I agree. It was a slap at war criminal Bush who no doubt would have earned the Nobel War prize if there was one. It doesn`t say much for the Nobel prize when it`s awarded simply because they think you won`t lie your country into war like your predecessor.

Yes his music is great. I have his albums from the days of vinyl. The problem is that he won't **** and play his music. He opened for Lynyrd Skynyrd at Lakewood last time I saw him and he spend half his set time cussing at Bill Clinton, Janet Reno and Jesse Jackson. He dropped the F bomb at least 6 times and the B word a few times too. I didn't pay to hear political speeches. I don't want to hear it from the Dixie Chicks either. I have avoided going to see him since. Last year I skipped REO and Styx because he was with them.

I see it as no difference with the "rebel" flag. The KKK decided to "highjack" IT. Now it stands as a symbol of hatred to many.

Let me get this right. Conservatives are upset that liberals are "co-opting" a flag that Tea Partiers "co-opted" themselves?

Weird.

As an American, the fact that you think The Tea Party owns "dont tread on me " is sickening. Also Jericho fans had it first, just saying.

This is a hoot and very predictable. The desperation is strong in the O-Team.

Gadsden Flag: Too Racist for Government Buildings, But Just Right for Obamacare Propaganda!

So far since Obama was elected, his administration has labeled the Gadsden Flag as "terrorist or criminal", "racist", "offensive" and now an advertisement for ObamaCare. There is no way you could make up this lunacy.

In 2009, Homeland Security put out a report that listed Gadsden Flag owners as possible threats to safety - today they will use it as pro-ObamaCare propaganda.

That illiterate mob did real well against the sophisticated and well trained Brits and their erudite intellectual masters.

Hard to believe a liberal dem would look down their nose at someone whose physical appearance and level of education was less than theirs.

It was the flag of rebellion against the United States of America over the continuation of slavery. It was already a symbol of hatred.
