Madonna backs down from wearing Muslim bridal dress in music video

Madonna backs down from wearing Muslim bridal dress in music video. “…her advisers convinced her to ditch the political stunt because of the outrage it would be likely to cause.” She’s a big Obama donor so she can’t be worried about being arrested for causing outrage. Is she suggesting Muslims are more violent than Christians, Jews, Buddhists, etc?

  • All talk and no action. Proves again that the left can and will say stuff that creates controversy but won't do what they say they will. At least she left for awhile and lived in England. Too bad she's brought her tramp has been ass back to America.

  • I think she should do a benefit concert, in a heavily Islamic country, for those poor, downtrodden people. Without security, of course. Seeing as how they're such a peaceful people.

    • Right. Let's have every left wing Muslim apologist travel anywhere in the Islamic world and advocate gay marriage, relaxed drug laws, women's rights and any other liberal cause. They are all multi-culturists so those cultures are no better than ours in their view. What could go wrong?

  • It's interesting and and instructive how "bold and transgressive" performers, artists and writers suddenly develop acute cultural sensitivity when it comes to people who just might kill you if you offend them.

    Anyway, you can say or do anything to offend Christians, it's much easier and more lucrative.

  • She's like every other libtard loudmouth, it's all good when someone else dies because of the shit that comes out of her mouth, or because of the stupid shit she does to intentionally piss off other people, but when it's her that the anger will be directed towards, she becomes the actual coward she's always been. Libtards have no conviction for their own ideology. How typical!

  • I went to a Neal Morse concert in Seattle last night. No costumes. No hype. Just astounding musicianship and a positive message.

    What a concept.

    • I always have to laugh at people when they suggest the reason they like acts like Usher (or his ilk) is because "he/she is such a great dancer". That's like saying I enjoy movies that Tom Cruise stars in because he probably smells really nice.

      • My 12-year-old goddaughter was riding in my car and Yes was playing on the stereo. They were doing their usual complex instrumental passage; you know, 5 minutes of synth and guitar before any singing started. My goddaughter asks, "How many guys are in this band?" I said, "Five." She then asks, "What do they do while this music is playing?"

        I held back a guffaw and informed her, "They're actually playing the music."

        • Classic, save that one to relate around the Holiday Dinner table while the 'droids clear the dishes. Reminds me of long ago when my youngest ssh'd me and said "I'm trying to watch this song." (MTV)

  • She has always been, and always will be, style over substance. And a person so lacking in conviction can never be expected to demonstrate any sort of "integrity" even a warped one.
