Singer/Occupier goes on anti-gay tirade, DUmmies distance themselves
« on: March 19, 2013, 03:51:20 PM »
Quite the fall from grace in the eyes of the DUmmies.  Performed at an Earth Day concert, arrested during eviction of Occupy Los Angles, homophobe.

Michelle Shocked makes shocking statement.

   
Source: Dangerous Minds

Michelle Shocked committed career suicide last night at a club appearance in San Francisco. The “Texas troubadour” displayed some red state intolerance when she announced from the stage that “God hates fags.” Apparently the former skateboard punk wasn’t kidding.

Michelle Shocked, known for living up to her surname, cleared out San Francisco club Yoshi’s last night, and shut down the venue, after she went on an anti-gay tirade, which she summed up by saying, ”You can go on Twitter and say ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates fags.’”

And they did.

Yes, according to folks who were there – and Twitter – she really did say this – in San Francisco of all places!

Yowza. I had no idea Michelle Shocked was a homophobic RWNJ. I learn something new every day.

14. I remeber her from the late 80s

but I actually didn't know she was still an active performer. I thought she'd retired or gone into producing or something.

I came across this interesting article as well.

http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-the-presses/folk-legend-incites-mass-walkout-anti-gay-speech-195312874.html

I didn't know she went to a fundamentalist church. As I recall from the late 80s, her music struck me as fairly left-wing.

13. I saw her perform once at an Amy Goodman event in 2003

I thought she was left-leaning

weird

22. "thought she was left-leaning..."

Me, too.

She spent a lot of time and energy on the Occupy Wall Street Movement.
 

This seems at odds with where her politics usually are.

16. Not necessarily RW, but definitely NJ

She was big in Occupy LA apparently. And she's always been a big anarcho-socialist. But apparently since she found Jesus she's also turned into a big homophobe.
Some things I'm reading make it sound like she may be having mental health issues also. Either way, I'm, um, shocked, by this.
Kudos to the club owner for denouncing her, apologizing and offering refunds.
And then there was this:

Well, I had to read the links after seeing her picture to figure out whether she was a she, a he or an it. Maybe she's none of the above.

The real Michelle Shocked was, obviously, replaced by a BushCo clone. The real one is probably being held in a Dulce underground base.

I recall the name from the 80s but couldn't tell you a damn thing she ever sang.

I looked her up on wiki and she sounds like she is a total nutjob.

From what I can tell from youtube, she is a folk singer.  Not awful, some of her older stuff seems decent enough.
