The Left Tries to Ban Jason Aldean’s “Try That In A Small Town”. By Tyler Durden.
The entertainment industry’s liberal elites are mad at country music star Jason Aldean.
CMT, or Country Music Television, is no longer airing the music video for Jason Aldean’s “Try That In A Small Town,” even as the song reaches No. 1 on iTunes charts.
The music video, which features Aldean singing in front of a government building with an American flag, incorporates footage from various protests — including those associated with Antifa and Black Lives Matter — was released Friday. CMT played it through Sunday before pulling it Monday.
The media reaction was, well, unhinged…
Their goto insult:
The Daily Beast published one of the most high-profile criticisms of the song its article, “Jason Aldean Catches Heat for Racist, Pro-Gun Lyrics: ‘a Modern Lynching Song.'”
Mr Aldean replies that
there is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it.
Top comment on the song’s YouTube video yesterday:
Interesting how countless rap songs encourage murder sprees, drug dealing, pimping, and countless other crimes, and they’re celebrated by the media, but a video by a country singer about self defense and neighbors looking out for each other is banned.
The lyrics that have the left so upset:
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it’s cool, well, act a fool if ya likeCuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you’re toughWell, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won’t take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don’t
Try that in a small townGot a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they’re gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luckTry that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won’t take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don’t
Try that in a small townFull of good ol’ boys, raised up right
If you’re looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small townTry that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won’t take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don’t
Try that in a small townTry that in a small town
Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town
The “backlash” [to the song] is from butthurt lefties who don’t want to be reminded that they’re a neurotic minority whose days of bullying the rest of the country are coming to an end.
