New political forum: Amazon reviews of "The Rising"

Postby MK » Fri Mar 25, 2005 12:27 pm

Man, anyone check out the reviews over there? The album's already 2+ years old, there's a ton of unwanted copies going for $1, and yet it keeps racking up the reviews, and not just reviews, but loooong, rabid, hair-brained, foaming-at-the-mouth reviews, all extreme political rants.

What's amusing is the level of persistence these people have: Amazon.com has had to flush out dozens of reviews, especially around election time, but even months after it's over, they still have trouble keeping people from re-posting the same shit over and over again.

Miscreant Springsteen, like MoveOn and ACT, is under the putrid misguidance that America owes citizens "higher" wages, although America's are higher than TURD-world countries who really use low wages to boost company profit; owes flimsy environmental "protection" like Europe has abused, which damningly portends crippled economic growth; and embellish "civil rights" to such misuse that local and federal authorities weren't allowed to share information about terrorists--which was EXACTLY the case before the blessed Patriot Act of Ashcroft!!!!


That's what I thought when I listened to "Lonesome Day," too. What are the odds?

I'm surprised he left off Mepissa Etherbitch, Boner and Pisstem of a Clown.

Click on "see my other reviews" and check out his other rants. This guy ain't playin' with a full deck.

Here is one of my favorite lines from one of his other reviews (written on the very busy day of March 4, 2005):

What umbrages me worst is vitriolic despisal that some Natives and their white, afraid-to-be-branded, PC apologists assail on these inferences from Turner and supporters, that have been qualified so definitively, they're facts.


Don't umbrage this guy! You've been warned!
