10 Musicians Who Should Be Blacklisted By Conservatives

[Kaslin]

Republicans spend too much time complaining about liberals boycotting the advertisers on conservatives

[Tupelo]

Damn Hawkins. I have been “boycotting” these folks for years and didn’t even know it.

Dixie Chicks???
I haven’t heard those two words together in at least 5 years.

[JaguarXKE]

"Damn. I was already boycotting them because they suck."

Ditto

[IronJack]

It’s going to take more than passive boycotts to restore the balance. We’re going to have to get in the streets at these slimebags’ concerts and protest them the same way they protest anything they don’t like. And when they show up on Oprah and badmouth us, we have to have our people in the audience to loudly denounce them.

Boycott by all means. But don’t stop there. One small thing you can do? If you see a flyer for an anti-American company like JCPenney or Levi, quietly remove it and throw it in the trash.

Oh, and if you’re at a bookstore or magazine rack that features one of these plastic buffoons, remove the magazine and put it back backwards and upside down. The average liberal will never be able to figure out how to fix it.

[old and tired]

I didn't bother to read the quotes but I did read the names in red. If I recognize them it's not because I have any interest in them nor have I ever consumed their product. It's because they made the home page of a website I visit. I might listen to Barbra Streisand sing on the radio because my wife likes her voice, but it's not like we'd go see one of her movies. Or buy one of her albums. Or God forbid, go see her in concert.

We can't boycott what we'd never consume in the first place.

All of my favorites are already dead.

[SampleMan]

Way ahead of the curve on all 10.

[freeangel]

That was easy! None of them are even on my top 2,000 list.

[A_perfect_lady]

It’s a pity about Bruce, but I don’t listen to much music anyway.

[xzins]

There is a single one of the 10 that isn’t on the downside or the far downside of their careers. All a blacklist would do is give them publicity and enable them to spew their ignorance to a bit of a wider audience.

[stuartcr]

What, no reggae?

[Colonel_Flagg]

And when they show up on Oprah and badmouth us, we have to have our people in the audience to loudly denounce them.

It's about message management. Lefties have mastered this, primarily because they also control, in the main, the methods of message distribution. That means we go guerilla in our approach.

What you suggest is the way to go. Get in their faces and make them discredit themselves. Hate is the only card a liberal can play with any degree of consistency. Keep pushing them until they play it, and then defeat them in the debate.

[mardi59]

All of these idiots bite the hands that have been feeding their bloated butts for years. Since they believe only liberals have been buying their CDs for years I say let it be so. I can honestly say I have not bought, listened to or watched anything these people have done for years and years.

I don’t waste my money on people who slap me in the face and then hold out their hand for my money. These jerks are morally and ethically bankrupt and not worth my time.

[NotYourAverageDhimmi]

“I never heard of Greenday”

American Idiot?

[DJ Frisat]

Refusing to listen to any of these is a no-brainer for me. I don’t really care for any of them.

However, I think the prize goes to Springsteen for his astonishingly-wrong list of statements. This borders on ignorance and delusion.

[Kaslin]

The article is about musicians, not the genre

[stuartcr]

ok...what, no reggae musicians?

[Vaquero]

Musicians are Jerks....

here is an interesting quote:

“If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we’re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.” - Alice Cooper

If I were to boycott all the musicians I liked, there would be very little left.

I try to not listen to the worst of them.

I like listening to Willie, and the Beatles and Stones....all of them lean much more to the left than I like.....

So I made a deal with myself....
I listen to the non-political music of the aforementioned artists...
and I listen to the politics of a ‘Ted Nugent’ who I agree with politically but am not crazy about their music.

[Bon mots]

If you need to have their music, just use BitTorrent to get it for free and they don't get a cent.

It's easy.
How to download using Bit Torrent:
1.) Install Bit Torrent
2.) Install an IP Address hider so you don't attract unwanted attention.
    Relakks (€50.00 per year and protected by Swedish privacy laws.) 1^st choice
    Hide-IP-Soft.com
    Proxifier
3.) Or just install Azarues which has this built-in.

The Department of Homeland Security actually closed down their dot-com site as you can see here:

Same here

Sheryl Crowe has a point.

Yes, a very good one. With respect to her statement, the first thing I thought of was Global Warming^®
