It's not a campaign if a rock star doesn't get mad about a politician using their music without permission.
Following in the steps of David Byrne v. Charlie Crist and other legendary artist versus candidate smack downs, Tom Petty is reportedly preparing to take legal action against Michele Bachmann's campaign, after she played his 1977 hit "American Girl" at her 2012 announcement rally in Iowa Monday.
Petty's manager tells NBC's Kelly O'Donnell the rocker wasn't pleased about the use of the song and is planning to send a cease-and-desist letter over the matter. It's the second time Petty has asked a GOP politician to stop playing his music. During the 2004 campaign, Petty issued a similar letter to George W. Bush's re-election campaign after it played the singer's hit, "I Won't Back Down," at political events.
Usually, a cease-and-desist letter settles the matter, but the legal spats can get nasty. In 2008, Jackson Browne sued the Republican National Committee, Ohio Republican Party, and John McCain's campaign for an ad the Ohio GOP ran featuring his song, "Running on Empty." When the parties couldn't get the lawsuit dismissed, McCain publicly apologized.
Earlier this year, as The Ticket previously reported, Byrne sued Crist's campaign for playing a Talking Heads song in an ad against his then-GOP opponent Marco Rubio during the 2010 campaign. Earlier this year, the suit was settled after Crist recorded a pretty embarrassing video apology for using the song, "Road To Nowhere," without Byrne's permission.
A spokeswoman for Bachmann's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
i'm sure she can find some redneck country song to use. why don't they think they have to get permission,it happens every campaign

Not my girl, but I would pay for tickets to see her mud wrestle Palin.
And you know you would too...
-
Rolling Stones..."The Bitch is Back" ?

Didn't we go through this last time, when Heart blubbered about Sarah Palin using their song "Barracuda", as she was known as "Sarah the Baracuda" during her basketball days in high school?
Politicians should just go to World Wrestling Entertainment and contract Jim Johnston, to deliver custom-made songs for their campaign.

I think Crazy Train would be a good fit

Funny that people call her crazy considering obama's record thus far.

How does Obama's record (whether you like it or not) have any bearing on the batshit crazy stuff that Bachman says

Very simple - if she is the standard of "crazy", yet according to far leftists obama's statements do not deserve the same qualification, than the term is utterly meaningless.

good grief you can't be serious
Obama actions (whetever you think about them) are sole and separate from Bachmans statements or anyone else for that matter
are you really this f'ng dumb

Not at all, the term is rendered meaningless, same as the term "racist", by you far leftists who are utterly blind to worse shit your messiah does that you sit silent by.
I admit bachmann hs said some silly shit, but it is inconsequential compared to the utter insanity spewed by the black plague Obama that you never say a word about. So the term is meaningless.

just because you say the term is rendered meaningless does not make it so and does not change the fact that Bachmann has said many many things that are just utterly stupid and false
Nothing changes the facts about what she has said

Yeah, kinda like Vitter's actions were sole and seperate from Weiner's actions. Didn't stop you from trying to equate them.
Guess you must be that fucking dumb too.

no comparison
one persons stupid comments does not negate another persons stupid comments
Regarding Vitter - he actually broke the law (unlike Weiner) and also cheated on his wife (unlike Weiner) and the reason it's relevent is because he was trying to portray himself as some sort of moral authority on family values (unlke Weiner).
What I dont' understand is why Bachman doesn't just issue a correction when she says something stupid and just move on. She makes it a story by doubling down when most smart peopel would just admit the mistake and be done with it

Uh no. First you tried to claim a link to Weiner because Vitter did something bad and then claimed something to effect of people who didn't call out Vitter shouldn't be calling out Weiner. Don't you see calling out Barry on his stupid comments.
Nevertheless, Vitter and Weiner are sole and seperate - regardless of the number of times you want to bash Vitter. I don't even like Vitter and can't see that retarded link.
Agreed on Bachman. Always own up and move on.

Anoter great Bachmann song

Vieter and Weiner have nothing to do with Bachmann and my point very simple
Stupid comments by one person does not negate stupid comments by some other person
surely you can agree on that

Its in the bachmann thread.
I dont' recall her retracting even one of her stupid and false statements
all I remember is her digging in deeper each time she's questioned about them

Sounds familiar no? Remember Straw - the incompetent, illiterate, incompetent, ignorant piece of trash you support to assuage your guilty white conscience and his daily comedic statements on almost every issue that he too seemingly has no problem with?

Yes we agree, and the actions of one shitbag congressman had nothing to do with another shitbag congressman.
And my point is your epic hypocrisy in calling somebody fucking stupid when you did the same fucking thing. Not that hard to understand.
Actually, for a far left lib, it probably is too much to understand. It's only fucking stupid when someone else does it. My bad.

I don't agree
In Weiners case (and I said this from the beginning) he lied about this and went on a media blitz of lying. When he finally told the truth he became a media distraction and the party leadership (who didn't much like him to begin with) forced him out. Weiner case was also unique because each day there was a new picture hitting the media and the story just wouldn't go away
Vitter and Craig both broke the law and they should have resigned as well but their party didn't force them out and in Vitters case he was re-elected. For all we know Weiner may be elected to public office again too
Ensign didn't resign until the moment the Senate Ethics committee concluded he had broken federal laws and he was facing explusion

None of this has anything to do with Bachman, Obama or anythign else
333 thinks everything that Obama says or does is crazy and with that personal consclusion has decided that therefore anything else that anyone says that is also crazy is irrelevent because, in his opinion, if we don't all agree that Obama is crazy that no one else is crazy either
That conclusion is fucking stupid
-
No, I am accusing you of selective snobbery. I agree MB's statements are stupid. However, you refuse to go against your far left guilt ridden conscience and say the same thing of the messah even when its proven to you.
The same way I said vitter should resign, you should have at least an ounce of honesty an admit when equally stupid bullshit comes frm the fat lips of your faux messiah.

1. Obama is not my messiah
2. Obama has gaffe's like anyone else and to the best of my knowledge issues corrections
3. Bachmann has gaffes and refuses to simply admit she mispoke and intead often digs in deeper which just makes her gaffe into story which is STUPID and unecessary
pretty simple when you stop trying to conflate unrelated issues

Now you're trying to claim the cases are unique when you were the one trying to claim they were related, hahaha.
Talk about desperately trying to conflate the issue.
You attempted to make an irrelevant comparison and now your hypocritically crying about someone else pointing out Obama's gaffes.
Not to mention that you tried to argue people who don't call out one, shouldn't call out the other. Where's all your criticisms from when Obama gaffes?

When did I bring Vitter/Weiner up in this thread or say any related to Vitter/Weiner had any relevence to stupid statements by Bachman?
