Boycott Madonna Over Remarks?

[countryboy]

I thought it was interesting to see Newt Gingrich refer to Madonna as a "left-wing fascist." Fascism, by definition is a government that stifles and restricts opposition. That's exactly what Gingrich is suggesting the government do to Madonna. So who's the fascist here?

I wouldn't use the word "boycott", but I might pull Madonna for a little bit just because my listeners might not want to hear someone so vile for a while.

I think she cares...I think she said what she said so that it will get people talking about her again, she hasn't had a hit in what? Over 10 years? she is so desperate to stay relevant, and constantly latching onto other younger artists success stories....no one cares about her music anymore, her last album hasn't even gone gold...no loss if you quit playing her music in my opinion.

There are a lot of people just like her who haven't had hits in a long time who get airplay every day. Should they get banned too? My question is should we be making music decisions based on our own political bias? That includes should we play Toby Keith because he performed for the inauguration, and then drop Madonna because she is opposed?

"BTW: reporters have been arrested at the event that Madonna was at for "inciting a riot" because they were caught telling people to do things so they could record it for the news."

Really? Do you have a reference for that?

The story you linked was not about the Madonna demonstration, but rather the inauguration. That was the day before. There were no journalists that I'm aware of arrested during the January 21st women's march. Also, according to your story, they were not filming for news, but rather some independent online documentary.

"dare one could draw the conclusion that Madonna's statement about blowing up the White House falls directly under the category named above."

So now you're placing yourself as the Supreme Court? I don't think so. Look if you want to ban some singer because you don't like her politics, go ahead. I don't care. But she has the right to say whatever she wants, even if you don't like it. It's been a week, and no one has arrested her for what she said. So obviously it's not a crime. Even if you think it is.

Oh please spare me the bullshit, the court has ruled on multiple occasions that free speech has limits or can you not read? She does NOT have the right to say whatever she wants, but if you wanna stare blatantly into the facts and deny them go right ahead.

Research is your friend, you should actually try it sometime.

Does radio need Madona?

The fact is she was not arrested. That is the fact. So if she was not arrested, what she said is not a crime. She can say whatever she wants. So can you. Until someone arrests her or sues her, she is a free person, able to say and do whatever she wants. You can deny that all you want, but it's the fact. The Court has ruled on many things, but not this. Until they do, it's just your opinion. Your opinion isn't the law. It's been a week. Has anyone filed charges against her? Show me.

Here's a fact for you:

YOU'RE AN EGOTISTICAL IDIOT

Sometimes investigations take longer than a week. I've CITED for you how free speech has limits. You, in all your backwoods redneck glory, come on threads like this patting yourself on the back because you think you know everything.

You're wrong.

1. Just because someone has not been arrested does not mean they haven't broken the law

2. Free Speech has limits

3. I'm done with you as I don't suffer narrow minded fools
