Chris Shiflett says Get Deputized and Join the Citizens' Posse

[JupiterStorms]

So....something tells me it didnt go very well or?

[eusebor]

u americans just don't get why the health care reform is so important for all of you!!

[rrwakefield]

So does anyone really want to attend this bands performances now that you know that they stand FOR the communizing of America? The Progressives/Communists want to destroy our freedoms. Fight back now and let your senator and congressman know that they are out. Find good Truly Tried and True Conservatives to replace them.

[veprii]

I swear to do everything in my power to make you get your filthy hands out of my pockets and off of my money. Get your own damn job, buy your own damn house, buy your own damn car, buy your own damn INSURANCE and quit stealing from others you filthy liberals. I've worked all my life to get what I have. It's MINE, not YOURS. YOU don't get to divvy up MY money to hand out to the lazy masses.

[rrwakefield]

Very well stated!

[rowlandstebbins]

Not a bright man. Sanctimony does not equal intelligence, dude.

[GiacomoKnox]

Yet another clueless limousine liberal, insulated from the general public with wealth he obtained from the sweat of parents who had to by his awful music for their kids. I'll not raise my right hand, but just one finger, is that ok?

[MWAX69]

ha! you just took an oath against yourself!!!

[WhatBubbaKnows]

Shiflett, some gall you got ... swearing to uphold the Constitution in the same breath with demands to violate it.

Rights are not created nor granted by governments, only recognized and protected.

Rights do not multiply, they do not fluctuate with the wants and whims of sniveling fools.

Regardless of what 'laws' you and your socialist ilk manage to produce, healthcare will always be a privilege. It will never be a right.

Stick to the guitar, slap whoever convinced you that you had a brain.

[luncheaterguy123]

Maybe the people that Chris knows are too stupid to take care of themselves in a free market economy but I'm not.

[hamace]

Did this musician say he wanted a war? Is he threatening me? I have a right not to have my neighbors burden me. I will decide who I help and who I abandon.

These tough talking liberal ought to watch their mouths, they aren't as hard to get at as they think.

[downriggershop]

Chris, can you upload another video on election day in November? We want to watch your head explode as the Dems are decimated. That would be a lot more entertaining than the last Foo Fighters album.

[txgp17]

The USSR didn't dissolve, it's just relocating to North America, courtesy of the Democrat Party.

[hamace]

It seems when the "wall" came down the spirit of Lenin came to America. Except our commies are on Wall St.

[goandfuckoff]

Back in the day, folks thought they had the 'right' to own black folks and use them as farm equipment. Obviously, slavery is not a right.

So why do you douchestains think that demanding free service from those who work in health care is different from when you (yes, you, Democrats) thought black folks made fine farm implements?

Fuck you. You push this shit through, and there will be blood in the streets - and since we tea-party folks are the ones who believe in private ownership of guns...

[jolati]

Chris

STFU and play the music. You have no idea what you are talking about. Dumbass.

[chrisbraly]

I liked you better when you played guitar and didn't tell me how to pay for other people's stuff...

[carmenbarlow]

Hey dude, I have a lot of respect for you, but seriously just stick to your music & go and have a shave.

[jakematters]

Seriously. I'd go old testament on your ass, Shiflett..

[jakematters]

Badges? BADGES!? I would grind down your badge into powder, mix it with water, make you drink it, and finally slit your throat to watch the whole concoction mix with your blood on the way out of your esophagus..

[zackorie1]

Some people really don't know what the word "Right" means. You have no "Right" to someone else's property, Chris. Thus, you have no "Right" to have the Gov't confiscate their money to pay for your healthcare costs.

You have the "Right" to spread YOUR wealth around as much as you want, just not mine.

Thanks anyway!

[txgp17]

^THIS^

[gojoe36]

Hey Chris.....do me a favor and quit taking breaks from the band for your stupid messages. Dang idiot is reading a cue card. I have a right to call you an idiot....it's not a privilege...the government has granted me this right. I don't listen to your bands songs...I thought Foo was something mad chimps threw at each other....anyway Chris, get back to work so you can pay for MY health care you freaking looser!

