Rap Kid Rock inaugural pick (Wildmon "Slap in the Face" Consv Christians)

[RamboLiberal]

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/268839p-230237c.html

Conservative Christians are flabbergasted about reports that raunchy rock-rapper Kid Rock will perform at a youth concert at the presidential inauguration.

"What in the world are these people thinking?" asked Donald Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association in Tupelo, Miss. "This is the biggest slap in the face to the Christian conservatives."

<snip>

And back in 1990 - when President Bush's father was in the White House and his mother, Barbara, was First Lady - Kid Rock sang: "Pimp of the Nation, I could be it/ As a matter of fact, I forsee it/ But only pimpin hoes with the big tush/ While you be left pimpin Barbra Bush."

"Boy," Wildmon admonished. "Where I come from, you talk about my mama like that, those are fightin' words. Shooting words!"

Inauguration planners seemed to be backpedaling yesterday about the event following a call from the Daily News. "Kid Rock has not been confirmed," insisted Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman from the Presidential Inaugural Committee. "But I can tell you Hilary Duff has been confirmed, as has JoJo."

Schmitt added, "There's no greater defender of family values than President Bush."

[XanaDUer]

1. Yeah, some of the "values" X-tians

are already writing chimp about it at www.congress.org.

"January 7, 2005

The Detroit-based rapper, who dedicated his first album to songs about oral sex and who was voted the Sluttiest Male Celebrity at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, will perform Jan. 18 at the Washington, D.C., Armory in a concert hosted by Bush daughters Jenna and Barbara. Teenage singer JoJo also will appear at the event.

Please remember we voted for Christian values in the past election.

Selma , TX"

[blm]

53. Those ARE Bush's FAKE Christian values. If they don't realize that by now

they are HUGER FOOLS than we thought.

Bush is NOT a Christian and holds NO Christian values. He is a FASCIST, a CORPORATIST and a PLUTOCRAT.

The Christians were used, just as Rove and Bush planned.

[XanaDUer]

64. I know.

But, they vote their values. :eyes:

So, let Bush screw 'em.

[Vanje]

2. Who is JoJo?

?

[chicagojoe]

6. Another "piece of eye candy", teenage singer type.

[Vanje]

11. Ah

Like Ricky Martin only straight and less talented?

[chicagojoe]

49. Female

[PassingFair]

91. JoJo is a hypersexualized

13 year old.

[Critical Thinker]

94. pic of JoJo

Kinda sick how some folks will whore their own children, ain't it?

[reprobate]

95. That's the most obscene pic I've seen on this board!

With the exception of some of the Iraq pics.

A 13 yr old? Sicko.

[mitchum]

111. Apparently, Joe Simpson isn't the only pimp dad out there

[progressivebydesign]

100. 13 year old EYE CANDY, As a parent of a 13 year old girl...

Pardon me while I :puke: This is a sick fucking country.

[phasev]

8. Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner. n/t

[FredScuttle]

33. But he knew it couldn't last.

Jo-Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona,
For some California grass.

[la la]

36. jo jo

wasn't that Winslow, AZ ---?

[SemperEadem]

40. no, that's where I was standing on a corner

such a fine sight to see
it's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
slowing down to take a look at me...

[Vanje]

43. Tulsa Oklahoma

Tucson Arizona
Barstow!
Kingman !
San Bernadino!

Wont YOU get hip to this timely trip
When you take that California trip
Get your kicks
On Route 66!

[Stuckinthebush]

46. This whole sub-thread

had me laughing pretty damn hard.

Thanks! I needed that today.

:D

[Dhalgren]

47. "I'll spend the rest of my live in San Ber-dino!"

(edited it to fit with adrian's pronunciation)

[demily]

41. Jojo is a thirteen year old girl

That's right, I said thirteen. The first time I saw her video, she seemed like any other generic teenybopper pop star, except something was a little off, something I couldn't put my finger on. Then I found out -- she's just a little child that they tart up and splash all over the TV. Sick. :puke:

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

99. One word: Jailbait.

[Maddy McCall]

67. The sign-languaging gorilla?

A gorilla at the chimp's inauguration. How appropriate.

