#1 Of course it isn't aimed at Bush -- it's aimed at the Untermenschen who voted him into office... twice.

#2 In short, of course not; he'll be GLAD to take our money anyway, without regard to political leanings.

(Or in other words: he thinks those opposed to him are stupid.)

#3 Also... I'm beginning to dislike the term "neocon;" it's beginning to look like a term invented by the liberals and isolationists to suggest that anyone who disagrees with them isn't normal or even a conservative.

Bah; he can't get no neuron action....

#4 I care little for the idiot Jagger, his ramblings, and his whacky spawn. There was a time when he had some talent but that was over 25 years ago.

#7 PF: Also... I'm beginning to dislike the term "neocon;" it's beginning to look like a term invented by the liberals and isolationists to suggest that anyone who disagrees with them isn't normal or even a conservative.

It's a term invented by anti-American liberals and conservatives to describe pro-American liberals and conservatives. How can you tell that someone is an anti-American conservative? When he criticizes actions taken to further American interests. You can be anti-war and pro-American - the problem with a lot of anti-war conservatives is that they're anti-war and anti-American. The anti-war and pro-American conservatives don't have a problem with beating the crap out of America's enemies. The anti-war and anti-American conservatives seem to think that stomping America's enemies is some kind of exceptional practice, and line their arguments with leftist criticisms of American foreign policy.

#8 I look forward to Sir Jagger's leadership on the nuclearization of Iran.

#9 Mick's just pissed that some people thought Bono should be head of the World Bank, and no one nominated him (so much for his education at the London School of Economics, eh?).

#10 I'm so sick of the damn libs saying that Bush and the republicans throw them in jail for speaking out. They repute that statement everytime they walk off stage and go home to a quiet night. If we were throwing people in jail, the libs wouldn't make it off stage and would dissappear after a group of police dragged them off.

Asshats...
Please just die already Jagger, you fuckin' old mick.

#11 In terms the senile rocker can understand, FOAD. The Rolling Stones havn't done anything creative since 1974 and since the aging babyboomers who have tried to regain their youth by watching the geriatric posturings of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are starting to die out, Jagger decided to do a Dixie Chick for publicity, thinking that there are enough of the Michael Moore crowd to boost album sales. If he had thought that through, he would have realized that he had just alienated over half the US market and that the other half, while generous with other people's money, keep their own wallets in their pockets. So, Mick, get off of my cloud.

#13 Funny thing is when I see Mick Jagger I always think of that movie FREEJACK where Jagger went around hunting down the hero. Now the movie was probably intended as a sly attack against capitalism but it seemed much more like a Socialist-communist nation to me. Masses in poverty with elites living in wealth is something far more common in Soviet style communism than any of the western nations.

Misguided fools then and now.

#14 The thing that bugs me is not that he's a left-wing jackass. So are plenty of other people, and they have a right to be. What bothers me is that he thinks I'm stupid. "It is not really aimed at anyone," he says. Okay, Mick! If you don't have the courage to admit you're a pinko, then you're not being honest, and I don't respect that.

#15 I bet the song's aimed at Sec. Rice, but he already wrote a song called "Brown Sugar".

#16 And this middle finger pointed at a mossy, big lipped, over-rated BritishRock has-been isn't directed at Micky, either...

#17 That half that doesn't support this kind of @#$% now has to put up with these guys, compliments of the NFL. Wonder if they will be singing this song in Irving, TX before a game?

#18 Sorry, just the early onset Alzheimers kicking in. I love everybody who can pay.
Besides, Keith wrote it, and who knows what'll come out of that drug addled mind of his. Damn commie. So get off my arse, okay?

#20 just pimping their new album/tour with contrived controversy. Of course, when I want to discuss American foreign policy, I usually turn to non-college educated foreign artists. They do know best....ask Bianca

#21 the worst part is that we will be forced to listen to this song on our radios - thanks to payola or however else they get it on there. Just like the Bitchy Chix. And yeah, I'll flip the channel - if I notice enough to care.

Outside of my now having negative feelings about songs I USED to like, - this controversy is just a big ol' yawn.

#22 Hey Mick,
Show us you care. Donate all profits from the new album to the starving kids.

#23 My brother, the AF Major, liked their song Highwire. What in Heck happened?

#24 I completely understand why the Rolling Stones don't like Bush. The Dems keep telling them that Bush is going to cut back on their Social Security checks.
