Never let it be said that the ladies of BROADSIDED aren’t open-minded enough to hear both sides of every issue. This week, our guest will be perhaps one of the strongest and most honest voices in America today, Mr. Billy Bob Neck. Now, while we disagree with virtually every position he takes on political and social issues, we have to admit, this is a man who is devout in his beliefs and never wavers on his positions. Mr. Neck isn’t one of those “do as I say, not as I do” Christian Conservatives. NO! He’s a man who stands firm in his country, his faith and his beliefs – with nothing personal to gain from it. For that alone, he has our undying respect.
Make no mistake, Mr. Neck isn’t afraid to take on ANY of the issues of the day, either. He maintains a video blog for his faithful followers on YouTube and even gained national attention when he exposed MSNBC star Rachel “Mad Cow” Maddow for being a lesbian vampire. She graciously played the video on her program. Like us, she’s not afraid to share the views of people who don’t agree with her (which is why we admire her very much).
The profile from Billy Bob Neck’s Facebook profile page states the following:
About Billy
“Stop bein’ bad! Start bein’ good!
Billy Bob Neck has spent the better part of 25 years fighting to keep America American. Standing on the front lines of the battle for the heart and soul of America, Mr. Neck fires musical mortar shells of untold power. Whether he’s supporting the troops with songs like Killing Every Arab I Can See, wryly commenting on the blue states with Liberals (Let Em Burn) or providing a clear-eyed and heartbreaking critique of homosexuals with the haunting The Sodomites Lament, Mr. Neck never fails to bring a tap to your toe, a tear to your eye and a heart filled with American Pride.”
Mr. Neck also has an Internet radio show entitled: “Billy Bob Neck’s Hour of Bein’ Good” on Blog Talk Radio that airs every Sunday (the Lord’s Day!) at 4 pm Eastern/3 Central/1 Pacific. You can also visit him on the web at Billy Bob Neck’s Website of Bein’ Good. So, have a “Cup a’ Jesus” and join us!
Here are just a few of Billy Bob Neck’s YouTube videos:
**UPDATE: Â We are sad to announce the reported death of Mr. Neck on April 2nd, 2012. Â We received the announcement with the airing of the following video:
http://youtu.be/mpwqWuievMk
Of course his most ardent followers believe he is either the victim of murder or kidnaping as can be seen on the Facebook Page entitled: “The Neck Conspiracy“
Again, the hosts of BROADSIDED disagreed with Billy Bob on,well, everything, but we did respect the tenacity with which he held to his views, no matter how misguided or misinformed. Â We also know that Billy Bob left behind a wife and family. Â We offer our most sincere condolences. Â We would also encourage everyone to support Billy Bob’s family by purchasing his last CD, entitled “Songs to Stop People From Bein’ Gay“. Â (Just click on the title to open the link to his CD – it’s just $10 and will go to a worthy cause). While we found the lyrics amusing, Billy Bob was nothing if not a sincere man, and your purchase will help to support his grieving family.
Billy Bob… where ever you are… Rest in Peace.
So, buckle up! It’s time to get BROADSIDED!

Thank you Billy Bob Neck for being on the show today and providing us with comic relief discussing your crazy right wing bible verses and guitar playing. You are an amazingly ignorant guest. We hope to have you on again.
Thanks listeners for being with us to hear Billy Bob’s truth and our answer to his “thruthfullness”.

I’m drooling!
Yes, dear brother we do need compromise and coming together for the good of the country. However, I have not seen any hard right tea partiers willing to come to the table and compromise. They are only for their way or nothing. Both parties need to come to the table and negotiate. That is the key. I hope that everyone will put their hard line beliefs to the side and govern. Mr Boehner can’t get his far righties to the table. Until he does, there won’t be any compromise.
That said, bring it Mr. Neck (since he is the perfect example of a hard core rightie.)
Vicki, you say we need to compromise and come together and then clearly point your finger at the tea party as the sole reason that we can’t! This is exactly what I’m referring to. And Mr. Boehner and the House of Reps has made concessions since the Senate and Obama have threatened to throw out ANYTHING the house puts in front of them. More polarization. You have just made my point! You can’t claim that we need to compromise and then blame the other side as the reason we haven’t. Not to mention you just labeled many conservatives(me included) as a Billy Bob Neck. This type of stereotyping does not help bring us together. I’m not going to post here again. This is a comment section, not an open forum. You can have the last word, and I wish you luck on your show with Mr. Neck. I will have to catch it in the archives as work interferes. I love you but sometimes I just don’t understand ya!
It’s “Mr. Boehner” when referring to the Speaker of the House, but the PRESIDENT of the entire country deserves no title, nothing, it’s just “Obama”. So, Mr. Boehner is the voice of reason and it’s the President who won’t compromise? Sir, had you watched virtually any station besides Fox News, a different story would have played out. They’re not ALL lying, you know.
