More wonderful political commentary from musicians. Apparently President Obama hates farming, the military and the USA.

He must've felt bad that Mustaine and Nugent were taking away his spotlight.

He's probably got a project he is releasing soon and is just trying to get a little buzz. Of course, he's probably just an ignorant redneck too.

Musicians just need to keep their mouths shut about politics. Nothing but crap comes out no matter what side of the aile they're on.

I guess he must be going off of what Jeremiah Wright said about how he believed Obama was a Muslim at some time in his life... I think it's nonsense.

Man, people are really hung up on this whole religion and politics thing aren't they :| If I was Obama I'd just be like, "nope I'm not a muslim, in fact I don't hold any particular belief" although that'd probably result in even more uproar!

Yeah that would be career suicide. Polls have shown that people will not vote for a president who isn't religious.

I don't take any of these Tea Party musicians seriously: Ted Nugent, for example, is a draft dodger. Yet now he's all supportive of the military. Fvck off with that sh*t. They demean the cause of the Tea Party in an attempt to ressurect their pathetic careers.

Anyway, this is going to be my last post on this website for awhile. I can't even enter a thread without having to refresh to actually see it, same with making posts. Nor can I even post in my blog, or see my profile half the time. I hope GameSpot fixes this sh*t. Take care all.

I've been surfing here a lot less recently. The forums have had problems for as long as I can remember and I've seen no real effort to fix them yet they've got progressively worse in recent months. Now it's becoming difficult to even lurk without encountering errors or timeouts, not to mention the numerous issues with posting. Any timeline on fixes, anyone?

Same here with the site not working. Everything takes like 10 minutes to load and then I just get an error. Don't leave though!

I don't forsee any fixes, based on how things have slowly gotten worse. I couldn't even login today using IE.

I have to imagine at this point they'll do SOMETHING soon since the forums are unusable at times. They can't possibly keep ignoring it.

Hank's still mad he lost his Monday Night Football gig.

Gotta make make money somehow - and considering his flavor for all things "redneck", this is most suitable course to follow.

Ya, I've just had Google Chrome say "Sorry cannot connect to Gamespot.com" 2 times in a row now, plus the forums are really slow going from forum to forum. I think I just may leave for a month or so. Probably doin a lot of people favors by doing so :lol:

I'm perfectly ok with musicians and entertainers expressing their views and opinions. But like everyone else, if you're gonna open your mouth, at least be informed and say something worthwhile.

1. President Obama is not a Muslim. He attended the same Christian Church every Sunday for decades. You may remember the Reverend Wright fiasco of the last election. 2. I wouldn't give a damn if he was a Muslim. It's his policies I care about, not his religion.

There are some red flags that make him seem Muslim (remember that freudian slip), but whatever.

All I'm saying is, when you talk about your heritage, you should say it correctly...heritage is not a type of thing you mess up on...it's like talking about the city you were born in.

Probably because they can't. The only way for a website to get this bad is if some suit is setting impossible tasks for the IT department, and publicly blaming everything on your idiot boss tends to be frowned upon. :P

non-issue.

He's not, but so what if he was.

Muslim, Communist, Socialist... ask a few probing questions and you quickly find rednecks have a very limited understanding of these words they like to throw around so much. Birtherism comes into it too. There's no substance or sophistication to what they're trying to say here, it's basically just name-calling and schoolyard taunts. They'd be using the N-word too if they thought they'd get away with it.

It's disconcerting that adults can believe some of this stuff. He's probably not the most informed person, but it's still unsettling that he would put forth such a notion.

Interesting. Thought it was just me. I have noticed an increase in lag, crashes, and other bugs over the last couple of months. Think they may still be working out some of the bugs. Importantly, if you are experiencing issues, let them know about it in the technical support forums. List your web browser and the types of problems so they may be able to address it in the future.

Nothing. Trying to portray someone as a Muslim so that certain groups will react negatively towards them because of their prejudices is borderline evil though.

Yeah, does playing the guitar suddenly kill brain cells? Should I be worried that I'll start claiming the President is from Kenya?

Muslims don't support gay marriage and abortion. One of the more positive things I can say about their faith. Obama isn't a muslim, he isn't a Christian. He's whatever he wants to be. I actually think he's a closest liberal Episcopolian.

Well, they could but ...they didnt.

I dont see the problem.

Unless this thread got 100 pages of posts strictly referring to him (and not a side-argument related to his views).
