Oh I am so happy he said this

"Last night was a victory for pot, for gay marriage and for math," the "Real Time" host added.


Math rock does deserve some credit as being part and parcel of the victory last night. i wonder if it was Perhaps that did it,,,LOL

Why don't politicians ever have good taste in music, is the question I want answered.

I've never seen a pundit as consistently wrong about everything as Dick Morris. How he continue to get paid is a mystery.
 
 
He became an angry republican after being fired by the democrats which is the type of thing that gives Roger Ailes a raging... (not sure what word would get past the ProgArchive censors LOL).  Ailes lets him have O'Reilly unfinished lunches and sleep under Hannity's desk.

Hannitized for your deception.

By the way, last call before Obama socializes medicine and takes away all your guns. Please report to the death panels now.

The government doesn't cartelize the private sector, it doesn't centrally plan the economy, it doesn't exalt the police state, it doesn't deny fundamental rights and liberties to individuals (the definition of "fundamental" in this context is up to debate) and it doesn't make the executive state the unlimited master of society.

Some of the things the government does are adjacent to some of the things in this list, but that doesn't make it fascist even in the slightest. Maybe you think that Obama is "secretly planning" a fascist state and is trying to deceive us into not noticing, but I find that claim to be far-fetched at best and completely nuts at worst.

What would be the most effective way to roll out fascism without the people noticing, in this day and age? Very slowly, and under liberal left cover?

It's just a thought. I actually don't think Obama is trying to do anything overtly sinister. The puppet masters on the other hand may have bigger plans.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Last I heard Obama really liked Stevie Wonder's 1970's output, but I suppose he has to.

Can you imagine if they asked Obama what his favorite band was and he answered something like "Cannibal Corpse and Napalm Death"? I would love to see that.

Here's a quote I found that leads one to believe Obama jammed to early Metallica in his halcyon days:

http://www.metalsucks.net/2012/04/04/president-barack-obama-i-know-dave-mustaine-didnt-write-any-of-those-metallica-riffs/

I bet Romney secretly listens to Finnish anti-christian blackened death metal.

Nothing can beat the sheer absurdity of Paul Ryan listening to Rage Against the Machine.

^I know.  I'd expect him to be more into Stevie Wonder's 80's output.  I can almost see him singing along to "I just called to say I love you".  Dead
 
I think some people are good at hearing only what they want to hear and interpret the lyrics to fit their own world view.  That's the only explanation for him liking RATM.  I just can't figure out otherwise how he could like a band with such a leftist attitude so much.

It'd be cool if he came out strongly in favor of Canterbury and Zeuhl.

Oh he's just "too happy and made an oopsie" liberals will say.

I am not very familiar with his work - but at least he apologized, right? That's more than can be said about Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity...shall I go on?

Obama's rapidly continuing the work toward a fascist state.  One that is largely already in place.  Here's the entire article, from which I quoted, which lays out the case that most modern politicians are fascists:
And this was written before NDAA, the National Defense Resources Preparedness executive order, and the kill list became public which all further exalt the police state, deny fundamental rights and liberties, and are major steps toward making the executive an unlimited master of society.

You've got it all wrong: Obama said he loves "drone death".

Maybe he doesn't care and just likes the music?  Why do you necessarily have to agree with a band politically?

I'm one of the biggest Henry Cow fans around, but I'm not a Communist.  Tongue

That's true. If you only listen to music you agree with politically, us poor conservatives would starve on a diet of Country-Rock and little else.
