Rage Against The Machine Give Bush A Bashing

More Rage Against The Machine

Rage Against The Machine have spoken for the first time about their reasons for reuniting for a one-off performance at this years Coachella Festival.

Besides admitting that the festival has been trying to get the band to appear "for as many years as they've had the festival," the group’s guitarist, Tom Morello told MTV that the reason they’ve reformed was “to deliver a knockout blow to the Bush administration."

Morello explained: “This administration has done enough damage that it may take generations to undo. This is an administration that believes it's beyond the laws of the land, which is fine for emperors, but not so great for presidents.”

The Californian festival takes place from the 27-29 April. The other headliners have been confirmed as Bjork, who opens the festival, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Saddam is dead after using WMDs on his own people, killing hundreds of thousands. The Democrats that you all and Rage are so in favor of VOTED FOR THE WAR. 40 million people went out in voted for their democracy. Yes their are American soldiers and Iraqis dying, but let’s not forget that THIS IS A WAR. To take political advice, much less any advice from a band who screams lyrics into a microphone is as ignorant as it gets.

What absolute morons these guys are. Pathetic liberal dumbasses. I’d love to see them be debated by the likes of Frank Miller, etc. But of course, liberals hate debate...it’s podiums only.

My goodness...ignorance is bliss. I had more respect for Rage when they stuck to playing good music. I’m not a Bush licker, but I seem to remember that the majority of his political opponents VOTED for the war in Iraq. I know, I know, bad intelligence. That argument is useless now. The fact is Morello seems to forget that the Bush administration has to get congressional approval to start a war, and THEY DID. That means they didn’t break any laws of the land.
