation, the fans didn't complain. They saw it as the joke it was. Public criticism came from gov't officials and racist groups supposedly representing minorities. Management of the state fair responded from the outcry but the outcry wasn't fan based. They caved to race mongers who will move on to other ventures once they get their way.

Maybe you don't see the Dixie Chicks situation the same because you were someone who disagreed with their statements. The Dixie Chicks were cheered at their concert just as the folks at the rodeo cheered. The public outrage in both situations came when the media brought the situation to light. For the Dixie Chicks, the outrage came from the Republicans, but they were embraced by the Democrats - while country radio didn't play them, many liberal stations continued to play their music. Conservative Republicans were absolutely livid about their comments and that what they did was disrespectful to the office of the President. This is clearly the same situation only now the Democrats are outraged and the Republicans are embracing the rodeo clown's actions.

Apple's and oranges. I'm sorry you can't see that. Sure there are "similarities" but the principles are not the same. DC were idiots for insulting their fans. The concert you mention was in England and they felt comfortable bashing the prez and their actions caught up with them. You're also wrong in the media thing. It was politicians on the rodeo issue and the naacp that fueled the fire. The media just reported the political outcry. There is a big difference between govt objections/interventions and private sector retaliation. Ask the DC, they'll tell you.

I don't see it that way. As soon as I heard the news story about the rodeo, I immediately saw the similarities and I'm sorry that you can't see or admit that.

That's what did it for me...that they were bashing our prez on foreign soil. And they were pretty ugly about it.

I see it this way. If I disagree with the DC, then I simply don't buy their music. If I disagree with the clown, I simply don't attend that rodeo. It's my choice. Should the DC stop recording because I don't agree with them? No. (However, I don't see the Democrats who screamed they had a right to their opinion keeping their music relevant.) Should the clown stop his act because I disagree? No.

I no longer support anything related to Susan G. Komen. I'm not asking anyone else to participate, I just don't. They have their freedoms and I have mine.

Your choices have consequences. If you are willing to live with those, have at it.

The difference is huge. Public outrage is one thing, retribution and rebuke by elected officials is something else.

According to how you view things, I can see how you would think that Dixie Chicks were done the same way, but when you look at the facts and apply them to the proper principles, you can see that they are not the same. When facts point to a logical conclusion, I admit that. Either way it really doesn't matter, but it makes for great conversation.
