No controversy though over Bob Dylan saying that black people can spot which white Americans have Klan blood in them.

There once was a horde of Croats
All dressed in checkerboard red white coats
They sued our Bobby
For smoking a dobie
Then went back to humping goats.

I wonder if he misses that whole US Constitution first amendment “thingy”.

Hope he enjoys his hopey changy.

Maybe he can play a couple free concerts in Split and Dubrovnik as penance.

I’d book a WEasley Clarke memories cruise for that.

They are both Christian although the Croatians are predominantly Catholic and Serbians Orthodox. It’s the Bosnians who are predominately Muslim.

Well, Ol’ Bob gets one right. And I’m not saying that just because I’m a Serb.

And Croats are historically Catholic, not Muslim.

Clinton bombs the Christians to support the Muslims and the media had to give a new name to Christians so the headline America bombing Christians would not show.I think the serbs are the Christians.

Wiki lists Croatia as 80+ percent Catholic and Serbia as 80+ percent Orthodox Christian. Muslims are about 3% in each.

Oh well, Dylan has had his “Neighbourhood Bully” on youtube a number of times. Each time, youtube has purged it.

The imperative of the left will always be “Kill the jews”.
