No kidding. The Vets in that hall could have torn the band member to pieces, but they are much too honorable for that.
“It was directed to George Clinton. There was no last name, it was to George, the leader of the band.”
I ain’t buying it.
It’s been interesting throughout today to see stories cropping up about all the problems that arose throughout the inaugural festivities. Apparently it wasn’t all sweetness and light as portrayed in the MSM. (tho it wasn’t half the nightmare some of us feared would happen, either)
I also doubt too many veterans want to hear funk music.
Nothing I hear of like this is even surprising at all now. Just wait until people start walking out of the military altogether. I know two men, and know of one, who are leaving. All of them served in Iraq, one volunteered for it, and Kosovo. Barry may not care but it still won’t look good.
They should have said “F*ck you too” and then walk out.
Yes, that showed a complete lack of class alright. Here these men have served under Bush only to have him disrespected in this manner.
I don’t care if they were talking about their leader, they should have realized that nobody in the audience would know it. They were careless, rude, crass, and devoid of any class.
I respect the men of the armed services who picked up and walked out. Good for them.
Who chose these jerks to perform? And one they are chosen, doesn’t anyone give them some guidelines about what it acceptable or not? And aren’t they told that if they break the rules of the contract they won’t get paid?
There’s no excuse for the language or the mixup. It just shouldn’t have happened at all.
In other important news. No arrests were made on the mall yesterday. A crowd estimated as high as two million predominately African Americans had a wonderful peaceful time. The drive by media proved today just how racist they are in reporting this fact. It seems they expected to report a large number of problems due to the racial mix of the crowd. Racist Racist Racist.

“one fellow band member seemed to notice people walking out and quickly ripped the sign down”
I am glad the reporter at least included this.
bump
Oh yeah! Mission Accomplished.
Yeah, that's it. Yeah. We were talkin' about George Clinton. Yeah.
“George’s guys always have always had a thing about the four-letter-word,” said band spokesman Sandy Friedman. “It was directed to George Clinton. There was no last name, it was to George, the leader of the band.
Really? Do you think we are stupid like the Kool-Aid drinkers?

A George Clinton & P Funk show is by definition going to be a exciting, mind expanding evening of music where the journey is as important as the destination. About 45 minutes into the set I saw George make an appearance on the side of the stage. Slowing bobbing his head and moving from side to side, he was getting into the feel of the groove. About 30 minutes after George took the stage a banner was unveiled behind him that read “Funk George Bush” which drew more than a few smiles out of the crowd.
Try that explanation again, band spokesman.
“.....interpreting it as a jab at the outgoing commander-in-chief, George W. Bush..”
Interpreting? Just what is the writer trying to say? It was a misinterpretation?
The same first name .. how convenient!!
Ignorance knows no bounds anymore.
Scum.
"It's not signed 'George'... It's dedicated to George. King George."
What a Class Ass
so no F*** clinton sign ...just F*** george...
riiiighhhhtttt
