My short version is -— I don’t believe anything he is saying about his bands use of the Confederate flag 30 years ago

If I were Tom Petty’s parents, I’d apologize for Tom Petty.

Yes,for special people like Sen. Robert Byrd.

WERE YOU AWARE OF THE ROOF MANIFESTO ?
Through the use of the “Bully Pulpit”. POTUS created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into; “Victims of an evil society” (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.

The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”

It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries which were treated as local news ignored and forgotten. Including a young Austrailian champion runner vacationing here staying with relatives in the US that was murdered while jogging near a black area. There were about a score (20) or more of such incidents.And each was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!” ..

Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3302529/posts

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders resulting during the Zimmerman trial were refered to in this nut cases’s (Storm Roof)“manifesto” the reaction was....“Well we can’t let that out.

Oh ! But Storm’s face book page also has him holding a Confederate battle flag.Policy on that flag by the KKK by the way, was it never to be displayed by the KKK in their national marches. They allways used the Stars and Stripes and when South Carolina governor Earnest Hollings ordered it displayed to protest desegregation in the 60’s it was misused as an insult to blacks. Where it remained flying on the state capitol flag pole until this year.

Not mentioning the Roof manifesto begs the question; If Obama had not proceeded with this perverse “progressive” agenda which ended up up with scores of killings. Would this “wacko” have had that excuse .?

While igmoring that manifesto and perverting what the Confederate battle flag’s represents at the same time diverts any attention to the regimes complicity in engendering those previous racial incidents and unanswerable for those deaths..

While some talk show hosts acknowledge there’s racial rhetoric of division being used by the regime. They have yet to acknowledge and identify the political objective of its use of (racial) division. Which is permitting unimpeded continuation of the destruction of the constitution through the use of division through the use of black racism. Let alone mention that manifesto.

No one here is shocked, but we do need to call him out for the pond scum that he is.

Petty jealousy. Neil Young, of the minor rock group that broke up in 1968, is getting all the press, what with the “Monsanto Years” LP, which could become totally irrelevant if Monsanto merges with Syngenta and changes name, and with the boycott of streaming services (good riddance to bad rubbish), because of the low quality of sound when streaming his albums consisting of amplifier feedback, so petty Petty wants to get in on the action and have a headline in Rolling Stone, or at least in Song Hits. We’ll see how it goes.

Not good enough; he should crawl on his belly across the floor, weep and tear his hair and lick dirt, while crying out, “Oh, woe is me, woe is me, I’m so naughty in the eyes of Liberals everywhere!”
