“Try That in a Small Town”: CMT’s Tone Deaf Censorship of Jason Aldean Cannot Stand
YouTube screenshot

Below is my column in the Hill on the censorship of Jason Aldean’s hit single “Try That in a Small Town” by Country Music Television (CMT). Advocates are taking credit for the cancel campaign and, like CMT, appear tone deaf to the implications (and the response) to this censorship.

Here is the column:

Country music singer Jason Aldean’s hit single “Try That in a Small Town” secured two distinctions this week. It hit number one on the country charts, and it was pulled by Country Music Television (CMT).

Putting aside CMT’s effort to become the Bud Light of music networks, the decision to yield to the intense cancel campaign is an abandonment of principles of artistic freedom and free speech.

The song became the focus of many groups on the left for its criticism of violent protests and criminal acts. The song contrasts the culture of small towns with that of big cities. Aldean sings:

“Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you’re tough.

“Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road.”

Aldean took to Twitter to alert fans of the CMT censorship.

“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous.

There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it — and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage — and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music — this one goes too far.”

Gun control advocates were also outraged by references to the use of a gun to deal with these problems:

“Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they’re gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck.”

I can certainly understand why those lines caused objections. Frankly, I also found them disturbing. However, I also find a lot of anti-cop and gang-banging lyrics disturbing, yet I would oppose any effort to censor such music.

These artists are expressing their view of contemporary events. Protest songs have long played a critical part of our political dialogue, from “Yankee Doodle Dandy” to “War.”

This controversy only helps highlight how the corporate effort to control what people hear or consume is backfiring.

For centuries, the adage that “you can bring a horse to water but you can’t make it drink” has been a warning to those who seek to compel others to live or act in particular ways. Today, that adage could well be “you cannot make them drink Bud Light, eat Ben & Jerry’s ice cream or shop at Target.”

We are seeing an intriguing rise of consumer politics as average people express their opposition through their purchases and market choices. It is Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” at work, but on a political level. These days, that invisible hand seems to be giving a middle finger to corporate censorship and social agendas.

Corporations have long known that their social and political agendas were unpopular with many consumers. But they gambled that consumers would not boycott Disney theme parks or NFL games. They are a captive audience — people will want to ride Space Mountain or watch the Bears play.

However, that is not the case when there are fungible or alternative products. Bud Light is an example. The company is still in free-fall with customers after Alissa Heinerscheid, vice president of marketing for Bud Light, pledged to change the beer companies “fratty reputation and embrace inclusivity.” She succeeded beyond her wildest dreams. After the company celebrated the transitioning of transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, beer drinkers opted for other brands.

For many consumers, the rejection appears as much about corporate social activism as transgender politics. Every time irate beer drinkers pick up Modelo Especial instead of Bud Light, they feel a sense of satisfaction — a political chaser with their beer. (Modelo has now passed Bud Light as America’s most popular brand.)

Ben & Jerry’s reportedly lost $2 billion after celebrating the July 4th by shaming the United States over “stolen” Indian lands and demanding the return of Mount Rushmore. The same phenomenon appears to be playing out with corporations like Target, which has lost billions after a similar controversy.

CMT may be closer to the NFL than Bud Light. There are few alternatives for country music listeners. However, there are some, from YouTube to direct purchases. The latter seems to be the choice of many, as the song skyrocketed to the top of the charts after CMT’s censorship.

For many, CMT (which has its headquarters in One Astor Plaza in New York City) is out of touch not only with the small town culture of Aldean, but also with its consumer base.

As consumers tank brands such as Bud Light, and as companies such as Disney experience significant drops in profits, shareholders may become vocal about these decisions. Even if they are agnostic about free speech, they tend to be devout when it comes to profits.

CMT is unlikely to be as defiant as Disney. While many families objected to Disney’s social agenda, the size of the corporation is so large and it is sufficiently diversified that it can take a market hit that would crush most other companies. CMT is neither diversified nor insulated to the same extent. It is closer to Bud Light. It sells country music, and consumers can find other outlets for their tastes.

By pulling the song, CMT tied its brand to censorship, even if only temporarily. What Bud Light showed is that companies cannot attempt nuanced half-measures. If it is going to avoid a “Bud Light moment,” it has to offer more than a “my bad.”