[BuelahWitch]

98. No, her name is KoKo

not to be confused with Kukla, who is the puppet in my avatar

[Weembo]

73. A man who thought he was a loner

[RFKHumphreyObama]

87. He's not KCI's Jojo is he?

You know the duo who performed "All My Life" and other such hits during the 1990s?

[conflictgirl]

93. No, it's a different one.

http://www.jojoonline.com

[chicagojoe]

3. See, the Radical Religious Right thinks they OWN America.

They have been emboldened by the Revenge of the Nerds that occurred
on 11-2-04. They think they are in charge now.

[Verve]

4. LOL! I hope they follow through and really have him. It'll be a riot. n/

[phasev]

5. Kid rock is a slap in the face of the human race. n/t

[PROGRESSIVE1]

7. White Trash. Also, we might have 2 MORE teeny-bopper FReepers....

to deal with:

""Kid Rock has not been confirmed," insisted Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman from the Presidential Inaugural Committee. "But I can tell you Hilary Duff has been confirmed, as has JoJo.""

"Hillary Duff and JoJo". We may have to add them to the "list".

[la la]

35. Eminem

I would suggest Eminem - performing 'Mosh'---I'm an old lady and that song and video continue to amaze me ---

But that would not make the fundiebushies happy either --aw well, ya can't please everybody ---did the twins pick the entertainers?

[Stuckinthebush]

50. Deconstruction time

White trash denotes that white people should be above a certain behavior associated with certain minority groups who are expected to be "trash".

[JI7]

9. is it ok if we recorded it and send them to churches and conservative

organizations ?

[DBoon]

39. Sounds like a wonderful idea!

After all, the fundie groups video gay pride parades and send them to their sympathizers for shock value, why not do the same with the inaugural?

[kweerwolf]

10. Perhaps they should hold the inaugruation in Branson

"What in the world are these people thinking?" asked Donald Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association in Tupelo, Miss. "This is the biggest slap in the face to the Christian conservatives."

Well, pfffffft! ... Just what does Mr. Wildmon expect. Besides, Pay Boone and Anita Bryant were both busy that day with a show in Branson.

[HeeBGBz]

120. Actually they will have a satellite hookup with Branson

Branson Inaugural

They are trying to turn the whole country into one big Branson.

It's a nest of fundie, right-wingers.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

12. Now we know why Kid Rock supported Bush in the election....

He's getting paid back by performing in the inauguration.

btw - he's wrong HE'S wrong.... HE'S the one who is the whore.

[shaolinmonkey]

13. And to think they used to get worked up when the Beach Boys

played the 4th of July.

Jimmy Watts found them "immoral". Now friggin' Kid Rock is playing the inauguration?

I think all these RW musicians are in for a rude awakening when the Christian Right turns on them like a rabid wolverine. Good luck, morans. Looks like you backed the wrong horse!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

14. Note to Lil' Bobby Ritchie:

Bobby, you poseur moron, they don't like you. They didn't like you when you were mouthing your words of support for them, back during the campaign and they don't like you now.

You have been used. Conned. They made you their jailhouse bitch, their Ho, to use a vernacular I am sure you will understand.

Bobby, you idiot, how does it feel to know you are really THAT stupid? I hope you are prepared for a lot of laughing and pointing.

You so deserve it.

[Vanje]

15. They should get a nice Christian girl

I'll bet Ashlee Simpson is free that night!

[GOPNotForMe]

24. Flawed as she may be, Asslee Simpson supported Kerry. NT

[Celeborn Skywalker]

32. I believe it was jessica that supported Bush

Ashlee supported Kerry.

[conflictgirl]

59. You are correct. And I am embarrassed to know that.

[Anakin Skywalker]

79. Ooh! Family Feud? I Like that!

:) They must've had a lovely time at the family gathering this past xmas.

[Megahurtz]

16. I think it's funny!

All the fundies have their undies in a knot!:silly:

[drdtroit]

17. "There's no greater defender of family values than President Bush."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ....
Just ask the Iraqi's!

[VegasWolf]

23. Excellent point! They may not have such a rosy picture of him. n/t

[hollowdweller]

121. Kid Rock and Ashcroft could do a duet on the "eagle" song from F911!

He and Ralph Reed could do a duet on Bull God!

