Liberal Calls For Katy Perry Boycott Over Latest Video

Can we finally put to rest that liberals support the military? Remember all the talking points about “we support the military, not the mission”? Yeah, not so much

(Fox News[1]) Katy Perry transforms herself into a U.S. Marine in her latest power-pop single, “Part of Me,” which addresses female empowerment and pays particular tribute to service women.

However, at least one media type doesn’t support Perry’s Marines shout-out.

Prominent feminist Naomi Wolf, author of “The Beauty Myth” and one of many who were arrested amid the Occupy Wall Street protests last year, is urging Americans to boycott the singer, labeling her video “a total piece of propaganda for the Marines.”

“I really want to find out if she was paid by them for making it,” Wolf wrote on her Facebook page. “It is truly shameful… I would suggest a boycott of this singer whom I really liked – if you are as offended as this glorification of violence as I am.”

Remember, the Left went ballistic after Perry tweeted[2] to #prayforIsrael, which she then backed down on.

I’m not a big fan of Perry: I think it is a shame that she sexualizes her video’s and lycrics, when she actually has a lot of talent. Her “Last Friday Night” video is a disgrace, since it is about high school kids having “menage a troi’s”. She’s already stated she wants to be a “teenage wet dream[3].” She lounges around stark naked in her California Girls video. Maybe I’m just getting older. But, come on, liberals, are you actually going to follow this idiocy by Naomi Wolfe?