  1. Outstanding article, Dr. Turley. Your finger is on the pulse of mainstream America. Thank you!

  2. “I can certainly understand why those lines caused objections. Frankly, I also found them disturbing.”

    I’d like to know what Jonathan found disturbing about the cited lyrics. The idea of people fighting to keep their unalienable rights is not only logical, it’s literally how our nation was born.

    1. I agree, those lyrics refer to gun control advocates who would do as much, or more, damage to our constitution as those despicable thug rioters did to cities in 2020. He was only stating a fact and that is why the prog/left is in a rage. He was holding up a mirror to them exposing just what they are and how Americans in small towns have never and will never be accepting that garbage.

      1. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the video just once was this: he included BLM ANTIFA anarchist videos banned by YouTube. Of course the Left is pissed. They can not tolerate their sins being told.

        The Left exists for only one reason which is to organize Inquisitions against others but not follow their own dogmas. More musicians should write music that recounts the anarchy that the DNC-MSM-BLM-ANTIFA sponsored with videos reflecting these events. they would all be hit songs

  3. I think if you watch the video it is very disturbing and really celebrates the culture when the people in small towns took matters into their own hands and subjected outsiders who they viewed as not following the law or way of life to violence. Back in the day, that culture led to a lot of lynchings, and Aldean would have been at the front of the lynching crowd. It would have happened in front of the courthouse where Aldean was filming the video. And no one ever really suffered any consequences for leading a lynch mob. Times change, but some people don’t. He didn’t have to mention lynching – they don’t do that exact thing anymore but blacks still get beat up by cops or local citizenry who think they are being heroes. Ahmaud Aubrey was not lynched, but he was still killed by three guys who thought they were being heroes by assuming a black jogger must be a criminal.

    And sure, all the videos are real news footage. It is always what footage you select. If the video had footage of George Floyd being killed by cops it would be real news footage too and might tell more of the story of why those protests were happening in the first place.

    And no, it is not censorship if CMT does not want to continue to air a disturbing video like this. They are not the government and are not required to promote violence against black people.

    1. People like Houp have no problem with the millions of businesses that were destroyed, many minority businesses, the many people killed or the devastation leveled on inner cities, Houp just has an issue with people being against it??

      Now contrast and compare how Houp feels about protestors/rioters attacking the Capital on Jan 6th. I am against both riots, but leftist fascists like Houp are fine with leftists burning buildings, fire bombing cop cars, fire bombing FEDERAL COURT HOUSES and making it so poor inner city people have no CVS, supermarket or Walmart to shop at.

      Burning a city to the ground is fine, just don’t show it in a video 3 years later because that is violent. The leftist mindset in a nutshell.

      1. One big difference is the people attacking the Capitol had no legitimate reason to attack the Capitol. They lost the election fair and square. Their grievances were entirely based on fiction.

            1. I think you have drunk far too much koolaid and you may want to try some detox before opening your mouth.

            2. @sammy

              How many unarmed blacks do you think are killed per year by police? Thousands? Hundreds? In 2019 It was 14 and this is coming from the bastions of conservatism known as USA Today and Washington Post.

              https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/07/03/police-black-killings-homicide-rates-race-injustice-column/3235072001/

              https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/?itid=lk_inline_manual_5

              Just remember that these poor oppressed people are only protesting a “police culture of murder” as your neighborhood and business is burning. And that the protests are actually mostly peaceful.

              antonio

              1. I notice this statistic excludes killing of armed blacks by police. Do blacks have the same constitutional rights as whites to carry guns or other weapons? If so, should police be allowed to kill them just because they are carrying a gun or other weapon? There are a lot of unjustified killings by police not included in these statistics.

                1. @Houp

                  Hate to break it to you but Blacks at 13% of the US population commit a hugely disproportionate amount of crime. Even the most deluded s@@tlib instinctively knows this, that is why they try to avoid diversity in their personal lives; where they live and send there kids to school.

                  Fortunately being a “good white” does not require getting one’s hand’s dirty, it only requires having the right signs in your yard and publicly holding the “correct” position on racial issues.

