Brad Paisley didn’t just spend his Memorial Day weekend cooking hot dogs at a neighborhood barbecue. The country superstar instead traveled halfway around the world to perform for U.S. troops.
And he made the journey on Air Force One accompanying President Obama and some of his advisers.

What drives the blade into some folks is the harsh political reality that this trip to Afghanistan was a show for Obama’s benefit and Paisley was a tool used by Obama to divert attention from the deaths of our veterans because of “waiting lists” at VA hospitals.
I agree on the issue of Obama’s motives here. There’s no question about it.
What should our people do then, refuse to perform for the troops until Obama is gone? Only travel separately and at great expense?
Perhaps that’s a valid plan. I’m not as opposed to these folks riding on AF1 as others of you are. That doesn’t make me right and you wrong.
If the CIC asks a singer to join him to sing to the troops on Memorial Day in a war zone, I don’t see how he can refuse. And he did spare the troops having to listen to whatever vile act might have gone instead. Besides which, Obama might develop some music sense from listening to some country music instead of that JayZ/Beyonce *rap..
Is that dog over there, wagging his tail so vigorously, named Brad?

Here, Here!
My thoughts EXACTLY!Brad Paisley is a”Useful Idiot”!!!!!
I’m with you on this one. I don’t know much about Mr. Paisley’s politics, but I do know that if I was one of the men in that audience, I’d be mighty glad for the show.
That’s what it’s all about for me. I don’t think we should literally tee off on the guy for essentially doing something for the troops. I can understand why it tweaks folks though.
Exactly right about Paisley. He is an Obama lover and makes no apologies for it. As far as I’m concerned he’s no different than a Bill Mahr, Alec Baldwin, or a Michael Moore. Would there be freepers applauding them for ‘entertaining’ the troops too?
Good question. Still wondering why Paisley is aligning himself with this fool. He needs to remember what happened with the Dixie Chicks when they decided to flaunt their left wing views.
Country music fans won't like it, and have a great memory. Bet you won't see George Strait chumming it up with the pretender POTUS.
Paisley is a libtard fake country artist from somewhere else
His Hollywood wife is huge progressive in Nashville
Screw him
Never liked his silly songs anyhow
Most of us gave up paisley some time in the ‘70s.
You should read about him mo.
His wife is the segue for this.
They are libs....Freepers don’t know better...not their fault really
All Freeper brethren want to know how Brad views Obama

Yuck...
Freepers think Nashville is conservative....its not...I live here
Its like Austin or Eugene
I’m glad they went. It is his job and I’ll bet he found better company than at home.
