A message from the children of Johnny Cash:
We were alerted to a video of a young man in Charlottesville, a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi, spewing hatred and bile. He was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the name of Johnny Cash, our father. We were sickened by the association.
Johnny Cash was a man whose heart beat with the rhythm of love and social justice. He received humanitarian awards from, among others, the Jewish National Fund, B’nai Brith, and the United Nations. He championed the rights of Native Americans, protested the war in Vietnam, was a voice for the poor, the struggling and the disenfranchised, and an advocate for the rights of prisoners. Along with our sister Rosanne, he was on the advisory board of an organization solely devoted to preventing gun violence among children. His pacifism and inclusive patriotism were two of his most defining characteristics. He would be horrified at even a casual use of his name or image for an idea or a cause founded in persecution and hatred. The white supremacists and neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville are poison in our society, and an insult to every American hero who wore a uniform to fight the Nazis in WWII. Several men in the extended Cash family were among those who served with honor.
Our dad told each of us, over and over throughout our lives, ‘Children, you can choose love or hate. I choose love.’
We do not judge race, color, sexual orientation or creed. We value the capacity for love and the impulse towards kindness. We respect diversity, and cherish our shared humanity. We recognize the suffering of other human beings, and remain committed to our natural instinct for compassion and service.
To any who claim supremacy over other human beings, to any who believe in racial or religious hierarchy: we are not you. Our father, as a person, icon, or symbol, is not you. We ask that the Cash name be kept far away from destructive and hateful ideology.
We Choose Love.

@edgarblythe,
I dont know why the Cashes felt compelled to rationalize the irrational. Neither did that company that makes those TIKI Torches.
Only DJ Trump seems to be touched in the head over what constitutes honest to god HATE
@farmerman,
The Cashes seem to want to avoid guilt by association, or something.
@edgarblythe,
Those guys who make the Tiki Lights had a similar reason.

And rightly so. Ever since popular music has taken on social commentary, it has become popular to wear the Tshirt of a performer or group who exemplifies your personal or political philosophy. The Cashes saw the guy's shirt, and understandably made clear what their father was all about.

Never watched South Park. After Howdy Doody, tv went downhill, in my opinion.
You're a brave man for replying to my post and confirming my thinking by being the sole respondent.

Johnny Cash was an heroic figure for millions of us, of all persuasions. I can see others who do not know what he stood for wearing the shirt. He would never have lent his name to bigotry and Nazi sympathies.

Your anecdotal example doesn't change one inch to the obvious point [etc]
You wrote that Germany's "Left media dont give [nazis] airtime." If I'd pointed to an article or two in response, that would have been "anecdotal examples". But I linked to the (rather extensive) archive of articles about nazis which Germany's best known leftist newspaper has published over time. That's not "anecdotal" evidence. You'll find a fairly extensive track record of reporting on nazis at center-left or liberal newspapers, or the public service broadcast media, too.
The rest of your sentence, which I clipped here, seems to consist of you moving the goalposts to some impressively broad, vague and subjective claim which is conveniently impossible to falsify. Okay.
@Cycloptichorn,
Hey! <waves> Yes, long time no see.
At some point I think I saw a poster using the same username as you on Daily Kos, and I said something -- not sure if that's you or it was just coincidence!
I'm not posting here much, but I look in sometimes.
Hope you're faring well in life!
When white supremacists can't march rightfully with a permit given by a city, to demonstrate their presence as part of our society's diversity, and a bunch of liberals go over that city to stop the march and cause violence, then, no doubt that liberals are a bunch of bigots.
I stand with president Trump who wisely said that the incidents in Charlottesville were caused but BOTH sides, and that one side had the PERMIT to have a parade.
From now on, be careful, every time you see a liberal, you see a bigot or a potential bigot.
