Touré: Prince Was a 'Conservative' and 'Republican'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/22/2016 4:28:09 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Will this stem the MSM's flood of deserved praise for Prince? It turns out that Touré--better known in these parts as a former spoke in MSNBC's since-cancelled Cycle--is also a Prince biographer, his book published in 2013.

Appearing on With All Due Respect today, Touré cited two sources: Prince's former sound engineer, and a member of his band, for the proposition that Prince was a "conservative" and a "Republican." Touré embraced the notion himself, but offered a pejorative notion of what it means to be a conservative: "I am making money, I'm successful, I want this money and this success protected . . . When you are rich, you want status quo."

VERY well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know where you live, but you should have heard all the “conservatives” on talk radio (WMAL, Washington, DC) going on and on about this guy.

You do NOT have to hate prince (small p), you do not have to loathe him, you CAN even feel a bit of remorse at the passing of somebody so young, but this NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to carry on in histrionics every single GD time some celebrity dies????!!!!! What the hell is up with that????

He was a liberal racist democrat. We need not celebrate his death, BUT, there is no need to act as if the world is a colder, darker place without his God-like presence.

“Our”? He was a racist liberal democrat who wrote a tribute song to Freddie Gray and Michael Brown, sung in front of feral urban yutes in Baltimore as they rioted and destroyed the lives of innocent cops.

Well, that's your opinion and in some respects I agree.

Me? After work every Friday is my music night and my only drinking night. Prince will be in my rotation tonight.

“I LOVE Springsteen’s music, but he’s still sub-human, anti-American, filth; lower than monkey vomit and absolutely revolting.”

I have a bud at Live Nation who was giving away those tickets for FREE here in L.A. but I turned it down. Because I hate that lib asshole. He later offered Iggy Pop tix which I accepted..

His lyrics to “America” made it obvious long ago he wasn’t liberal leaning.

How about the love song he wrote to Freddie Gray and Michael Brown? What did that make obvious?

I’m sorry... I don’t mean to diminish your Friday night relaxation time. FNRT is important to me, too.
