Is the Star Spangled Banner An "Abomination"?
Talk show host, Bill Press, doesn’t like the Star-Spangled Banner. Imagine: a liberal talk show that’s not on NPR! His radio show is simulcast on Current TV. Bill Press likes provoking conservatives, but I’m not sure we should be provoked by his outburst against the National Anthem. Bill Press seems to be testing the old philosopher’s question: If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one there to hear it, does it make a noise? If you say something on Current TV, does anyone hear it?
Press adds: “It is a major crusade of mine to get rid of the Star-Spangled Banner. Now I know you’re going to say I am not a true American, I’m not patriotic. I don’t think patriotism has anything to do with it. The National Anthem is just absolutely monumentally un-singable. I mean there’s so much wrong with it. I don’t know where to start. It’s an abomination.”
With Flag Day approaching, Bill Press sure chose a bad time to express his liberal disdain for a cherished national institution. He couldn’t top Roseanne Barr, of course, who infamously scratched her crotch while “O Saying,” or Jose Feliciano, who forgot the words.
Still, it’s worth asking: What is it with liberals that they are forever saying and doing things that lead normal people to question their patriotism—and then they howl in rage when folks question their patriotism?

Leftists DO despise their country and they can't help that leaking out at times. But in a patriotic country like America they know it would be political death to admit it.

"With Flag Day approaching," - with the way Libs keep attacking the good old USA, waving the Stars and Stripes on that day might just get those of us who do so thrown in jail for insulting other cultures.
It's long been acknowledged that the Star Spangled Banner is a technically difficult song to sing. But that doesn't mean it should be done away with, only that you shouldn't let hacks like Roseanne Barr an opportunity to show how low they can go.
There are two songs I think would be excellent choices for a national anthem, America the Beautiful, and God Bless America. But the Liberals hate God even more than they hate America.

OK, time for a vote:
Two fading stars have made vulgar attempts to regain the lime light by putting America in a bad light:
Madonna has bared her nipple on stage in Turkey, a moslem country, in a manner clearly designed to titillate some and outrage others by embarrassing America.
Bill Press has entered the above described personal campaign for the very same reason.
In both cases these antics were done by calculating narcissists attempting to reinvigorate fading careers.
Assuming either were a decent person, whose attention whore "nip slip" should be deemed more disgusting and embarrassing, Madonna or Press?

Tell this BILL PRESS to stand on his head whistling DOG & BUTTERFLY while flying a kite and snorting wacky weed
This is just Liberals doing what they do best. Nothing to see here...move along.
I like female nipples. Apparently, Tidford does not. Is that because you are gay, Tidford?
I guess the US is so infantile it still has to relate to the mammary glands.
NEWS FLASH: Current TV is much further to the Left than is NPR. It has become home to all the radical leftists who have been dumped by other TV networks, even liberal ones like msnbc. (it's where they sent Keith Olberman until even they threw him out)
As most of us know, Bill Press is your typical Leftist, meaning, he will attack anything that is not aligned with the far Left. It's the only way this irrelevant has-been can get any attention.
Bill Press, one side of the coin. Rush Limbaugh, the other side of the coin.
The right has its assholes; the left has theirs.
Big deal.
Maybe he's right.
"If some people can't do it, it needs to be abolished so nobody feels left out" has pretty much become our national motto.
Trolling isn't just for irrelevant weenies on the interblogs no more; irrelevant weenies in the legacy media are doing it too.
Trolls are like a dog so ugly no one will pat it, but still they need attention so they crap on the carpet. Not much of a life, eh, doggies? Remember, it'll only change when you do.
P.S. I'll take Rush's side of the coin any day: millions of listeners and fans, 100s of millions of dollars, and an opinion that people actually want to hear. Nice try at equivalence, troll. Sadly, you did your best.
Yes, it is a challenging piece to sing.
I can even understand someone saying they don't enjoy the tune - or even that it is not very tuneful.
So, find a more appealing song and try to get that adopted as the anthem.
These things aren't immutable.
Don't really see why this piece is on TT.
Bill Press please go live with your buddy Hugo Chavez
Anon 1:54 - His millions of listeners maybe?
Jealous much are you?
Yep, he's jealous, alright.
LOL!, you really don't know how obvious you are about your envy, do you? Inna the deep end with ya, then! Hold yer breath!
In the East, the Far East, when a person is sentenced to death, they're sent to a place where they can't escape, never knowing when an executioner may step up behind them, and fire a bullet into the back of their head.
Liberals oppose all sorts of decent
