Lynchings? Vigilantes? The primary method of captial punishment in the United States and most of Europe for many, many years was hanging. Wasn't the last person executed in England in the 60s hung? If the song's mentions rope and villians, that's the logical conclusion.

If you want to complain about the song being pro captial punishment, that would make sense. Who ever thinks this is about lynching just has a vivid fantasy life or a hardon for Toby Keith (an ugly image). Two and two do not make five, Mr. Langsetmo. You have no credible evidence for your position; you try to prove your case with facts that are undoubtably true but for which you fail to estabish any connection to the issue. You've just made up your mind to arrive at the worst possible conclusion, that's all.

Next you'll be telling us an ABBA song was pro-slavery because they mentioned water and sailing which makes you think of Vikings and everyone knows they trafficed in slaves after their raids. And try not to think about the rape and pillage.
