Is anyone else out there seriously pissed about this broad taking liberty with the honor of singing the national anthem.

I don't know what gets me more, the fact that she did it or there are people who don't see what's so wrong about it. There was some guy with a PhD on Fox that was saying we shouldn't make this out to be such a big deal. That if she had sang America the Beautiful or another patriotic song this thing wouldn't be getting so much attention.

I'm sorry but if you agree to sing the National Anthem and you sing anything but the National Anthem you are being utterly and totaly disrespectful. GRRRRRRRR

    It's not the song she said she was going to sing and
    that is just not right.

    I would like to dare her to do that at a Major League Baseball game, (maybe in Philly) and let's see if she then can sing louder than the boos (while avoiding D-Cell batteries, those Philly folks can be a little crazy).

    I would call this a act of TERRORISM AND TREASON!!!!

    While I think she was wrong, sneaky, deceptive, a fraud, disrespectful, how was it "terrorism"?

    Terrorism is "the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion." There is no internationally agreed definition of terrorism. Most common definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants. Some definitions also include acts of unlawful violence and war.
    How did she accomplished terror by singing a different song than they expected her to sing?
    In my opinion, there is a difference between being offended and terrorized.

    Article 3 of the United States Constitution. Section 3.
    Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
    How was it an Act Of War to sing that "offensive" song instead of the song they were expecting?

    It's OK to be offended (it's also permitted to offend) but I think you're over-reacting just a touch.

    I'm just saying.

    I don't know what's worse, the fact that she didn't sing the "Star Spangled Banner" or the crowd giving her applause.

    I agree wholeheartedly. If she was requested to perform the national anthem then she was required to do just that. Since she performed the Black National Anthem maybe she go live in a black state. I'm sure she could find space somewhere in Africa.

    Let me think about this. Over a thousand people are dying in mud slides in China - half of our country is under water. Politicians are about to change the 13th amendment to the constitution. The middle class in America is being destroyed. None of that is as important as a black women singing the wrong words to what was once a bar room melody. I wonder what news organization is fanning these flames.
