NBC Allows Band To Play “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” As Bachman Walks On Stage

Michele Bachmann walked on the Jimmy Fallon show, while the band played the song “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” without the lyrics. The drummer was named as the scapegoat and no one has yet figured out how the band knew to play the song without knowing the title or who on the show approves the musical selections.

NBC maintains that the drummer, who bragged about the incident on his tweeter account, has since been grounded rather than fired. Like an adolescent, the drummer has been “grounded”? Does this mean the drummer received a tongue in cheek reprimand for committing gross disrespect for a presidential candidate.

The band took responsibility, with this anemic explanation:

“The performance was a tongue-in-cheek and spur-of-the-moment decision.”

So there you have an explanation that excuses the band of sexism and of disrespect, but let’s examine this a little closer, under a different microscope. If the drummer,

Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson

had been White, and the insult was directed at Michelle Obama, what would have been the reaction of the press and the public?

Would the drummer have been fired? If you say no, you are a “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” and you are perpetuating this double standard in the show business world, the MSM, and the propaganda business that seems to direct or control the first two.

In all fairness, Bachmann was oblivious to the dreadful insult implied with the song, until she learned of the band’s duplicity after the show, so while those who were familiar with the song and the lyrics were laughing their “asses” off, a presidential candidate was onstage and had no idea she was being humiliated.

No, if the incident would have been reversed and the other Michelle would have been humiliated in a racially charged situation, the drummer would not have been “severely reprimanded”; no let’s not kid ourselves, the band would have been fired and the show would be in jeopardy.

Fallon, being a class act in the shallow tradition of Hollywood, offered an apology on twitter, but Bachmann demanded an apology from NBC. Doug Vaughan, NBC’s senior vice-president, apologized in a letter, for the incident and stated that it was:

“not only unfortunate but also unacceptable”

Unfortunately, those responsible, still have their jobs, but NBC proudly proclaims:

“She accepted the apology,”

Therefore, they are resolved of guilt and all is forgotten.

Yes, Michele Bachmann is a nice woman and forgives in a Christian way, but the hatred and deceit that precipitated the event is still there beneath the surface; along with the attitude of the show’s writers, producers, and performers who have given their implied approval of such actions by not responding in an appropriate manner immediately. The public is left asking why Michele had to ask for an apology from NBC and why the band, if not the show is still on the air, instead of claiming an absolution of guilt because Michele accepted the apology she asked for.

Michele brought up the reference to Michelle Obama and the aftermath of such a vicious attack by a band:

“If that song had been played for Michelle Obama I have no doubt that NBC would’ve apologized to her and likely they could’ve fired the drummer or at least suspended him. None of that happened from NBC and this is clearly a form of the bias on the part of the Hollywood entertainment elite,”

The drummer bragged of the band’s planned attack on Bachmann’s character with this tweeter post, prior to the show:

“Aight late night walkon song devotees: you love it when we snark: this next one takes the cake. ask around cause i aint tweeting title.”

We are continually amazed at the mean-spiritness and general evil that seems to lurk in the party that pronounces its love for humanity; yet, actions speak much louder than words, and in this incident, the double standard, the hatred, and prejudice is screaming.
