36. But Carrie Underwood was cool with them after mocking Obama November 5th at the CMA Awards show:

I was looking for a Johnny Cash song after reading the Merle Haggard thread. A Pauliban made a nasty anti-Obama song out of Johnny's Folsom Prison tune. He's dead and can't speak out against them.

The search results are full of lies and say Cash would spit on Obama if he were alive. These people are like rabid dogs, they never stop and are so hateful.

Anytime one wants to cut them some slack to respect their 1A rights, this is how one is repaid. They have seared consciences.
