8. Believe it's Johnny Cash's quote, who lost fans supporting Obama.

A slew of ugly videos errupted using version of his name to mock Obama, but I saw the him on cable news before his death saying something like that, almost word for word.

That comment has been scrubbed, replaced with takes on his name insulting Obama, insulting him for being in prison, but he was a much loved 'patriotic' country singer at one time. Those who have transformed the search results either work for the Koches or are hate-filled Dittoheads.

Those who have tried to say what Johnny Cash was about have been likewise insulted. Check the vitriol about Johnny Cash. This video is a long rant by a youtuber, who posts links beneath it to support his position that Cash was not a conservative.



Note this comment that daily psychological brainwashihg sessions with Rush inspire:

'Johnny was a communist just like you two. Look where he preformed in state prison to convicted felons. They are unregistered democrats .This has nothing to do with his musical performance. Numerous musicians are American hating communists. Dixie chicks for example. Fango I prefer your butch flat top hair cut. The settlers provided blankets and whiskey. The catholic church saved there souls.The federal government steeped to the plate and assigned reservations. Fango you sound bitter ?'

Garth Brooks, another well-known country singer also had good things to say about Obama:
