Artists are entitled to have political opinions, of course.

But if you, as a voter or just a public-minded citizen, put any special stock in those opinions, you're a moron.  Being an artist grants no special insight into public policy questions.

So RATM's entire fanbase are morons? 

If the entire fanbase gives the band's political views credence simply because of their status as rock stars, yes.  If not, not necessarily.

Wait, wait, wait... weren't you the one that called them Rage Against the Suck?  Or am I thinking of Ed? :unsure:

You're thinking of Mittens of the Midwest.

Obama is done, no matter how much these fanatical radical communists rage against Paul Ryan.
How come the communists are "left"?
In every country they have EVER controlled they have put gays, intellectuals and artists behind bars, or worst, denieying even basic freedoms.

Obama has been leading in every poll for over a year now.

Not really.  He's leading in most polls, but it's a slim lead.

So Tom Morello thinks that a person who likes the sound of RATM but not the lyrics is a moron when he's the enemy that the lyrics speak of? I knew he was a retarded Communist but not that he was that stupid.

I think RATM has some nice songs musically, but their lyrics are infantile Communism.

But contrast how Dee Snider handles it, as compared to Tom Morello.
Tom Morello thinks he's John Lennon, only even better.  Tom Morello's obnoxiousness in the arena of politics makes Viking's stance on religion look almost pleasant by comparison.

Question on copyrights:
1- Can Dee Snyder do anything legally to stop Paul Ryan so long as the proper fees were paid?
2- Can Dee Snyder do anything legally to stop Paul Ryan if he uses a cover of "We're not gonna take it"?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Seriously.  Not to mention RATM never had vocals as good as ol' RoundSpecs.  When Morello gets going on about politics, even Rise Against seems less preachy.
Experience bij!

If Obama wins he's going to sell so much US hardware to the Chinese.  That'll show those damn communists!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
