Toby Keith Concert?!?

Allen September 23rd, 2004

Jen writes of a Soldier Attacked in the parking lot of a Toby Kieth concert. She quotes from a local NBC affiliate:

Foster Barton, 19, of Grove City, received a Purple Heart for his military service in Iraq. He almost lost his leg last month after a Humvee he was riding in ran over a landmine.

Barton said he was injured again Friday night in a crowded parking lot as he was leaving the Toby Keith concert at Germain Amphitheatre. The Solider was injured so badly that he can’t go back to Iraq as scheduled. “I don’t remember getting hit at all, really,” said Barton, a member of the 1st Calvary Division. “He hit me in the back of the head. I fell and hit the ground. I was knocked unconscious and he continued to punch and kick me on the ground.”

Barton and his family said he was beat up because he was wearing an Iraqi freedom T-shirt. “It’s not our fault,” Barton said. “I’m just doing a job.”

Wow. What a pair of cajones the attacker must have had. Blind-siding a soldier at a Toby Keith concert. As a reminder to those who are country-music impaired, here is a playlist of recent songs by Toby (an Okie, I might add with a point of pride):

  • American Soldier
  • The Taliban Song
  • Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)

    • Last time I checked, Toby did not have the following songs on his playlist:

  • Bash the Baby-Killers Upside the Head
  • Those Blood-Soaked Hands
  • Patchouli Promises
  • Singing Truth To Power
  • The Industrial Military Establishment Can Shove It Up…

    • I still am amazed at this. Some nutjob attacked a soldier at a Toby Keith concert! This is like waving around a fifth of Jack Daniels at a post-MADD meeting. This is like wearing a NAMBLA button at child abuse survivor’s meeting. This is like showing off your AK-47 at a Brady Bill Supporters meeting.

    I just hope the police find the scumbag before some of Toby’s fans do. Well….. No, I guess I do.
