Sheryl Crow Worries Angry, Uneducated Tea Party Protesters Will Become Dangerous
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 6:18 AM
Sheryl Crow is worried the angry, uneducated Tea Party protesters will become dangerous.
…Sort of like the angry, violent, leftists who beat up, stomped on, smashed women in the face, and bit the fingers off of tea partiers.
Kenneth Gladney was beaten, kicked and called racist names by Russ Carnahan’s leftist SEIU supporters after a town hall meeting in August.
NewsBusters reported, via FOX Nation:
Pop-star and courageous anti-toilet-paper crusader Sheryl Crow apparently has a new political concern: Tea Partiers.
The country crooner told CBS journalist Katie Couric that Tea Party members are uneducated, angry and potentially dangerous in an interview with Glamour magazine this June.
After Crow complained in the interview that Americans have become too blasé about politics, and that nobody has taken to the streets to cause “a riot or a revolution,” Couric correctly pointed to the Tea Party as an example of modern day activism.
“What do you think of the Tea Party movement? Because that is the specific sort of group of people who would say we’re out there, we’re getting involved in the process…,” asked Couric.
“I appreciate the fact that those people are out there and that they are fired up,” responded Crow, before adding that Tea Partiers “haven’t educated themselves…they’re just pissed off.”
“My main concern is that [the Tea Party is] really fear-based,” said Crow, a cancer survivor and environmental activist. “What’s coming out of the Tea Party most often, especially if you go onto YouTube, and you see some of the interviews with these people who really don’t even know what the issues are, they’re just swept up in the fear of it and the anger of it.”
“They’re not sure what they’re angry at,” Crow continued. “[T]hey don’t understand what’s happening on Wall Street.”
The singer also worried that the “uneducated” and “angry” Tea Partiers could even become dangerous. “[K]nowledge is power, and anything less than that when it comes to anger can be dangerous,” said Crow.

Hey Cheryl – Bite Me!

How about angry violent Democrat Congressmen who assault reporters? On camera, no less
Anyone who uses a celebrity or musician as a source for political advice should not be allowed to vote.
“Celebrities”… get over yourselves, and start spreading that wealth around… we peons gave it to you, you have more than you need, so give it back. That’ll be the day…

What a pathetic statement and completely indefensible.

I’ve never seen the teaparty people riot. Mostly minorities/welfare/druggies/union thugs are the ones rioting in the streets (ie the people who buy her records).
She needs to confront real rioters next time, they will treat her the way she needs to be treated.
flyoverland commented:
She has room to talk. She’s from the Bootheel of Missouri where half the people use the Sears Catalog for toilet paper, assuming they have indoor plumbing.

“[T]hey don’t understand what’s happening on Wall Street.”
Ok, Sheryl Crowe – educate me. Not that I care what a celeb thinks, but just for fun….try. Do you know what IS really happening on Wall Street? My guess is all you can do is recite the typical Leftist Liberal talking points, shoveled by ACORN, moveon.org, the marxists, and SEIU, not anything that reflects what is ACTUALLY happening on Wall Street. Like weak markets, for example; government forcing bad mortgages onto banks; regulations so binding that they cause increased joblessness, killing our economy and forcing businesses overseas; banks being taken over because they are “too big to fail” – but only the ones in bed with the administration. That’s just a start! At last look, stocks were down on the Dow 200+ points today. The up-and-down DJIA, rising gold prices, high unemployment, unsustainable debt, etc., all reflect our volatile and weak economy. Heck, even Dems are bleating that we are in or near a 3rd Great Depression. Getting a clue yet?
Maybe YOU are the ignorant one. Straw man arguments are fallacies. Educate yourself, and learn about US history, the founding fathers, and what our Constitution is REALLY all about. Then come to me and try to debate. Just try!
DINORight commented:

Another thing – you want to see angry protesters? Check out the YouTube videos of the G20 protesters – Marxists and anarchists all. They are the ones who need to be educated and gain some knowledge. SEIU protesters follow the Alinsky model. That involves NO education – just indoctrination.
Anti-capitalists are the ones who are violent. Not Tea Party protesters who want our country to follow the rule of law and the Constitution, lower our taxes, and stop spending our childrens’ futures away!
Knowledge is indeed power. Get a clue what you are talking about and you might gain some.
itoldyaso commented:
Now since Sheryl has spoken and was a background singer in MJ’s BAD Tour and the fact that she had a couple of hits, she is now blessed by the Bite Me Katie Couric to bestow her knowledge on the rest of us small people in America.
NOT!
daryl commented:
If that nasty dingbat would get off her “one square per restroom visit” ideas,her opinions could possibly be taken more seriously……..
Just imagine the stench emanating from around her after about a month on tour.
But wait. They don’t follow their own advice, do they? Their advice is just aimed at other people.
newton commented:
Considering the fact that a recent survey found Tea Partiers are, on average, much more educated than the general public, her statements are quite… uninformed and, shall we say it, uneducated…
Besides, I want to see how many degrees she has earned… not that it matters, because it’s not the degrees, it’s the education that matters in a person… something she doesn’t seem to show here.
Andreas K. commented:
I think that every single Tea Partier is better educated than the howling crow who has… a 100% unimpressive BA.
Music Composition, Performance and Education, yep that totally makes her an intellectual heavyweight.
Not.

