Reply #26: I can see why the Nazi comparison is tempting here

But remember that the Hitler youth was ordinary young people duped by their government, just as these repub youngsters. Not evil spawn :evilgrin:

No, but come on. They're young, and young people are bound to be stupid sometimes, from lack of life experience.

But I agree that the play list sucks; and why isn't anyone targeting these kids with a counter-concert or something? If it comes down to a plain comparison between 'us' and 'them': who's got the best artists? I tell you, it's a walkover ;-)

That could have been a good reponse to the inauguration of the * ?
A huge peace concert in central DC (or maybe Central Park, NY) with music and politics, that would have sent the right message. And it would have been fun to watch as well :D

The growing retro-christian Repub teenage bimboism could easily be met by people like Eminem - artists that carry the MESSAGE to young people. He's kinda disappeared after the election, no doubt having a well deserved rest from his work, just as many other campaigners.

But there's a vacuum now, as far as semi-organized action is concerned. At least it appear to be.
Where are all the beat poets, film directors, writers, journalists and musicians that's supposed to be the role models for young people, today? In the 60's and 70's, these popped up everywhere, gained momentum as a somewhat vague movement and dragged the whole country to the left.

A good ole revolution in the Youth Dept. - that's what the Repubs need :evilgrin:
