Thread Name: Toby Keith/Willie Nelson laud lynching??
Subject: RE: Toby Keith/Willie Nelson laud lynching??
Re-reading the song, it seems little more than an expression of frustration at the headlines and the TV news of murder, gangs, drugs, and robbery with violence.
How many of us wish that these crimes, and the people who perpetrate them, could be eliminated?

I see absolutely no overt racism. The call for a little frontier justice is sophomoric but we all applauded when John Wayne took out the baddies.
