Quote:

But whatever their myriad interests, clothing choices, and interest in illicit drugs, true Deadheads are what liberals claim to be but aren't: unique, free-thinking, open, kind, and interested in different ideas.




Or, in other words, everything Republicans loathe and despise.

Phred why do you (seem to) enjoy parading around the "Right vs. Left" bullshit? Are you not more interested in finding common ground, rather than just bashing "the other side"? I consider myself a Liberal or, at least, on the "Left" of the political spectrum...and while I would like to have a lot of respect for you, that's kind of hard to do when half the posts I see from you seem to exist solely to bash the "loonie lefties".

I certainly don't agree politically with most people who identify themselves as Right, or Republican, or whatever....but I fully accept their choice in the matter and I'm not going to get petty and call them names just because I don't agree with them. Why do you feel the need to do so?

Compromise is where it's at, if you ask me.

Holy over-reaction, Batman!

Look, all I did was post a link to an interview at Jambands.com with a famous Deadhead. I didn't title the article, Jambands.com did. I was too lazy to think of a different title for the thread so I just used the one Jambands.com used. For this I'm given grief?

If you'd read the article you'd know there are maybe three sentences in the entire lengthy interview having anything at all to do with politics. The rest of the article is nothing more than the reminiscences of a Deadhead.

Lighten up, dude.

I think I'm light enough as is, Phred. Shit, if I lose any more weight I'll disappear when I turn sideways :smirk:


Please, don't take any offense to my post. Re-reading it, I may have worded it a little wrong in a few places. I'm not trying to bash you or anything like that!

I'm trying to understand, that's all. This just happened to be the thread that finally made me ask :wink:

yeah..ann coulter never did any drugs during the 67 shows she saw yet according to the descriptions she gave of her experiances at dead shows she can barely remember anything about it except that it was "awesome". she's a liar and hypocrite, just like rush.

she's also either completely insane or she's just a fraudulent merchant of shock value. i think anyone who takes her seriously has a couple screws loose.

I don't honestly beleive that Ann Coulter is really as crazy as she acts.

Honestly, I think it's just a stage persona that she's developed to help her sell books.

I bet that under all the "crazy bitch" getup she has some level of decent humanity

you're probably right. she's like a female howard stern from a parallel universe.

it'd be funny if on her death bed she came out and admitted she loved acid and free love and really loathed conservatives and only wrote her books to get rich and confuse conservatives.

I'm not in a position to agree with her or disagree with her, since I've never been to Dead concert and have therefore met no Deadheads in real life. Or at least none I know of. For all I know Deadheads are not what Liberals claim to be (but aren't).

haha whatever. you posted this article + title to inflame those that disagree with your right-wing politics. No need to dance around like an attorney like you always do when someone calls you out.

It's the hand of an Iraqi woman who had just voted in Iraq's first free election -- the one which chose the members of the first Iraqi parliament charged with producing the Iraqi consitution.

The purple dye is the precaution the Iraq election committee uses to prevent people from voting twice. In order to receive a ballot, the voter must dip his/her index finger in indelible purple dye. I'm not sure what part of their anatomy those who had fingers amputated by Hussein's thugs use in lieu of an index finger, though.

In the days after the election, Iraqis were proudly waving their fingers in the air at every opportunity to prove they had voted.

So you didn't read the interview either. Didn't think so. If you had you would have realized there is almost no discussion of politics. It's merely the reminiscences of a Dead fan -- albeit a fairly famous Dead fan.

Though I rarely post in The Pub, I do know there are many Dead fans who do. I therefore thought the interview was appropriate Pub material. Guess not. *shrugs*

They're just being a pain in the neck, they might just be griefing you a bit, who knows?

I thought the article was amusing, it showed a very human side of a celebrity that I previously thought of as being a soulless bitch.