I have never understood the appeal of Crow and her whiny voice. Give me a Ann & Nancy Wilson or the lead singer of The Motels anyday.

An aging Hollywood whore. She’s been banged by just about every celebretard out there.

She’s right. Look at what all of those violent Tea Partiers did in Toronto over the weekend. Burning cars, smashing shop windows, attacking. . . What?
Oh. They were leftists?
Nevermind.
BTW, when was the last time Crowe released a song that anyone liked?
Hose her.

It is Ms. Crow who shows here her lack of education – in a most profound way.

That’s funny. Because I’m truly terrorified of the uneducated, low income criminals who make up the majority of obama’s base.
On that note, I really hope somone makes a new app for my iPhone that helps you avoid the areas obama supporters live in since they’re almost always crime infested ghettos.
I bet this app would save a ton of lives. So tech nerds get on it!

SO true. Why don’t the libs acknowledge that Obama couldn’t have been elected if it wasn’t for his base of uneducated ghetto folk, uneducated druggies, uneducated criminals, uneducated migrant Hispanics…etc?
Finncrisp commented:
Our “uneducation” includes a review of the founding fathers, study of actual history, the U.S. Constitution, and more recently junk science, lies and damn lies from the left.
Maybe an informed electorate is a danger to these leftists.
Maybe Ms. Crow needs to get “uneducated” herself.
Betsy Ross commented:
Hey….One-sheet sheryl…..
Last time I checked, members of the New Black Panther Party, you know the ones outside of polling places during the 2008 election….yeah, those guys?….well, last time I checked they were not, I repeat, not TEA party patriots…..
Ummm….don’t recall anyone like you or your friends worried about their actions…..
just sayin’
Joanne commented:
I suppose she puts herself in the ‘intellectual’ category, instead of the stupid loser, with only half a brain category. People in the U.S. have good reason to be upset about the socialist Muslim in Office who will not provide any proof of his eligibility or unseal any proof of his past in any capacity.
Tim commented:
I just took a dump on my sheryl Crow CDs and used a whole roll of toilet paper to wipe.LOL
aprilnovember811 commented:
She’s calling us uneducated? Good grief, you voted for a lying sociopath, and you say this to us?
And you’re qualified to say this why? Because you have a microphone. Cheryl Crow is another useful idiot, as is Couric.
MarkJ commented:
Well, let’s look at Sheryl Crow this way:
Where else but in America can a confirmed nitwit rise to stardom, on the strength of her own medium-talent, and make bazillions of $$?
Hey, is this a great country or what?

They libs think anyone who doesn’t agree with them is “uneducated”. The arrogance, intolerance, ignorance, and yes-hate on the left is breathtaking.

I doubt one square of tp would be enough for the crap that comes out of her mouth.
Joanne commented:
At least intelligence people know that in actuality, in the scheme of things, they really know very little, but one thing they do know is that stupid people are obviously too stupid to know it.
LimoLibsStink commented:
Shrill bleach blond Crow:
There are just two things you have to watch for: One, People who use toilet paper. Two, Tea Party Taxpayers.
The last one is particularly dangerous. They have real jobs and pay taxes – both of which is caused by fear. They are afraid to let their families go hungry and wastefully pay taxes to the government.
I recommend off-shore bank accounts and lawyers. Here are some pointers: Disguise your limousine as a white parade float. That way the tax collectors will not know you have a limousine and will not look for your off-shore bank accounts.
Next, buy my designer shirt with the detachable sleeve. When taking a dump in the bathroom do not use any toilet paper. Just wipe your butt with your sleeve. When at the dinner table do not use any napkins. Wipe your mouth with your sleeve. Once the flies start buzzing around your head you know it is time to detach that sleeve and give it to the chauffeur for cleaning.
Remember, lice, crabs and one naked arm is a small price to pay for an ecologically clean environment. My limousine is belching fumes and I will leave you with my soiled sleeve. Enjoy. And, remember to get on the dole and enjoy your tax free money.
Viv commented:
Sheryl Crow, clueless air head, referring to others as uneducated..that’s a laugh.
jomojava commented:
Do you think that Sheryl and her ilk keep crowing this message because they really believe it? Are they trying to convince themselves?
Or is this just the same bullying tactics we normally see out of those that can’t win a debate on facts…if you oppose Sultan Oilbama policy, you’re a racist….if you oppose gay marriage, you’re a “homophobe”…etc….etc..
HandyBill commented:

