We can quibble all we want about this show, but I think we can all agree that the Creed performance at the Oklahoma City Bombing Anniversary Concert was one of the greatest events in US history.
Basso, perhaps if you could take some xanax and stop trying to rewwrite the history of the Vietnam War, obsessing with Jane Fonda or whatever, you could think clearly about 9/11. the Iraq War and combatting terrorism. The Vietnam War is over. Get over it. Sometimes I think that your support for the invasion of Iraq is to try to prove somehow in your mind that we really could have won in Vietnam.
No, but ClearChannel will preempt all programming to broadcast it and the Bush gang will parade a steady stream of speakers to praise Bush-Rummy. This is starting to seem like a Banana Republic or possibly Fidel Castro style event.
I actually thank you for this, as it is an example of a concert that wasn't a benifit, that commeorated a horible event. My previous comments were wrong. In my gut I still feel it's a bad idea but my mind accepts the event as acceptable. See, basso, I'm now actually retracting my statements. I just needed some evidence. I was never ideologically wedded to any position, only drawing conclusions from evidence. I honestly don't understand how you could be so offended, unless you have an irrational hatred of research with too small a sample size. Do you at least understand that my statements in the first place were about the appearance that the concert would present, and not about the events that the concert are commemorating? Are you familiar with Operation Northwoods which got as far as Joint Chiefs approval? When you become offended at questioning something our government says, be it liberal or democrat or something entirely else, is the minute that you open yourself to being manipulated. As an example, read my second response post in this thread where I debunk an assertation that a no vote by Republicans on protecting our troops is little more than a scam to create "evidence" that Republicans don't care about our troops. I'm sure I was right then, and I never got beyond the initial question asking phase in this instance. There should be no question which is too sacred to ask. Ever. I once knew someone, BTW, who worked a block from the Murrow site and I saw up close and personal photos she took. They were amazingly horiffic.
