God Damn America?

Not my sentiments, but apparently this position is endorsed by several of the Republican Presidential candidates, including Mike "Hunts-With-Angels" Huckabee, who can be seen in this video on TPM.

I can imagine the political calculus that convinced Guliani, Thompson, Romney, and McCain to skip this event. "Inflammatory rhetoric likely, could make us look bad, etc."

However, with the mainstream media so profoundly asleep at the wheel, what's the downside to joining in the choir's condemnation of America? I mean--I'm not even making this up--here you have 7 candidates for President of the United States, standing behind a choir as it sings what could easily be titled "God Damn America," and there's zero coverage of it in the mainstream media.

Fortunately, I'm kept fully apprised of the situation with OJ.
