Who would have thought that that Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, and Zac Brown, accomplished musicians all, would be so, well, tone-deaf? But how else to explain their choice of song—Creedence Clearwater's famously anti-war anthem “Fortunate Son”—at the ostensibly pro-military “Concert for Valor” this evening on the National Mall?
The song, not to put too fine a point on it, is an anti-war screed, taking shots at "the red white and blue." It was a particularly terrible choice given that Fortunate Son is, moreover, an anti-draft song, and this concert was largely organized to honor those who volunteered to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq.
On a musical level, “Fortunate Song” is not a bad song—that's one hell of a riff. But the “Concert for Valor,” a Veterans Day event sponsored by HBO and Starbucks, in front of the Capitol Building, was not the place for it.
You know what. I never liked Springstees music. It always bored me. Then when I learned he was basically a communist. He is worthless and a sad choice for this event.
Stop being such a knee-jerk reactionary who parrots right-wing, neocon talking points for a change.
Even better, go back to bashing "faggots".
That's more your speed.
My dad is a veteran. He doesn't like Springsteen.
Lots of people haven't liked Springsteen since way before Fox News was even on the drawing board. So your reactionary response of Fox News... is just blather from someone who likes regurgitating liberal talking points then regurgitating them again.

Check.
Springsteen is a condescending punk who ridicules America as well as the military grunts who merely do their duty. Between he and the whigger Eminem, this Veteran's Day "homage" was an absolute disgrace and utter embarrassment to any SANE observer.
As to Deckard/IW's menopausal reaction, it is FOX News and *only* FOX News reporting on 0bumkaCare author Gruber who admitted "stupidity" of the American people was the reason they passed that trash to begin with -- NOT MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the Times or any other media/network.

Oh, I get it now - you are under the impression that FOX News is conservative.
But you keep watching those pseudo conservatives like O'reilly, Hannity and that bleached Bimbo Megan Kelly.
They only lie 75% of the time.
Again, we'll review reality's simple math and political IQ Test:
CNN/CBS/ABC/NBC/MSNBC/NYT/etal = 0% Truth. FOX News.........................................= 25% Truth.
Would you rather be 100% dead or 75% dead? (Hint: 75% dead = LIFE.)
FWIW, O'Reilly is pompous tool of the Elitists and NWO, and probably America's most dangerous talking head.
Hannity and Kelly -- though not "conservative" by my definition -- at least report the truth on this totalitarian-fascist regime on many occasions. Hannity has been a main thorn in 0bola's side. Or do you deny even that??
I have no use for Oreilly. He is a fool. I've never really watched Megan Kelly. But I've seen a few of her clips. She is ok on some things. But he is pro fake marriage.
Agree with your succinct assessment. On some issues Kelly and Hannity must be commended for getting the truth out there. On other issues they are a fail. O'Reilly is an utter FAIL, puppet of the elites,and 0bola's pool-boy. His actual job at FOX is burying ALL truth and protecting 0bola.
Hannity's subservience to Bush and the rest of his cast of globalists was and still is embarrassing and inexcusable.
The topic of discussion earlier this week on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor was the subject of filming police officers during on-the job duties. Or, as host Bill O’Reilly describes it, “spying on the police.”
Mr. O’Reilly and guest commentator Megyn Kelly proceeded to attempt to marginalize a group known as Cop Block (www.copblock.org), which has dedicated a great deal of effort toward seeking accountability among police officers through the use of cameras.
The two hosts showed nothing but contempt toward the concept of filming police and the individuals who spend effort to do it.
