Does anyone know of antiwar and/or prowar songs released straight to the internet other than the ones from the Beastis, REM and Zach de la Rocha?

Mick Jones and Tony James released "Why Do Men Fight" on Poptone's web site, http://poptones.co.uk/news.shtml.

Check out that thing Thurston Moore started, Protest-Records.com.

Fleetwood Mac's "Peacekeeper" entered the Billboard charts in the States at 93 this week, so says The Times.

the anti-war songs should be banned....

...and people should try and stick to the topic of the question. There are plenty of appropriate places to let people know how you feel about antiwar songs and all about your totalitariam leanings, but this isn't it.

If that idiot Bush has his way, wins the war, and gets another 4 years (unlike Daddy) I'm sure he'd push for them to be banned too. Because as we all know, Republicans in this day and age care so much about freedom of speech. Whatever happened to old-school Republicanism? The whole, y'know, isolationist, small-government, libertarianist philosophy that made them opponents of slavery back in the good old days? I miss that, man. The majority of Republicans these days are just very thinly glossed religious fundamentalists and fascists.

Remember: any time you react to JP Albin, you are reacting to the lowest level of troll. Just keep that in mind.

That said, you're right about "very thinly glossed religious fundamentalists and fascists." I can't believe that any right wingers are supporting this administration. They want bigger government, for Chrissakes! More controls! More restrictions! How can either a traditional or a modern conservative agree with that?! For the love of Pete, laissez faire economics would be better than the thought police we have in office!

Oh! Sorry. I used a phrase from the French language. Apox on me.

I swear I'm not exaggurating: every morning I read the news, and every morning I gat scared and a little sick to my stomach. Am I going to feel this way every morning for the rest of my life?

TURBONEGRO's "Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker" protests about saying "Motherfucker". You hippie.

Thurston Moore's site is pretty damn cool. I doubt that anyone on the conservative spectrum would do anything like this... if they did, what sort of musicians would we get? Johnny Ramone, Iggy Pop, Ted Nugent, Travis Morrison. Hmm. It'd be *interesting*, but nowhere near as good (objectively I say musically and subjectively I say politically) as what they have going on at protest-records.com. Good stuff.