                  But just in case you believe otherwise, here is a link to download a publication titled, “The Color of Crime.”

                  https://www.amren.com/the-color-of-crime/

                  And please don’t engage in an ad hominem attack if you don’t like the above source, stick to the facts and refute them. Of course, you won’t, you’ll just call me ‘racist.” And I have said before, that dog won’t hunt. I am Hispanic and cannot be ‘racist’ according to leftist ideology.

                  antonio

                3. Gang ghetto blacks toting weapons and shooting up the streets every week and weekend like in Chicago and all the other big demoncrat cities, black on black gang shootouts drivebys and total mayhem, in barack hussein obamas “clamied hood” south chicago, which barack ignored and probably helped destroy.

                  So to answer your question in demoncrat forever Chicago they do not have the right to carry a handgun. Chicago has that banned, and is one of the nationwide shames of gun violence by blacks, against blacks, and everyone else, including innocents caught in the crossfire.

                  Do police shoot them more often ? THEY SHOULD.

              2. You wrote “unarmed blacks”. This implies that police killing armed blacks is ok. However people like you are the same people who believe that you have a right to carry a gun anywhere you want. What is it? Do you have a right to carry a gun or can police kill you for carrying a gun? Or is only blacks that the police can kill?

                1. From what I’ve seen police almost NEVER respect a citizen carrying any kind of gun, not to mention any kind of weapon what so ever.
                  The exception seems to be large groups – some at political protests. I’ve seen videos large groups of race – yes blacks, toting ar15’s in the street, in marches, political events etc.

                  If we want to talk about cops killing armed blacks unfairly then let’s be honest about matters. We have the gang banging hood in the big cities, all of them. The cops confronting the riff raff in the modern ghettos and high crime low dollar areas are going to shoot more often and ask questions much later if at all.

                  So if I’m shown some stat where armed blacks get shot more often, I’d have to have the context, and we both know what the context is. The rap music tells us the context, promotes the context, and let’s face it the demoncrats policies produce the context.

                  I agree that very often our current police forces, especially in our larger cities are out of control. It’s not just shootouts in the ghettos, it’s across the board right down to traffic stops. The police use their power against the citizens unfairly, often lie, write up false charges, have a thin blue line problem in holding any of their accountable ever, and abuse the stops when the citizens aren’t auditors and don’t know their rights or present “the wrong attitude”. If you do know your rights and stick up for them you get problems that way too. They do not like it.

                  The only answer appears to be, be your nicest, most cooperative, and play along on your best behavior and you might catch a break.

                  So what you whine about to me is a bad joke. You talk about the police being unfair to blacks, but you forgot about the ghetto blacks being unfair to everyone in their orbit and having the reputation of shooting the police and loving it so much half the rap songs extol it. If you were a cop you’d do exactly the same thing the police do in the ghetto, probably worse.

                  Police work needs to be reformed. They abuse their power, lie a lot, on the stand on the paperwork, have huge ego problems, and a tough job no one they encounter as a target in an enforcement scenario is happy about.

                  If you’re gonna whine about unfair police toward blacks, add in the unfair gang ghetto and attitude of blacks.

        2. If Houp is so concerned about fiction, maybe he should read the crime stats more often. The entire “defund the police” hysteria that grew out of the Floyd issue is based on fiction. And the cities that pushed it through are now paying the price and walking back their delusions. As for Jan 6th, there certainly was fraud — maybe not the way Trump described it, but covering up Hunter Biden’s laptop with the collusion of the FBI and the WH was fraud. Biden would certainly have lost that election if the voting public knew then what it knows now — the Bidens are criminals, money launderers and influence peddlers.

          1. Nonsense. No one has changed their mind about voting for Joe Biden after the full contents of Hunter’s laptop. I know MTG is showing Hunter’s dik picks at a Congressional hearing this week, but most people don’t care what Hunter did.

            1. Your statement about voting for the grifter after seeing all the facts just reinforces our understanding of the brainwashed, willfully ignorant status of most prog/left dems. You do not think for yourself, you follow those who send out the checks that keep you enslaved to the government for your livelihood (be it actual welfare or the chains of a government job). To question that ideology would be a step to making yourself an independent free thinker and the prog/left can have none of that.

