Unmitigated Tastlessness

I had to get this from an Australian newspaper. It almost seems like a hoax but it is real. Are there no depths republicans will go to politize and manipulate the public. They can't see how tastless this is? 'America Supports Your Freedom Walk' So wtf does this have to do with the Iraq war? And what's up with country music. How far has it fallen from Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. Whores. At least I know the Dixie Chicks will not be there.

Pentagon announces September 11 concert

The Pentagon would hold a massive march and country music concert to mark the fourth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in an announcement tucked into an Iraq war briefing today.

"This year the Department of Defence will initiate an America Supports Your Freedom Walk," Rumsfeld said, adding that the march would remind people of "the sacrifices of this generation and of each previous generation".

The march will start at the Pentagon, where nearly 200 people died on September 11, 2001, and end at the National Mall with a show by country star Clint Black.

In case you don't know much about Clint Black's ignorant politics. Here's are lyrics from his little ditty about the Iraq War. Has anyone told Black Iraq didn't have anything to do with 9/11.

Black is the man behind "I Raq and Roll," a country ditty that conflates Saddam Hussein with "the devil" who attacked the United States on 9/11: "We can't ignore the devil, he'll keep coming back for more ... If they won't show us their weapons, we might have to show them ours. It might be a smart bomb -- they find stupid people, too. And if you stand with the likes of Saddam, one just might find you."
