Someone tell MALLOY that U2 is NOT playing a benefit for Santorum..

[Rosco T.]

From what I found out, Santorum's people BOUGHT UP TICKETS for a skybox and are RESELLING THEM TO THE FOOLISH FAITHFUL as a fund raiser..

you know, THEY'VE SCALPING TICKETS!!

Bono & U2 are not officially involved with any of this.

3. Better yet tell U2

They will be quick to make a statement about this!

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Do you have their email adress?

I can make sure tehy get the article from news crap

[Stephanie]

9. better to find send it to their label or their manager

or their publicist - that should be searchable

[jzodda]

11. Not easy to find

I spent an hour trying to find an email

His manager Paul MCGuiness and the company that represents the band
Principle Management Limited have no website or email address that I could find. I was sooooo mad when I read that newsmax lie I sent them an angry email. All I could find was to send a comment to the webmaster of the U2.com website, but thats it

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. I sent it to them, as I had the same problem

[Stephanie]

16. their label is Interscope

Interscope Geffen A&M Records

http://www.interscope.com/artists/

17. the idea of U2 and especially Bono being knowingly involved...

with fund-raising for Santorum is laughable.

If this gets any media attention at all (and it's so transparent it probably won't anyway), it will backfire BIG TIME.

4. Thank You . . .

when after searching Lexis-Nexis, and newspapers throughout Pennsylvania, and all that Google News will bring up is NewsMax, I knew something had to be wrong. This is why NewsMax gets "legitimacy," we all just gave that site which just like Matt Drudge's should be ignored, bunches of hits to justify its existence. Blech. :P

6. That's exactly what I said this afternoon.

7. somebody is tellng him this is nonesense

and just gave us a plug

[eleny]

10. Those fans will get an education - Santorum will regret all this

I can imagine how the concert will go once Bono learns of this scheme.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. I just sent the newscrap article to them

:popcorn:

[shenmue]

15. Now that sounds like what could have happened

Because I know the band would never willingly and consciously support Santorum. It isn't the group's fault if some knuckleheads are scalping tickets. Anybody can buy a ticket and anybody can sell it. Sounds like a typical snarky neo-Republican thing to do.

18. I would have called Malloy except.....

fucking XM still doesn't air him live, because they haven't ditched the FAUX shill Colmes yet. And I didn't know about this bullshit story until I got online.

Like I said in the other thread, the day U2 endorses a Republican is the same day I join the DLC.
