Liberal Hall of Shame
The Top 1000 Liberals in America

Flea, the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers who played Michael J. Fox's co-worker "Needles" in the "Back to the Future" films, is calling for the impeachment of President Bush.

In an online message posted on the band's official website, the Australian-born musician, whose real name is Michael Balzary, holds little back in a rant packed with bad grammar and misspellings, including one where the president's name is rendered as "goerge."

"george w bush should definitely be impeached he is a liar and his lies have bought misery to millions of people and bought no good to anyone except for the corporate oil billionaires who are making huge profits they are profiting during wartime that is unscrupulous and terribly sad w bush has made the world a much less safe place before the war iraq was not a place for terrorists saddam hussein, brutal dictator that he was was secular and had nothing to do with al queda and was sanctioned to death and had no power outside of his country now it is a breeding ground for terrorism and anti-americanism is at an all time high all over the world and the people of iraq are no better off at all all those people want is for the americans to leave decent families and people like you and i who never wanted america there in the first place goerge w bush has sent american soldiers over there to be maimed and killed"

Flea claims he supports U.S. troops serving in the Gulf, alleging they have been betrayed by the commander in chief:

the administration's line that they were over there because they wanted to spread democracy and freedom is nothing else besides a lie if they had any interest at all in the well being of other human beings they would be doing what they could for people who desperately need and would love help in africa

He concludes by "praying to god" the president and his administration don't invade Iran:

it would be a bloodbath why dont they just leave the iranians alone and go through the united nations and work on making the united nations as strong and as just as possible an invasion of iran would be the worst possible thing that could happen

In what will surely be one of the largest ever, if not the largest, in-kind contributions to a presidential campaign if Al Gore decides to run, NBC Universal announced late last week that its networks will devote an incredible 75 hours of time on Saturday, July 7 to showing Gore's “Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis.”

The "Live Earth" concerts will take place in New York, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, Hamburg and Istanbul. Some of the hottest musical acts scheduled to perform include: Madonna, Bon Jovi, The Police, Sheryl Crow, Kelly Clarkson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West, Melissa Etheridge, John Mayer, Faith Hill, Shakira, Mana, Black Eyed Peas, Fall Out Boy, Enrique Iglesias, Duran Duran and many more. The 24 hours of music across all seven continents will deliver a call to action and the solutions needed to answer the call. Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by The Alliance for Climate Protection and its Chair, former Vice President Al Gore, to move individuals, corporations and governments to take action.
