Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son

Here is a video I made for my COM 370 "Persuasion and Social Movements" class at SUNY Oswego. The assignment asked us to look at a social movement (Anti-Vietnam War), and to analyze an artifact from that movement (the song).

Thanks.

@mafiaman500 Sadly, Youtube isn't letting me thumbs down your idiotic comments. "the people who dislike are from vietnam" What? That doesn't even make sense. This song isn't making fun of people who went to Vietnam or are from Vietnam, its making fun of the people who are all "GOGO WAR" but got themselves out of the current-time draft because they were rich

@kestkr: Patriotism is a citizens right to peacefully protest if the country they reside make mistakes. When you pledge allegiance to something, your hand is not required to be on your heart. The change I seek has come to this country, we have health care, the iraq war is over, we finally have regulation of the big banks and wall street reform. BTW, Mr. Birther, the president denounced the rev. remarks vehemently. Though, I'm sure you disregarded that. Typical of the venom from the right.

@kestkr Right. And what are you smoking? Barry attended a church were the good Rev Wright excoriated this country. Barry was photographed bowing to the Saudi King. Barry was photographed along with other Dummycrat candidates WITHOUT his hand on his heart during the pledge. Tell me again how's that change working for ya?

@frank02111 George is more patriotic?...he was MIA while he was serving. There are also other forms of patriotism besides serving your country. Such as working for the comminity. Obama is 20X the patriot Bush or Cheney, or any of the other Republican candidates could ever hope to be.

@frank02111 George is more patriotic than Barry every could be. By the way, how's that change working for ya?

And if you really want a true understanding of the Vietnam War, just ask any Vietnam Vet, they'll tell you the truth, it was all bullshit and propaganda, lives were lost or destroyed and all for what??
