Liberals and progressives being upset over country music star Jason Aldean's latest song and wanting it to be taken off the airwaves seems to have backfired since "Try That In A Small Town" has reached number one on iTunes.
The controversy started after liberals on social media accused Aldean's song of being racist for speaking out against riots and general lawlessness, despite the fact race is not mentioned.
"Try That In A Small Town" also features lyrics that have a warning about gun confiscation:
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough
Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that sh*t might fly in the city, good luck
Starting on Wednesday and into Thursday, the song has reached the top spot on iTunes, beating out "Seven (Summer Mix)" and "Fast Car," the country cover performed by Luke Combs.

"In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous," Aldean tweeted. "There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far."
"'Try That In A Small Town,' for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences," he added.
Here’s a black dude on Youtube who isn’t buying the lies.

CMT exposed their left nut in doing so.
I watched part of the CMT Summer Festival last night. Some nice performances but a lot of sloppily dressed, sloppy looking performers.
Monsterous amount of lighting flashing around on the stage and all over the stadium.
CMA Musicfest. Recorded a month ago. See my post above.
Nice to see that guy’s perspective.
Yeah - The Liberals hear those lines and automatically assume he is talking about a certain race BECAUSE the Liberals are the racists!!! It is like their soft-racism in support of Affirmative Action because Liberals believe that a certain race is inferior to them and thus need an extra hand to compete in academia and the workforce.
I went over to YouTube and I’m seeing a BUNCH of reaction videos from black guys about this, with all of them going “WHAT racism? Ain’t no racism here”

Because the godless communist left is for these things.
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
This entire kerfuffle, from the ground up, just like Jason Aldean and the rest of Nashville, was created in the marketing department. 100%
Jason Isbell, and other artists commenting, and CMT pulling the vid, are all just playing their WWF roles for the fans.
