Remember when the...

[adavid]

Dixie Chicks said something about Bush, and a lot of gap-tooth hillbillies (today, they are called tea-baggers) crushed a bunch of Dixie Chick CD's in front of their local China-Mart in front of TV news cameras?

WHERE IS THE LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE OUTRAGE FROM THE NUGENT COMMENT?

WHY ARE WE LEAVING IT UP TO CORPORATE NEWS MEDIA?

WHERE ARE OUR GROUPS AND DEMONSTRATIONS, CRUSHING SOME NUGENT CD'S IN FRONT OF CAMERAS?

1. Please don't

[deutsey]

2. Nugent is a has-been who would love to provoke that kind of attention

It's probably in large part why he's doing what he's doing: Look at me! Look at me! And buy my CDs!

[sharp_stick]

3. Has he actually produced a CD

in the last 20 years? In any case I wouldn't drop a dime to buy one and smash it.

4. Why buy anything of his?

Ignoring him is, IMO, best thing.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. Because we should prove both sides do it?

6. wha? Nugent isn't one of us.

next.

7. If Nugent isn't tied to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, nobody cares.

I, however, found his comments to be vile, homophobic, and disgusting.

8. I think it's a difference in the people

repubs/conservatives are easily provoked and easily outraged. It doesn't take much at all to get them worked up. Then you have tens of thousands of media markets with the provokers talking and pushing the outrage.

dems/liberals tend not to have spontaneous outrage. Sure we get mad about stuff but I think we also see Ted Nugent for who he is. Only the knuckle draggiest of knuckle draggers listen to Ted. The other 80-90% of the population rolls their eyes and thinks he's a paranoid pant shitting lunatic. He's nobody. And not that the Dixie Chicks are nobodies, but they are entertainers and what they said should not have gotten that kind of response. They're singers that's all. But it gave the mouth breathers something to do and anger at least is an emotion. Maybe it's better to feel that than nothing at all in their small, paranoid little lives.

9. I'd have to buy some nuge in order to crush some nuge in front of cameras,

and I have no intention of buying anything that scumsac is selling.
