Video: Job of U.S. soldiers is killing “mothers and sisters,” says David Crosby

So self-parodic is this all the way around the horn that I can’t muster the requisite outrage. Of course David Crosby thinks American soldiers are out to kill women. Of course Graham Nash thinks “dialogue” is the answer to suicidal jihadism. Of course Chris Matthews doesn’t think he’s a Marxist even as he’s mouthing rhetoric straight from the Daily Worker. Of course, of course.

A lot of golden moments packed into 130+ seconds but if I have only one to take with me to the grave, it’s the knowing look Nash shoots Matthews after he very smartly suggests opposing the war as a good way for the Church to distract people from that nasty business with the altar boys. You’re nobody’s fool, Nashy!

Quit with the pot smoker thing. I’m an ADVOCATE pot smoker and a hardcore Conservative,if you quit being P.C. and looked at the facts you might agree,however it seems that it’s better to pick on The Other so that you might feel good,typical.Dave C is an asswipe but there is no need to denigrate pot

It’s the big question: are these people actually this braindead stupid, or are they just pretending not to be on Islamofascism’s side, with ill intent? Or are they both moronic beyond belief and plotting to aid the enemy?

tree hugging hippie liberal bs

Give me some pure testosterone any day of the week.

and after a good old fashion butt kicking of the aging 60’s douche bags is just an extra added bonus.

Mojack420 on October 16, 2007 at 2:27 AM

and yes Conservatives and pot can be compatible it’s called Freedom

And, in most places called illegal.

“Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.”

Well not the last part so much but ….

Buzzy on October 16, 2007 at 6:04 AM

Who the #$%^ is David “I bought my way out or cirrhosis” Crosby to accuse my son and his comrades-in-arms of killing civilians? Let’s sponsor a lunch where he and Jack Murtha are the guest speakers - NOT.

Here’s the inimitable Christopher Hitchens, rebuking an anti-war punk earlier this week:

You should be ashamed sneering at the people guarding you as you sleep.

(h/t Althouse)

Lurking Vet on October 16, 2007 at 6:45 AM

What do you call someone who managed to kill all their brain cells?

dogsoldier on October 16, 2007 at 6:55 AM

If churches were speaking out “in favor of” war, these three would be wailing about how churches need to stay out of politics and they should lose their tax-exampt status.

DrMagnolias on October 16, 2007 at 7:05 AM

Hirsi Ali puit it best, and I will never forget this quote…

You come from Freedom, so you can SPIT on freedom…

Mazztek on October 15, 2007 at 9:25 PM

So true.

Viper1 on October 16, 2007 at 7:29 AM

Isn’t this the same drugged out, hippie has-been, lesbian sperm donating whack, that has hated the USA since the ’60’s?

The news is that this pathetic specimen, and the rest of his elderly-ilk seem to have greatly aged at a rapid rate, while maintaining the same juvenile mindset that has been frozen in their fried brains for forty years, with no signs of growth or understanding. Their behavior and lifestyle choices would be cause for punishment or death to those they promote over those who defend their rights with their own more worthwhile lives.

Hening on October 16, 2007 at 8:19 AM

Anti-military, drug taking, old hippies. Yes, let’s listen to what they have to say.

I don’t remember; which cable network brought on Tommy Chong as their immigration expert? CNN or MSNBC?

David Crosby and Tommy Chong are probably both up for cabinet positions in 2009.

saint kansas on October 16, 2007 at 9:20 AM

OK. I think it’s time this moron gives us the liver back. Anyone else agree?

bloggless on October 16, 2007 at 9:36 AM

David, david, david. Me thinks Ms. Etheridge would be a better audience for your political m@sturb@tion.

Shut up & do not sing.

locomotivebreath1901 on October 16, 2007 at 9:36 AM

Idiot couldn’t even read the words of Sloop John B on the telestrator at the Brian Wilson tribute in 2000.

mymanpotsandpans on October 16, 2007 at 9:51 AM

I think my favorite part is Crosby’s assumption that we’re “wasting” our best and brightest by making them soldiers.

Dudley Smith on October 16, 2007 at 9:55 AM

This disgusting druggie slob and his idiot buddy Matthews aren’t fit to even mention our brave soldiers.

rplat on October 16, 2007 at 9:58 AM

The 3 stooges

RobG on October 16, 2007 at 10:15 AM

Crosby and Nash haven’t been sober since the age of 6. Their minds haven’t been used for anything but drugs in so long their perception of reality has long been “wasted”,

volsense on October 16, 2007 at 10:17 AM

Of course Graham Nash thinks “dialogue” is the answer to suicidal jihadism

We keep hearing this mantra from the left over and over and over again. I have a simple question, What are they going to say?

KelliD on October 16, 2007 at 10:24 AM

Who will be giving advice on Chrissy’s show tomorrow, Admiral Joan Baez and General Jane Fonda?

We don’t need Jon Stewart to cut him into a million pieces, Matthews is quite capable of doing that all by himself.

What a friggin joke.

fogw on October 16, 2007 at 10:29 AM

What a piece of $h1T

ronsfi on October 16, 2007 at 10:29 AM

Patience young one. Before we ponder the roots of daisies in our eternal sleep many of us plan to drink from the social security trough until it is dry and the young turks are destitute…

Bradky on October 15, 2007 at 10:52 PM

Oh, that’s definitely the plan for many of them.

Baby Boomers will bankrupt this country. A near majority, if not a majority, of them seem either indifferent about or unwilling to fix our coming financial crisis regarding Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

I’m already betting we’re going to go down the road to Socialism (Serfdom, to borrow from Hayek); it’s already started, in fact.

eanax on October 16, 2007 at 10:39 AM

Why do you have to showcase two class “A” jerks ? Does it make you feel better ? Hope so. Opppsssttt, excuse me; one class “A” junkie and one class “A” jerk.

oldelpasoan on October 16, 2007 at 11:01 AM

I have a simple question, What are they going to say?