[KDLarsen]

125. Unfortunately..

.. they have already enlisted someone else to do "Let The Eeeeeeaaaggllles Sooooaaaaaaaaaarr".

I think I'm going to put F911 on the DVD for some tragi/comic entertainment.

[arcane1]

18. will Mr Rock encourage his young fans to enlist in the military?

will he himself enlist?

didn't think so...

[coloradodem2005]

19. This makes me want to laugh.

It is just so funny. The hypocrisy is just oozing off the walls.

[Cobalt Violet]

20. Funny the conservative worried so much a Janet's boob.

While at the very same Superbowl half-time show Kid Rock wore an American Flag.

[Anakin Skywalker]

80. I Don't Know WTF the CONservatives' problem was...

Janet has lovely boobs. Maybe the rightwingers were just jealous.

[jhain]

21. "What in the world are these people thinking?" asked Donald Wildmon, chair

"What in the world are these people thinking?" asked Donald Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association in Tupelo, Miss.

They are thinking what they have always thought, you dumb twit.
Except, now W ain't running for nothin no more so who needs ya?

Party's over for all you Christans.

[dolo amber]

22. "This is the biggest slap in the face to the Christian conservatives."

Uhhh....DUH!! You've already ELECTED him, you idiots...you're no longer of any value...:eyes:

Jesus, my 14 yr old has more sense...and why do I suddenly have the old song "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" in my head? :evilgrin:

[leesa]

25. christian conservatives deserve repeated slaps to their selfish, bigoted

faces.

[Zenlitened]

26. "Shooting words"

"Boy," Wildmon admonished. "Where I come from, you talk about my mama like that, those are fightin' words. Shooting words!"

Violent fundamentalists. Nice. :scared:

[KDLarsen]

126. My thoughts exactly..

.. I suppose this is an indication of their twisted take on "moral values".

[Miami Liberal]

27. They're desperate for musical acts

Most of the good musicians are Democrat and no way in hell will perform for the shrub.

[imax2268]

31. exactly...

I don't think any GOOD musician wants to be seen with a bunch of people killing faux christians...

[aquart]

90. They're Democrats or they're Democratic.

Don't let Rush decide how you refer to your own party.

[Miami Liberal]

92. I don't waste my time listening to Rush

so I wouldn't know. :shrug:

[RPM]

28. when will they realize they are being used.

neo-cons will dispose of relligion when it is of no further use to them....

37. Please

refrain from posting Kid Rock's lyrics on DU. They are vile, sexist and ignorant.

[Renew Deal]

38. Sorry

I actually meant well.

[DBoon]

42. Instead, get ahold of a "Christian" mailing list

and do a mass mailing, with a cover letter noting that this performer was selected for Bush II' inaugural celebration.

[OnionPatch]

30. This story actually gives me hope

I think it's a glimpse of the coming rift in the Republican party. Most of the Republicans I know are the tax-break, greedy, consumer types or macho, kick-your-ass wannabees who love sleaze and Kid Rock types. They are already bristling at the control the fundies have on their party and vice-versa.

[Democrats_win]

34. Picture in his album: the middle finger: symbol of bush?

Inside the CD case, of "Devil Without a Cause" is photo of a middle finger. How'bout those hypocritical values! Only two good songs on the album.

[coloradodem2005]

48. Which ones?

Maybe "Only God Knows Why" but that may be it.

[baldingrockwarlord]

85. figures...

He didn't write that one, it was a Hank Williams tune. Kid Rock is a talentless street thug. I highly doubt he could stand his own and do a whole night, much less a set, just him playing ANY musical instrument and singing. The industry became a "cult of personality" right at the end of the arena rock era in the early nineties. That's when the industry stopped promoting skilled musicians and writers and began focusing on rap/hip-hop "artists" and street thugs.

[coloradodem2005]

89. Not all rap is bad.

There is some good rap and hip-hop. There was also grunge in the early 90's. I think things started getting bad around 1997-98, when Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit started getting big and on the other hand, that was also when teen pop became big. It was all this shit that spurred this on.

