Toby Keith says he's "unfairly portrayed by the media and his critics"
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,156791,00.html

Nashville, Tenn. — Toby Keith has tangled with Peter Jennings and the Dixie Chicks over his music, criticized the media for its coverage of the Iraq war, tweaked the Country Music Association over awards snubs and threatened to flee his record label.

Keith feels he's been unfairly portrayed by the media and his critics as a hardcore right winger. While he's backed the American troops in his songs and supported President Bush's re-election, he describes himself as a conservative Democrat who doesn't always agree with the administration.

Back in Oklahoma where he and his wife of 21 years, Tricia, live with their three children, he's campaigned for Democratic candidates including Gov. Brad Henry.

"I get brushed with this big, gigantic red, white and blue brush. But I don't mind," he says. "I look good in red, white and blue."

12. Hmmm....

Gee Toby, do you think that song about putting a boot in their ass had anything to do with it????? :eyes:

To his credit, I think it's admirable that he's stayed married for 21 years. Considering that he's probably had any number of young lovelies just ready for the taking, I'll give him props for staying with his wife.

30. Just checking out your Tower of Power..
do you have something to do with them? I used to do some artist relations things with Yamaha music, many moons ago, would be kind of cool to hear what's going on with the music community these days, now that I am so very disconnected with it..

17. As he himself once said...
Hey Toby..."Shut your blowhole."

Toby Keith..biggest war profiteer since Haliburton.

What has 8 teeth and an IQ of 140? The first 8 rows of a Toby Keith concert.

Edited on Sat May-21-05 08:20 PM by Parrcrow
What kind of low self esteem must this jerk have that he feels he's getting short changed by the media. Does he feel the slobbering right-wing media isn't praising him enough or that liberals should kiss his ass too?:nopity:

cry me a river dickhead:cry:

21. Sadly enough ...

He's telling the truth.

If you knew the area where he's from, you might find it amazing he could support Brad Henry, but he did and does. Putting up a Brad for Governor sign in your front yard where he lives could get you thrown out by the housing association.

24. I consider this a positive sign--it's no longer profitable to pander to
the Right, so now it's time to whore yourself out to the Left--any takers?

Didn't think so.

He said this poop on FAUX, though? Interesting, considering FAUX's recent ratings slide.

26. Why doesn't Mr. "troop supporter" don the ODGreens and fight?
Like Bush, it is easier to talk tough and mouth patriotic slogans than actually serve the country by enlisting and actually attending.

31. i heard he's a registered Dem.
Although, so is Zell Miller :eyes:

as far as i'm concerned, if he loves the war so much, he can sign up instead of doing the USO thing
