What until they see THE BALLAD OF MIKE MORAN.

[nomad]

So they find Rag-Head offensive? I`ll try not to use that, but what about Camel-Jocky? Or Sand-Monkey? Are they ok with Diaper-Head? But then again maybe if they tried not to offend Americans by killing US, we would not offend them with WORDS!

[rightofrush]

Thank you!

[nomad]

Until then I`ll play the worlds smallest violin for the poor offended Rag-hea...oops, I mean Muslims.

[nonliberal]

I prefer Jacky's "Open Invitation.'

You brought your holy war/from your sand onto my grass/
You've got an open invitation/to kiss my ass!

[Harris]

Your use of the term raghead is equally offensive to Hillary Rodham Clinton and the feminazis. You best cease or I am going to be upset. Oh no. Someone has said raghead again. Stop it. We have no right to be upset with words. At least the hijackers (ragheads, for those of your in Rio Linda) offered no derogatory terms in carrying out their deeds. That makes them ok, right?

[GraniteStateConservative]

Add Louis Farrakahn to that list.

[Lion Den Dan]

I don't particularly care for Daniel's song but I like his intent. Islamist are offended, So What? I care for them even less. I am not sure which is worse, Rag Heads or Russians but for now I am at war with the Islamists.

[grego]

American Muslims offend me. Where is their comdemnation of what their fellow Muslims did? Where does thier loyalty lie? I say right on Charlie Daniels. Why are these PC jerks trying to censor Charlie Daniels who really does care about the United States. His song is a real rallying cry for the US to kick some Taliban butt. So lets see: these Nashville PC cowards throw over a patriotic American who really CARES about America for a bunch of American Muslims who for the most part do not even like America. The only thing you hear from American Muslims is how we need to be more sensitive to them. I am going out first thing tomorrow and proudly buy 'ole Charlie Daniels "This ain't no rag its a Flag."

[GeekDejure]

Click (heels snap together) Boing (right arm snaps forward) Heil Michaeler !!! (vocal chords adore Master)

[GeekDejure]

Your use of the term raghead is equally offensive to Hillary Rodham Clinton and the feminazis.

Wouldn't "rag crotch" be more appropriate here ???

[Michael2001]

"Now then, you are free to complain as much as you'd like, as you know. But you might as well get this straight: Americans are the politest and friendliest people in the world, and they are also a people with whom you best ought not to mess."

Good point. Who would've thunk that I would ever be agreeing with you?

[Michael2001]

Thanks for the lyrics. I just purchased it online and I haven't even heard it yet. I plan on playing it loud in my jeep, I hope it's good.

But Daniels says that he's representing part of America with the song, and is merely using the language that's familiar to "hard-working people."

...good ol' Charlie, my favored cowboy with a sharp tongue, saying the way IT is, as always.
He sure hits the nail right on the head, and he is making no bones about it, he is one straight from the hip shooting fellow, always standing by his beliefs no matter what the outcome. A true American, not waivering or pandering to the PC crowd, "just plain ol'me".

God, how I wish more "Charlie's" in today's enviroment,but sadly we have a generation of feminized, spineless, wimps wannabes who can not find their asses with both hands, running the "man" show. John Wayne, Chuck Connors will turn in their graves, seen what has happend in our society today.End of rant...bartender let me have a double Jack Daniels straight up...no ice and a MGD to chase that!

To prosecute a war effectively the nation must be outraged at what the enemy has done. Propaganda is necessary to maintaining this outrage. In WWII the government made posters depecting both Japs and Huns as inhuman monsters. I am sure many of our citizens felt uncomfortable because of their family ties. If PC language is our primary goal we will not call the Taliwackers by names such as raghead. Then outrage wanes, and the war is lost.

In other words, DO YOU WANT TO WIN THE WAR OR DO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NO MUSLIM FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE BY ASSOCIATION? I say: call our enemies ragheads and worse. Let the other Muslims grin and bare it. If they are not our enemies they should be able to figure out that we do not mean it personally. But dont keep apologizing to them. Keep up the outrage by whatever means it takes. They say this will be a long war. Lets win it by acting effectively on all fronts, including the propaganda front.
