The backlash begins?

The conservative American Family Association is protesting the scheduled appearance of Kid Rock at a Bush inauguration concert.

According to Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association, the White House has sent a shocking statement to the millions of families who supported [Bush’s] re-election.

“Kid Rock is an inexcusable choice,” Wildmon said. “His music lyrics serve to teach our young men to disrespect women in a most vile, self serving manner. There’s no compassionate conservatism in that philosophy.”
