They say, lets find someone who will agree with us and interview him! Yeah, that's the ticket. Why waste time talking to people who have opposing points of view when we can just call the all crazy. Isn't that how the "establishment" looked upon the peaceniks in the 60's? And now folks, we have come full circle...the crazies are running the madhouse! So the media has set a new standard…or hit a new low.

Was it one of you guys playing a prank? Come on, 'fess up. Whoever it was, go back and explain to him that his job, as an entertainer, is to entertain. Not entertain necessarily me, but, uh, somebody. He, and will.i.am, and Madonna, and Kanye West, and Charlie Sheen, and Ashton Kuchner and all the rest of those no-load idiots can stuff their opinions back where they got them. There are lots of people a lot smarter than they whose opinions I disregard. Okay, who told Matthews that I cared what he thought or said about anything? Was it one of you guys playing a prank?

You know, just a few years ago, I heard that DISSENT was the highest form of Patriotism...guess that only applies when a non-Dem is in the Big House. What a buffoon. Oh, and kudos on the blog...from a fellow North Carolinian. Found it through M/M and am quite glad I did. Dave who? lol

If Americans are so racist, then why did the majority of them vote for Obama? That's like accusing Elie Wiesel of being anti-semetic! What a jackass! And what--because he's half-black, we're not allowed to criticize his political agendas? We're all supposed to just shut up and let him kill babies and set terrorists free? I am so sick of these jackasses playing the race card! Here’s somethign the extremely intelligent Dave matthews and Juimmy carter hadn’t thought of:
