Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band Guitarist Steven Van Zandt Deletes Call to ‘Exterminate’ GOP ‘Cockroaches’
Breitbart ^

Posted on 04/10/2023 6:26:28 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Bruce Springsteen’s veteran E-Street band guitarist Steven Van Zandt issued a call to fans and supporters on social media Sunday to “Exterminate the (Republican) cockroaches.”

His rallying cry to target GOP supporters, half of America, came during an expletive-laden exchange on Twitter.

It began when the guitarist ventured forth by abusing what he called “Republican White Supremicist scumbag cowards and pussies that need guns to feel like real men” after TN representatives demanded gun controls.

Van Zandt was then called out on Twitter by a follower for his abuse, which he quickly resumed.

If you are part of a corporate entity, you are no longer a private person who can say things that will not reflect badly on your employer. Any company I ever worked for would have fired me in an instant if I became controversial in any way. The first thing a newspaper or media outlet does is associate you with something. If you’re not a “former Marine,” or an employee of Walmart, then they’ll say, “mother of two” or grandson of a former councilman. This is because they are trying to create some relevance to draw in more clicks. Also, they are trying to spread the blame for whatever you have done to create controversy. News is entertainment and entertainment is a “story” and a story is only a story if it contains conflict.

[[It began when the guitarist ventured forth by abusing what he called “Republican White Supremicist scumbag cowards and pussies that need guns to feel like real men”]]

Hey steven- tons of black folks own guns too- are they all “Republican White Supremicist scumbag cowards and pussies that need guns to feel like real men”? Ill bet your security detail own guns as well- Check out black on black crime, and then black on white crime, then get back to us- And by the way, guns or no guns, Republicans are far manlier than the hoards of metrosexuals that make up the majority of the left, who cower and wet themselves at the mere sight or mention of a gun. But do please Keep stomping yer feet, and shouting and screaming as though it makes you a tough guy there fella, its amusing.

Aw heck no. You only get a permanent ban for saying something really extreme, like “Refuse to submit to the trannies. Tell the truth”.

This is what happens when you saturate your brain with drugs for a lifetime and pretend to be a gangster in front of cameras.

This foul mouthed asshoe thinks he knows how to make people who disagree with his politics be more moral.

If you look at the pic of him in the article, you will see the kind of person he is.

I never liked Springsteen and his band when I was young and still do not like their awful music or Springsteen now.

He sounds like someone who needs to take some of his own medicine.

Lots of wild Rock and Roll rockers named van Zandt and Van Zant. E-Street, Lynard Skynard and .38 Special. This one used to be a big freedom advocate but I guess he is into slavery and one-world government now. The others were crazy dudes. Had one of their cousins as a friend forty-five years ago. He shot his television with Colt one night.

They weren’t real sensible people as he would have been the first to admit.

Agreed. Oddly enough though, he likely won’t get suspended for Facebook for violating their terms about hate speech though.

From another 'on the Left':

"When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time." - Maya Angelou

The Left has been saying things like van Zandt said for at least a decade, and has been bleeding through in the mockingbird media. This is likening to a tribe beating its spears on shields summoning up the courage to fight.

Rhetorical question for the studio audience: how many have considered the above, and have prepared mentally when 'the charge' occurs?

Most singers abilities decline with age however, Springsteen was every bit as bad at 23 than he is now.

Today Rwanda is functioning due to “reconciliation” of the divide. It’s easier to have peace(lack of opposition) when there is little left of the undesirables.
