How about just saying it’s about “vigilante justice”?

[OCCASparky]

Max, you're a tool. Cause God only knows that any song uber-moonbat lib Willie Nelson signs onto has just **GOT** to be an ode to anarchy and rednecks everywhere.../sarc

Another case of the "bitter" liberal elite pontificating on something of which they know less than nothing.

[mnehring]

Well a man come on the 6 o’clock news
said somebody’s been shot
somebody’s been abused
somebody blew up a building
somebody stole a car
somebody got away
somebody didn’t get to far yeah
they didn’t get to far

Grand pappy told my pappy back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he’d done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street
For all the people to see

That
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune
And we’ll all meet back at the local saloon
And we’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing
whiskey for my man, beer for my horses

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
Send ‘em all to their maker and he’ll settle ‘em down
You can bet he’ll set ‘em down

Cause
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune
And we’ll all meet back at the local saloon
And we’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing
whiskey for my man, beer for my horses
whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

He knew
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys,
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune
And we’ll all meet back at the local saloon
And we’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singin’ whiskey for my man, beer for my horses
Singing whiskey for my man, beer for my horses

Huffington Post blogger Max Blumenthal called the song an "ode to lynching" and said that "Colbert's studio audience clapped to the beat, blithely unaware that they were swaying to a racially tinged, explicitly pro-lynching anthem that calls for the vigilante-style hanging of car thieves and other assorted evildoers."

What a frickin' idiot.

[Always Right]

Well, so now hanging must be referred to as the h-word unless it is used in connotation with punishing the Bush administration?

[John123]

Blumenthal is a moron trying to create news when it isn’t there... what’s next? All western movies are racist because the cattle thieves were hung?

[stainlessbanner]

If they want to make it a race thing, they'll be surprised when they read the facts and stats: Lynching redefined in South Carolina [fr]

"Though they make up just 30 percent of the state's population, blacks account for 63 percent of the lynching charges, according to an Associated Press analysis of crime statistics.

"For every 1,000 blacks in South Carolina, 2.07 were charged with lynching, compared with 0.46 charged per 1,000 whites - meaning blacks are charged with lynching at 4 1/2 times the rate for whites."

[rhombus]

Actually if Max would take a look at the video that came out... it involves the cops catching perps.

[SAMS]

OK, don’t care what kind of reviews this movie gets; I’m going to go pay good money to see it!

[ejonesie22]

Sweet Jesus, liberals are just stupid.

Oh STFU idiot!

I am so sick of this crap.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Gangsta rap that calls for justice = progressive.

Country songs that call for justice = reactionary.

Morons.

[weegee]

Ted Rall is pro-lynching:

"I don't think it's going to send people to the barricades to string up CEOs or anything. Unfortunately." - Ted Rall

[Joe 6-pack]

The curious thing is that Keith, while definitely pro-WOT and pro-troop is otherwise, not all that right-leaning and IIRC, is actually a registered ‘rat.

[mylife]

But songs by Snoop Doggie Poop and Ludacrisp are anthems for the delusional left

[13Sisters76]

Blumenthal is just scared of real men who don’t live in Mom’s basement and wear jammies all day.

[mojito]

I saw this smear the other day. Blumenthal was also on his high horse over at HuffPo (where else?) because Keith said in an interview that some black people think Obama “acts white,” which I'm sure is true, but Keith is not allowed to say such things.

Blumenthal jumps from there to saying that Keith's song advocates lynching - on the Colbert Report, no less.

Well I'm sure glad a whiner and fantasist like Blumenthal was able to set everyone straight.

[RC2]

Well, well, well. This guy just admitted that the people of this country know how to take care of problems and the politicians and liberals don’t. Amazing what happens when the truth comes out.

[DManA]

Call me cynical but this sounds like a manufactured controversy to drum up interest in his movie.

[Tammy8]

The liberals hate Toby Keith because he is a conservative and he is not bashful about it. He is a great supporter of our troops. They just don’t get it at all. Jerks.
