    The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde praises Trump for honoring Rush Limbaugh - despite being a LIBERAL herself - because her dad loved the pundit and she believes in the 'right to disagree'
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-honoring-Rush-Limbaugh-dad-loved-pundit.html

    Liberal rock star Chrissie Hynde has shocked her fans by praising Donald Trump for honoring conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh, saying her father 'would have been so delighted'.
    Hynde, the lead singer of The Pretenders, wrote an open letter to President Trump on Twitter Monday in which she says her late father Melville would have 'enjoyed' his presidency.
    She said Melville, known as 'Bud', was a huge fan of Limbaugh, who was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor after he announced he had advanced lung cancer.


    Good for her. It is nice to know that people who disagree can still be polite. Maybe some people like that will join this forum.

    She's an old school liberal, who appreciates free speech/discussion.

    Nothing like the left now.

    She obviously hasn't read the Alinsky book.

    Good for her. Yes, it would be great if some people like that would join the forum. You just joined (and welcome), so you could start by setting a good example. Instead, we get posts like this:

    "COMMENT: Obama actually encouraged foodstamps with nice ads. That's how sick that fool was. Trump is winning for America"

    "False statement. Obama was a socialist imbecile with horrible polocies which Trump has turned around."

    Is that disagreeing politely? What goes around comes around. If you want to have a respectful discussion, you can have it here. If you want to throw expletives at each other, you can have that too. It depends on you.

    Here is another morsel of the OP's "polite" disagreement with Mayor Pete:

    "America will never elect a perverted sodomite who kisses another man on national television."

    As I said, fix your own house first, before criticizing someone else.

    Oh my, sounds like Chrissie's brain is faltering now.

    But she did make some good tunes back in the day...

    I want to be clear-in the US we disregard the opinions of Commonwealth nations.

    Never liked Rush Limbaugh. Hated him for what he said about Jerry Garcia.

    I wish him luck in his battle with cancer though.

    Physician heal thyself. Gotta' love this socialist: He attacks me, fails to address the topic, then tops it off by trying convince everyone that he is the better person for it. LOL

    My house is fine. How is your cardboard box?

    Why, because she decided to be a decent person?

    Hynde is certainly entitled to her opinion.

    The Pretenders were cool (for a minute) back in the early to mid-80s.

    Glad to see her name in the news again (after over 3 decades of irrelevance).

    Speaking of Chrissie, I've always like this performance.

    How is welcoming you to the forum attacking you? I only cited your own posts. If you don't want people to cite them, then don't post them. I realize, however, it is hard for people to see their own hypocrisy shown to them in a mirror. As I said, it starts with yourself. if you want the other side to treat you politely, you have to be polite yourself.

    Second, I'd be happy to see some quotes of mine that show I am a socialist. Feel free to use the forum search engine.
