Elton John: “To Hell With Them”
He was referring to the “…some people in this country” that appear to him to be misogynistic.
What? Because we won’t vote for Hillary means we hate women? Announcement of the concert a few months ago seemed somewhat controversial, though not against the law (I guess), that a foreign national would be contributing indirectly to a Presidential campaign here in America. But I guess it passed the test.
Anyway, Hillary’s camp is claiming the concert raised $2.5 million.
This from Ben Smith at Politico:
There’s a real crowd at Radio City, complete with scalpers, and lines around the block for Elton John and the Clintons.
Toward the back of one line: Frank Luntz, Lanny Davis, and Doug Schoen. (”I used to be in business with Mark Penn,” Schoen joked.)
Inside, Bill Clinton introduced his wife, thanked the packed house for contributions to keep the race going, and asked for more, to shouts of “We miss you, Bill.”
“If you know anybody who didn’t come here tonight who could send some money over the Internet …,” he said.
“What I want you to know is, I’m still standing,” Hillary told the crowd. I believe that this country is worth fighting for, so we’re talking our campaign to Pennsylvania and to all the states that haven’t voted.”
Elton John was a bit edgier:
“I never cease to be amazed at the misogynist attitude of some of the people in this country,” he said. “I say to hell with them.”

Earth to the libs/left/dems:
I WILL NOT vote for Obama (Hussein).
NOT because I am a “racist” … but because I DO NOT AGREE with him. If he said/did what I WANTED in a president … I would be the first in line early on that November morning to vote for him. I do NOT trust him with our Constitution … and just as importantly our military.
I WILL NOT vote for Hillary Klinton.
NOT because I am a “misogynist” … but because I DO NOT AGREE with her. If she said/did what I WANTED in a president … I would be the first in line early on that November morning to vote for her. I DO NOT trust her with our Constitution … and just as importantly our military.
Got it?
Probably not …

Just because Elton John is a sperm-burpin queer and hates women, doesn’t mean the rest of us do.
I won’t vote for the shrill because she is nearly as left as hussein………not because she’s a woman.
April 10th, 2008 at 7:54 amWe’re going to shock all of these dumb assholes when we elect a black woman. If Rice were to take the invite from McCain i mean.
I hate the way they equate the 2 together
wont vote for Barack Hussein - then you must be racist.
wont vote for Clnton - then you must hate women
With me it all boils down to the fact that im not a communist and am not about to vote for one.
April 10th, 2008 at 7:55 amWhile I highly respect Sec./Dr. Rice and her amazing accomplishments, I want to hear her views on the war and things domestic (taxes, abortion, the over-activist courts, the border) …
However, being actively involved with the current administration, she is pretty much unable to voice her views.
Having said that, without hearing Sec. Rice’s views, and seeing her experience to date, I would say SHE is far more qualified than either of the two democrats running to sit in the Oval Office.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:08 amElton John was a bit edgier:

If you are on the left, hate speech is “edgy”.
Isn’t there a skin flute you could be playing somewhere? Douchebag.
Stay out of our politics if you are so easily offended, faggot.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:29 amI wonder why anyone in their right mind would give a flying fuck what the pole-smoker Elton John says, anyway.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:32 amI would like to hear her views as well. I couldnt imagine her being too radical though. and hopefully against abortion, thats mostly the thing about her i have no idea about.
not ultimately my first choice but if she ends up on that ticket ill be just as proud to vote for her as i am McCain. Would do a fine job im sure
April 10th, 2008 at 8:36 amThe flamer from Judas Priest is more entertaining, anyway.
The last thing that will influence my vote is a foreigner, particularly one that has personally insulted my core beliefs.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:44 amElton is a tired old queen and irrelevant.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:56 amIsn’t it funny though that a male who would rather be with another male (I will not call him a man - sorry)has the nerve to question how others relate with women.
I never did like that faggot’s music.

great comments, who cares what that old sperm burping queen thinks.
April 10th, 2008 at 9:57 amWhy is it always necessary for leftist celebrities/idiots to come out of the woodwork and put in their 3 cents worth?
April 10th, 2008 at 10:09 amFrom Day 1 when I heard a Elton John tune…I thought he was “gay”. And he hasn’t bothered to prove me wrong.
Who cares what he says. He’s an old, irrelevant queer.

April 10th, 2008 at 12:59 pmCan’t believe that fudgepacker is still suckin air.
I have no problem with Elton John as a musician. He is brilliant and talented.
Politically, he is a drooling moron.
I have no problem with Tom Cruise as an actor. He has proven himself capable in numerous films.
Politically (and spiritually) he is a dunce.
I have no problem with Shirley MacLaine as an actress; she is probably one of the ten best actresses this country has ever produced.
Intellectually, she ranks with tree-swinging apes.
I have no problem with any person who tries to be their best when they ply their trade.
But when I want advice on politics, I have no use whatesoever for artists. Not even John Voight or Robert Duvall, who are very smart conservatives.
Being a celebrity is TOTALLY UNRELATED to having a solid foundation in geopolitics or the machinations of government.
Can you imagine somebody asking Condi Rice “What is the most challenging role for an actress: Ophelia or Lady MacBeth?”
That’s what you do when you listen to Susan Sarandon talk about politics: you get a completely fucking ludicrous opinion from somebody who hasn’t a clue what they’re talking about.
Elton can go backstage and give himself a semen gargle for all I care. If he isn’t singing, I have no use for him at all.
April 10th, 2008 at 1:05 pm“I say to hell with them.”
And they say you suck. Now which scenario seems more plausible EJ?
April 10th, 2008 at 1:32 pmKevin M,
tell me about George Clooney, is he also a leatherhead or a cheezehead or a dumbhead…
I’d like your opinion
thanks in advance
April 10th, 2008 at 2:06 pmHey Elton: STFU. Go back to the U.K. You are not wanted in the U.S.
