Springsteen's slobbering, uncritical interview with Obama

+ Not much chance of this one being coöpted like “Born in the USA” was by Lee Atwater and the Reaganites…

And, yes, I know it’s been harder and harder to take Springsteen the half-billionaire seriously after his slobbering, uncritical interview with Obama, the deporter-in-chief, the man who set Tom Homan loose on immigrant families and droned American citizens without even a warrant to arrest them, never mind kill them. Springsteen is a Democrat. The meaning of being a Democrat is to forgive anything a fellow Democrat does, except defend Palestinians. Bernie Sanders is just as bad in this respect. Even worse, because he claims to be an Independent Socialist and not a member of the Democratic Party. But in this case, it’s about the song, not the singer. Spread it. Use it. Blast it.
