I never heard or even knew of TOS but to villify somebody, like Kate Smith, who died years ago, is unspeakable. She didn't even get a chance to explain why she, and others of the time IINM, sang the song. I doubt many of the SJW's who raised such a fuss even bothered to read the lyrics.What's next, a boycott of Stephen Foster's Civil War era songs featuring the dialect of his audience?

This is the kind of song that makes me think I could have gone deeper with my parody on SJW's. Especially those who want to knitpick on something that they were not even alive to see. Good thing I watch that series of videos "How Is This A Thing" by Dave Cullen. Jon you might be on to something about controversial songs way back then used in this manner.

Had no idea this song ever existed, until SJWs took a crap all over Kate Smith. Do these worms know anything about her -- that she was a morbidly overweight woman who was undoubtedly fat-shamed her entire life, but cast that aside to create a beautiful anthem for the country, and especially for the city of Philadelphia. And yet the Philadelphia Flyers mgt cowered before these foaming-at-the-mouth lunatics and removed a statute of her

It's about time someone told these leftist loons to go to hell. I'd never heard of the original song, either. Of course I had to look it up. Thank God youtube still allows some controversial material to remain on their site. I bet both Kate Smith and Paul Robeson's versions are getting more attention than at any time since 1931. That's the way it always goes with censorship. Why else would I ever have read "Catcher in the Rye" or "The Turner Diaries", both rather dismal examples of the literary art. I believe it was the practice of some record companies to have songs written or performed by Black artists covered by White singers in the belief those recordings would have a wider audience. It does appear a bit strange that Kate Smith would have recorded it, but the song is a tribute to hard working people who kept their composure and good humor despite their problems. A topic which is still common today in a lot of country music. So far, everyone who has commented on my lyrics has understood the intent, both mine and that of the original artists. This being a parody site, I'm glad to see that there are still people who grasp the concepts of irony and satire. Thanks.

@CML, now you know today's SJW's don't fat shame people. It fits too well for their narrative. Hate the singer, not their appearance. Wait, I think that created flawed logic. Can't separate the artist from her looks.

"It's about time someone told these leftist loons to go to hell"? You far-right fanatics have been doing that since the Goldwater campaign. YOU PEOPLE are why liberals were born.

Michael, I respect your opinion but disagree. It is true the tone is a bit harsh but think about the absolute lack of respect shown by liberals when certain conservative speakers simply want to express their opinions on, say, a campus setting. Ann Coulter, Ben Shapiro, and others were canceled simply because they're conservatives. The "powers that be" allowed the "heckler's veto" to override and overrule any genuine intellectual debate. I don't know of any conservative who would shut down a discussion with a liberal, but it's clear many liberals want nothing to do with conservatives. For some on the left, tolerance is only a one-way street. Proof? Digging up a decades-old song, maybe a parody, written and performed before World War 2, and using that to justify a boycott of Kate Smith.

The left posted a TV ad implying that Barry Goldwater would blow up the world in a nuclear holocaust. That election resulted in the presidency of Lyndon Johnson, who prolonged a no-win conflict in Vietnam that resulted in the deaths of two million Vietnamese soldiers and civilians and fifty thousand US soldiers. It's hard to show much respect for a cult that can't recognize the scientific fact that a fetus is a living human being, and that sex is determined by chromosomes and not by individual choice. We won't even get into the stubborn advocacy of a proven failure of an economic system. We tell them to go to hell, but they insist on taking us along for the ride. The Yankees and the Flyers should have just gone on playing the song. Let the weirdos and malcontents rant and rave like the temper tantrum throwing children they are. Security code PTM.

It's not too late to abort the liberals just because they're already born, you know.
