Anti-BNP Singer Booed Off Munich Stage after Singing Das Deutschlandlied

[Witta]

Pete Doherty was dragged off stage at a festival in Germany this weekend, after singing the controversial first stanza of Das Deutschlandlied. The opening verse, beginning with the words "Deutschland über alles", is often considered a Nazi anthem.

He sang "'Deutschland, Deutschland über alles' four times," according to Rudi Kuffner, a festival spokesman. "Then the audience booed him so loudly that he had to start another song." Doherty reportedly played five more songs before he was asked to leave by an organiser. He threw his microphone at her, according to the Munich TZ newspaper, and stormed off.

From listening to the background noise of the crowd talking to one another, they were clearly showing no interest to what he is playing and he resorted to insulting them by singing an old nazi song.

... by singing an old nazi song.

Das Deutschlandlied is no old "Nazi song".

[Hauke Haien]

The idea that the Song of Germany / Song of the Germans (the former being defined by the latter) is an NS song has been popularised by our post-war education, but the underlying ideas are of course older than historical Nationalsocialism and more properly described as part of its roots rather than its product. Their rejection and the reasons given for it are symptomatic of the profound stupidity behind the broad acceptance of Western democratic values.

By the same token, it is popular among the English-speaking peoples to treat the song in its entirety as an NS song, to call it "Deutschland Uber[sic!] Alles", "Das Leid[sic!] der Deutschen" etc.

In conclusion, this incident is a meeting of retards and it would have been best if the crowd had simply started singing along, which is perfectly legal in Germany.

I too would feel offended if a foreign crack head massacred our national anthem just to take cheap shots at my country but I find the reactions by those Germans to be even more tragic. Their pavlovian response, in this day and age, truly is a sad sight to behold. Not that this is news in any way but still, it's tragic. Giving two cents about the leftists' demands for absolute adherence to their ideology of mindless and destructive self-hatred is something people would do better without.

What a pillock!

Is this supposed to be "entertainment"?

He sounds bloody awful to me and, whatever his motives, Das Deutschlandlied was a definite improvement on his previous number

[hodekin]

Truly a pathetic performance which plumbs the depths of taste and imagination and makes even mediocrity look appealing!

It makes you wonder why people would pay good money to see such a tragic example of blatant non talent!

He looks and sings like the lunatic drug addict he is.

Seriously, I don't understand hippie drug culture at all. It's just a bunch of disheveled people doing nothing with their lives and laughing at stupid stuff all the time while they criticise people who have it together as being "part of the system" or whatever.

What happened to our great & noble people

True, but who makes sure that this garbage hits the tv-screen of every teenager in the Western world? Human garbage like this is promoted for a reason.
