Free speech for me, but none for thee...

How come these "artists" never protest Weird Al Yankovic for spoofing their pop music?

Can’t he see it’s just a joke?

Jose Feliciano has gotten an apology after accusing a pair of radio producers of trashing the spirit of Christmas by using his popular holiday song, "Feliz Navidad," for a racist musical spoof about undocumented immigrants.

Hey, you know what? I've offended by the plastered illegals who keep killing innocent drivers in my town. The most famous case was where a tanked Mexican in a borrowed pickup missed cornering the truck, jumped a barrier and mowed down a mother and daughter walking into a ballet school, killing them both. But that wasn't even the most recent accident. A majority of the time, if there's an arrest for drunk driving, especially for hit-and-run, it's an illegal.

Most people don't have armored limos, so you might have trouble understanding what they go through, Jose. The parody is not particularly hateful. It's a standard-style parody, very funny, and very truthful.

Jose is still around? Didn’t he die in the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly and Big Bopper?

The parody is f-ing brilliant! Why? Because it rings true. Too bad Human Events took it down.

For those FReepers who are bashing the parody as "hateful" and "promoting ignorance", keep this in mind...

"A Christmas Story" is one of the most beloved films today...a "new classic" for Christmas. TBS runs it all day long on Dec 25th every year.

Well the creator and director of that film, Bob Clark, was KILLED in 2007, along with his son by an illegal alien drunk driver (BAC 3x the legal limit).

I guess Jose can’t see the humor in it.
