I don't buy my entertainment from politicians and I certainly don't want to hear politics from certain celebrities, unless of course, they can make it witty and funny and can speak truth to power like Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart and Robin Williams. Unfortunately for so many Republicans, they just aren't funny.

And to think this guy is adored by millions! Wasn't he the same guy who threw a plastic bottle of water on the 'Colbert report'? What a tool.

What does anyone expect of Toby me-me-me-me fracking Keith, anyway???

Because idiots are more entertaining, and we no longer have news in America. Just infotainment. The fact that it lets the dumbest people in the country drive the political agenda is just an unfortunate side effect.

One time Charlie Rose had Richard Dawkins (famous geneticist and advocate of the theory of evolution) on his show. Rose said "Are you aware that 50% of the people in this country don't believe in evolution?" Dawkins answered: "I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. And it's not unique to America. We have ignorant people in Britain, too. We just don't vote them all into office."

A new kind of stupid was discovered today. It was located in the very center of singer Toby Keith's minute brain. This new kind of stupid registers even lower than that of the average pile of dog shit. Scientist are in a state of disbelief as a result of this amazing discovery.

Question,

If Obama spoke and carried himself like an inner city gangbanger, or else spoke and carried himself like Rev. Wright, do you think he would have won the primaries?

Let's face facts, most Americans are still inately racist, as my more left-wing friends are so fond of reminding me. So with that in mind, let's admit that Obama would NOT have been accepted if he fit the white stereotype of what it means to be a "black male".

This is not to suggest you have to agree with Toby Keith or those who claim that he wouldn't be where he is if he didn't assimilate. But rather, you know deep down that far too many Americans still view race as a litmus test to the presidency.

LibertyLover @ 4:

I don't buy my entertainment from politicians.

I don't think you have a choice. The two groups (entertainers and politicians) have merged in the last 30 years, whether we like it or not. Politicians acting like jackasses, and entertainers acting like politicians (sometimes even being elected to public office) sells more advertising spots on TEEVEE, and that's been the main driving force behind it.

Never heard of him. Hope I never do again.

Hey!
Toby's the second-most-famousest person in Oklahoma.
Behind Garth Brooks.
(hey, they say he likes it like that, knowuddamean>?)
This'd be a helluva country if every dumb, red-necked shit-stick with a guitar and an accent couldn't get on a stage and find a podium from which to say the DUMBEST Shit, to which all his dumb-ass fans frantically assent. Wouldn'wanna live in no cunchry like that... no, sir

Toby, other countries don't hate us for our freedoms. They hate us because of guys just like you.

Go clear some brush, or something, tough guy.

Shoo. I have limited time to snark latent homosexuals with jingoism problems.

No...other countries hate us because of our sheer size and the size of our big sticks we brandish with wide stances. Uncle Sam is a total polar bear. ;)

redcat @ 23:

isn't obama half caucasian?

Shhh....don't use facts with discussing politics. Bad form.

I thought his song hit right on with the cognitive dissonance of the right, focused on the smaller crimes, that while they do affect some people in terrible ways....the bigger crimes by the corporations and criminal politicians go either unnoticed, or just given a wink and a nod.
I wondered why Colbert had him on....maybe to show the the world what their mentality really is...but when I heard the audience clappin' along, and then Colbert runnin out and seemingly fawning over him...it was a head scratchin WTF moment for me...
wonder if someone complained about Nas performing on the show a week or so ago, and said hey we need to balance it out with some shitty modern country music.

The only people who listen to Toby Keith are the Limpballs and Oliely listeners. So what does that tell us? They are morons, plain and simple.

Campaign manager Rick Davis made this statement:

"We are not going to let anybody paint John McCain, who has fought his entire life for equal rights for everyone, to be able to be painted as racist."

So to you, the only choices for Barack Obama is to talk like a gangbanger or a white man?

The fact that Obama is half Caucasian aside, how about Obama speaks like an educated person, regardless of color?

After 8 years of the Idiot in Chief who mangles even the most basic English, I think it's refreshing to see someone speak intelligently. I don't see a color in that.

