don't mean to flame though I'm not going to keep this going
This post serves only to reinforce what these protestors believe is wrong with this country. Crap punk bands trying to make a dollar? Did you happen to notices that it was only $6 for the CD and DVD? Considering the overhead, packaging, liner notices, distribution, etc, there is not much of a profit margin here. What proceeds are generated have been donated to the punkvoter.org, so it is essentially non profit. What do they know about politics? Well if you'd taken the time to look a little closer, Fat Mike from NOFX (the founder of Fat Wreck Chords) explains his stance in the liner notes and elsewhere much more coherently and with more substantial evidence that you've provided crapping in my thread. Sick of seeing people speak out against the government? America is not for you then.
I'm not sure you can say that the post "serves only to reinforce what these protestors believe is wrong with thie country." Maybe it reinforces what YOU think is wrong with the country perhaps? As a 527 organization, one that will no doubt pay for ads against Bush or for GOTV efforts for democrats, this group is helping the Kerry campaign bypass the campaign finance reform that is a law of the land. I am sick of people bitching (oh, I'm sorry, "speaking out") when they can't formulate a "coherent" position without sticking to the Democrat party line. I believe that you Mr. Bat, as well as your hippy punk friends, should be able to shout as loud as you want and protest till you're too tired to chant. Just try to have something to say... ok? As far as "America is not for you then", let's try to be civil. As long as you're willing to show some respect to the soldiers fighting to ensure that you and yours can run your mouths, I'm willing to ignore you. Otherwise... in the words from an immortal South Park episode... "It's on!"

Edit: If you didn't intend to make this political, you could have simply linked to a "Hot" deal on a punk compilation. You didn't have to paste all the BS from the AMG review. I've seen you around in P and N enough to know better.
wth is wrong with you people...
a.) where does it make bush out to be worse than saddam?
b.) where is any disrespect given to soldiers?
try to keep the arguments relevant, people.
