Jello Biafra & Mojo Nixon "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" (2009 San Francisco)

[sherpa285]

The record this song comes from is hilarious.

[AUSROTTENY2K]

Hey, he might be fat but he still hasn't lost that awesome voice!

[nanorich11]

Isn't it just special that today's "liberals" stand slightly to the right of Richard Nixon, while the Teabaggers and Kochsuckers stand to the right of Quisling. Repeal Godwin's Law now! Poor Phil Ochs. It does seem he was too much of a visionary for even the 70's.

[jwatson626]

Jello is a slob. But he's our slob.

[ejenkins132]

Nazi Germany was a fascist state and in no way had a socialist form of government, despite the name "national socialist party." Socialism and fascism are pretty much at opposite ends of the spectrum. The only more opposite you could get is talking about communism and fascism.

[FredC1968]

@ejenkins132 The logic of calling Nazi's socialists is like saying the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea democratic or a republic.

[CatapultYourMom]

Well done, Messers Biafra and Nixon.

[ReachDeep1]

@surkhalam It's all talk unless you can back it up, peon. I would bet money you're some pathetic, lonely old man trying to make himself feel intelligent and important because he's never amounted to anything more than......you guessed it.......a peon. Delusional and in denial is no way to go through life, son.

[ReachDeep1]

@surkhalam Grow up. You sit there and post your comment to me trying to act like you're smarter than me in some way when chances are that you're just as ignorant as the average idiot. Like you said, ignorance and reactionary is no way to go through life, son.

[benigntumor]

Viva Jello!

[jaundicedi]

@baldur1377 Gravity is a harsh mistress!

[chickinchainmail]

 I was young when they were young, OMG I feel old now.

[kellythesinger]

If this was truly a free Country...These guys would be senators of California.

[eplouie]

By the some people's definitions, a guy like Jesus would probably be considered "mentally diseased."  Compassion for others seems to be considered a weakness, sadly.....

[ReachDeep1]

Liberalism is a mental disease.

[eplouie]

@ReachDeep1  God forbid if anyone would actually care about the poor!

[ReachDeep1]

@eplouie I once knew a poor woman that supported herself, 2 kids, and her husband on taxpayer funds. The issue that troubled me was that she faked a mental disorder and claimed that she had been molested when she was younger (I was friends with her and she told me this herself). There was nothing wrong with her and she could have worked if she wanted.....and her husband could have to. Was she poor? Yes. Was she milking the taxpayers? Yes. Was it right? No.

[eplouie]

@ReachDeep1 Whatever abuse that might exist in the welfare sector is minor compared to the funds abused by the corporate sector. Have you paid attention to the Wall Street abuses? How about subsidies for the oil companies? At least with "liberals," we're more likely to have an actual balanced budget, something that hasn't happened with the "conservatives" in over 30 years.

[ReachDeep1]

@eplouie "At least with "liberals," we're more likely to have an actual balanced budget" <------WTF? Obama has the largest imbalance in the budget in history. Keep making things up, someone might actually believe you one day. You do realize that the US has the second highest corporate tax in the world, right? And yeah, take a look at the budget and see where the vast majority of the money is being spent.

[eplouie]

@ReachDeep1 Denial is a river that runs deep with the "conservatives." Have you actually been paying attention? Did you not notice that the Clinton administration was the ONLY balanced budget in the past 20+ years? GW Bush inherited a surplus, but transformed it into a record deficit AND the largest government spending per capita? Obama inherited a disaster, and recovery will be a miracle. There's no easy solutions with the crap Bush left behind....

[eplouie]

@ReachDeep1 Here's a quote for the day....

"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

[eplouie]

@ReachDeep1 "Second highest corporate tax in the world?"  If that's the case, why didn't GE, Exxon/Mobil, Bank of America, Chevron, Boeing or Goldman Sachs pay ANY taxes last year?

sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/ne­ws/?id=67562604-8280-4d56-8af4­-a27f59d70de5

[ReachDeep1]

@eplouie they've found some form of loophole which I don't care enough to look up right now but I do know our tax code is the second highest in the world. If I had to guess, I would think its got something to do with the fascist we have in the white house.

[eplouie]

@ReachDeep1 So, where did you come up with this idea that the USA has the second highest corporate taxes in the world? WHERE did you find this? Apparently a big chunk of the corporate sector pays NO taxes, which makes your statement completely wrong.

