Katy Perry transforms herself into a U.S. Marine in her latest power-pop single, "Part of Me," which addresses female empowerment and pays particular tribute to service women.
However, at least one media type doesn't support Perry's Marines shout-out.
Prominent feminist Naomi Wolf, author of "The Beauty Myth" and one of many who were arrested amid the Occupy Wall Street protests last year, is urging Americans to boycott the singer, labeling her video "a total piece of propaganda for the Marines."

Ah yes, IIRC it was Naomi Wolf that dressed Al Gore in earth tones, and made him up to look like Ronald Regan in his first debate with Dubya.

Hey Naomi, you are yesterday's news.
Instead of flailing about for attention, how about just minding your own business.
No one cares about your vapid thoughts.
Thank you.

So, do we get to boycott Woody Gutherie, Joan Baez, Peter Paul & Mary, Lena Horne, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, et al for being “a total piece of propaganda for the Communists”?
To: Houmatt
I was hoping to see pix of Katy Perry on this thread.
Somebody needs to remedy that.
To: Houmatt
I liked it!
Makes me proud to be an American.

And here I thought the liberals just loved the military nowadays, since the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. That policy was the big objection liberals had to the military.
So now it turns out they dislike the military anyway. Okay...............
To: Houmatt
Hard to trust when she was seen with X at OWS sites. It sure seems like the libs are trying hard to co-opt the military. I mean, what’s with Michelle’s “support military families” agenda? Bothers me. They’re so disingenuous.

Gorgeous girly girl with a horrid taste in men.Just a so-so voice, but expecting her to also sing like Emmylou Harris would be asking too much.
To: Houmatt
Naomi Wolf? Who the hell cares what this irrelevant Lib hack has to say about anything. Her last moment of glory was 12 years ago dressing Algore in earth tones to be more chick friendly. Boy, that worked like a charm. I'll take Perry any day over her.