3. Catacomb - I saw Don King at da fights the other night. Man, somebody get that catacomb.

4. Foreclose - If I pay alimony today, I got no money foreclose.

5. Rectum - I had two Cadillacs, but my bitch rectum both.

6. Disappointment - My parole officer tol' me if I miss disappointment they gonna send me back to the joint.

7. Penis - I went to the doctors and he handed me a cup and said penis.

8. Israel - Tito try to sell me a rolex. I say, "Man, it look fake." He say, "Bullshit, that watch Israel."

9. Undermine - There's a fine lookin' ho in the apartment undermine.

10. Acoustic - When I was little, my uncle bought me acoustic and took me to the pool hall.

11. Iraq - When we got the poolhall, I tol' my uncle, "Iraq, you break."

12. Stain - My mother-in-law stopped by and I axed her, "Do you plan on stain for dinner?"

13. Fortify - I axed this ho on da street, "how much?" she say, "fortify".

14. Income - I just got in bed wif a ho and income my wife.

Yes. All hat, no cattle, as they say. No wonder he self-identifies with a fraud like Bush.

When did fake tough become a virtue? When and how did false piety find it's footing in our commons?

The music industry has always allowed mediocrity an elegant path to the market, so I get that part.

Bitter Bud Hussein @ 5:

Toby Keith is what we used to call a "Coca Cola Cowboy" back in Houston.

Meaning he's a fake, pandering, wannabe who would run from the first sight of a fight - run like a woman pulling her skirt up (no offense to the ladies).

Toby Keith ain't no cowboy - he's a faker and a total loser who talks tough and that's it. I'm sure you can expect to see him on Hannity sometime soon since dorks of a feather tend to stick together.

Hey Toby, on the off chance that you read this post - I'll meet you any time, anywhere to shove your words and your career down your throat. Just email me. Punk.

I agree, he does speak very well and is very eloquent. Unfortunately, a majority of our nation equates "speaking well" with "being white". In fact, it is common in the black community to equate "being intelligent" with "acting white".

Now I totally agree, intelligence should know no color. Unfortunately, that's not the way the majority of our population thinks.

"is because he talks, acts and carries himself as a Caucasian."

Maybe Obama talks, acts, and carries himself as a Human Being. And uppity nigras ought not do that.... /snark/

Why didn't Toby say white person instead of Caucasian?

Toby Keith is not the exception to the rule...unfortunately.

First off all let me preface this by saying I don't listen to country Music. The only thing I've heard of Toby Keith is his version of "Never Gonna Give You Up" from Barry White, along with Former NBA player turned jazz musician Wayman Tisdale.

And I disagree with his Obama comments. But I also disagree with the insinuation that he was in favor of lynching black people based on those lyrics. I just read the lyrics on that link and, to me anyway, it was talking about basically being a pro-death penatly guy and saying round up all these murderers and stringing them up. I understand the symbolism involved here and how some people may construe that as something else, but I honestly don't think that's what he was going for.

Everyone is afforded their own interpretations, but I think it's pretty dishonest and shameful to have all these people painting him as "loving a good lynching" knowing full well what those four words are going to mean to people considering what he said about Obama.

Shame on anyone who goes there.

Toby is a stupid redneck & you are just plain stupid.

And yet another racist remark. Did we become freepers here or something? Hate the guy if you want, but please refrain from the offensive racist comments. Thanks!

Hmmm. I think he's allowed to sing what he wants, even if I think it sucks. I get tired of people worked up about music. He made it, people bought it, 1st Amendment, yes?

Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street
For all the people to see
......
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
too much corruption and crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground

It's clear he's calling for mayhem. (gangster = blacks) Obviously Mr. Keith never saw "The Oxbow Incident".

Gary, you must have missed this part:
Huffington Post

Those who doubt the presence of racist undertones in Keith's "Beer For My Horses" should see the song's video. Cue ahead to 3:00 and watch as Keith intones, "We got too many gangsters doin' dirty deeds." The singer's words are not-so-subtly accompanied by the image of a swaggering black man sporting short dreads and baggy clothes. Thus the profile of Keith's ideal lynching candidate is revealed.

I agree that the lyrics by themselves seem to be innocuous and reminiscent of the good ol' days of Texas Justice, the video clearly indicates something else.

So a single scene in a video is somehow indicative of the entire piece? I mean, if he only showed white people as the criminals, that would be a bit dishonest, wouldn't it? Just as if he had shown all black people. I don't know what his views on black people are. I don't pretend to know. I mean he just did a song with a black musician, so I don't know. And no, I'm not going for the "he has black friends" argument. lol

I don't know. It just reminds me of the people who say that Godfather is racist, because of the scene where the familes all got together and was talking about leaving the drugs and that kinda thing to the black people (not using those words) and let them deal with it.

As if a single scene, actually a single LINE could sum up someone's thoughts, out of a nearly 3 hour film.

I hate these people almost as much as they hate me.

