As of Monday, Lady Gaga, who has used social media and the Internet to parlay her fame to astronomical altitudes, became the most followed person on Twitter, surpassing Britney Spears' previous record.It's kind of humorous how this article describes Lady Gaga as a sort of cult leader who has political clout. It's pretty common knowledge by now that Lady Gaga is heavily involved in gay rights issues as well as HIV awareness. Celebrities are involved in all sorts of things, with varying degrees of success. However, the fact that Lady Gaga of all people has more credibility than Sarah Palin... I can't decide if that's awesome or terrifying.

You assume the law is wrong because....it is opposite your political view. The court system will sort out whether or not it is wrong. Lady Gaga can have her OPINION, like you, like me. I don't think I would leave it up to her to 'lecture' my children. Frankly, I'm pretty tired of commentators, actors, singers, many of them who make millions of dollars every year, advising us about the 'evil' rich. Michael Moore, Lady Gaga, could follow Sean Penn. I don't always agree with the guy's politics, but he stepped up and put his life in front of his mouth. I don't know why having the ability to twixt or tweet suddenly makes someone knowledgeable about anything other than singing, looking goofy, and making a lot of money. On those things, she's probably an expert.

Oh I guess it's a normal thing these days. What a wonderful role model for kids. I can't wait to see the next generation of little monsters!

She always spoke out for the little guy and spread her message of empowerment and equality to the masses through her music. Her legacy is unrivaled by ANY female singer. GaGa wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Madonna and she's just recycling The Pop Queens old ideas.

Sure, her videos are both sexual and religious in nature and often depict murder and prison, but so does reality TV." Ah.....what wise, wholesome, uplifting advice. I'm glad I didn't take it while raising my five children....who all grew up to be very happy, responsible, giving, balanced adults married to same who love "God and country".

What in the world ever happened to intelligent people? Have they all been banned from politics and/or even making intellgent conversation about politics? No wonder we are in such a mess in this country.

Just like Palin says, let's RELOAD...and take this country back from the radical Palinites and fringe tea party republicans who are TRYING (rather unsuccessfully) to HIJACK this country!! GAGA can run against Palin, and we ALL know who will win that one, hands down. Palin is toast already but up against a REAL Monster, Palin is just another fish that has spawned one too many times.

August 26 2010 at 5:47 PM Report abuse Permalink +6 rate up rate down ReplyOk You came up with the same conclusion as I did. I am still trying to find the purpose of this story and what does it have to do with Politics daily? It does not even who or what she really supports other then her personal attitude toward certain issues in this country.

For every article covering Mrs. Palin's latest tweet, for every Palin endorsement, let's hear Gaga's opinion to keep it balanced.