[eplouie]

@ReachDeep1 Hold it.. you're saying "Obama is a fascist?" Didn't you read the standard conservative playbook? Isn't he supposed to be a socialist - the opposite of a fascist?

[ReachDeep1]

@eplouie since when are socialism and fascism so different? think about it, what we have seen from Obama is an idealism that takes the taxpayers money "for the greater good" (socialist idealism) and gives a large chunk of it to corporations (fascist idealism). I guess maybe I don't know exactly what to say about our president, but I do know its nothing good.

[chickinchainmail]

@ReachDeep1 Um if Obama is a socialist and a fascist, what are the Republicans?

ps. I suggest you do some reading into the true meanings of these words before yous start thowing labels around. Otherwise you just make yourself look stupid.

[eplouie]

I don't know what BIZARRO book of reasoning you're reading, but fascism and socialism are two very different types of government. Regarding that nonsense about about USA having the "second highest corporate tax code," the reality is the complete opposite. THe USA actually has the second LOWEST corporate tax code, based on recent data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Office of Management and Budget, and the Census Bureau.

[ReachDeep1]

@eplouie This is earth calling, we would like you to come back to us. Fascism and socialism both entail large, bloated government controls on the people. They both also entail mergers of corporatism and governmental entities. Both fascism and socialism are alive and well within the US today and that's the root of our problems. Does corporate bailouts ring a bell? How about the astronomically bloated welfare system? Open your eyes and see the world for what it is, not for what you want it to be.

[eplouie]

@ReachDeep1 Sorry, "Reach Deep" - you're in a world of your own, transcending reality... 

[Ranaiaen]

@ReachDeep1 If socialist are fascists then capitalists are nazi's.

[ReachDeep1]

@Ranaiaen "Nazi" is short for Nationalist Socialist. Real capitalists stand for small government and want nothing to do with the merger of government and business.

[BenjaminWirtz]

aren't the two of them pretty much on the opposite end of the political spectrum?

[GBFVI]

I saw this show, amazing! There was a gain of Canadian Rugby players there.

[GBFVI]

I saw this show, amazing!

[GBFVI]

I saw this show, fuckin' amazing!

[Verminshow]

Jello is just so fukkin' good at stikkin' it to the fukwits comprising the mass of this country. And yet all it's doing in response, is ever striving, to rape it, rend it, and refukkinpackage it as a self sustaining commidity for their shit. After a while, doing so just isn't going to be able to concele the outbursting desire to not "OBEY." I still hold jello soley responsible for why I make everyday a fukkin self defining obstacle.

[Verminshow]

@Verminshow Jello was my first drug of choice, back when I was exploring quite a few.

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

THAT is Jello Biafra?

THAT is Mojo Nixon?

Well, I haven't seen them in years. So...

[jbf138]

Liberals suck!!!

[Verminshow]

@jbf138 dude, representative democracy sux. All I know, is that if we want anarchy, the first step on obtaining it, which can also be partially exemplified, in the 12 steps to corperate freedom, is that measures are adapted, immediately, without bullshit, bought-out bureaucracy to "regulate" such desire.

[Verminshow]

@Verminshow As in my book, I make it a point to look, at the fact, that not only do emerging things, require the correctly stimulating-incubation factors, yet also thatsuch can be found, in potentially profoud(not to brag, yet to point out lineages of conscious impact, in one light or another), is that not only do you not need to be in, or even fukkin' run for office, to care enough to originate affective ideas,

[Verminshow]

@Verminshow let alone create political, or in this so decidedly case, ANTI political, momentum, to realize, that we really do need to all grow the fuk up, and grow beyond these bullshit bindings, or simply prove we're not up to it, and therefore should just die out anyways. So either way, anarchy is the optimal choice. Utter mayhem, cuz we all deserve a very serious ass kikkin' in such a case anyways, and that is jubilating...HA!

[Verminshow]

@Verminshow Tho as jello's tale prooves. You DON'T have to inject, corrupt, and otherwise fukking utterly trash yourself, with the politcal tycoon, incorperated fraternity initiation, in order to achieve even serious political significance, as to account, for striking the realization, not just in self, yet others, that, yes. It's politically significant, just as 2012 dooms day incorperated is suggested to be significant to us. The end, of something.

[Verminshow]

@Verminshow The doing away with. Evolving past such. Anyways, I was just in a really good mood right now, and since I'm online, I decided I'd spit this, potentialy utterly rhetorical shit, that is really old news to me, yet always feels good, to rehash on. Jello <3 You are the man dude.

