19. Willie !

Some years back ,indeed a few of those ,back when the tea party was getting up and fired up Willie thought we ought to have us a TEA POT PARTY ! Form a tea pot party ! The party of the truth about all the lies. A party of unity not conformity.The party wheedling the power of persuasion,the party of kindness winning over the uninformed .
Was it just a thought ? Or did something like that actually happen once upon a time ?

I saw this bumper sticker just the other day,it said, Mean People Suck !

21. Willie N. listens to and is sensitive toward all kinds of people.

That's the Willie that I love.

This is one of my favorites:

[951-Riverside]

25. Rumor has it Willie is also a great fan of Right Wing Conspiracy nut Alex Jones

[Docreed2003]

30. Any proof to that claim?

Willie has certainly been interviewed by AJ, but where is there proof that he's a supporter?? I'm not asking with snark, it's a legitimate question. Because the Willie Nelson I know is far from the Alex Jones spectrum of fucktardry

[melman]

32. This picture was taken when Willie ran into Jones and Dave Mustaine at a diner in Austin

Country music legend Willie Nelson is always up for a collaboration, but this one takes the cake. The 79-year-old music icon recently ran into Dave Mustaine— the frontman for the thrash metal band Megadeth — at a restaurant in Texas, leading to the metal guitarist suggest a guest appearance for Nelson on the group’s upcoming album.

Megadeth have been working on a new project titled ‘Super Collider,’ and on March 28 Mustaine bumped into Nelson in Austin, where the singer lives and the metal guitarist was apparently house hunting. Also present was Mustaine’s friend, outlandish conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, pictured with Mustaine and Nelson above.

“Willie Nelson is in the restaurant I am eating at. I just met him! How cool is this???” Mustaine posted to Twitter. A few minutes later he added, “I’m talking to Willie about a guest appearance on ‘The Blackest Crow.’”

31. Hey G_j... Sorry Your Thread Got Hijacked...

Post #12 and down from there.

It had to do with me, and I hate that it happened to you.

[G_j]

40. no biggie..

though it's a bit of shame that a few seemed to miss the positive intent of the OP.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. He also supports marijuana legalization.

Be nice if our party's self-described 'leadership' could catch a clue or three from the guy.

[joshcryer]

36. It'll likely be in the platform. 4 states legalized, another 11+ on the ballot.

There's got to be at least one delegate that supports it at the convention, and any delegates can add language to the platform. By putting it in the platform (along side some kind of end the war on drugs thing), it'd also bring out a lot of young voters.

[BlueMTexpat]

39. And I, for one, am a great Willie fan! eom

[bklyncowgirl]

41. I'm with Willie. I can't get a hate on for anyone I'm going to have to vote for.

I support Bernie because he's honest and closer to me on the issues but I see much to admire in Hillary so if she wins the nomination I will vote for her gladly.

[TacoD]

42. My sentiments exactly (nt)

[Spitfire of ATJ]

43. He put Bernie first.

[Mendocino]

44. I'd like him more

if he stopped performing at rodeos.

[MADem]

45. I'd love to see a woman become President before I die--Roseanne Cash. nt

[WIProgressive88]

46. Good for Willie. I am backing Bernie because his views are closest to my own. I disagree with

Hillary on a number of things, but I do like her and will be happy to vote for her if she is the nominee. We should be proud to have three good Democratic candidates to choose from while the other side continues its never-ending shitshow.

[Sunlei]

49. We all Love you Willie Nelson
