A scheduled appearance by vulgar rock-rapper Kid Rock at a Bush inauguration concert hosted by Bush daughters Jenna and Barbara has shocked conservative supporters.
The rapper’s lyrics often focus on the recreational nature of sex and send a message of female sexual exploitation. In 2000 he appeared in a porn film with well-known porn stars, and he was named the Sluttiest Male Celebrity by MTV.
According to Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association, the White House has sent a shocking statement to the millions of families who supported his re-election.
"Kid Rock is an inexcusable choice,” Wildmon said. "His music lyrics serve to teach our young men to disrespect women in a most vile, self serving manner. There's no compassionate conservatism in that philosophy.”
"Obviously, someone on the Presidential Inauguration Committee has made an extremely poor judgment call. The Committee should cancel this invitation immediately,” Wildmon said.
Kid rock was chosen to appear because he was a supporter of President Bush's re-election campaign.
You know, since this is like the third posting of this, I'm gonna change my stance...
I'm GLAD that KR is gonna perform. I'd much rather have him performing than say, Eminem. If this ticks off the Puritans, then more power to him. Some folks are getting entirely too big for their britches, and it's starting to make me mad.
I'll take a conservative with a potty mouth over a "clean" liberal any day.
Ted Nugent was equally as bad in his younger years and has made a big turn-around.
Googled that, eh?
Watch this Video of Lonely Road of Faith and then say he shouldn't be there:

Yep. There are plenty of wholesome rock bands out there to pick from instead. But I suspect this was a decision made by someone more interested in star value and publicity than wholesomeness.
I'm glad he has nothing better to do than worry about stuff like this.
Doesn't anyone remember Kid Rock's "American Badass" blaring from the USS Cole as it was being pulled from harbor in Yemen?
Awesome.
You already know, but a few of the less informed might like to know some of Kid Rock's songs include the F-word in their title, such as "F--- U Blind" and "F--- Off."
But hey, if that's not "shocking" enough for YOU, maybe the President's Inaugural Entertainment Committee could substitute KR for a few lap dancers from the Whisky-a-Go-Go.
You said it!
pretty much
So now Kid Rock is Satan?!?!?
I believe some people are just too uptight....
Pal, you just named two of my favorites.

How about "in addition to" rather than a substitute for?
P.J. O'Rourke is spinning in his drunken stupor.
I like Kid Rock.
Werd.
I don't listen to Kid Rock. I have my complaints with his material and behavior on stage.
I still say these people need to back off. He's an American. A Patriot to my understanding and right now at this present time I'll take a Patriot whether they be Liberal, conservative, Christian or Athiest. We're in a war and certain segments of our society are trying to sell us out to the terrorists. I will NOT ostracize those that helped elect this President.
This is not the appropriate forum to have this dispute on his rock lyrics. The Inaugural is a time to celebrate and thank everyone that contributed to his victory. Kid Rock as a right to be there. Don't like his material, I'm sure more events people are accepting towards will be available to attend.
You got that right. I think the evangelical wing of this party needs to get a grip. It's a party for pete's sake and you aren't even invited!
