R.E.M's Michael Stipe Talks about Politics & Obama (for Mog)

[rickrik00]

That little faggot (closet case, I might add) thinks his shit don't stink.

[littlefuzzer]

isn't there something about Michael Stipe that you want to kick him in the face with golf cleets

[Vanmeter815]

No actually I like the guy, he's a straight shooter.

[DMMP28]

So do I. I have alot of respect for this man.

[Vanmeter815]

Ya, and I don't really think anyone can possibly point out anything false or indecent of what he said here. I'm not really a Democrat, but there is nothing said here that is silly or stupid.

[Vanmeter815]

Except for how he called the Republicans, the hillbill camp. I don't know about that one, but whatever I thought it was funny.

[taylorsurfer]

Way to be an intolerant prick

[xxREM86xx]

michael stipe is the coolest thing that ever happened to music.

[littlefuzzer]

Michael Stipe always trys to sound like this "informed" political activist.He just makes up shit to sound overly concerned.This dipshit who is interviewing him is sitting there with that"Oh..Michael you are such a smart little homo..tell me more about Barak O'Spookster" face.

[Stepper11]

He's not stupid for supporting Obama. It's just that people have been driven to desperation by the madhouse we've made of DC. Our political system needs to be overhauled, and they look at Obama as a new way. Sadly, I think they will be sorely disappointed by this Chicago machine politician who, despite Stipe's naive faith, comes with a long list of favors due and friends to stroke.

[ThomasRowbottom]

I love how... Modern day hippy Michael is. A caring person, passionate, loving, talented... Michael is a all around great decent person. Who cares if he is gay. Im half a step from being Michael Stipe (lead singer, liberal as fuck, write lyrics that mean something, cars bout environment, for Obama, cares a lot about the fans) the only major difference is Im a Bi-Sexual. Love you Michael!

[ronoman88]

Listen to how inarticulate and stupid he sounds.

[ThomasRowbottom]

Hmmm... funny to me how you can say that he sounds inarticulate and stupid. Fact is, he smarter then you would imagine. More then that he has conviction he actually believes and stands up for something. Oh and just to throw it out there, that stupid sounding guy has more money and is more famous then you will ever be. Sometimes it pays to sound like a goof!

[DMMP28]

Actually Michael is quite smart. He might've sounded like that because he might've been nervous. I heard he's a pretty shy guy.

[taylorsurfer]

He is a bad public speaker, that's why you need to listen to the lyrics of the songs before you call him stupid. Thanks

[ronoman88]

Wow Michael's for OBlama. How cool. What a dope.

[tscardin]

of course he is for Obama....hes gay......

[taylorsurfer]

And intellegent

[NegPhil]

HOPE