[otohara]

118. Dick and George Have No Problem

w/ middle fingers - someone posted a old video of Bush flipping his middle finger before a TeeVee interview in Texas, Karen Hughes was heard giggling.

[catmandu57]

44. Looks like the cc's aren't even going to get a kiss

they've been used, like a wad of cum soaked kleenex. I have'nt heard of any of their agenda being pushed yet, just efforts to get the wealthy the rest of the marbles.
A great big WE TOLD YA SO MAGGOTTS.

[ernstbass]

45. This is hilarious

I hope they attack each other like a bunch of jackals! Pass the popcorn, sit back and enjoy!

[William Bloode]

51. What we need is...

Maybe a Marvin Gaye (rip :( ) to sing "Whats Goin' On" Sure beats the hell outta Kid Rock, JoJo, and Hitlary Duff.

God i hate pop music!!!!!

[kwolf68]

52. Family Values Christian

"Boy," Wildmon admonished. "Where I come from, you talk about my mama like that, those are fightin' words. Shooting words!"

Why do they always have to resort to violence like this?

LMAO at the "talent" that will be "on loan from God" for Chimpys festival. Where is Toby Keith, Darrell Worley and the rest of the KKKountry music crowd?

Meanwhile, the real talent is out protesting the shrub.

[Canuckistanian]

54. Hillary Duff - Britney Spears Lite

Looks great, 1/2 the sleaziness!

[progressivebydesign]

101. I'll tell my 13 year old about Hilary... I feel a boycott coming on. n/t

[LibertyLover]

55. Ahh, the talent they are amassing

JoJo? Oh please - she "sung" at the Orange Bowl a few nights ago and absolutely murdered the Star Spangled Banner. I'm from Maryland, I'm a soprano and I've sung in a number of choral groups - I know the National Anthem isn't easy to sing - but it's not as difficult as she made it out to be. Cut out all the damn quavers on each note, knock off the grimacing like that high note just burst a blood vessel and stop making like the mike was your boyfriend's roger and sing the song the way it was written - no dramatics needed.

[Maat]

72. LOL!

LibertyLover, that was well-put.

[daleo]

56. This "Wildmon" should change his name

Wildmon makes me think of wildman, which makes me think of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. If he had any Christian principles he would change his name to something more appropriate, like Tamemon.

Plus, he should quit threatening to shoot people.

[Anakin Skywalker]

81. Right On!

Heh heh. :)

[Rob H.]

57. What?!

"Boy," Wildmon admonished. "Where I come from, you talk about my mama like that, those are fightin' words. Shooting words!"

This from a minister? Where is that in the Bible? "And the LORD said, whosoever doth insult thy sainted mother shall have a cap popped into his buttocks forthwith"? Don't think so.

From their Web site: "The American Family Association represents and stands for traditional family values, focusing primarily on the influence of television and other media on our society."

Uh, yeah, I could see where "traditional values" means you get to shoot someone who talks trash about your mama. :eyes:

[Khephra]

63. Maybe not shooting words

But you're allowed to stone disobedient children according to the Bible. Well, OT Bible, that is. Maybe he considers buckshot to be a modern equivalent of stoning?

[Bo]

58. get back to where you once belong

[Behind the Aegis]

60. Never happy

These people make me ill! They are NEVER happy! If they removed all the queers, Hebs, darkies, etc....they still WOULDN'T be happy! They are perpetual victims. They do it to themselves, yet blame everyone else. I wish they would just petition for a square state and all move there and have at it!

[leesa]

68. This is so true. It's why the concept of the Rapture, where christians

begin their 1000 years of peace after all the sane people are killed by their oh so benevolent god, is such a laugh riot. They would have peace for all of 10 minutes before they were finding something to fight with each other about.

These people are so unhappy to be alive, but their religious beliefs don't allow them to kill themselves.

[Behind the Aegis]

74. Misery loves company

That adage is their mantra! If they can't be happy, no one can be! They spend all this time worrying about the "afterlife" and fail to worry about what they do now! They are a sad lot. What is sadder, is that they have all this power and so many people bend to their will!

