Sheryl Crow Bashes Sarah Palin: 'Someone Unplug Her Microphone!"
Newsbusters.org ^ | Alana Goodman

Posted on 08/18/2010 7:08:40 PM PDT by Justaham

Pop-singer Sheryl Crow has always been outspoken about her own political views, but now she's telling former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to zip it. "I saw you ranting on TV today, I heard you tell me to reload. You got a lot of nerve to talk that way, someone unplug the microphone," sings Crow in her new anthem, "Say What You Want," which was released in late July.

The angsty, politically-charged song makes plenty of references to "kool-aid drinking," "talking heads" and, of course, "ignorance."

"I'm tired of all the fighting, cynicism and back biting. Can't even hear myself think, you pour the kool-aid and then we drink," sings Crow of Palin.

The Grammy Award-winning songstress makes it clear what she thinks of conservative views, crooning sarcastically that "Ignorance is patriotic, reasons are so idiotic."

Crow also made an emotional appeal to the young and impressionable, urging them to steer clear of the "hatred" that has apparently been manufactured by "talking heads" and their "hate campaigns."

"All you little ones with open hearts, don't let hatred tear your world apart. And if you wonder who is wrong and who is right, better go ask God to shine some light," she sings.

Crow defended the song in an interview with The Sunday Times, saying that "[T]he morning that Sarah Palin came out and said 'reload', there was no way I wasn't going to write about that."

So in a song called Say What You Want she is saying Sarah Palin should not be allowed to say what she wants.

“Can’t even hear myself think...”

Crow can think?

Just shut up and sing, bitch. And take your square of toilet paper and stick it where the sun don't shine.

Somehow, I don’t think anything Sheryl has to say impacts anyone. However, when Sarah Palin speaks.........

I remember seeing Crow on Overhaulin’ where Chip Foose did up a GTO she’d bought for then b/f Lance Armstrong. Muscle cars for her, one piece of toilet paper for you. Now it’s apparent she only supports freedom of speech for those who share her opinion. She’s a complete fraud but I’m sure she’d tell you how open-minded and tolerant she was.

A singer telling someone to stop expressing themselves—ROCK N ROLL!

If I knew who Cheryl Crow was, I’d refuse to every buy any more of her records, even though I’ve never bought any to begin with. So, does that even make any sense? Well, maybe not. But I’m sure you understand the sentiment!

Anyone who promotes bad hygiene is someone that should not be listened to or respected ! Even if she promotes wiping correctly as in using more than one or two squares, she already lost my respect !
