Toby Keith on Bin Laden's death: "It's a great day to be an American"
The Oklahoman ^ | May 3, 2011 | Brandy McDonnell

“It’s a great day to be an American,” Toby Keith declared Monday while touring the Middle East.

After the death of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, the Oklahoma country music superstar became a trending topic Monday on the popular microblogging site Twitter.

Oklahoma music superstar and military supporter Toby Keith says, ‘It’s a great day to be an American’ after learning of bin Laden’s death

The Norman resident is visiting U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East on his ninth United Service Organization/Armed Forces Entertainment tour. He was without cellphone service for a time after President Barack Obama’s announcement Sunday that bin Laden, the mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, had been killed in a firefight with Navy SEALs in Pakistan.

Yet Toby Keith is a Democrat that supports people who were against the Bush Administration Terrorist interrogation policies.

I'm glad he is entertaining the Troops, but he is just another Libtard Hypocrite to me.

It was always great to be an American.

But I s’pose that since Miichelle allows you to, you can now be proud of your country, hmm?

Toby Keith; "I don't apologize for being patriotic... If there is something socially incorrect about being patriotic and supporting your troops, then they can kiss my ass on that, because I'm not going to budge on that at all. And that has nothing to do with politics. Politics is what's killing America."

Yes, I've always been a bit skeptical of Toby Keith.

He just performed here in Baghdad a couple of weeks ago to a huge crowd and he seems to genuinely support the troops. A lot of his lyrics sound fiercely patriotic (and some are also quite raunchy).

I could really like this guy if he didn't support the Democrats.

But I don't really trust anybody who would support those engaged in destroying all that is truly American.

"Yet Toby Keith is a Democrat..."

Last I knew, Keith was a registered Independent.

Even if a Democrat, most OK Dems are a different breed than east or west coast dems.

Every day is a great day to be an American, Toby. We conservatives celebrate every day we spend under the red, white and blue, and we never forget how God blessed us with this land of freedom and opportunity.

GOD bless you... and we can’t wait to hear some of the things that you can share with us once you are home for good. I mean this... you should seriously think about writing a book... it would be a best seller.

I began my book about a year and a half ago. :)

I'm well into the rough draft and will spend some time finishing it, refining it and then joining a writers' group to get the proper feedback before doing what I hope will be the final revision. :)

Just Googled him. He registered as an Independent before the 2008 Election, yet he supported Obama’s Election.

I guess he thought the Democrat Party was going to far to the Left so he supported the Middle of the Road Candidate.

I'm to the point that I don't talk to Family members who supported the One, so Toby can do what he wants. I'm glad he is entertaining the same people that the President was willing to throw under the Bus during the Budget negotiations a few weeks ago.

Hi all! I was sitting not even three feet from Toby when I heard him say that he thought Obama was a good candidate for the Democrat party, but he never endorsed him. In fact in that same conversation, he said that he “loved” Sarah Palin. But the “left” wanted to grab hold of the headlines and claimed Toby supported Obama. He never did.

I don’t want Toby to be painted with the wrong colors. Internet info doesn’t always tell the whole story.

(Can you tell I love me some Toby Keith?!)

Peace!

I appreciate your input on this. I only posted what I read and heard about his support for Obama and his Politics.

If I am wrong, I will be the first to admit it.
