U2 tells Hillary and other politicians to fuck off

Rock giants U2 unhappy to be politicians' cash cows

Rock giants U2 have expressed outrage that US politicians from both main parties, including Hillary Clinton, are using their concerts to fill campaign coffers.



"The U2 concerts are categorically not fundraisers for any politician. They are rock concerts for U2 fans," a statement from the group's publicist said.

Senator Clinton has "invited" 18 people to join her on October 19 in a luxury suite at Washington's MCI Center to see U2 play during their sold-out Vertigo tour, as long as they contribute 2,500 dollars to the Democratic Party.

Luxury suites at the center cost 7,000 dollars and offer a close-up view of the stage.

"We do a meet-and-greet with the senator, and then go in and listen to music," said Ann Lewis, the former first lady's spokeswoman.

Pennsylvania Republican Senator Rick Santorum is holding a 1,000-dollar-a-head fundraiser at U2's show in Philadelphia this weekend.






I was starting to find Bono annoying but I'm starting to like the guy again. Good for U2.

Fuck U2.

T2oo U2 little, t2o U2 late.

I knew they were selling out.

They knew they were selling out.

Now they're trying t2o act like they didn't know and they're not sellouts.

Either that or Bono got a death threat from a CIA/World Vision Mark Chapman mind cuntrol freak.

There's no John Lennon in that band.

They should stop faking it.

Especially Bono.

They should just go off an retire and enjoy the money they've made.

"F4or the times they are a changing."
Dylan...still alive cause he SHUT UP!

true dat

And, that's a bad thing.

So Phil, are you a big U2 fan? LOL

Bono's right on about this, but it's not the first time U2's been coopted.

How this started was earlier this week, that "always unimpeachably accurate" source of information NewsHAX was reporting that U2 was holding a private fundraiser concert for Rick "man on dog" Santorum at the price of $1000 a ticket.

Naturally, this caused an international storm of controversy, since U2's political viewpoints are not exactly secret. And not exactly neoconservative.

The reality was that someone in the Santorum camp had purchased a block of tickets and was selling them at the high price to Republicans who wanted to meet the Prickster.

In other words, SCALPING the tickets, which I always thought was illegal. Except when Republicans do it, I guess.

In either case, the band had nothing whatsoever to do with it. Or the Hillary scalping either. Actually, this is the first I've heard of that one.

Not surprising since Hillary and the other DLC stooges do everything else exactly like the Repukelicans do.

It's fact t2oday. The Beatles didn't stop touring in 1966 because of Ringo's stomach.

They stopped because of death threats in 1966.

Lennon said so himself that's why they stopped touring.

And Dylan himself has admitted that's why he quit touring in 1966.

Like I said, why doesn't U2 hang up their guns and retire or SHUT UP like Dylan.

Performers don't have the anwers.

Tom Hanks doesn't have the answer.

Getting your political views from perfomers is tasteless besides being dangerous.

Do I care about how Danny of the Partridge Family voted?

Gimme a break.

Nope, it's a right wing now. Has been ever since she joined the Senate.

wow FORD, you really cut to the chase on this one. For some reason the crime of scalping did not enter my brain but dammit your right!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:


Some fans didn't get tickets because butt boy wanted to scalp tickets $1000 a piece!!!!! Fuckin' A man.

[FORD]

I'm hoping that they play "Sunday Bloody Sunday" at this show, and that they bring back the extended political rant in the middle, and tell off Rick and his scalper buddies. Or they could do "Bullet the Blue Sky" and say "The God I believe in doesn't charge $1000 for a concert ticket, MISTER!"

[ODShowtime]

Does U2 have any songs about sodomy?

[thome]

One of these days you guys will grow up and realize they are all
Rich Republicans and use YOU----TOO as a tool .

Both Grate Songs, coincendently both could be used to show the war for what it really is. Personally i am sick of watching of these all these artists support fucking canidates for office. Weather its the dems or Neocons , I personally would rather 'em say. FUCK YOU to both of 'em.