[Anakin Skywalker]

82. The Problem Right Now

is that they insist on spreading their misery onto the rest of us! :(

[reprobate]

97. Understandable. The very basis of christianity is guilt.

We were all born in sin and there's nothing WE can do about it.

What a nasty psychologicly damaging idea. No wonder they've started so many wars. If everyone is sinful, they deserve to be killed.

[Montanan]

61. I'm a better "Christian" than most conservative Christians...

...and I don't even believe in God! No, the love of Jesus isn't in them. Never has been.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

62. I hope they don't back out on this one.

He is Picture Perfect for the inauguration! He portrays many of the same values as the * admin. In many ways they were cut from the same cloth. Vile, nasty, utterly devoid of morals, he's excellent I tell you!

Just look at that handsome picture posted of him wearing an American flag! He's a bushie American.

Then there's the added bonus of it being a reality biting slap in the face to the fundies.

[MADem]

65. AH, YES!!! The FLAG DESECRATION PONCHO!!!!

Cut from the same cloth, indeed!!!!

Ya know, I watched the SUPERBOWL, and when I saw that lameass mofo trot out on the stage with his desecrated flag poncho I was genuinely appalled. I understand the civil liberties issues around flag burning, and so on, and while I don't especially like it, I understand the "political statement" aspect of it all. What I don't understand is how a "fashion statement" is somehow not commented upon, but a boob with a bottle cap on it gets everyone all a-twitter.

When that floppy boob popped out, I said to myself, "Well, no one will be talking about the asshole who cut a hole in a flag to make himself a poncho, now, will they?" and damn, I was right!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

70. I just hope he decides to wear some nice flag attire if does play.

If he were a Dem and had wore that poncho out on stage it would have been mentioned even with the wayward escape boob. It would have been used to paint an even more grim picture of amoral, unamerican values.

As it were, nothing, nada, zip! These are strange times.

[MADem]

77. Like, say, a diaper

But hey, he IS a Republican....and the right wing 'rules' do not apply when the GOP breaks them!!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

86. Now that would be funny!

But, I’m pretty sure that my cynical theory wouldn't hold up to that test. They’d excommunicate him for that infraction in a heartbeat. He might even get Guantanamo for that one. :P

[freedom_to_read]

66. Not JOJO!

Oh, whew, for a minute I thought they meant Jonathan Richman!

:scared:

[damntexdem]

69. I also find it a slap in the face that ...

Kid Rock would appear in such a disreputable venue.

[AngryOldDem]

71. The betrayal begins

The Christian Right is going to start finding out how much they have been used by Bush and his ilk. This is only the beginning.

I love it.

[neuvocat]

76. Bush is no christian.

Any man who ignores his own church and says that muslims (sp?) pray to the same god cannot boast about his faith with any sort of sincerity.

[KDLarsen]

127. Eh, I thought Christians & Muslems WERE praying to the same god..

.. its' only the prophets that differs. Heck, Muslems even acknowledges that birth of Jesus Christ.

[Chovexani]

75. Randi was cracking me up the other day

She had some mellow Muzak playing in the background while she read some of Kid Rock's lyrics for the benefit of Repukes who might not know him. I was in the car with my mom and we were HOWLING. I don't care what anybody says, I love Randi.

[Anakin Skywalker]

78. One Redneck Decrying Another!

Ho ho ho! This is rich! The dogs are fighting among themselves over there in Rethuglican Land.

[d_b]

83. I've always hated Kid Rock

Never knew why until now.

[loudsue]

84. Kid Rock is as dumb as a Rock...that's how he got his name...

He got used by the bush mob, and is too stupid to know it.

Actually, rocks are smarter.

But I seriously doubt the Kkkristian KKKoalition is going to leave bush...they're getting their 15 minutes of fame under this regime, and he can screw 'em all he wants to, and they'll still bow at his feet.

Besides, the repukes plan to use them again come 2006 to justify how they managed to get a filibuster-proof congress. They'll be as nice to the KKKristians as they need to be.

Real Christians, meanwhile, are being silenced.

:kick::kick::kick:

[genieroze]

104. A Rock Sings For A Bush? eom

[RFKHumphreyObama]

88. Hilary Duff and Kid Rock

:puke: :puke: :puke:

Two questions:
(1) Where's Britney "I support my President" Spears?
(2) Are these two singers examples of the Republican talent pool?

