Partisanship aside, did no one advise her beforehand about protocol and so on. It wouldn't have been so bad had it been relevant (and please, don't try to spin it it that it was) or if she could actually carry a tune. The crowd was polite of course, what else could they do in the face of a huge faux pas, a 'song' that had nothing to do with civil rights etc. Most people are being very kind about it though, but she shouldn't give up her day job. Hold the flames please.

Never mind, no doubt her faux pas got the desired results. Not surprised seeing where it is coming from, good character showing itself.

Why would I apologize, I�ve seen far worse on here in the form of vicious personal attacks and horrendous attacks on political figures for which no apology was required. I�ve seen far worse over the years including STFU, not just directed at myself either. No, I�m not required to post but I find it quite entertaining at times which is how I look at forums for the most part. However, I also thought that the same freedom of speech would be applied to me as is applied to everyone else so it�s disappointing to find that it really is a reality - that freedom of speech only applies to the left.
