"I am very concerned about the rampant vitriol, fear-mongering and bullying coming from the current Republican campaigns. It is both isolationist and spiteful."
Seriously Joe? You are concerned about vitriol?
The only vitriol I see is coming from the left .
All conservatives are racists and bigots,anti-women.Rap songs about killing Trump ,which with who Walsh had no problem with appearing at the same event.
Not to mention the nasty protest signs and bomb threats at Trump rallies
This has become reverse McCarthyism.
The only thing is many in Hollywood really 'were' communists.
Doesn't Joe Walsh know that Glenn Frey isn't going to yell at him if he didn't cancel?
And why does he need to be PC ? Hasn't Life Been Good To Him So Far?
The only vitriol I see is coming from the left .
ReplyDeleteSeriously Lisa?
I'll leave it at that.
:P
DeleteYes seriously .They are a nasty bunch
DeleteNasty is as Nasty does Lisa.
DeleteOne gets the feeling that you're not a fan of the insaneand untalented Rap "Singers" of the day!
ReplyDeleteWell neither am I.
I can't stand those stupid gangsta hand movenents they do when they rap.
DeleteRap sucks. It is not music. First, there is a beat. It is not even a beat played on drums by a musician. It is a programmed drum machine. Next, they add sampled songs, tunes, noises, and whatever. They did not create these. They recorded it and then dub it over their fabricated beat. Next, some dumb un-talented black guy starts talking about weed, or Cops, and booty while another dumbass un-talented black guy is in the background saying sheet like "yo", "YAY!", "yeeeaaaaassshhhhh", "dat's right", "check it out, or whatever...It may have been cute back when Run DMC was doing it. But now, Jam Master Jay is dead you all look like a bunch of dumb, ignorant un-talented black guys standing on the street corner, getting high.
ReplyDeleteAll these dudes do is annoy people
I don't know. It has its' moments...
DeleteFirst, there is a beat.
DeleteReally? Who knew?

10 Things Conservatives Don’t Want You To Know About Ronald Reagan

Two, Four, Six, Eight!
DeleteWhat makes Leftists denigrate?
Eight, Six, Four, Two!
That is all they ever do.
Sneer, Jeer, always Frown,
All they do is run things down.
Where's the good in that?
It's worse than shitting in your hat!

Nobody wants to copy and paste your stupid links
DeleteOh dear, poor Freethinke has to denigrate This One for pointing out that his hero, St. Ronnie Raygun, had feet of clay.
DeleteNo, Canardo, I'm merely expressing disdain for ANYONE who dwells excessively, exclusively and incessantly on negativity while ignoring any trace of virtue in those he dislikes or disapproves of politically. Unfortunately, every time I begin to believe you and I might develop a cordial, mutually respectful relationship, you return to your tired old rancorous rhetoric.
DeleteI've believed for years I could like you, if you'd drop your Bitter Old Bitch Act, and admit to being a human being and act accordingly, instead of playing the perpetual pain in the ass.
There is absolutely no point whatsoever in digging up dirt on Ronald Reagan. He's already been dead a long time and is no longer competitive in the political process.
That means he is not relevant to the current race for the White House, so denigratory statements about him are just gratuitous nastiness.
In case you hadn't noticed I've been making a concerted effort to rise above that sort of thing in hope of improving the tine and quality of commentary on this blog.
Sadly the appetite for pointless clamor and waspish hostility seems insatiable in a few who seems to live only to make trouble.
Pookie Toot-Toot's only talent is stinking up conservative blogs by yanking poo from liberal stink sites.
DeleteWho's Glen Frye?
ReplyDeleteYou're kidding right?
DeleteOk Frey
DeletePossibly you meant, Glenn Frey?
DeleteWhatever glad you had one of your typical comments
DeleteWho are you?

ReplyDeleteThe Republican Party’s standard deserves to be hoisted by an honorable and decent man, like Romney or Ryan, elected on the convention floor. It is better to lose with principle than to accept a dangerous deal from a crazy demagogue with orange hsir.

joe walsh sucks. the eagles suck. They're boring. Next...
ReplyDeleteGlen had some talent. He hooked up with the wrong guys.
ReplyDeleteRight his career is so great that he thinks he can be choosy
ReplyDeleteEvery song the Eagles did sounded exactly like the last one they did.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, Glenn Frey seemed a very nice down to earth person....I played in a charity golf tournament in Las Vegas with him about 10 years ago....we drank about ten beers during the round.
ReplyDeleteAnd....?

DeletePack up your troubles, c’mon get happy
ReplyDeleteYa better chase all your cares away
Sing hallelujah, c'mon get happy

The Flying Burrito Brothers (with Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman) invented country-rock while the Eagles cashed in on it.
ReplyDeleteAnd they all stole from Buck Owens.
ReplyDeleteThe Eagles actually stole much from Poco who were one of the true inventors of the California country rock sound (Check out Poco's Deliverin'). The Eagles even stole two members: Randy Meisner and Tim Schmidt. But before Poco, The Eagles and FBB, the Byrds started it all with 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo.' Even Rick Nelson pre-dates most who are credited as inventors of the genre. http://www.rocktownhall.com/blogs/once-and-for-all-country-rock/
ReplyDeleteGram Parsons and Chris Hillman were in the Byrds for that record and were the impetus behind it.
DeletePoco has plenty of great music. As for the Eagles, they got lucky at the time they got signed to Asylum Records. The story behind it was that David Geffen was looking for a label to sign Jackson Browne. Geffen had solicited 4 record companies, with each of them telling him Jackson Browne was the worst singer they ever heard. One of the executives at Atlantic Records told Geffen to form his own company and sign him on, promising Geffen that they would distribute his record company artists. Geffen came across the Eagles and Linda Rondstadt at the time and got them going along with Jackson Browne. A few years later, Geffen sold his profitable company Asylum Records to Atlantic, and they merged it with Elektra Records. The Eagles made their fortune thanks to David Geffen. Don Henley never forgot who brought him fame after he went solo, as he signed onto Geffen Records after he left Asylum Records.
DeleteIf Harriet Tubman has the Rightwingers so upset, maybe they would prefer one of their real heros? LIke Michelle Obama!!!

Here is my position:
I'm more fond of erudition
Than street talk about coition.
These rapsters have IQ,
But I'll tell you, what they do,
Should be flushed right down the loo.
I've never genuflected
For efforts misdirected
That should be disrespected.

Don't belong in the fine Arts,
Nor do turds belong on tarts.
I don't mean to be a snob,
But this parlance of the mob
Off on us BS doth fob.
Acting out may be erotic,
But relating it's neurotic.
Rappin' 'bout it is psychotic.
‘Tis enough to gag a maggot,
Or a jaded aged faggot,
So take its toe and tag it,
Then put it in a drawer
Ask, “What did you live for?”
Then wrap this rapcrap war.
It’s been fun,
But no one won.
I hope it’s done.

ReplyDeleteAll lying in politics is not created equal. I think the ideology Bernie is selling is fanciful, but underlying it is a moral critique of modern capitalism that has merit and deserves to be heard. But Bernie is not being truthful about the costs. What is grating about Hillary is that her prevarications seem so unnecessary and often insult our intelligence. But they are not about existential issues. As for Trump, his lies are industrial size and often contradict each other. But there is no theory behind his lies, except what will advance him, which is why Trump is only scary if he wins. Otherwise, his candidacy will leave no ideas behind. It will just be a reality TV show that got canceled.
This is serious. We’re about to elect all three branches of our government. I wish we had better choices, but given the options, I’d vote for the candidate who is most likely to be a practical unifier and get some things done — and who only tells whoppers about herself, not about my country’s future.
