It’s getting harder and harder to escape liberals. Now we have to hear this from Tony Bennett.
I have liberals in my family, and it causes tension. Recently someone in the extended family told me she watched one of obama’s speeches and agreed with EVERYTHING he said.
Perhaps after being informed by his agent that his comments might lead many to NOT buy his albums or see him in concert, he has rolled out am “I’m sorry if people mis-interpreted what I said” type of statement (kinda), acknowledging that terrorism
is bad and so is war (hello? If you hate war, admit that they did an unprovoked attack on us)
His facebook is full of comments, many of which are fans who support him. Some say screw you and/or “freedom of speech means others have the freedom of speech to disagree with
you” (as the Dixie Chicks found out)
This morning it was reported that Tony issued a written statement apologizing (sort of) for his comments. Too damned little, too damned late Tony, you liberal cretin.