[tanyev]

96. Dear Donald,

SLAP!!! That's reality hitting you in the face, big boy. You voted for Bush and told all your followers to vote for him. I guess you just have to deal with it. Boo-frickin' Hoo.

[chimpy the poopthrower]

102. "fightin' words" -- they're calling Bush a wimp!

Well, perhaps wimp is not the right term. But what would you call a guy who would hire someone who had sung really bad things about his mother? It's certainly not a very noble thing to do.

[Anakin Skywalker]

107. Rethugs Aren't Very Noble, Period.

Shrub would sell his own mother if it means getting more youth votes. Anything for a vote. That is the Rethug mentality.

[genieroze]

103. "This is the biggest slap in the face to the Christian conservatives."

BawHahahahahahahahah. What did the five fingers say to the face? Slap Bi+ch.

[NuttyFluffers]

105. y'know, i couldn't write a more absurd scene.

except for maybe Kinsey 6 and Sylvester (may he rest in peace) being asked instead.

[pauliedangerously]

106. Very amusing that the Chairman of the AFA

would be talking about "fightin' words. Shooting words." Very funny indeed....and Jesus weeps.

(not meant to be derogatory to those who truly believe)

[Anakin Skywalker]

108. Heh Heh Heh. That's Conservative

"moral, family values" for ya! :)

[Nevernose]

109. Shit, Santa just bought my kid a Hilary Duff CD for Christmas!

Although, if I tell her that Hilary Duff supports Bush, she'll gladly throw the CD in the trash, if just for my sake. She really isn't old enough to have opinions beyond mine and her enjoyment of Hilary Duff.

What do I do?

[sonicx]

112. i doubt Duff supports Bush. Some singers take these jobs...

regardless of their politics just so they can get the $$$. And I know for sure that JoJo isn't for Bush. Mandy Moore sang for him one time and people thought she was for him too, but she came out for Kerry.

Hilary Duff is a bad singer anyway. Shame on Santa for getting that crap for her! :D

[Nevernose]

113. She wanted Hillary Duff, Abbey Road, and Sgt. Pepper's

Those two albums, a soccer ball, and a guitar were all she wanted. She got a cheap guitar. Santa got her those and "Sgt. Pepper's," too. Easiest Christmas ever, and I can listen to two out of three of the albums she asked for.

Since I base my personal philosophy on the teachings of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, I figure my role as a parent has been fulfilled. :)

[SlavesandBulldozers]

110. proving once again bad taste is a hallmark of these dumb bastards

nt

[Divine Discontent]

114. um... bush probably loves the artists performing

"The thing about Ozzy is, he's made a lot of big hit recordings: Party With the Animals, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Face in Hell, Black Skies and Bloodbath in Paradise, Ozzy, Mom loves your stuff." President Bush, May 4, 2002 at a White House Ball where he made Ozzy Osbourne a guest of honor. And yet, those right-wing Christians just EAT up the Bush's! So many Christians are wacks, we're not perfect beings to begin with, but so many of the group who profess what I do, are seriously, wacked. Bush being one of them.

[coloradodem2005]

122. And yet Ozzy when performing with Black Sabbath last year...

...sang "War Pigs" with portraits of Bush in the background. Maybe even a comparison to Hitler.

[Vektor]

115. Too bad they caught on...

I was hoping that he would sing that song. It would have been hysterical.

[Califooyah Operative]

116. kid rock is a slap in the face of anybody decent.

i could care less that they're offended by him.

[bklyncowgirl]

117. HI hope a flag draped Kid Rock grabs his crotch at the inauguration.

Just like he did repeatedly at the Super Bowl last year, a spectacle I found far more obnoxious than Janet Jacksons hooplawed booby baring.

I may just tune in for that part of the inauguration.

I love the smell of Right Wing hypocricy in the morning.

[Must_B_Free]

119. KID ROCK = FLAG DESECRATOR

[saltpoint]

123. If Kid Rock is bumped from the show --

-- maybe they can get The Fuggs.

[baby_mouse]

124. hee hee hee n/t