[timpipe]

@jbf138 Thomas Jefferson was a liberal and burns in Hell with Hitler (according to most accepted Christian theology).

[liquorstore888888888]

old, fat, and still kickin

[124punkrock]

these 2 fucking rule

[Dunskaroo]

I like the updated lyrics haha.

[FungusMossGnosis]

Ha, I don't care what these guys call themselves, this is hilarious liberal self-loathing is Hawaiian shirts. Liberalism isn't the problem, of course. People hide behind all sorts of labels and fashions. Timidity and causal corruption had destroyed the Democratic party long ago. Nixon was the last real liberal president.

[Pilaf1984]

@poppopsix - good. Don't come to their concerts. None of their fans want your dumb ass there anyway.

[poppopsix]

@Pilaf1984 there concerts are in the bar of a slezzy bar on ave a in the village.10 people showed up and walked out

[mdtiforp]

Wow ,what a couple GEEZERS. You're awesome.

[FredC1968]

Everybody is aging. Damn, they kinda look me!

[mussman717word]

I love Jello Biafra, man, but Goddamn, he let himself go. It doesn't change anything, I still love the fat fuck, lol.

[MondoReyTV1]

@mussman717word and Mojo too,never thought he'd blimp out like that!

[Verminshow]

@MondoReyTV1 genetics is a bitch. But then again, it seems to be a majority thing. Less than most keep a physique of virtual lack of change I've noticed. It is kind of eye opening. But it's also "cute" in a sense, pretty funny, and simply natural. Then again, I'm not a straight up genticist. It made me remember the first time I looked at pics of jello, off of various albums I either bought or stole(from stores not individuals), websites, of him in his younger (prime) years.

[Verminshow]

@Verminshow Which also reminds me, that great thing he hits at...Characteristic integrity and moral value...This things definately do age...MORE BEAUTIFULLY! He was an explorer, in such a sense, as he is, an activist, artist, genius, innovator/inventer, etc... Anyways as I was saying, I saw him a fifty years old, back in 04 or 05 I think it was, when I looked at the pic. I was just like, "GOD DAMN!" Sorry jello, ya fat son'o bisshhhhh ha!

[Verminshow]

@Verminshow You're still fukkin' awesome and got those hilarious facial expressions down HA!

[junkyturd]

@mussman717word That happens when you get older!

[mussman717word]

@junkyturd

Not to Henry Rollins or Iggy Pop. I'm just kidding, harshly. I figure a guy who wrote a song called "I Kill Children" would be able to take it, lol.

[poppopsix]

i dont these guys listen to what they are singing or more important how they sound.like a gararge band awefull. but when your drunk and dont have a ear for music maybe its ok. i wouldnt pay to hear or see them

[poppopsix]

if this is talent country music is in deep trouble. cant sing and cant play guitar. must have a rich father .

[senorsquiid]

Dirty young punks turn into dirty old men. it's awesome

[ExUSSailor]

Hey, here's an idea, comment about the video, or shut up.

[jwatson626]

Wow. This hurts to watch.

[uvkezalonje]

[TheFrenchSnob]

I would kill to see them live in france...

[gortutay]

loL...biafra looks fat and old.

[ramone138]

Yeah people tend to look like that after some time. Except for you, you will be young forever.

[gortutay]

I may get old but not fat. I can control my eating habits.

[ramone138]

Well good for you, nobody gives a shit about your weight.

[gortutay]

Nobody that posted here cares, youre right. EXCEPT FOR YOU LOL!

[ramone138]

Wow, you totally fucked me up with that one. You must get all the pussy.

[gortutay]

Look I think we got off on the wrong foot. I love the Dead Kennedys and even Lard as much as the next guy, and I don't see why my comment about Jello Biafra should piss you off.

[petethebastard]

@ramone138 Just as Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee will always Teenage Lobotomies!...

Punk isn't about being young and thin and fit and healthy, it's about attitude, not fashion!

PtB

[petethebastard]

@petethebastard I'm old-ish and not as trim as I was when I saw DK, Ramones, The Stranglers, The Damned, Cosmic Psychos, Mr Floppy, The Philistines, L7, Died Pretty, Violent Femmes, Have A Nice Day, etc etc...

But I still stir thoughts at the school, I still try to make people think about "STUFF"...

PtB
