Another "open-minded" pinko exposed. Ryan is scaring plenty of these crackpots.

[max americana]

I hope Ryan just plays Rage whenever he goes on rallies just to piss off Morello. This POS is one of RS’s favorite lib musicians who loved to rip on Bush at every issue. Morello’s only talking point is he was a ‘I used to volunteer for the republicans now I’ve seen the light blah blah’.

Tom Morello—commie born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I really hate that he’s such an awesome guitarist.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Tom Morello is worth over $60 million.

He is a privileged elite.

[Steely Tom]

I’ve never heard Rage Against The Machine.

Can anyone name a song they did?

[allendale]

Celebrity worship is a sign of neo pagan decadence. The opinion of a pop culture guitarist is simply not that insightful or important. The fact it makes national news reminds us just how vapid large segments of the population has become.

[RichInOC]

Nothing says “Fight The Man!” quite like drawing a paycheck from Sony for the last two decades.

[TheRhinelander]

As someone who has been in Iron Maiden tribute bands for years I can easily say that Tom is a talentless hack. My son agrees.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades.”

This guy doesn't get that the machine is a suffocating, oppressive; overreaching government bent on stamping out individual liberty?

Sounds like the dude is raging against freedom and freedom of thought.

He needs to change the band name to just “The Machine”

[montag813]

Truth is Ryan probably just plays RATM during his P90X workouts and doesn’t even listen to the lyrics.

[jz638]

Morello is a perpetual teenager, mad at his parents because they didn’t buy him a car when he turned sixteen. He isn’t so much a guitar player as a dj who uses a guitar as a turntable, for which he is decently talented, strictly as a guitarist, he is barely functional. For as long as he has been a figure in pop music, he’s always been an attention whore, and always been a hipster commie. RATM had several catchy tunes, but every last one of them is needlessly political and wrong in it’s message.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Who is this anyway? Another drug-addled “musician”?

[Qbert]

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?:

[RaisingCain]

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.

[RC one]

Tom Morello

you can tell a lot about a man by his enemies.

[SIDENET]

These guys from RATM have always been 100% capitalist, no matter what comes out of their stupid mouths.

Just more lefties who talk big game, but are totally full of bullshit.

[Robert DeLong]

Tom wouldn’t know a real machine, otherwise, he wouldn’t support Obama. Just another fool.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Tommy boy IS the Machine we rage against. Down with these Commie pigs !

[freedomfiter2]

So, Rage Against The Machine supports the machine?

[Dixie Yooper]

I quit buying music 20 years ago. I could have bought a nice car for all the money I spent on albums and cds before that. All down the tubes to the recording companies and professional musicians who both promote (then & now) a socialist uprising in America. Musicians, actors and athletes could make so much more money if they just kept their mouths shut when it comes to politics.

[ronnie raygun]

Commierock, they love the idea of free expression fighting for thier right to eliminate that right if it ever comes to pass. Idiots on parade
