So, it's come to my attention that Sean Hannity is sponsoring a series of "Freedom Concerts," tickets for which would make "perfect Christmas gifts," apparently, for everyone on your Christmas list of whom you have a low opinion. Billy Ray Cyrus will headline these events, and will be supported by country music legends The Charlie Daniels Band, Christian-contemporary performer Michael W. Smith, sun-ripened beef jerky husk Lee Greenwood, and Oliver North, who will, I guess, be playing a Moog accompaniment to "the Whitey tape." The concerts are in support of...freedom? I guess? Though probably the "supplies are limited some restrictions apply void where prohibited (cf. Prop 8 for further details)" brand of "freedom."

1. Wow. How did Hannity manage to line up such a collection of A-list talent?

:rofl:

[Ilsa]

3. Yeah, had to reach all the way back into the 1970's. nt

[BlueJazz]

18. Damn..That's Good!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Ilsa]

2. And those of us with no interest in attending must be against "freedom"

I suppose.

Actually, this is great. Let's send alot of tickets to KKKlan members and encourage them to attend and bring their gear. Same thing with the American Nazi Youth movement. And call the media.

4. I saw a clip of his "acting".

He is wise to be doing what washed-up and talentless musicians and comedians seem to do when it hits them that their careers are teetering on the edge of the toilet:

Start blowing the right-wing with total abandon.

It's the last stop before a gutter and a bottle of MD 20/20.

5. Never heard of Michael W. Smith, BR Cyrus is a "never was"

Lee Greenwood is known only for writing the most saccharine song ever in a genre based on saccharine songs, Charlie Daniels is a complete asshole who made some decent music back in the day. And I would not walk across the street to see Oliver North do anyfuckingthing unless it was maybe to get beheaded on a 18th century guillotine.

Glad I still have the "freedom" to say fuck no to the freedom concerts.

6. Are the tickets "FREE"..or someone making some money off this????

very cynical comment....

Might Billy Ray's actions alienate a significant portion of Miley's fanbase? The answer is: probably not! After all, Miley's tween audience probably couldn't care less about Sean Hannity, and their parents, who may care, have basically established themselves as ineffectual money-fonts who live to get pushed around by their children anyway -- hence the existence of Miley Cyrus.

7. Freedom from Your Hard Earned Money for This Crap concerts....

.... I'd rather listen to karaoke.

[pocoloco]

8. Oh my God...

he'll probably sing "Achy Breaky Heart".

[a la izquierda]

17. Last summer I heard a Mexican version of

Achy Breaky Heart.

I wanted to jump off the boat I was on. An entire boatload of Mexicans doing that stupid ass line dance.

[The Gunslinger]

9. I guess Ted Nugent was booked at a county fair that night.

[ACTION BASTARD]

13. What an amazing cavalcade of washed-up losers, 1 hit wonders and all country music

too I see. Oh and 1 singing cross-humper that 99% of the country has never heard about.

Oh and Ted is too busy chasing pre-teens. He's a well know kiddie toucher backstage when he toured back in the day.

10. Poor Obama only has James Taylor and Bruce Springsteen.

They just don't have the star power of Billy Ray Cyrus and Michael W. Smith.

:sarcasm:

[salguine]

11. Maybe Joe The Plumber will have his band, 10,000 Flushes, in shape in time for the show.

[camera obscura]

12. I am SO not surprised. BRC is a typical Republican freak.

Celebrity gossip is my guilty pleasure. Cyrus is a creeper... letting his underage daughter date a guy way older than her. Oh and he was present when Miley was being photographed shirtless for Vanity Fair. Weeeeirdo.

[AlCzervik]

14. Gee is Oliver North going to do a poetry reading?

[Initech]

20. Cause if anyone knows freedom...... it's fuckin' Oliver North.

[FVZA_Colonel]

15. A stellar entry in the catalog of "gifts for people you hate" indeed.

[Initech]

16. Wow, that is a greater lineup than any Woodstock or Coachella ever!

:sarcasm:

[Dukkha]

19. I can hear the playlist now

“America! Fuck Yeah!”

“ I Was Made For Loving You Jesus”

“Feelin’ Good Without Health Care”

“Go Back To Mexico”

“KILL HIM!”

“Fight My War For Me”

“Come Rapture Away”

“Playing With The Boys (that way)”