[Dewdaahman]

regulate the insurance companies, don't commit treason by mandating everyone get gov't healthcare..

[rpierret]

Yes have Congress listen to pot head muscian's because they know what they are talking about.

[MrBWB]

I love how george washington is at the center of their logo/badge. "yes, lets choose close to the most minarchist president in history, and have him represent our socialist ideals!"

[sirebral]

More vacuous, blinkered ideas from the people who brought you unfettered substance abuse, overdoses, unstable marriages, paternity suits and the botox stare.

[ATOMandYVES]

Chris Shitlette, FU & STFU. Health care IS NOT A RIGHT, you stinking neo-commie.

Look closely at the vid. On his palm is written: "We're fucking morons. Kick our asses, PLEASE. We deserve it."

[tubaboy71]

Good I am going to break every foofighters cd I own and will refuse to listen to them/ever replace them. The idiot in this video doesn't even know what the constitution is and he should be mad at the democrats who had a super majority to pass a bill no one wants!

[ATrainish]

Weather forecast: Partly cloudy with 100% chance of douche chills!!

[lou1785]

I understand my post below will be removed shortly since we can't have anyone making too much sense on this board.

[lou1785]

@rebouel

1)Medicare/Medicaid denies more coverage than any other private insurer.

2)Medicaire/Aid is 36 trillion in the red. Way past LBJs budgetary projections - you can expect the same from this disasterous bill. Gov't run = FAIL

3) Health care is NOT a right - stop mangling the Constitution. If it was; then 52" plasma TVs, BMWs, garden gnomes etc. are as well.

Citing the "general welfare" arguement is typical, old BS peddled by ignorant leftist elitists.

And you talk about facts?

[rebouel]

What kind of human are you? Seriously, health care is a right for ALL Americans. Medicare is a fine insurance.

[nofalltoofar]

Dear moron, please recognize that the "Constitutional rights" you claim to be defending apply to the business-people you are trying to harass.

If you want to fix healthcare, tell Congress to tear the rules for healthcare companies down so the cheapest healthcare provider across state borders wins.

Alternately, how about Hollywood and all of the elite rock-n-rollers pay for everybody else's healthcare? I like that idea. They make more than all the CEO and execs combined.

[truthforamerica]

Obama is spending trillions in deficits yet these same activist idiots don't care about that. By the way, the dumb masses wanting healthcare as a right love to demonize the private sector. The average profit margin of health insurance companies was 2.2% last year. All of the largest companies' profit together is 1/7th of the waste and fraud that Medicare has alone. Yet again, we have all these idiots who put this Marxist in the White House.

[rebouel]

Better get your facts strait and wake up from that truth fantasy thingy you have going on.

[Dhammawitt]

all smoke and mirrors. Why does the white house have to keep lying about statistics regarding health care, getting 'celebrities' who live a life independent of consequence? When the CLEAR MAJORITY of Americans dont want this BS and they keep pushing, what does that say to you?

[Dhammawitt]

he had to take a break from the band for this??

[moontooth]

Put all the emotions to the side and look at what Kucinich is saying about the healthcare bill, from his standpoint this bill is for the big insurance companies and he explains it in detail.

Also end the Wars and stop the drone bombings of Pakistan

[tommybarriosdotcom]

"Join us to send a message to big insurance companies -- stop blocking reform or we will shut you down." What arrogance!

What a moron! This fool does not have any idea of the power of the insurance industry.

He'll be the next one found dead in a motel room full of drugs!

[tommybarriosdotcom]

My response to this IDIOT is the same for all LIBTARDS that want to give out rights where there where NONE before is this, if it costs money then let those who believe in that shite, fund said shite THEMSELVES, not me or the rest of the country. Mr Shiftless, and his progressive ilk, need to put his money where his is mouth is first! It always easy for folks rolling in the dough to go around spouting libtard platitudes while the rest of us have to slave for a living to pay the taxes needed!

[tommybarriosdotcom]

I solemnly swear to protect and defend the Constitution and everyone I care about from F-ing Liberal F-tards like this loon and all others like him. That includes Obomber!!

