Dedicated to Gibbs From the Left"They don't really Care About Us"
Somehow this seems appropriate and in Keeping with the message Mr. Gibbs has sent to the "Professional Left"
and all the Left.

They don't Really Care About Us
Michael Jackson


skinhead, deadhead, everybody gone bad
situation, aggravation, everybody allegation
in the suite, on the news, everybody dog food
bang bang, shock dead, everybodys gone bad.

chorus:
all i wanna say is that
they don't really care about us
all i wanna say is that
they don't really care about us

beat me, hate me, you can never break me
will me, thrill me, you can never kill me
chew me, sue me, everybody do me
kick me, hike me, don't you black or white me

chorus

tell me what has become of my rights
am i invisible cause you ignore me?
your proclamation promised me free liberty, now.
i'm tired of being the victim of shame
they're throwing me in a class with a bad name
i can't believe this is the land from which i came.
you know i really do hate to say
the government don't wanna say
but if roosevelt was livin',
he would't let this be, no no.


chorus

9. Ahem, the sour bitter one appeared to be Gibbs. But whatever.
Michaels words are appropriate to the emotion conveyed by Gibbs. Many , Many people agree with that that they were "dismissed". The list of those offended is very long and encompasses far to many to mention. Paul Krugman, Alan Gayson, Racel maddow, Cenk, all are not "bitter, sour people". Neither are the thousands of disappointed voters who would like a versian of canadian health care among other things.

I do not speak for Michael Jackson, and neither do you. I merely say his words are appropriate to the feelings that Gibbs engendered in many people.
