I love it when conks try to be cool.

Paul Ryan has previously cited Rage Against the Machine as his favorite band, but the group's guitarist isn't returning the niceties. In a blistering op-ed published Thursday night on Rolling Stone's website, Tom Morello blasts Mitt Romney's new VP choice as "the embodiment of the machine our music rages against."

In painting Ryan as antithetical to progress, Morello compares the Congressman's appreciation of RATM to Charles Manson's love for The Beatles and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's liking for Bruce Springsteen.

Ryan likes RATM, RATM doesn't reciprocate. Artsy types tend to be libs. Not really news.

Morello is a great musician but an idealistic socialist. Music is about expression and freedom. I find it funny that Morello has a probably with someone that enjoys RATM.

Don't mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta "rage" in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he's not raging against is the privileged elite he's groveling in front of for campaign contributions.

True, and Ryan is an idealistic oligarchist. Whether you agree with Morello's politics or not, he seems like a pretty sharp dude.

Ibanez is a idealistic music critic. Rage's music savagely attacks all that people like Ryan stand for. I, and anyone else truly familiar with RATM, would have been shocked if they allowed the Romney cabal to use their music to promote their hate and intolerance. That the Romney idiots even thought they'd get away with it underscores the same lack of awareness exhibited by Ibanez.

Lib Rags. I prefer a bit more objectivity.

Wrong as usual, Jeffrey. Clearly, Paul isn't running on his budget plan and affinity for RATM. This is just a pointless, meaningless jab at a guy. Morello makes a bunch of stereotype comments and says his guy is the antithesis of RATM. It's petty, at best. This article would have a little more importance if Romney and Paul were using, Sleep Now in The Fire or Bulls on Parade when the entered and exited a speaking engagement. However, they aren't. Ryan enjoys the band and it's music and apparently he is to be criticized for it. That's weak. Once again, the message is distorted, sent to the gullible masses who now eat it up and spit out as if it's true. I'm not a fan of Romney, but this is just silly. As to your last comment, that's just ridiculous.

Perhaps this should be the GOP's theme song.

Fiscal conservative, social moderate as I have always been. Voted Dem, Repub, and Independent, not some straight ticket shmo.

He is. Have you ever heard him speak? Tom is very intelligent but he gets carried away.

I can't see the point of straight ticket voting. My mother in law votes straight democrat...even when she admits the republican candidate is better qualified. Jeresy girls.

I don't care about the letter by your name. I care about your record and your character.

In fact, i don't care about your religion.

Agreed, but is no more radical left than Ryan is radical right.

Thanks IBA. I'm trying to teach him that exact same thing on the Conks thread.

Who the hell likes Rage Against the Machine?

Wow

Is Ryan that radical? He's better than Bachmann.

I bet you like them before it was cool to like them, right?

Wow

Neither Ryan or The Mitt are far enough to the right.....that is the problem and its why they will be cleaned up this fall.

I like RATM but I am sure I would beat the fu*k out of anyone in that band in a political discussion they are idiots of the highest magnitude.
