Freepers on hate-radio show in uproar: Huey Lewis endorsed John Kerry

[wyldwolf]

Yeah... THAT Huey Lewis:

Folks-

I have never before endorsed a Presidential candidate publicly, nor do I think it's a generally good idea for celebrities to do so, but I'm endorsing John Kerry for President. I think the war in Iraq was ill conceived, has been proven to be a big mistake, and it's time for a new team to try to internationalize the fight against terrorism, and restore respect for the United States. It's so sad to remember that after 9/11 the whole world empathized with us. I don't believe Bush or Cheney or Rumsfeld are malicious, but I believe they got it wrong in Iraq, and it's time for a change.

1. Proves it!

It's hip to be Square!

[physioex]

2. I like Huey Lews...

Call me a dork. But I don't understand why get all worked up over a singer that isn't popular any more?

[candy]

11. I'm with you---who cares?

[jobycom]

25. I do. It's at least one more vote. And maybe a few hundred fans.

[VolcanoJen]

3. Horrors!!! What's next, Hootie, or The Blowfish?

}(

[ibegurpard]

4. Well at least they have Wayne Newton and Pat Boone.

:P

[VOX]

12. Too late! Hootie AND the Blowfish were/are John Edwards backers...

So, they're also lost to the tentacles of the Democratic beastie.

What a world! :toast:

[democratreformed]

5. All right!

He's one of my favorites.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

6. good for huey

his music sucks, but he always seemed like an ok guy

[Warren DeMontague]

18. My Respect For Huey Lewis

Went up several notches when he was scheduled to play some benefit in the late 80s or early 90s with the Grateful Dead, and he said something to the effect of "A Hell of a lot more people want to hear you guys than do me- take my time"...

But, seriously, more respect for the guy. Good for him. I don't know about you guys, but Everyone's welcome on my ship of sinkin' George W. Bush.

[Zorra]

7. "The heart of rock and roll is still beating..." Yea, Huey.

[Cocoa]

13. so that's how that goes

i could never figure out what came after "the heart of rock and roll is ..."

[Qutzupalotl]

15. Misheard lyric

They say the harder rock 'n roll is forbidden.

[against all enemies]

8. So that's the "News"

Michael(?) Ramone told all the fans of The Ramones to vote Bush out on Stern's Radio Show. If every band tells every fan to vote Bush out it has to help. Every vote counts cause not every vote is counted.

[AntiCoup2K4]

26. That would probably be Marky Ramone

It can't be Johnny - he's a Busheep Republican unfortunately. And of course, Joey and Dee Dee are no longer eligible to vote - except in certain Florida precincts, probably :eyes:

[gratuitous]

9. It's over, George!

You got the Dixie Chicks, the Pope and Huey Lewis against you. Time to read the writing on the wall or the lines on the mirror, buddy.

[seabeyond]

14. when did the pope turn on bush

i though he just forgave him and was embracing him

[AntiCoup2K4]

27. Forgiveness is the Pope's job (at least according to Catholic doctrine)

...but that doesn't mean JP let Junior off the war for Iraq, and I believe he went off on the Chimp when half-assed monkey boy visted the Vatican.

[Susang]

10. Damn, now I can't hate him anymore!

Shit! ;-)

[Arugula Latte]

16. That's it! It's in the bag for Kerry!

We got the all-important Huey Lewis endorsement! Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief ...

[Steely_Dan]

21. LOLOLOLOLOL

I'm still laughing!

-Paige

[Jade Fox]

17. I want a new drug, one that'll take Bush away!

One that won't let'em tap my phone
Or make me pray all day

[Wind Dancer]

20. LOL! n/t

[stevedeshazer]

19. Washed-Up Rock Stars for Kerry!

Another demographic locked up.

[AntiCoup2K4]

28. Not all washed up rockstars though

Sammy Hagar and The "Nuge" are committed Busheep.

[Dob Bole]

22. We could spin this....

Vote for Kerry, and get back to the future!

You know, Huey Luis....Back to the Future soundtrack...
aww @#$%

[carrowsboy]

23. Rush & Noelle will be peeved

Isn't Huey's "I Want A New Drug" their favorite song?

[AntiCoup2K4]

24. Why would Freepazoids care what Huey Lewis said?

Did they think he was one of them or something?

Nah if Huey was a Repuke he would have done songs like "Sponging Off Daddy For A Living" "I Want A New Pharmaceutical Company" and "It's Hip To Be a Traitorous Neocon Fascist"

[progressivebydesign]

29. It's hip to be hip!

Cool! Huey Lewis is doing a big winery concert up this way (Seattle), he's a huge draw, still, for the 40 somethings... Gotta love him!
