Carole King Lumps Cap-and-Tax Opponents With 'Birthers'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Watch out, Barbra Streisand! You've got some serious competition in the category of formerly famous woman singers turned loud and illogical liberal lips.

Carole King has proclaimed that people who say that Pres. Obama's cap-and-tax plan is an energy tax are . . . like "birthers."

King made her wacky claim on Willie Geist's "Way Too Early" show this morning.

Just goes to show, the longer you are a DemoLiberal, the more you hang out with other DemoLiberals, the more your brain atrophies.

What a shame - all that talent, and not a lick of sense.

After relocating to Idaho in 1977, King became involved in environmental issues. Since 1990 she has been working with the Alliance for the Wild Rockies and other groups towards passage of the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA). King has testified on Capitol Hill twice on behalf of NREPA: in 1994, and again in 2007.

King is also politically active in the United States Democratic Party. In 2003 she began campaigning for John Kerry, performing in private homes for caucus delegates during the Democratic primaries. On July 29, 2004, she made a short speech and sang at the Democratic National Convention, about two hours before Kerry made his acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination for President. King continued her support of Kerry throughout the general election.

In 2008, King appeared on the March 18th episode of The Colbert Report, touching on her politics once more. She stated that she was supporting Hillary Clinton and mentioned that the choice had nothing to do with gender. She also expressed that she would have no issues if Barack Obama were to win the election. Before the show’s conclusion, she returned to the stage to perform “I Feel the Earth Move.”

If NBC was any kind of honest news organization instead of what they really are: A propaganda machine for Barry/Barack,they would report full disclosure that Carole King went on the road with Barry during the Campaign in Ohio.

She sang some tunes and interjected herself into the fray by urging everyone to vote for her friend.

NBC=Nothing But Crap

Another irrelevant 60’s holdover who thinks she has something valid to say and that people want to hear it.

Nah...

Who could possibly have a problem with that statement. It is perfectly true. Both the Cap-and-tax skeptics and the Birth Control skeptics have studied those issues in depth and have drawn conclusions that should be obvious to a 10 year old. They have taken correct positions on two very important issues. So what's the problem? LOL.