I agree, Sheryl, educate me.
I would also like to know why this woman has a stage for anything other than singing. I can’t decide whether it is childishness that generates that sort of comment or just an arrogance that bears a striking resemblance to it.
One more piece of evidence that the press is really biased toward reporting only the most frivolous of anything. It is certainly much easier to stick a microphone in front of a celebrity to make fake news than the actual work of reporting hard news.
maura commented:
Many years ago Sheryl Crow made the decision to sing meaningless, banal pop tunes while other people elected to study history, economics and political science and then those people even obtain advanced degrees and then even develop further expertise in their chosen professions so that in 2010 when they open their mouths to speak….they merit listening to. To paraphrase Dean Wormer, Sheryl: fatuous, vapid and hypocritical is no way to go through life!
ice commented:
I wonder how Sheryl Crow could conclude ‘fear’ with comments from the Tea Party vs. her own party :
Tea Party….
‘stop the spending’
‘don’t tread on me’
‘don’t enslave our children’
Sheryl Crows party….
‘If Obama doesn’t get elected blood will flow in the streets’.
and
‘Get in their (conservatives) faces’.
and
‘If they (conservatives) bring a knife you (liberal) bring a gun’.
and
‘Hit back (at conservatives) twice as hard’.

Cheryl Crow is an intellectual wasteland.

This is the woman we’re supposed to believe wipes her butt with a single square of toilet paper. No wonder something smells around here.

Keep talking Sheryl Crow, you Tokyo Rosie, Sean Penn, Paul McCartney, and all of the angry, uneducated entertainers, please keep talking.

Cheryl thinks you can wipe your behind with 1 square of toilet paper and she calls Tea Partiers uneducated. Priceless!!
BarbaraS commented:
“Country” singer Sheryl Crowe? Aren’t most of country music fans in flyover country? Boy, these celebrities sure know how to p*ss off most of ther fans, don’t they?
Dixie Chicks, anyone? I propose that we “dangerous”and “uneducated hicks” stop buying her products along with all the products of other “intelligent” celebrities in Hollywood and elsewhere. Really, someone who says in public with a straight face that people should only use one sheet of toilet paper and two sheets for that other pesky problem should know what uneducated and unintelligent really is.
BarbaraS commented:
DinoRight
You are laboring under the supposition this empty head has a brain in it. Sheryl Crowe is repeating the liberal mantra in order to keep “in” with all the other idiots in Hollywood. If she said anything else, she would be unemployable and for sure wouldn’t be invited to all the drug parties and orgies these people put on.
wanumba commented:
There are two kinds of people in this world – thems that use toilet paper, and thems that don’t.
Betsy Ross commented:
Does using 1 sheet make you a stinky hippie?
Tom Stelene commented:
When these know-nothing celebrities make these political statements, like this one, or Rosie O’Donnell calling for nationalizing BP, why do we pay attention and get worked up commenting and all? What the hell do they know? Nothing. Let them spout their nonsense, but realize that it deserves to be ignored. Now a brain cell of mine has been wasted by learning what Crow said.
hlj commented:
Nice follow-up question by Couric no doubt… Oh, that’s right. She doesn’t do any relevant or probative follow-ups because she’s that ugly middle school girl who wants to go to the cool kids parties so she doesn’t want to make the cool kids look stoopid.

The one piece of toilet paper explains why Lance Armstrong didnt want her a– anymore

“To quote Laura Ingraham: ‘Shut Up and Sing’.”
In earlier centuries, when people had more sense, singers and actors were not idolized, but rather treated with suspicion as persons of dubious morals who should be kept away from children and anything easily stolen.

Sheryl Crowe should worry less about Tea Partiers and more about how long it’s been since her name has been on the Billboard list and when that might happen again. Because we all know what arts majors say when not signed to recording contracts, “Would you like fries with that?”

I thought like you do about this (and still do, for the most part). Then, it dawned on me that the American Idol-worshipping masses not only listen to these celebridiots but are also influenced by them. And some of those morons vote. So, it’s to our benefit to know what they’re being told to think and who they’re being told to vote for.

Even dumber than thinking that one square of tp is enough is thinking that using less tp will help conserve anything at all. Toilet paper, like all paper nowadays, is made from trees grown on tree farms by paper manufacturers for the specific purpose of using to make paper. As for the waste produced, anything made by nature or from nature’s products are easily broken down by nature.
In short, Crowe runs around with a filthy @$$ because she’s uneducated.
UpChuck.Liberals commented:
Obviously yet another Liberal doing their deep thinking in the shallow end of the pool. How much longer do we have to put up with this ?
Kiezsan commented:
Hey Cheryl; This Tea Party gal has a PHD. Think I might be smart enough to talk with you? I am up on all the issues and I am willing to discuss them at length with you. Just wondering if you are able to keep up. You don’t have to be smart to be an artist, you just have to be heard or show your work to maintain any sense of ego.
I’ll take an education any time.
militant conservative commented:
Love it when the leftards do this. It’s so easy, to refute. WE make America work, WE are America, WE are the educated workforce/lifeblood of America. Most actors and singers have ONLY a high school education and it is showing. You opened you mouth and removed all doubt. The TPM is effective and damn dangerous…..to Liberals and Rino’s.
powder is dry.

Yawn….
Who cares what Sheryl “One Sheet” Crow thinks?
Her time would be better spent helping her guru “Rev.” Al Gore release his second chakra. That is at least a subject she knows something about.
