Opponents of "Mosque" played Springsteens Born in the USA ?

[JI7]

on NPR they did a review of the news and said there were some protest or something with supporters and opponents of the "mosque". both sides had american flags.

but the opponents of it were playing Springsteen's Born in the USA ?

do these fools not know or just don't care that it's not a pro bigot song ?

1. I think the Boss might have an opinion about that.

2. If these morons haven't figured that song out by this point, they're never going to.

Seriously, the right has been misappropriating that song since its year of release- all the way back to Ronald Reagan. They hear sparkly keyboards, loud snare blasts, and Springsteen yelling, "Born in the USA!" over and over, and that's about all their pea brains can take; lyrics to the verses be damned.

3. I heard that as well and thought it was strange. I though, "Wait until the boss hears about it"
