i can't stand this
i know they planned this
beastie boys are old
politics is sabotage

When was the last time anyone actually gave a toss about their opnions?
199?

Beastie Boys may not do as much as they once did, but they are still completely relevant. They've done more in the way of raising money and awareness for causes than just about any band out there. They could hit the road and do an area tour and it would sell out almost instantly.

I can't speak for your offhanded racist comment, but there are still plenty of sideways hats out there.

I refuse to go see a band who only feels my town is important enough to visit if we happen to be a swing state. It's kind of insulting, in a way.

$100 says you wouldn't say that if they were stumping for the republicans. the true insult here is that they're on obama's side.

The fact they're on the wrong side is a completely different issue. You're right, in that, I don't want my money going to support Get Out The Idiot vote efforts, but my stand against this is purely on the merits of the "the Beastie Boys haven't stepped foot in Richmond in 25 years and now that they want something, they're willing to grace us with their presence" issue.

just admit you disapprove of the beasties poor choice in neckwear

If you find the word 'whigger' offensive you're WAY too uptight

I guess I'm just an old fuddy duddy, all uptight and sensitive.
Try using that term in front of a group of African American people you don't know and see how it turns out for you. Then come back here and tell me I'm uptight.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's not an offensive or racist term...
This according to Wikipedia: The term most likely stems from a portmanteau of the word white and the derogatory term nigger. The word is considered offensive by some because of its similarity to nigger in addition to reflecting stereotypical notions about urban blacks.
I'm a white guy who's never really earned that label so I wouldn't really be the judge. Maybe there's someone more qualified than me to answer this question.

your vitriol backs my point... if they were coming to richmond to promote the embarrassing joke that is the republican ticket, you would have been all for it. if they could fill a venue full of right-wingnuts and get local excited about the old man and the unqualified princess, you would not be complaining.
GOP & indignation really do go well together, don't they?
-
yet you get stoked for a bunch of has beens playing for an unqualified community organizer and another old man. go figure...

Obama's experience as a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago is underappeciated. While its doesn't in itself qualify one for leadership, it demonstrates a depth of thought and more importantly a depth of mastery of the foundation of what America is - the Constitution - which I think is crucial for a leader here at any time, and particularly after a time where we have lost the plot.
. . . and who doesn't like the Beastie Boys??

No, I can disagree with something on two separate points both with their own merit. I was the biggest John Kerry supporter out there, but I took a similar stand against the Vote For Change concerts, because if the only reasons Pearl Jam and REM wanted to play near me was because I was in a swing state, then they can go shove off.

yet, coincidentally, they were also in favor of the dems... no, really, co-in-ki-dink!

I agree with your assessment of Obama, but I hate the Beasties "Boys".
But then again, I'm as old as the Beastie "Boys", and am no longer a boy, so find it hard to listen to kids music made by three middle aged "boys".

ok . . . shadrach was correct. i asked three black people about whiggers. and even though they found the term amusing and annoyingly true, they all agreed that it was racist.
-
so now youre deleting my posts? fucking liberal commie bullshit.

Actually I think they're committing suicide
-
would you delete my post about the coke/crack abusing bartenders you employ or the woman beating ones that go on the warp tour as roadies?

I guess there'll always be 14 year old boys in this world..
I wonder what Obama would think if he knew there were jews campaigning for him....or would that just be yet another Obama contradiction that the mainstream media chose to ignore about him? I'll give him this, at least he's bringing Hamas and Jews together in backing his campaign!!!!
BTW, on a more serious note. I've found that here in s FL the Obama campaigners are much more organized than the McCain ones. I've had Obama'ites knocking on my door 6 times and yet to have one McCain supporter come ask for my vote. The troubling thing is though is the Obama's remind me of the Larouche supporters back in the day, which is quite worrying.

You do understand I'm a registered Democrat who has never voted for a Republican candidate in any non-local election before, right?

How about the moderators chill out and let people speak their mind?
-
i don't have a problem with speaking their minds, i'm just tired of the name calling.... one can only take so much of
"your a jerk"
"no, your a bigger jerk"
"your the biggest jerk ever and ever"
playing nice in the sandbox is all i ask for

if someone comes to my house and acts/speaks in a manner that i find inappropriate or offensive to myself or my other guests, i ask them nicely to modify their behavior/speech. if they refuse, i ask them nicely to leave. if they refuse, i remove them.
this place is kinda like my house.

no, didn't know that... interesting. might have to revise some of my comments towards you. it makes your anti-obama vitriol much more intriguing.
you'll be tickled to know that the b-boys are hitting additional swing-state cities under the banner of their Get Out and Vote 08 tour:
Oct 27
Charlotte, NC
Amos Southend
Beastie Boys / Sheryl Crow / Santogold
Oct 29
Youngstown, OH
Chevorlet Center
Beastie Boys / Sheryl Crow / Ben Harper / Norah Jones
Oct 30
Dayton, OH
Hara Arena
Beastie Boys / Sheryl Crow / Ben Harper

honestly, the b boys should stay out of political matters. because of their actions with the whole tibet debacle, we had a concert, a cd release of that concert . . . and oh yeah, china is on the verge of finally fucking destroying tibet and everything sacred coming out of it, including the final 14th "true" dali lama. way to go, fuckheads.

i know man, the Beastie Boys thread was definitely not a thread i even planned on opening. but since it was referenced elsewhere i had to see what was happening.
lets recap:
1. Beastie Boys announce a show.
2. Several people comment how beastie boys are has beens.
3. guy with Beastie Boys screen name defends them.
3 1/2. Julian is insulted that they don't play Virginia when politicing for white women.
3 3/4. Sweetcell joins the Obama Nation
4. Rusty Organ spews several rapid fire nonsensical caps ridden posts.
5. Manimtired offends blacks, liberals, gays and the obese.
5 1/2. Then uses as much internet slang as he can muster up.
6. kosmo gets mad.
7. Relaxer makes easily POTW regarding manimtired's posts' suicides.
8. wml still talking about the Beastie Boys
9. manimtired states for the 30th time that he thinks this messageboard is a waste of time and he likes his new internet persona
10. Julian confesses his love for Hillary Clinton
that about sum it up?
oh, 11. manimtired makes a nasty abbreviated retort at this very post.

A new CNN/Time Magazine/Opinion Research Corporation survey in Virginia released Wednesday indicates that Sen. Barack Obama holds a 10-point lead over McCain -- 53 percent to 43 percent among likely voters.
President Bush won Virginia by nine points over Sen. John Kerry in 2004, and the state hasn't voted for a Democrat in a presidential election since 1964. (source (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/15/election.polls/index.html))
i hold the B-Boys fully responsible for this turn of events.

So who is all going to this concert???

if fools fool themselves with foolishness the first time, should said fools be allowed to have said what they say in their mind, all because they just want to drop another record in 2009?

Thats right! True democracy requires citizens shut up! SHUT UP BEASTIE BOYS..forget about trying to improve the world!
I think the much maligned Eddie Vedder said it best at the Warner a few weeks ago "When people tell me not to talk about my political opinions that IS a political statement." (he was paraphrasing and attributed it to George Orwell of course)
