First New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was rebuffed by The Boss. Now another well-know liberal musician has spurned the advances of a right-wing politician-fan.
In a brutal Rolling Stone editorial, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello calls Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's recent vice presidential pick, the "embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades."

I had a college friend from The Gambia. I believe their entire army fought with the allies in WW2 — perhaps less than a dozen individuals — but the U.S. had an airstrip in the capital city?
If Tom Morello really cares about the “poor”, why doesn’t he donate most of his wealth to charity, or contribute extra amounts to the Treasury... instead of hoarding 60 MILLION dollars?:

Rage Against the Machine sucks either way. I can’t stand their music whenever I happen to hear it. Most of their lyrics are indeed of the pinko leftist kind anyway, so not sure how Paul Ryan can tolerate it. This response by that idiot band is obvious.
Exactly what you said.....these rich commies celebs/musicians are good at demanding that other people pay up....as for themselves — not so much.
I wouldn’t go so far to say a talentless hack, but I would like to hear how he sounds without all of the effects. That said, Mark Tremonti has more talent in one finger than Morello possesses in his entire body.
Tom Morello
you can tell a lot about a man by his enemies.
Wow, someone who’s never worked for a living bitches about a conservative politician, wow, rare like four leaf clover. Thanks ConservativeStatement.
I agree. he has a good guitar tone but overall medicocre guitar skills. He should have to get on stage next to Dave Mustaine so Dave can teach him how to play the guitar.
Just more lefties who talk big game, but are totally full of bullshit.
Tom wouldn’t know a real machine, otherwise, he wouldn’t support Obama. Just another fool.
“These guys from RATM have always been 100% capitalist, no matter what comes out of their stupid mouths.”
It’s popular and financially rewarding to be a Faux-commie - if it wasn’t you would never have heard of them. He has a communists paradise just around the corner - tell him to go live in CUBA. Of course he won’t as he has all this money and power where he is - thanks to capitalism.

Renegades of funk was not even original. It was sung by Africaan Bambaata with Soul Sonic Force back in 83-84. And it was alot better then. Some remake piece off garbage that RAGE sings can’t hold a candle to the original song. My hip hop lesson of the day Children. DJ White Lightning!
This little punk could not hold a candle to David Gilmore or and of the other great guitarist out there..
I thought I enjoyed Rage Againt The Machine for a while until I bought their first two albums over ten years ago, and quickly got bored to death. I’ve hated them and their music (as well as System of A Down) for quite a while now. I just bought he new Dying Fetus CD from iTunes last night on the walk home and am really enjoying it.
Prince is very underated, he plays the hell out of the guitar in the song Purple Rain. Short but a sweet rift... IMO
As a rock guitar slinger of over 40 years myself, I have to completely agree. "Overrated" just doesn't cover it.
Tommy boy IS the Machine we rage against. Down with these Commie pigs !
He is shooting for the OWS’er crowd thinking they are bigger set of fans but what he forgets is the OWS’ers don't have any cash and if they wanted some his tunes they would be the first ones pirating downloads or getting pirated Cd's with none of the royalties or proceeds going to him and his bands.
Tom Morllo is “The Dumb Ass Of The Day” when it comes to marketing business decisions.
Plus he is truly clueless when it comes to governing ideology because B.O. is now The Man who wants to really take away freedoms and redistribute Tom's and his band members as well as our-The-People's-Hard-Earned wealth at gun point and it is the commies who enslave their populations at gunpoint. There is a reason no communistic society has every worked it is because they have to kill the majority of their population to stay in power. The dude needs to grow up and his parents need to sue Harvard because they did not give him a decent education.
So, Rage Against The Machine supports the machine?
