Hello repugs and freepers. It must hurt to know that the Dixie Chicks, ..

[Botany]

..... France, and the U.N. were right and bush was dead fucking wrong on
Iraq.

Dixie Chicks ....... He makes me ashamed of being from Texas.

France ......... Any war in Iraq will make the situation worse and destabilize
the Mid East.

U.N. ........ Give the weapons inspectors time; So far NO WMDs have turned up.

It is simple to be simple. Put down the Kool Aid and detox for a while then
try to learn that the world is more complex and things are not just black or
white.

:bounce:

1. ... and as usual, Jello Biafra called it 15 years in advance

Bedtime for Democracy says it all.

[pocket]

3. Jello beats the hell out of the Dixie Chicks

as far as that noise they make, too

[gatorboy]

6. Funny you should mention Biafra.

The guy that introduced me to the Dead Kennedy's in school has become a die-hard republican. A strange, strange world.

He doing anymore Lard albums (Biafra...Not the republican)?

[wli]

9. NFI... I just remember "I've never been so ashamed to be an American"

and similar lines off of various songs in Bedtime for Democracy.

He was saying it about the Latin American death squads of course, but you get the idea.

I have no idea what he's done since 1986 or thereabouts.

[gatorboy]

11. Ironically

I heard that the band members for DK were suing each other over royalties. :P

In case you're wondering. LARD is a side group made up of Biafra and the band Ministry. They're actually quite good together!

[wli]

12. That sounds very interesting. I like Ministry, too.

Thanks for cluing me in; this is something I'd have been very, very interested in if I'd only heard of it.

[MsTryska]

13. Hell....Latin American Death Squads you say?

so basically - same shit, same people, different decade, yeah?


I never did get into the DKs, but maybe it's time.

[wli]

14. It goes back to before we can figure it out it's going on

Smedley Butler was complaining about this stuff going on in 1909 and so on, and people think 1898 is an instance of it, too, and we're looking at over a century of it, not just "over a decade."

Most people oddly limit their attempts to trace the history of it to immediately after WWII.

[MsTryska]

15. Oh i thought he was speaking specifically about

Iran-Contra and Negroponte et al..

[wli]

17. he was, I was just rambling n/t

[tomg]

18. Jello Biafra is hosting the Operation Ceasefire

Concert in Washington on September 24th. http://www.opceasefire.org/

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. Don't forget Michael Moore. They hate him.

They hate his freedom to be right.

[Botany]

5. Funny though "they" manged to get people talking about .....

..... Michael Moore and not about F 9-11. Just like they want to
get people talking about Cindy Sheenan and not her message.

Wrong as the are they do know how to manipulate the message.

[Fire Walk With Me]

7. Clearly detailing that they have nothing to say.

Noisemakers and dittoheads rarely do. Their only pride is in being loud and saying nothing.

[Botany]

10. Only Keith Obermamn (in MSM) has picked up on the fact

the anti Cindy demonstrators are just republican operatives. I could
swear that I heard some are from Move America Forward ......
Nathan Sproul's vote rigging front group that acted like they were
America Coming Together.

attack and distract ...... Rove Rules

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. Yep, cowards. They have no truth of their own and can only destroy.

[RobertSeattle]

4. Good Luck!

But getting Right Wingers to admit when they are WRONG is quite a chore. All they do is lash out instead of admit error.

[ChowChowChow]

8. Good post!

[Cha]

16. And DUers..most of them!

Yeah, we were all right because it was WRONG what they did..anybody with a moral compass could see that.
