Exactly!! Roger Freidman is a huge suck up to all the celebrity leftists. Some of you are right though Maines is a favorite punching bag for the right, she is a short stumpy chick with a loud mouth, big attitude and liberal politics, that is a pretty lethal combination and makes her a real easy target!!

Keith has given a lot of himself to entertain the troops and I commend him for that but he's not the kick a** and take no prisoners yahoo many portray him to be. From an AP interview:

AP: People view you as being very outspoken. What do you think is the biggest misconception about you?


Keith: I supported the ousting of the Taliban (in Afghanistan) 100 percent. My 9/11 song ("Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue") was all about that. But the far left won't allow that to be. They have to plug me into every pro-war thing they can find. I'm not a political person (Keith describes himself as a lifelong Democrat more interested in "right or wrong" than "left or right"). I get painted that way. I never said I support the Iraq war, but I never said I didn't either.


AP: Do you support the war?


Keith: That war has been over since 48 hours after it started. Our military disarmed them in two days. The dictator has been ousted. They (Iraq) need to step up with their oil money and fund it on their own. I don't say we shouldn't be in there. I say we should be there and step back and let them have their own fight. The U.S. should stand back and make sure the Syrians and the Iranians and the Saudi Arabians don't get involved and allow it to unfold.

Lol, and all this time I wondered if it was possible people were right that he was just another yeehaw God and country kick ass and kill muslims whacko.

Sounds like he's got a pretty decent perspective. I still think his music sucks, but a lot of people buy it, more power to him.