And please, show a modicum of respect. I know he’s still black, but he’s still the President. It’s President Obama.
Well I said I wouldn’t comment on here again but after Carol’s tirade, I feel I have no choice but address this.
There is only one part of your post I want to correct you on but since I’m here I will respond fully.
Carol, I referred to the speaker as Mr. Boehner because this is how Vicki referred to him. I never said he was the voice of reason, if you would re-read the post I was telling my sister that speaker Boehner and the republicans had made concessions after she said he couldn’t get them to the “table”.
As far as calling the president by his last name, that’s a pretty common thing. If you really want to pursue this with me, I urge you to look back at President Obama’s 2008 campaign speeches on youtube where then Mr. Obama referred to then President Bush as George Bush or just plain Bush. Better yet, I will make it easy for you. Here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyLmru6no4U you will see what I mean. You won’t have long to wait. Three seconds in Mr. Obama totally disrespects(your words) President Bush by calling him simply “Bush”. I trust you will be taking this up with President Obama post haste since it’s obviously a sore subject with you.
Now for the real reason I wanted to respond to you. You mentioned that President Obama is black in a way that this is the reason I referred to him simply as Obama. After reading, re-reading, and looking at it from every angle I can think of, I can only conclude that you are insinuating that I’m a racist. Lady, you don’t know me, nor do you know anything about me other than what you’ve read here. To stoop to this level is unwarranted and despicable. Don’t you dare, DARE, put a label on me! Whether you meant it or not, be advised, this is the way I’ve taken it. And trust me when I say this is one can of worms you DO NOT want to open.
Well, if my short comment constitutes a “tirade” after that little tantrum, then I guess it was a tirade. You can read into or assume anything you like from my comment, Mr. Childs, because while I wasn’t referring to you, you sure took it awfully hard. And as for what I “DARE” to say… well, you don’t know me very well because I dare pretty easily.
Russell, don’t you see just how TOLERANT we are just by having him on? We are not afraid to debate the arguments of the religious right or the ultra conservative. We stand on firm ground and don’t mind calling a bigot, racist, anti Semite, homophobic man all of those names to his face.
As for God, you and I worship the same one and our love of Jesus is the same too. We just happen to differ on most social issues. I do respect your opinion as I hope you do mine. I also still have hope that you will broaden your horizons and not be so narrow minded. Love you back!
Come now sis. I don’t see having Mr. Neck on as being tolerant but rather as a chance to pounce on and vilify him. I can almost visualize a small bit of drool in the corner of your mouth as you wait impatiently(remember, i know you) for Thursday!
Just try to understand that his views and your views or my views are polar opposites. That doesn’t make him right and you wrong or vice versa. It just makes us different. Until we as a people find some common ground among ourselves and break through this wall of partisanship
and polarization and move forward, this country will not survive. And that goes for the right, the left, and the middle.
OK, I’m off my soapbox now and hope I haven’t overstepped my boundaries here.
Love,
Your narrowminded(but right) brother. 😉
p.s. I will be listening-in for sure!
I think it’s sad that people actually believe in and donate to him, when they could be listening to someone educated. It is amazing that people can be so closed-minded.
Wow!…and I quote “stupid, backwoods, crazy, idiotic lunatic.” For a liberal, you aren’t being very TOLERANT of Mr. Neck. Do I smell hypocrisy in the air? I mean, the Right are preached at for making comments like this to a person or group of people. We are labeled INTOLERANT! Guess it’s true, only the Right can be guilty of this. Oh, by the way, I’m the brother of the co-host Vicki Childs. The one with common sense who is from the Religious Right and believes that Jesus Christ is the son of the one true God and he died on the cross so that I as a believer would have eternal life. Oh, hi sis, I love ya and still have hope for you! I’m going to listen to Billy Bob Neck’s videos now.
Well, he’s getting an hour to share his views and I think he’s a fine representative of Conservative views. #pwned
Ain’t no big thing, Russell. Jesus said we’d be hated and we is.
As you can see Carol and I will have our hands full with this stupid, backwoods, crazy, idiotic lunatic. We will need ALL of our usual supporters on the chat line along with any others you can drag to the table. He will have his sheeple listening to make sure they support him. Don’t let us down.
I’ll be there!
I got to listen in. I might lose my mind, but I will listen! 🙂
OMG. This is going to be crazy! I can’t believe he’s actually coming on.
😉
I called into his show yesterday to let his fans would know he would be on. He announced to the world that I was a lesbian. (Assuming he concluded that from my Facebook posts…?) Hope no one tells Von.
