Hilarious Freeper thread on Ashley Simpson
Edited on Sun Oct-24-04 01:51 AM by Zuni
many are being urged not to criticze her because her family is 'Republican and Christian' and she might be a 'Bush supporter.'

Others are claiming that the 'liberals' who run SNL did this to make her look bad because she might be a 'Christian Republican'.

1. Huh?
You mean like they sabatoged Schwarzenegger when he wasw on the show? Or Jessica Simpson? Geez.

And who knows, everybody on the Right thought Mandy Moore was a Republican, only to have that denied by her spokesperson. She attended a Kerry fundraiser earlier this year.

3. So my visceral hatred for her was not only derived from her music...
...what was the stupid riverdance thing she did before she walked off?

4. Damn thats a good reason to like her
If i had known the lovely and talented Ashlee had such impressive credentials i would have overlooked the fact that she has obtained celebrity status thru her use of the dumbing down of America.........

6. They've run up 190+ posts on a friggin' pop star!
1) She has at least as good a voice as her sister.

2) A lot of performers with rigorous routines lip synch at least part of their shows.

3) Freepers have dedicated over 180 posts to this bullshit.

:wtf:

12. LOL!
Forevermore, whenever someone writes that Ashlee Simpson sang a song, "sang" will have to be in quotes. :D

11. They did find a good quote though
From Lucky Magazine interview:

LM: What are your takes on lip-synching?

AS: I'm totally against it and offended by it. I'm going out to let my real talent show, not to just stand there and dance around. Personally, I'd never lip-synch. It's just not me.


Ahhh, hypocrisy...

13. Well, tonight she was just standing there.
I guess that's the extent of her "talent."

14. incapable of thought...
Those Freepers... I just checked out that thread. It seems that their bashing of her is conditional upon her being a Repug or a Dem. Those who think she's a Repug are defending her, and others outright state that she deserves it because she's a Dem.

I'm reserving judgment because we don't know- She might be having a throat problem for all we know. I used to sing professionally and quit several years ago because of a condition I have called vocal chord dysfunction, which mimics asthma. It started really messing with my voice, and the slightest cold or allergy trouble would give me laryngitis.

Either way, my judgment of her talent has nothing to do with her political party. That's just stupid.

16. no kidding...
Seeing this stuff reminds me of one of the reasons I'm a liberal. Even at my most angry, I just can't summon the hatred that these people embody. They are some of the meanest people I've ever seen.

18. I feel sorry for her
I mean, it was wrong to lip-synch and blame the band - but she just went 4X platinum and probably could see her career going down the drain. In the pop world, sometimes it's a cruel fame at all costs world.

And she's a Kerry supporter, prettier than Jessica, and sounds better than Jessica on record.
