'BASH BRUCE' ADS DEBUT

[DealMonkey]

Hmmm, I guess you just can't allow anyone to express an anti-Bush sentiment in this highly-charged political world we live in. Yup, you just gotta punish those who speak out until they're too afraid to speak out anymore. I really dislike fascists, did I mention that earlier?

'BASH BRUCE' ADS DEBUT

August 18, 2004 -- STATEN Island cable subscribers will be the first metropolitan area residents to see a new commercial calling for a boycott of Bruce Springsteen's anti-Bush concert tour.

The 30-second spot was produced by Dr. Marilyn O'Grady, an opthalmic surgeon from Long Island who is also an outspoken Conservative Party candidate for the U.S. Senate.

O'Grady's anti-Springsteen commercial made its debut yesterday on Albany cable TV, where it was seen during Fox News Channel programming.

Plans call for the spot to turn up on Fox News on other local cable systems, including Staten Island, where the spot will begin airing sometime next week, according to a spokesman for the O'Grady campaign.

No plans are yet in place for the spot to air in any of the other four boroughs, although that could change if O'Grady can get financial support for buying time on other city cable systems.

In the spot, O'Grady blasts Springsteen for launching an anti-Bush concert tour with 20 other rock stars that will visit 28 cities in October just before Election Day.

O'Grady says in the spot, "Here's my vote: Boycott the Boss. If you don't buy his politics, don't buy his music!"

What a waste of money. Like the conservative rich old men he is reaching for were going to go anyhow.

Meanwhile, Alice Cooper slams anti-Bush rockers

[Hat tip: Charles Johnson]

WINNIPEG ? In the eyes of Alice Cooper, all the rock stars campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry are guilty of one thing: treason. The shock-rock legend, a staunch Republican who attends NBA games in Phoenix with Arizona Senator John McCain, was disgusted when he learned of plans by Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, R.E.M. and other bands to hold a series of concerts aimed at unseating U.S. President George W. Bush.

?To me, that?s treason. I call it treason against rock ?n? roll because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics,? says the 56-year-old Cooper, who begins a 15-city Canadian tour on Aug. 20 in Thunder Bay, Ont.

?When I was a kid and my parents started talking about politics, I?d run to my room and put on the Rolling Stones as loud as I could. So when I see all these rock stars up there talking politics, it makes me sick.

?If you?re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you?re a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we?re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."

Ah yes, I remember Lollapalooza 1992 so fondly. Was quite enjoying myself, Pearl Jam was putting on a great show. Eddie Vedder at some point during the show screeches " If George Bush wins this election I'm leaving this country and never coming back!!!"

Well, Eddie is still here My first exposure to liberal hypocrisy and I didn't even know it until 8 years later! I'm a slow learner I guess.

Treason eh? Count Alice Cooper in as one who wants Emperor Bush.

What ever, that still doesn't make your original post any less ignorant.

Shows how stupid O'grady is---New York is firmly in the Kerry camp--her commercial only shows her mean-spirtness and her fanatical need to lash out.

[Train]

how does an Anti-Springsteen Commercial equate to "suppression of anti-Bush sentiment"

where is Mr Springsteen being "suppressed"?

either your severely misinformed or your intentionally misleading the information in this article, aka Trolling

He called it treason AGAINST ROCK 'N ROLL, not against the country. He didn't endorse Bush at all, nor Kerry, nor anybody. He just thinks rock 'n roll artists need to stay out of politics.

Funny that you say "what an idiot". Here's the last line of Cooper's "elected":

And personally I don't care

Nuance I tell you, it's all about nuance.

Havent you heard? the libs retroactively got rid of the electoral college, so legally, Gore won.

But if Kerry loses the popular vote and wins the electoral this year, the Electoral college will be a true champion of Democracy.

 

[Darkhawk28]

Hey MENSA's, 1992 was Clinton vs. GHWB Bush, not Gore vs. GW Bush. :roll:

This is the same forward-thinking mentality that has kept Alice Cooper vital and relevant over the years :roll:

Is there even any such thing as the "Washington Journal"?

MUHUHAHAHAHAHA!!! You are truly a prize. Were you even born in 1992? Remember that guy you hate, who served two terms and got oral favors from a pudgy intern? Keep up the good work and attention to detail!

As for "facts and sources," try, say, any newspaper published on the planet in early November 1992, or GHWB's memoirs.

Ahem - correct me if I'm wrong, but Gore did in fact win in 1992 (at least in a sense), and it wasn't especially close. His opponent was named J. Danforth Quayle. It might be time to revisit American History 101.
