Even Toby Keith is questioning the "war"
"Look, my stance is I pick and choose my wars. This war here , the math hasn't worked out for me on it. But I'm smart enough to know there's people smarter than me. Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, George Bush — this is their job, and I have to trust in them. I support the commander in chief and the troops."

Keith took a long pause to consider his words, and then added: "I was for Afghanistan, 100%. We got struck and the Taliban needed to be exterminated, but this war here, in Iraq, I didn't necessarily have it all worked out. It didn't work out for me. I know a tyrant is gone and all of that, but whether it was our duty to go do that, well, I haven't figured that out."

6. No shit! FUTK.
Fucking moran. You are just as responsible for the deaths in Iraq as the morans in Washingtoon. You helped them sell this war.

BTW, Dixie Chicks rock my world.

5. While it is nice that Toby is thinking this through
a few months ago he would have labeled those exact same thoughts "Unpatriotic".

9. if that thickhead is having doubts...
Can Middle Amerika be far behind? He is at least giving the recent events more thought than Charlie Daniels.

TK still sucks though, just for saying Bush is "smarter" than him, lol. His music sucks too, but that is for another day.

39. Well, if he thinks bush is smarter than he is, I wonder
how deep a hole you have to look down into - to find his IQ number? Day late, dollar short, Toby. I'm with Natalie Maines - FUTK.

How could we let him know?

Edited on Wed Aug-27-03 02:55 PM by GainesT1958
A lot better when you slammed the Dixie Chicks so crudely and so often on your earlier tour stops!:mad:

As a fellow DUer said of one of our presidential candidates earlier this summer:

"Buyer's Remorse", anyone? :eyes:

24. Hey, TK:
"We'll put a boot up their ass, it's the American way."

Sound familiar, you stupid fuck? Remember ripping off the basic structure of Don McLean's "American Pie" and inserting lyrics that would have embarassed a six-year-old? Remember when you said Steve Earle and the Dixie Chicks were no-good America haters and you were a REAL patriot? Now it sounds like you're choking on something there, macho-man; your own, hateful words perhaps?

Should have quit while you were ahead, Toby; appearing in TV commericals with "ALF" generally indicate your fifteen minutes have long since passed.

"Mr Keith, Clue Phone. Clue Phone for Mr. Keith. Mr. Keith, please pick up the Clue Phone."

Welcome to the party, Toby. As you can see, most of us have been here for a while, but glad you could make it. Great timing with the whole "why are we there" questions too!

So, when does TK's picture go up on a screen with Saddam's at Brooks and Dunn concerts?

No argument from me. But it's great news that some of the loudmouth morons are starting to "get it" about the war. We can't win in 2004 unless at least some dumbasses vote our way - there are just too damn many of them.

38. This is what I wrote to clearchannel.
In light of the un-patriotic statements that Toby keith said recently. I was wondering when will you be releasing a schedule of Clear-Channel-sponsored Toby CD burnings ?

" Keith took a long pause to consider his words, and then added: "I was for Afghanistan, 100%. We got struck and the Taliban needed to be exterminated, but this war here, in Iraq, I didn't necessarily have it all worked out. It didn't work out for me. I know a tyrant is gone and all of that, but whether it was our duty to go do that, well, I haven't figured that out."

Mr. Keith, Clearchannel and all of the other right wing gum flaps are responsible for each and every death that comes out of Iraq. You assholes have blood on your hands. I'll be looking down at you when you are roastng in hell.


Mwahahahaha!!!!

46. "But I'm smart enough to know there's people smarter than me. "
I get physically ill when I hear conservatives say this. Of course, when there's a Republican in office, he's smarter than everyone (even when it's an illiterate such as Bush).

Let's hear them say that in '04 when a Democrat is in the White House.

50. I wonder...
Since he's not so sure he supports the war in Iraq, and since his personal coffers have been fattened up as a result of promoting said war, when can the Red Crescent expext to see a nice check from him. I'm sure they could put it to good use helping those who have been so horrendously affected by this war.

than for 100 righteous people (or sumthin like that)

Maybe Willie is rubbing off on him. If he apologizes to Nalie Maines, I'll forgive him.
