HJ,

Maybe it was hyperbole, but when there's a picture of a veteran, or somebody supporting veterans, and somebody posts "everything about this photo makes me sick," I don't see any problem with questioning that.  

Maybe that poster will provide an explanation.  

I assumed the "makes me ill" poster was referring to the photo with just the two guys, thumbs aloft. That was the photo immediately above the post in question.

But more to the point, to suggest that someone reacting negatively is trying to say something negative about veterans or supporting veterans is just deflecting, in my opinion.

The poster was/is OBVIOUSLY talking about the two public figures in question.

Mike doesn't get a pass on being criticized for taking a photo op because of the nature of the event he was attending. He could have crossed paths without talking, and certainly without posing for a photo op.

Why should Mike need a pass for posing with Trump?  

People talk about Trump like he's this anti christ.  Is it even possible for somebody to do worse than the current President?

Based on Mike's facebook comments, it was an unexpected meeting, but he had a rather glowing review of the speech and encounter. To be honest, I would happily take a photo with any former president regardless of party affiliation. Same goes for any of the presidential candidates formerly or currently running for president in this election cycle. A photo doesn't necessarily equal an endorsement.

Thumbs up seems like an endorsement to me

I am the 'makes me ill' poster ( Grin) and HeyJude is absolutely spot on in his analysis.

It was indeed a hyperbole concerning the picture with the two gentlemen hugging. Nothing to do with veterans, as I'm not even from the US and therefore it's not something I know much or even have an opinion about.

I thought you were posting about the picture of Mike, Trump, and the biker. 

My mistake.

Actually... according to my social media (a bunch of aging music nerds) this picture is pretty popular and to most people, it just plays into the common concept of Mike being a crappy dude.

Also, the "IT'S JUST TWO AMERICANS SUPPORTING THE TROOPS!" is either an amazing troll, or just someone REALLY UNAWARE of the world around them.

In pointing out that Mike doesn't get a pass, I was only referring to my perception that it was being implied that the nature of the event in question, or the types of people in the background, somehow would or could mitigate Mike choosing to pose for a picture with a divisive figure. The event in question could be the most altruistic and non-partisan event possible and the same objections to the photos would still stand, if one were inclined to object in any way to the photo.

I think the previous poster said that the picture plays into the perception of Mike rather than saying he's actually a "crappy person."

Again, this all goes back to making an objective observation versus tapping into one's own political (or any other) leaning or preference.

Whether you agree or disagree with anything or everything to do with those two guys in the photo, I would say objectively it's obviously going to be seen as inflammatory (or objectionable, or nauseating, or any number of negative reactions) by a lot of people.

If two guys I like pose for a photo, I can say that *I* think it's great or inconsequential for me while simultaneously being willing to admit if the photo would, objectively speaking, also obviously be seen by many as vomit-inducing.

Maybe Mike can play a show at a rally for Donald while the crowd destroys copies of Brian's "Mexican Girl". They can then do a thumbs up to an image of that.

The infamous hypothetical Mexico wall Mike's apparently ok with.... but endorsing The Wall, the actual album, that on the other hand was a "no".

Shaking my head.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Yeah, but it's quite a different ballgame now that this orange man is running for office, and Mike has now effectively endorsed his campaign (and he may as well have had the BB brand name endorse him since Mike's rocking the omnipresent BB logo cap).

Mike's got the right to do so, blatantly with a photo op no less, just as I have the right to feel sick to my stomach.

What's the big deal? Trump paid his $35.99 for the meet and greet, got his copy of SiP signed, received a complimentary "Excitations" tote bag and had the obligatory photo OP with Mike.

Must admit that I was shocked initially: Mike's a tall guy and I hadn't expected Trump to be taller. Then I realised he was stood on Bruce.

Mike wins either way: he gets to keep the $35.99 (less $0.99 the tote bag cost him) and he has a keepsake photo of himself with the Republican Party's much-loved Presidential candidate before he loses the election and fades into obscurity.

The bit I can't figure out is how Mike Love, an apparently sincere environmentalist since before it was trendy, could back a guy who dismisses global warming and supports environmentally disastrous drilling and pipeline projects.