America Again in 2010!

[tonybonez]

This guy is an idiot, he takes an oath to defend the constitution when the constitution is against government involvement in healthcare.

Even Obama is not proposing socialized healthcare or even a public option. The healthcare industry loves Obamacare because it just gives them money.

[i8topees]

"News flash" Your all gonna die someday and no one can prevent that! Not even the best policy! Or the best doctor for that matter! when it's time to go! Your going! So quit trying to make people believe different! P.S I would like to thank the government and drug enforcement for getting rid of all the illegal drugs that were coming into the U.S.A! Great Job!

[Spongebobdaman]

I raised my hand but then i realised i wasnt american

[Dhammawitt]

ur more american than this ignorant assclown

[Spongebobdaman]

dont you have to live in America to be an american, hell i hav´nt even been to America?

[Dhammawitt]

hmm....in terms of citizenship, yes. in terms of spirit no. If you believe we're all created equally with inalienable rights....i'd say you have the same spirit as most Americans. You may not want to audition for foo fighters apparently but most people would respect you

[Spongebobdaman]

Finally some respect, sniff

[Starowicz9]

Why stop at healthcare as a fundamental right? If you are using that logic we should make homes, food, and clothing all rights guaranteed by the government. Why not, right?

[3hitnu11]

I solemnly swear to protect the constitution against WORMS AND MINIONS WHO CANNOT THINK FOR THEMSELVES LIKE YOU. I SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION FROM TECHNICALLY ILLEGAL HEALTHCARE THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS RAMMING DOWN OUR THROATS. I SOLEMNLY SWEAR I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ANY OF YOUR GARBAGE MUSIC AND DAMN SURE NEVER WILL

[sniper71267]

What I really wonder is how this video ended up in the most viewed video when it only has 8000 hits in 3 days. I see so many that get over 100,000 hits in a day dont make it on the most viewed list how did yours get there. Oh yea the government controls the internet now dont they. Tell the government we are not listening anymore.

[tommybarriosdotcom]

Don't you know that the BIGGEST Libtards on the planet run Google which now owns YouTube! Hello get a clue!

[sniper71267]

@tommyb LOL Yea I know, just trying to teaching the others who have taken far too many fluoride tablets in their lives and their minds are welded shut. So many still deny the truth and cant see that a video of only 8,000 views is on the most watched video. Its obviously propaganda. All the other videos listed with it have no less than 30,000 views.

[tommybarriosdotcom]

Thanks for the feedback Sniper but I am not a Kool-aide drinker of the right either! I don't believe in that fluoride BS! But I do believe in the basic principles of the Constitution that are so necessary to keep the great country that we have today.

As Ben Franklin said to a lady questioning him about what they had given the States after the ratification of the Constitution" A Federated Republic madam, if you can keep it" A Federated Republic we are, NOT a Democracy!

[sniper71267]

@tommy not a kool-aid drinker yet but the facts are you know something is wrong just like I did. Soon you will see it all fall into place like dominos. The people in congress try to act like they are just simple minded retards but the facts are they come from the best schools in the world and everything they are doing is intentionally. What their end plan is who knows but I know I will not be a part of it. I am sure you will not either. That is why their plans are kept in the dark.

[sniper71267]

Here are 3 videos that should open your mind to the truth. Please spread them to everyone you know and have them do the same. Its time for the rest of America to wake to the horrors our government causes over lies.

(The Video The USA Army Doesn't Want You To See) (A FireFighter for 911 Truth Finally)

(Criminals For Gun Control 1 Home Invasion)

Funniest gun control commercial they will never show you on TV because it is so true.

[faxigal]

The profits of the whole health insurance sector last year were only 2/3 of Wal-Mart's ALONE. 85 industries were more profitable than health insurance. Their profit margin is around 3.3%. This clown is nuts or stoned. He demonizes everyone but the Jews. He swears to uphold the Constitution, then calls anyone who disagrees with him a "criminal" and tries to organize a mob to prevent them from even meeting. First Amendment? Ha! This little conspiracy may well violate the law. It's RICO time.

