NIN Fans Demand Liz Cheney Apologize for Trent Reznor "Pathetic" Comment

twentyfourbit:

As previously reported, NIN’s Trent Reznor, Rage’s Tom Morello, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, the Roots, Rise Against, Billy Bragg, Jackson Browne, and other famous musicians have joined the National Campaign to Close Guantanamo and released a string of statements condemning the use of music for torture at Gitmo. Well, it looks like the debate is heating up a bit:

Debra Burlingame, director of Keep America Safe, a political organization co-founded by Liz Cheney that focuses “on issues like troop levels, missile defense, detainees, and interrogation,” called Reznor and company’s political stand “pathetic,” telling the Washington Times:

It’s almost laughable to think that heavy metal bands like Nine Inch Nails and Rage Against the Machine have a moral authority on national security issues.

They’re worried about torture of hard-core terrorists? This is really something I would expect to read in the Onion.

Fuck the Cheneys.  All o’ em… ‘cept for the lesbian daughter, I guess… though why is she not more vocal? I suppose it would be difficult growing up only to realize your father is vile and wicked in ways that have nothing to do with yer run-o-the-mill right-wing anti-gay banter.

Anyway…

Keep it up NIN and RATM (like they’re reading this).

Cheneys suck (like they’re reading this).

That’s all for now.

A devout muslim who WANTS to get out of the Army and is willing to repay his education to the military is not allowed to be discharged, goes crazy and shoots 40 people.  But my gay doctor who WANTS to STAY in the navy is discharged and was forced to pay back his education to the military.

Larry Ellison: I remember when Steve [Jobs] was my neighbor in Woodside, Calif., and he had no furniture. It struck me that there wasn’t furniture good enough for Steve in the world. He’d rather have nothing if he couldn’t have perfection.

And I jokingly said, “The difference between me and Steve is that I’m willing to live with the best the world can provide. With Steve that’s not always good enough.”
