Freshly announced presidential candidate Ted Cruz has made news with his claim that he became a fan of country music after rock-and-roll music disappointed him with its response to the Sept. 11 attacks. The MSNBC afternoon program Now with Alex Wagner used Cruzs music comments as the jumping-off point for a discussion among guest host Ari Melber, Joan Walsh, Michael Steele and Jamilah Lemieux. Nothing says Lets go kill some Muslims like country music, said Lemieux in kicking off the festivities. The comment came off as something packaged, premeditated. While Walsh and Steele giggled, Melber remained stone-faced, vouching for the pluralism of the genre. Well, but I mean, theres plenty of country music that doesnt have that message, he said.

..this "award winner" has a huge problem stopping her mouth and fingers overriding her racist brain....back in 2014 as senior editor of Ebony the mag had to apologize for her tweet ..Lemieux has been widely criticized for mistakenly identifying the African-American Williams as a white dude and for describing conservatives as a house full of roaches. Raffi Williams is bkack

I had no idea. I'll have to check out this "new" country music thingy. Thought it was all about red dirt, trucks and chicks in tank tops.
But seriously, I listen to very little rock or country made after the 80's.

So I am thinking about that scene near the end of “Mars Attacks” with the crooner music making the invaders’ heads explode. Does that mean all we have to do with ISIS is blare Patsy Cline or Alan Jackson or George Jones at them and we’ll get the same effect?

Can’t unring a bell.
Deep-six the program and charge the “guest” with hate speech.
