Oh the betrayal.
Pro-Bush Neil Young Shocks Leftists
The left-wing group that calls itself People for the American Way got the shock of its life when it honored peacenik Canadian rocker Neil Young - and he said President Bush's anti-terrorism measures were necessary.
"We can't forget what brought us together and what we're living for, what makes us who we are, even though to protect freedom it seems that we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time," Young said Tuesday at the limousine-liberal group's annual dinner in (where else?) Beverly Hills.
More than a few eyebrows were raised, Reuters news agency reported Wednesday.
"It is a law that we get a chance to get them back. It's very important not to forget that.
"It's a tough time for all of us who believe in a certain way of life to come to grips with the fact that we have to kind of make a - what do you call it - this word's hard for me - I think it's - compromise. That's right. But it's temporary, and we can't forget that it's temporary. We're going to do the job, and then we're going to get back to being who we are."
Young, who received the outfit's "Spirit of Liberty lifetime achievement award," recently had the blame-America-first left grumbling when he recorded the song ''Let's Roll'' as a tribute to the doomed passengers who overpowered their hijackers over Pennsylvania on Sept. 11.
Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of ``South Park'' and the failed "That's My Bush!" sitcom, also had the whine-and-cheese GWLs (Guilty White Liberals) gasping when Parker said they were proud Republicans.
``It's true," said Parker, dressed in a garish stars-and-stripes suit.
