VIDEO: Springsteen Hits Coulter, Defends Right To Take A Stand On Political Issues

In a recent interview, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien asked Bruce Springsteen (aka “The Boss”) about criticism he has received for taking a stand on political issues. Springsteen responded sarcastically, “Yeah, they should let Ann Coulter do it instead.” He added that there are “idiots rambling on on cable television on any given night of the week,” and called the idea that musicians shouldn’t speak up, “insane” and “funny.”

Transcript:

O’BRIEN: In 2004 you came out very strongly in support of John Kerry and performed with him - your fellow guitarist, I think is how you introduced him to the crowd. And some people gave you a lot of flack for being a musician who took a political stand. I remember…

SPRINGSTEEN: Yeah, they should let Ann Coulter do it instead.

O’BRIEN: There is a whole school of thought, as you well know, that says that musicians – I mean you see it with the Dixie Chicks - you know, go play your music and stop.

SPRINGSTEEN: Well, if you turn it on, present company included, the idiots rambling on on cable television on any given night of the week, and you’re saying that musicians shouldn’t speak up? It’s insane. It’s funny.

O’BRIEN: As a musician though, I’d be curious to know if there is a concern that you start talking about politics, you came out at one point and said, I think in USA Today listen, the country would be better off if George Bush were replaced as President. Is there a worry where you start getting political and you could alienate your audience?

SPRINGSTEEN: Well that’s called common sense. I don’t even see that as politics at this point. So I mean that’s, you know, you can get me started, I’ll be glad to go. […] You don’t take a country like the United States into a major war on circumstantial evidence. You lose your job for that. That’s my opinion, and I have no problem voicing it. And some people like it and some people boo ya, you know?

He's entitled to his opinion just like anyone else.

We all know how liberals bow and worship these "celebrities."

Be sure you follow their guiding principles and viewpoints to the letter.

:gulp:

[Terry]

Why would anyone criticize Springsteen for supporting Kerry in 2004?

Not like it did any good in the end, right?

[Warham]

He probably supported these candidates as well:

Carter in '80
Mondale in '84
Dukakis in '88
Gore in '00

He has a hell of a track record.

[bobgnote]

There isn't much here . . .

They did NOT reveal the inflation from the 2000-1 power deals OR their illegal nature. LAST WEEK, on CNN or CNN +, the hot Asian newsie mugged to Jimmy Kimmel, silently mouthing 'ILLEGAL POWER DEALS,' a hard joke on me and everyone else, WHO GETS NO CORPORATE MICROPHONE TIME, whenever the dick feels ripe.

So what's you all ******s' lame-nappy excuses? Are your rocks too hard, or did that bluegrass hit the spot right on your blue balls, where there's still some feeling, NUMBIES?

Nope. In terms of the '80 election, Springsteen political awareness didn't really exist at the time, and he didn't endorse ANYONE in '84, though both candidates courted him, and BOTH attempted to co-opt him (Reagan more aggresively). But yes, in '88 he told an audience "don't vote for the fuckin' Bush".

BTW, real slick to omit his candidate of choice for both '92 and '96.

Oh, and someone like FORD would argue that his candidate DID win the 2000 election. Soooooo, all told his track record is 2-2.

And 20 billion albums.

And the 2004 election as well. There is no question that Ohio was as blatantly stolen in 2004 as Florida was in 2000.

You never cease to amaze me with your psycho-babble bullshit.

[FORD]

And you never cease to amaze me with your total lack of knowledge about anything.

BTW, when are you going to Iraq, Mr 19 year old chickenhawk?

If you believe in this bullshit, go over there and suit up. I'm sure there's a soldier on his third or fourth tour who would gladly trade places with you.

[matt19]

Wait wait, i answered this before i cant go, i havent passed the physical, and im sure there is. Yet i havent shown a lack of knowledge, just disagreements with you yet that makes me stupid.

[DLR'sCock]

I saw that interview, hilarious and true.

What a steaming pile of shit this is. :rolleyes:

Do you follow anyone's "guiding principles" and /or viewpoints to the letter?

no:rolleyes:

Not even Christ's.




But then again, you do seem to align pretty tightly with the Coulter Crowd.


Fucking hypocrite

Warpig only mentions Clinton when it suits his argument.

[thome]

I feel that Bono and Rosio Fats need to chime in, also, i can't get enough what the really important ,in the news, talented personalities have to say, i also get all my real important info on the geo political
landscape from People magazine it's so really hot and groovy.

Paris Hilton has more to say than these turds.

Johnny Dep was on TV the other Day Languishing in his own brilliance,
absolutely stunning ability to really know how important it is, for me
-the world-to know how he knows what -Must Be Done-

* Honey is my Tiger Beat Magazine hear yet? I need to know
whos the gichiest and mod and celeberific today and how
their own personal abilities are going to save the universe!

I will be in the garage -Takeing the Pipe- now.

Hmm ( garden hose/keys.... check !Gasoline in the car ...Damn no gas!)

Well soon i will have the sermon of the mount from another important
person like maybe(insert nightmare here) and live again!

It is a pretty sad state of affairs when the heroes of American youth are the likes of 50 cent, Ludacris and Paris Hilton. Meanwhile over in China and Japan the future leaders of their country are giving idol worship to the likes of Bill Gates.

Would you rather they worshipped Chimpy?

And if so, what's the difference between Chimpy and Paris Hilton? Seriously...

Two dumbass rich kids who would be Wal Mart greeters if their grandparents hadn't made a lot of money.

Well, at least Heston wasn't born with the name "Marion"

Most ironic name ever for a macho icon.

My job requires brains, which neither of them have. Or yourself, apparently.

I doubt that, since Maoist thought is still the underlying creed of Chinese society. More than likely they want to pirate his software and tell Bill to go fuck himself. You think they want all of these US companies here for capitalism? Hell no, they want find and easier way to pirate our technology without having to send agents from the Guoanbu all the way to the USA to gather the info. I suggest you read Sun Tzu's "The Art of war" and "On Guerilla Warfare" by Mao Tse Tung to know what the fuck your up against.

As for Japan, they idolize our porn stars and aspire to have giant horse cocks! LOL :D
