Geez Dan -- I've seen you posting at FR for a while now. I think you'd recognize "indecency" if you saw it.

"Indecency" is 100% subjective (FCC). It's different than "obscenity".

The GOP "Big Tent" has been fairly open and tolerant of pro-"choice" Pubbies AND RINOs; And it's the "Country Club" Republicans who are THE "moderates" of the party.

Most often true, but I was mentioning the 'image' that many have of the GOP.

it's rather the question of propriety of such a performer at a venue like THE WHITE HOUSE.

Inviting and disinviting after the Don Wildmons had a fit isn't right. Either he shouldn't have been invited in the first place, or should still be there if he agrees to perform an appropiate song. ("I am" for example is clean)

Do you really believe young people in this country are basing their future vote on whether Kid Rock performs at the Presidential Inaugural?

No, but it reinforces the image problems that are tough to break.

It's a stretch to believe the Don Wildmons of the GOP were the sole arbiters of whether KR performed.

It's possible the WH didn't think a whole lot about it until they were "informed" on KR's background, and then reassessed their choce.Btw, the so-called "image problem" is a matter of perspective. "Populism" is overrated.

Because our parents didn't much like our music didn't mean we didn't respect their judgement. THAT'S what leadership is all about. And the GOP.