            2. Stefanik says government illegally censored Hunter Biden laptop story to protect Joe Biden
              “This was illegal government censorship to protect and prop up Joe Biden on the eve of the 2020 election, and according to polling, of people who are now made aware of the Hunter Biden laptop story, 53 percent would have changed their vote, including 61 percent of Democrats.”
              https://justthenews.com/government/congress/stefanik-says-government-illegally-censored-hunter-biden-laptop-story-protect

              Once again, spreading more of your misinformation, disinformation and out right lies.
              I look forward to my comment getting deleted.

            3. @Houp

              Of course, Hunter’s laptop is irrelevant since it does not promote and is a distraction from the leftist narrative. And I bet you were one of those who said it was all disinformation.

              And you are right, to a leftist it is irrelevant for the reason stated at the beginning of this post, it distracts from the leftist narrative. At least be honest and admit it. You won’t of course, you’ll call me some sort of slur.

              I knew it was likely true in 2020 when St. Hunter did not IMMEDIATELY sue for defamation. I would love to have done that discovery deposition.

              antonio

        3. The BLM/ANTIFA rioters didn’t live where they burned the cities down. They didn’t care, just like YOU don’t care that the violence of the left was celebrated and praised by the Vice President, whilst non violent protesters are wasting away in the Progressive gulag. You would have helped put people on the trains back in the day….

        4. I do believe that false narrative of yours is beginning to fall by the wayside – better look for a different interpretation of the great anger in “small town America” as it is rising steadily.

      2. Houp probably sent Money to Kamala to help bail out the rioters who burned down the cities they didn’t live in.

    2. @HOUP

      I hate to break it to you but virtue signaling that you are a “good person” will be of little help when a mob comes to burn your neighborhood or business. And as you watch the flames, just remember that it is all for the higher purpose of social justice and the perpetrators are only reacting to their oppression and racism.

      As for not being “censorship”, tell me with a straight face that you oppose Canadian and European style hate speech laws.

      It is interesting that no one is questioning the veracity of what Aldean is trying to illustrate. Aldean is bad simply because he is not portraying the events which occurred in the summer of 2020 in a heroic light.

      I have zero empathy for s@@tlibs when their precious pets and Antifa ™ enablers bite them.

      And if people like me are so bad, wouldn’t you want to let us go so you can create your leftist multicult utopia?

      Naw, you want to enlighten us and rub our face in your s@@t.

      I do not wish to understand, dialogue or reconcile with people like Houp. I want a divorce! And there are more and more people coming to the same conclusion. Though I do not wish it, I fear this will not end well. But didn’t Comrade Lenin say, “You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet?” Or was that Leon Trotsky?

      antonio

      1. Antonio,
        I too wish for a divorce.
        But that is not what woke leftists want. They want to control. They want power. They cannot stand the idea of someone, somewhere they cannot control.
        You are right. I too fear this will not end well.

      2. Excellent post Antonio!

        To paraphrase a quote attributed to Admiral Yamamoto, ( don’t care if he said it or not) I believe the Leftist’s waging this culture war are discovering there are red-blooded, America-loving warriors no longer hiding behind every blade of grass. Their invasion will not succeed as long as the rest of the silent majority come out of hiding.

    3. If you wish to continue your blinkered understanding of America, its constitution and its majority small town culture, go ahead. You are only fooling yourself and I am constantly amazed at why people who are so filled with disdain for that culture continue to live here. There are many other nations out there where you could escape from all this hatred, in fact, I am sure each and every small town would hold a fundraiser to purchase your one-way ticket out of this horrible place. But face the fact, there will not be a “fundamental transformation” of this nation as that was always a faculty lounge pipe dream created by America-haters of the socialist/progressive ilk and it is fading fast.

    4. but blacks still get beat up by cops or local citizenry who think they are being heroes.

      And non blacks get beat up by cops just as often.

      1. Iowan2,
        They also raised a career criminal to Saint status.
        Should he have died the way he did?
        No.
        But he should not of been praised as he was.

      2. “but blacks still get beat up by cops or local citizenry who think they are being heroes.”
        HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

        local citizenry, apparently other blacks…

        Face the stats people – black on white crime, including getting beat up, including getting swarm attacked by the racist group, is blacks attacking whites in a very large superpercentage.