[bardofoc]

This has got to be some of the funniest shit I've ever seen on Youtube. But, its also kind of sad. I dont believe Shiflett is willing to lead our country down the road to self-annihilation. He really doesnt understand the consequences of this debate nor the the consequences his actions might lead to. At least he is being civil in his discussion and not acting like a hatemonger or using inflamatory speech.

[lou1785]

Hey Chris, you forgot to mention Big Government - just stick to playing music, otherwise stay outta ish you know nothing about.

Not once did you mention as to "why" you are against these greedy corporations. Instead, you just go with the typical M/O favored by the entertainment industry, super rich, elitist mindset - which is to attack baselessly, incite outrage, & encourage todays useful idiot -

- because you'll adopt the have nots, but you have 600 acres that seperates you from them.

[phxazjarhead]

Sorry, but you are in the minority.

Most people like their insurance.

Please, you aren't anywhere associated with the Tea Party.

Where in the Constitution is healthcare a right? Please don't give me the General Welfare Clause, because that is not what it is meant for.

Good luck, Posse!

"Raise your hand and repeat after me!"

"I am a douche!"

[LarryNocella]

Thanks Chris. I totally agree.

[kryptoart87]

I will run for Congress Illinois district 10 in 2012 Independent party

ArtForCongress. webs com

[HostileNegotiator]

Thanks for posting. Been waiting for this. Sorry I couldn't be there. Death to tyranny!

[OregonEscape]

Wow. More of the entitled rich claiming that health care is a right. Show me where in the Constitution it is written. I have a better idea, how about some of these uber rich types put their money where their mouths are. If they want this to pass so badly, put up your own funds to pass it. Seriously, how about the will of the American people, or wait, that probably doesn't matter to you. Just get 'er done? Really. FAIL.

[canj1]

The rich are the ones fighting this with the ignorance of others.Why do you think they are rich in a FOR PROFIT system. 45,000 die every yr. because of no health care or being DENIED coverage after yrs. of paying into the FOR PROFIT system. Hey Oregon..either you are a troll or is ignorance really bliss?

[HostileNegotiator]

Don't mind Oregon. He's paid to say that.

[phxazjarhead]

Hey, ever ask yourself how many people die WITH healthcare?

Everyone has health care!

Get a life.

[sturatt2]

Cool?! No, just the opposite bud. You are an embarrassment to rock and roll. I doubt you'd dare debate a real guitarist like Ted Nugent on the issue. You can get off your soap box anytime and learn that the consensus of Americans do not want this waste of money that our country can't afford. Go tour with Green Day or something.

[canj1]

Sturatt2, if you are actually paying attention this will save money, including for you. Americans do want this, that is one of the reasons the Presidential election was a landslide. Stay healthy or you'll be kicked off your ins. if you have any.

[sturatt2]

Do your research. Even if there are small savings it won't be for 10+ years and in case you live in a hole, our economy is still in the tank. You equate the printing of money with it growing on trees and have no sense of responsibility. The '08 election wasn't a referendum on healthcare, that is completely ignorant. I am healthy; it's 'you' I'm worried about, and I don't want to pay for your irresponsibility regarding your health.

[HostileNegotiator]

Don't mind sturatt2- he's paid to post that.

[bardofoc]

R U F-en Serious? Americans really want Obama's healthcare club rammed up their asses? How many Americans have u spoken to? Just your mom & dad? If any version of this liberal healthscam gets through congress, there will definitely be a landslide come November.

[phxazjarhead]

These libs keep saying you have to buy car insurance, so why not health insurance and why aren't pre-existing conditions covered.

Well, they never quite go far enough.

Do you get into an accident and then go buy insurance and expect the insurance company to pay out for your pre-existing car damage?

No.

Libs are idiots!

[redstateabsentee]

Yawn. Lame.

[momcyr]

Awesome idea! I love Foo Fighters and appreciate Chris Shiflett taking the time to speak up for folks who need help in the fight for affordable, quality health care for all! Thanks, Chris!!