“I, for one, welcome our new Jihadist overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted entertainment personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their Afghan poppy fields.”

saint kansas on October 16, 2007 at 11:04 AM

Oh, Wow. Now I’m like totally enlightened, man.

Yes, yes I will guide all of my actions by the words of burnt out hippie drug addicted alcoholics, ’cause they’re just so totally in tune with the freakin’ universe, man!

Too bad ol’ Dave didn’t get a brain transplant, too.

This isn’t their song, but it seems appropriate:

“The answer, my friends, is blowing out his Depends.”

IDIOTS!

volsense on October 16, 2007 at 10:17 AM

If there is a greater crime in music than these two leftist junkies milking the talent of Stephen Stills for million$ and a life of notoriety, leftism and drugs, it could only be that someone made money off of Rock Lobster and My Sharona.

Jaibones on October 16, 2007 at 2:55 PM

Jaibones on October 16, 2007 at 2:55 PM

LMAO!

Bradky on October 16, 2007 at 6:20 PM

This should help Crosby,Stills, Nash, and Young sell more CD’s.

“Our house, is a very very very fine house,
With two cats in the yard, my brain is a duck nard,
Now everything is easy ’cause of you.”

David Crosby, singing to his favorite bong.

PatrickS on October 15, 2007 at 9:50 PM

Except that Graham Nash wrote that one.

Classic Rock 101 / The CSNY chapter:

Basic rule: if it was under 3 minutes and was a Top 40 hit for CSN(and/orY): Graham wrote it (”Marakesh Express,” “Our House,” “Teach Your Children,” “Just A Song Before I Go,” and - ahem - “Wasted On The Way”). If it had meandering or non-existent lyrics: Crosby wrote it. If it was over 6 minutes, had gorgeous harmonies and bitchin’ acoustic guitar licks and may or may not have been about a boat: Stills wrote it. If it had a 7-minute 1-note guitar solo and caterwauling lead vocals: Neil wrote it.

Congratulations. You have now graduated to Crosby Stills Nash & Young: the Desperate Years.

(Oh how my heroes have fallen…)

Captain Scarlet on October 16, 2007 at 9:16 PM

David Crosby??? “She’s a mess!”

D2Boston on October 16, 2007 at 10:00 PM

What a friggin baffoon! Don’t you know he is the father of Mellisa Etheridge’s twins. Good God Almighty……can you imagine how those kids are going to turn out? Yikes!!!

Winebabe on October 16, 2007 at 10:01 PM

If somebody’s already said it, I’m apologise, apoligize, apollogise. Hell, I’m sorry, now I forgot……..Oh yeah, I’m sorry you two are still alive, And I’m sorry I ever liked any of your music. And I also want to know why I should care what you pricks think anyway.

I was gonna say; “convert or die”, but I like your’s better.

Is that you Steven?!?!?!

Talk to your bros bro.

They need you again.

soundingboard on October 17, 2007 at 1:28 AM

hmmmm…1st time I’ve been moderated.

soundingboard on October 17, 2007 at 1:29 AM

I honestly thought he was dead. Guess he’s not.

yggdrasil on October 17, 2007 at 5:40 AM

Ok, I watched it after making my first comment. Can anyone tell me why the liberals don’t acknowledge that there are several iraqi factions in Iraq and they are busy killing each other? That you can’t blame the americans and other troops over there for every darn thing?

Their inability to see grey really p’s me off.

Oh, and…. Dialog? Bwahahahaha. As if that’s done any good.

yggdrasil on October 17, 2007 at 5:48 AM

soundingboard on October 17, 2007 at 1:28 AM

It’s “Stephen,” and no.

Captain Scarlet on October 17, 2007 at 8:38 AM

Yeah, we send our men over there to kill women and children. Terrorists? They just get in the way, we want the women and kids.

The same line as conservatives want to pollute the world, starve the children, take away benefits from seniors, kill all illegals, force everyone to be a Christian, add more homeless, let people die without health care, invade every country, and want the world to hate us because we are evil.

That’s what we conservatives want…and if we can kill a few moms and children, hey we get extra points.

Liberals are idiots…

right2bright on October 17, 2007 at 8:59 AM

Old rockers never die, they just go to pot.

pocomoco on October 17, 2007 at 12:48 PM

I just finished guitar hero 2 {guitar hero has better song selection} and it says i ROCK.
so my question is when do i get to go on no balls with christy mathews and give my political opinions???
Heck i can even get high if need be .

Mojack420 on October 17, 2007 at 1:58 PM

It’s “Stephen,” and no.

Captain Scarlet on October 17, 2007 at 8:38 AM

Pardon moi.

Even preview doesn’t completely eliminate cerebral flatulence.

And yes, I’ve read his your? name hundreds of times.

Are you saying no to the identity question, or to the appeal for some form of dialogue with C&N?

soundingboard on October 17, 2007 at 11:57 PM

You know, when you really need solutions to the big problems, there is nothing quite like advice from a stoned-out has-been musician!!! But why David Crosby? Was Ozzie Ozburn unavailable??

DAVID: Those things crawling up your arm are NOT SOLDIERS!!! Next time stay in rehab for the full course!

landlines on October 18, 2007 at 9:29 AM

the only advise I would take from this sheepdip is how to write sh*tty songs and grow cartoonish hair!!
by the way, he is uglier than a mud fence. He looks like he was shot in the face by a shit-musket!