        Those are the FBI stats, period, for a very long time.

  4. Anonymous the Stupid is once again running around stepping on rakes. Sort of like Disney, Ben and Jerry’s, Bud Light, and others not listed. When you say F___ the public, they tend to take it personally and do it it “right back at you”. I am also surprised that CMT is in New York. Nashville would make more sense. Sort of like, why do gun manufacturers, and the NRA keep their corporate offices and manufacturing in NY. Although now many are leaving .

    1. GEB,
      Sad part is he knows the rakes are there but is just do dang stupid to avoid them.
      Then doubles down with his stupid comments.
      As to gun manufactures keeping production in very blue states, it cost a lot of money and time to take down a production line, move it to a new location and set it back up. Then there is the employees to consider.

      1. UpstateFarmer-
        I agree he knows the rakes are there but I enjoy just counting how many he can hit in one day or a week. I am just waking for sentience to break out in his case and learn how to avoid them. I suspect it will be a very long wait.

  5. CMT is headquartered in NYC…need anymore be said? This is just a variation of “Potomac Poisoning”, a malady that affects many conservatives the longer they are situated in DC. See Liz Cheney and too many Supreme Court Justices.

  6. It’s not that we conservatives are asking for companies that adopt or push our politics or beliefs merely that they remain apolitical as they have thru most of history (with exceptions during world wars when they patriotically supported the just cause).

    That would suffice. Now the companies are between a rock and a hard place. They could have stayed neutral and maintained market share but once they threw in their lot with the left, they risk losing the left portion to simply go back to being neutral. Congratulations morons! You’ve made your bed. They will have to decide. Perhaps failures like the new Indy Jones movie and the success of “Sing of Freedom” will help r store some needed balance.

    BTW Mr Turkey…best line of your in a while: “It is Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” at work, but on a political level. These days, that invisible hand seems to be giving a middle finger to corporate censorship and social agendas.”

  7. Honestly I wish that he had not even addressed the hating left’s assessment. Just totally ignored them. THAT would really p*** them off

  8. Country Music charts just updated. Try that in a Small Town…..Number 1.

    Hold my Beer…….and it’s not Bud Light.

    How to kill your brand should be a college course.

    1. zzclancy,
      That is excellent.
      Regarding beer (and other consumer products) this is the time that consumers should buy from their local breweries. We have several and their product is excellent. This is also a time that consumers should turn to their local small businesses and buy more from them and less from mega corporations.

    2. “How to kill your brand should be a college course.”

      It already is. It’s called “DEI, Diversity, Stakeholders.”

  9. The funny thing is the song is and video display what many Americans are feeling or seeing.
    There is a reason why so many people are leaving big cities for smaller towns: Crime.
    Places like NYC and San Fran are no longer the safe places they used to be. That is why people and businesses are leaving.
    During the 2020 Summer of Love, I recall reading an article about a man in Portland who was fed up with the anti-police demonstrations went out to confront them. He gave them a ear full. They told him to shut up.
    He was black.

  10. Authoritarian narcissist Shannon Twatts, founder of Brown Shirts Need Clicks Too, touted she was “Proud to be known as a the worst of humankind and does not lament never letting middle-school mentality go”

  11. CMT HQ is NYC?! That should have been moved years ago. What does NYC know of small town or country?

  12. Do not know the artist or the song. Do not listen to Country music. Do not watch CMT or even knew it existed. Yet, this looks like a truly stupid mistake. Evidently they have not been watching the recent history or have learned past history. The best way to sell a million of something is to have it banned.

    I guess stupid is as stupid does.

  13. I have always thought that the “Brave, Masked, Wonderful Warriors of Antifa ™” should take their message of love, joy and tolerance to some small town in the Heartland. In fact, I urge them to do so! I am sure the unenlightened hicks in such places could use some consciousness raising.

    antonio

    1. They never show-up in towns they are not protected by the local mayor – portland, charlottesville, philly, nyc, seattle…Antifa is an arm of the dnc.

      1. Neil, you are so right! They ANTIFA goons love to go to Portland, stop traffic and harass little old men and ladies in their cars because a) the old drivers can’t do anything and b) if the cops come they will protect the goons.

