Not safisfied with simple theft of Jackson Browne and John Mellencamp songs, John McCain now steals his foreign policy speechs right off the pages of Wikipedia.
"Browne filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against both McCain and the Republican National Committee on Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles seeking a permanent injunction"
"After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Georgia had a brief period of independence as a Democratic Republic (1918-1921), which was terminated by the Red Army invasion of Georgia. Georgia became part of the Soviet Union in 1922 and regained its independence in 1991. Early post-Soviet years was marked by a civil unrest and economic crisis. (Wikipedia)"
"After a brief period of independence following the Russian revolution, the Red Army forced Georgia to join the Soviet Union in 1922. As the Soviet Union crumbled at the end of the Cold War, Georgia regained its independence in 1991, but its early years were marked by instability, corruption, and economic crises. (McCain)"
Will we ever be able to make some out there understand that Men like Browne and many other Musicians of the last 50 or so years are the true Prophets of this Generation? They are the ones who have been singing about true peace and freedom, while entertaining US at the same time. Along with digging into our souls by stiring up our emotions.

Apparently, the McCain campaign never researched Browne nor listened to his lyrics ; ) Now that they have to drop Browne's song, they can always use the new redneck country song out there 'Raising McCain' to stir up their base.

Remember when the Reagan campaign used Springsteen's refrain "Born in the USA" as a theme? Remember when Bruce pointed out that the dumb Reagan regime never knew the ACTUAL words to the song?