Everything that's bad about the current state of country music is represented right here, in this one man. No soul in his music, no sympathy in his lyrics. Just ass-kickin' and American superiority, all while stylized and blowdried within an inch of his life. Yessir.

If you think that this boze represents real country music, go out and buy a Buck Owens album today. Or George Jones. Loretta Lynn. Johnny Paycheck. Conway Twitty. Hag. Dwight Yoakam. Red Meat. Dave Alvin. Derailers. Jesus, just anybody who can show you how good the art form can be.

Out her in the southwest, there are indeed latino folks whom i'd defiinitely regard as 'crackers.' "Galletas"? Could be...But anyway, it's not a 'racial' category. It describes a particular strain of mainly southern, unconscious, unwarranted superiority.

Have a contest?

You might be a cracker if...
You've only got one set of grandparents...

G'won, James, you try one...

Hmm....I was born and and raised in the south, and I was under the impression "Cracker" referred to, historically anyway, to a white man that owned slaves and was fond of using the whip.

shame me all you want, this screams of lynching. so, yes, i am stating--with no grey area--that tobias skeeter keith is having himself a bit of fond lynching nostalgia

keith: pro lynch

So then by saying he's pro lynching, you're saying he wants to lynch BLACK PEOPLE, not just the "Bad Boys", is that correct?

Because when you post up a line like: Toby "I love a good lynching" Keith, that's EXACTLY what you are saying. Hopefully no one is of the belief that anyone reading this is stupid enough to believe that that's not the insinuation.

well, good... i made my point

i am saying--now in a clearer formula!--that tobias skeeter keith is looking fondly back to they day when WHITE people lynched BLACK people.

HELLO, SITE MONITOR??

Site monitor was meant for the CRETIN #42.

Leadership@3 very funny, and wonderful use of adjectives, here. Keep up the good work.

Cretin@42 will never understand the subtle, but very important nuance, of the difference between the two posts.

No. That was Richard Branson the Billionaire.

I thought the same thing. However, Colbert's character would be a fan of Toby Keith. I don't think Toby understands that Colbert is making fun of his viewpoints. I think he thinks he agrees with him. Toby Keith = Not an "It" getter. JMHO.

Yes his alter ego WOULD be a fan indeed, and that crossed my mind as well, sometimes I think Colbert is really a super duper genius...
Yeah poor ol Toby, just can't fathom the really deep sarcasm...HA!

I have rightie friends who Looooooove Colbert but wont watch Jon Stewart. I ask them why they dislike Stewart and they say "cause he's a LIBERAL!"

LOL!!

Yes, Colbert is a super duper genious.

Same here...I also have lefty friends who LOVE Stewart, but think Colberts a right wing egomaniac...I try to explain that it's an act. Not unlike Andrew Dice Clay's onstage persona...but even some lefties miss the deep sarcasms as well.

who gives a flying good goddamn what Toby KKKeith has to say??

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American pubic"

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard"

"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats"

The other morning I was surfing the channels on tv and came to fox and friends. This guy was on the show talking about his movie and all. He was wearing a baseball cap with his sunglasses resting on the visor of the cap. He had on a shirt and jeans that looked like he had slept in them for several nights. He was half laying down on his back on the couch propped up by his elbow. It was the most bizarre thing. I quickly changed the channel because it was too early in the morning to look at something like that.

Who is he?

Award yourself extra points for not knowing who he is, you're a better person for it.

I tried once to keep track of every time a rapper on a CD made racist remarks.

I lost count at about 200.

This idiot lives about 5 miles from my house in Norman, OK. I see him driving his truck every now and then, and I always shoot him the finger. He always looks confused.

Lol, I bet he does look confused.
Fall is coming and soon he'll be roaming the sidelines with Stoops and the BBQ Wrestling guy.

Can't argue that...though it's still wrong no matter the source.

He was born in Moore, OK, a suburb south of OKC. Moore has painted one of their water towers near I-35......"Home of Toby Keith." Sweet huh?

He did back our Democratic governor though. So did Barry Switzer. That's enough around here to get one elected.

Furthermore, Bobby G., I had a look at your thesis. I might even read that puppy!
I teach philosophy, which leads people (on all sides) to assume that I think what they think (talking to them in bars, at least).

My favorite guy was the guy who tried to quote Fred Thomson on Law and Order at me "there's no right to privacy in the constitution!" without ruminating on the fact that I had been sitting there during the episode, just finished. Sheesh.

Full disclosure, I also like your thesis conclusion, so am inclined to read it. :)

Musicians.

So, sorry my snark-dar wasn't on.

No harm, no foul.