        Imagine the left doing this to themselves? Now we have NYC giving protestors $10,000 each because they were “handled roughly” as they burned down the city and fire bombed cop cars.

  14. I’m not a Country Music fan but I bought the song on principle. The song does express my views.

    Shannon Watts and CMT just made the song soar. I had never heard of the guy.

    I call this a But Light moment.

      2. If you get assaulted by a group of men, get thrown to the ground, they are kicking you to include taking blows to the head which can be life threatening, would you want me to take the shot to make them stop?
        Or should I just call 911 and video your beating and maybe even death while waiting for the police to show up?

        1. @upstatefarmer

          You make a good observation but let me add that whenever a woke, cisgendered, male identifying creature is attacked by an oppressed minority or Antifa(tm) enabler to remember that their beating, while unfortunate is actually serving a higher purpose in the cause of social justice. In fact, it would be criminal to even report it to the police because the poor, oppressed person of color is really not responsible for their actions due to racism. If the beating were done by a member of the “Brave, Masked, Wonderful Warriors of Antifa(tm)”, remember that Antifa(tm) is a vanguard of the revolution and protector of the oppressed.

  15. I watched this for the first time this morning. I have never heard of Jason Aldean. I am out of touch with the latest music trends. It is a powerful, well made video. CMT pulled it but You Tube has it? Good job CMT. I noticed that Jason has nearly 2.5 million subscribers. I am sure the publicity (good and bad) will catapult the popularity of this song into the stratosphere.

  16. I’ve listened to the song multiple times. It’s not at all racist, but it’s also not that great a song from a musical and lyrical point of view. However, I’ll keep listening to it as my only way to push back against the woke fascists trying to censor everything that undermines their narrative. It hit #1 on iTunes and I hope it stays in that spot as long as possible to send a message to the woke fascists.

    1. @oldmanfromkansas

      “It’s not at all racist”

      The term ‘racist’ means everything and nothing at the same time. You are a ‘racist’ for questioning or even expressing the slightest disagreement with the leftist agenda. Same with any of the other s@@lib terms out there…homophobic, Islamophobic, etc. You get the idea.

      That dog is increasingly showing an unwillingness to hunt.

      antonio

  17. I’ve listened to this video many times now and even though I’m not a fan of most contemporary country music I find that this one hits home to many because it says quite clearly just what a majority of regular middle Americans are thinking. And that is what has caused such an “emergency” push back fron the prog/left. Someone is finally saying, out loud, that the emperor has no close.

    2. Yes, you hit the nail square on. People like you think that “regular and middle Americans” think vigilante murder against people they don’t like is not just acceptable, but desirable. The sad thing is that this is true for MAGA supporters, they are just fine with modern lynching.

      1. The only vigilante murder I have seen lately has been done by young punks indoctrinated into anarchy by the prog/left. Get yourself educated before opening your mouth and spewing prog/left propaganda. Oh, wait, if you were educated you wouldn’t be supporting the prog/left.

      2. Can you show us a case of modern lynching by anyone?

        What you do support is rioting, arson, looting. Something us “regular and middle Americans” think is wrong.

  18. Don’t know which is more irritating, the actual censorship or the hypocrisy. Only in woke America could a song protesting violence be considered violent. But then, there is, apparently, a “right” and a “wrong” kind of violence. To the left, any violence they or one of their victim groups commit (and that includes all those poor prisoners) is the “right” kind of violence. All other violence, like self-defense or using the wrong pronoun, is the wrong kind of violence and must be snuffed out. But this isn’t really about race, violence or gender — it’s about power. They cancel because they can get away with it, because there’s still not enough push back. We shouldn’t wait for a national leader — this has to start at the grassroots.

    1. I agree, whole heartedly and I think Bud Lite really got the fire lit under the right people. Little did that woke ignorant VP at Bud Lite realize just what a fuse she lit and now that we see just how much damage (both financially and politically) her little stunt has created, we are emboldened to do the same to an Ice Cream maker and a music emporium. Let us keep this up and react with each new affront to our freedoms. I do believe the left is now running scared of this video, not for its racism, as such, but what it explicitly displays about the true nature of the prog/left in all the video footage of their hatred and destructive nature.

  19. Now we know who hired the now fired Bud Light executives. What was CMT thinking?
