Comments on: Foo Fighters Get Their Knickers In A Twist Over John McCain http://www.hecklerspray.com/foo-fighters-get-their-knickers-in-a-twist-over-john-mccain/200816619.php Grown Up Gossip & Internet Villainy Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:16:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Gilbert Wham http://www.hecklerspray.com/foo-fighters-get-their-knickers-in-a-twist-over-john-mccain/200816619.php/comment-page-1#comment-645474 Gilbert Wham Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:22:48 +0000 http://www.hecklerspray.com/?p=16619#comment-645474 No, Kirk. McCain did not fight for anyone's 'right to free speech'. He got shot down whilst fighting in a deeply nasty, overblown war-by-proxy with the russians where the US had their asses handed to them by a peasant army. However, as ironlung so gracefully pointed out, free speech applies to everyone. Even people to whom you take umbrage. Anyhoo, he'll be dead by this time next year, and that loon Palin will be packed off back to Alaska never to be heard of again, so fuck 'em. Also, I thought that Heart letter wasn't real? Sadly, Dave Grohl is. No, Kirk. McCain did not fight for anyone’s ‘right to free speech’.

I tried to focus on most of the above comments, but was unable to. My eyes just kind of skated off them, and if I tried too hard, I fell asleep. Some of them seemed to take themselves seriously. Anyway... he should use some country n western. Billy ray Cyrus! John Couger Mellencamp! Or someone dead, who can't complain! Mozart! Louis Armstrong! Wow.

They only said they were not asked before the song was used. Which gives them every right to be angry and not want to allow them to use the song. Whether they (Foo fighters) are dem or reb is not the issue. Patrick,

Every artist in America has asked the McCain camp not to use their music, but they do it anyways. Anyone with an ounce of respect would ask first. Right? Not really Patrick.

They are basically saying that if you don't subscribe to their political affiliations then you're not allowed to enjoy their music. That's very shallow. Here’s where the Foo Fighters lose my respect.

OBAMA!

The funny thing is that Grohl was saying John could use that song... but YOU are the one who says John McCain has stubby little arms. LOL "Do you know why he has “Stubby little arms”?" Regardless this is yet another example of the John McCain campaign stealing intellectual property. Along with Van Halen's "Right Now, John Hall's "Still the One", Heart's "Barracuda" (Shall I continue?) OK.. I shall: Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty", John Mellencamp's "Our Country" as well as John Mellencamp, "Pink House"... He's been given orders stop using the "Rocky" theme song illegally, "Cant Keep My Eyes Off Of You" as well as being asked to not use footage of Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey's characters from waynes world in his advertisements. He's a thief and a liar: plain and simple. Kirk,

Perhaps the RIAA should go after him. Or at least the artists should sue as the NFL or MLB has been suing the churches for having the "super bowl" or "World series" parties without the express written consent of the appropriate league.

Are you kidding me? Should we now poke fun at all physically handicapped politicians just because we disagree with them? Do you know why he has "Stubby little arms"? I think you should apologize for that statement. But then again, he got those arms upholding your right to free speech. I hope you have to live through a world were you cannot say what you want when you want. Then you will realize how good you have it. Kirk Stuart,
