"Did you guys catch that? I like the song, but thought that the context was demeaning considering the "theme" of the pregame is a salute to veterans and serving members of the armed forces. That song has a meaning them and now. And with the purposeful ending over and over. What a jerk!"

"I was thinking the same thing as I watched it. Then I just chalked it up to the people in charge of programming. It was probably done purposely, IMO."

1. Leave it to the trailer-trash freepers to defend the fortunate.

Way to go, idiots!

2. Fortunate Son Is Not As Much Anti-War As It Is Anti Silver-Spoon

eom

4. Exactly...

And Smirkie McCokehead is the ultimate Silver Spoon brat.

6. LOL!

Absolutely!

5. That's right, and it was really a dig at

those who got out of Vietnam by using their family name and money (Bush anyone?) or even middle-class connections, leaving the not-so-"fortunate ones" to do the hard, dirty work of fighting in Vietnam. I consider it actually to be a tribute to those who had to endure Vietnam and a slap at those who used their money and connections to get out of it.

7. My favorite lines are

(and I'm paraphrasing here since I don't have the exact wording):

Some folks go around, silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they love to help themselves
But when the tax man come to do the job,
Lord the house looks like a rummage sale

It ain't me, It ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son
It ain't me, It ain't me
I ain't no Fortunate One

And when the man comes to do the job,
Ooo, they'll send you off to war
And when you ask them how much should you give
Oooo, the answer is always more, more, more!

It ain't me, It ain't me
I ain't no Senator's son
It ain't me, It ain't me
I ain't no Fortune One

In other words, they have no problem taking and taking what they fell they're entitled to just by virtue of being born with silver spoons and platters in their mouths, but let the little guy "take" all of the actual burdens of society, like fighting in wars, little things like that.

3. What IDIOTS! They have NO

FUCKING CLUE that Faux News is owned lock, stock and barrel by an extreme right-wing Bushbot, Rupert Murdoch, who's made sure his news network is the right's propaganda machine. Everything has to be vetted by the brass at Faux to be sure it's in line with the RW propaganda spin Murdoch insists on; far too many ex-Faux employees have come out and detailed that process. To watch Faux is to watch master propaganda in action, it's almost fascinating in a sick kind of way. Fair and balanced, my sweet Irish ass.

What was it Ted Turner said about Faux? That if Joseph Goebbels had had a propaganda TV news network, it would have been Faux News? Say what you will about Turner, he was absolutely correct in that statement. Of course, CNN has turned into a mouthpiece of the right as well, but that's another thread.

8. Yes, But CNN Is Goebbels 2.0 Version. More Subtle & Insidious.

[NNadir]

9. The super bowl is probably one of the few things I've ever seen on Fox.

For a "family values" bunch, they sure seem to advertise some pretty trashy shows.

Where are their shows about Jesus?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. You Nailed It...

And don't forget the movies FOX puts out...

It's all about the dollar...

[MarianJack]

11. They Borrow the Goebbles Philosophy!

The best propaganda is entertainment.

Get them in to watch the trash like "Temptation Island", "The Next Joe Millionaire" and other crap like it, then give them the pure far right indoctrination!
