bleeding heart Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 This is pretty awesome, actually. The Obama critics have now all been outgunned; this is the new Gold Standard. "Back in my country, my president," Mustaine begins and then pretends to gag himself with his finger, "is trying to pass a gun ban so he's staging all of these murders. The 'Fast and Furious' thing down at the border. And Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there. And now, the beautiful people at the Sikh temple." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/15/dave-mustaine-megadeth-si_n_1784525.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment?utm_hp_ref=entertainment&ir=Entertainment&utm_hp_ref=entertainment Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington.

Interestingly, I saw your typed word "Nugent" and my eye was instantly drawn to "teenage sex" in your signature...coincidental, but quite apt, if you know anything about Nugent's sexually....um...controversial past.

Well, no...we're talking about a man who believes that Obama is actually behind all the murders, a sort of American Reichstag fire if you will. That remains the clear winner. Bellafonte doesn't even come close; heck, even the birthers sound sane by comparison. Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington.

As to the linked story itself, incidentally...there was much better Jewish support for Reagan (though still a definite minority). Jewish people vote Democrat; American Jews tend to be liberal or further left than what is normally deemed "liberal." And have been for many, many decades. That's not going to change anytime soon.

Moonlight Graham Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 Mustaine can shred. But he's pretty much an idiot. A hardcore born-again Christian too. Will liberal metalheads burn his CD's etc. since he doesn't support the president? Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.
Canuckistani Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) While Belafonte didn't exactly say what you say he said, the GOP position on climate change is certainly rolling the dice on the sustainability of civilization. When asked if he would like to see Romney become the next president, Belafonte responded: "Only if I would like to see the end of civilization. No, absolutely not. Mitt Romney is not my cup of tea at all." Yep, that's equivalent to what Mustaine said. Edited August 17, 2012 by Canuckistani Quote
BubberMiley Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Yep, that's equivalent to what Mustaine said. Plus the only reason he was adked that question is because he had just given a blistering criticism of Obama. Normally that would be what Shady would be quoting, but he feels uncomfortable quoting anything in context.

Normally that would be what Shady would be quoting, but he feels uncomfortable quoting anything in context. It was a ridiculous response on Shady's part. When talking politics, people engage in all sorts of hyperbolic rhetoric, and the old crooner was having at it in the normal tradition. But claiming conspiracy theories about the President being behind the recent spate of murders--for political gain, so that he can outlaw guns--is a completely different level.

Dave is an awsome musician, but hes also a hard-core conspiracy theorist going back years not to mention a heroin addict. I guess Im wondering why his opinion on politics even warrants discussion.

Shady Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 I guess Im wondering why his opinion on politics even warrants discussion. We seem to have this obsession with everything actors, actresses and musicians have to say about any topic. I tend to agree. His opinion regarding politics matter as much to me as Harry Bellafonte's, or Cher's or Sean Penn's. They've all said some pretty ridiculous things. When I go see a Sean Penn movie, I go to see him as a great actor, not as a well-reasoned political commentator. I'm also trying to figure out why a metal band's lead singer's view are at all worthy of dicussion. He's obviously not operating with a full deck, so-to-speak. Quote

kimmy Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) What do you mean I don't support the system; I go to court when I have to. I love that song. I used to like Megadeth. It's not that I stopped liking them, it's just I kind of lost track of them. I remember reading an interview where he talked about living in a house with a big fence and a big gate and keeping a shotgun in his bedroom and how worried he was about the safety of his wife and kids when he went out on tour, and said something along the lines of "I'm just glad I have a dog that looks like an alligator with fur" to protect them when he's away. He's apparently now a born-again Christian, an Alex Jones supporter, and avid conspiracy nut. Ted Nugent is the funnier one, though. He's known for devil rock music, drugs, booze, having sex with teenagers, and having more kids out of wedlock than a whole NBA team. But he loves guns and hates Obama so he's a hero of the "family values" set. Okay, there's someone with no talent. -k Edited August 19, 2012 by kimmy Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
