Default Megadeth's Mustane accuses Obama of staging Aurora, Sikh killimgs while in Singapore

Now, when the Dixie Chicks went to London and said that Bush sucked, we had an infinite amount of outrage from country listeners and country radio, which decided to shut them out of the market.

Meanwhile, the press seems to be laying off this story... I had to find it on Billboard, and so far, nary a peep from anyone as Megadeth's vox and soap box accuses our president of murder while touring Singapore.

The standards have definitely changed.

 
"Back in my country, my president is trying to pass a gun ban," Mustaine said at a concert in Singapore last week. "So he's staging all of these murders, like the Fast and Furious thing down at the border and Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there. And now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple."

Well, the right aren't going to denounce Mustaine for criticizing Obama, and the left doesn't care because the criticism is obviously conspiracy-nut stuff that few will take seriously.

You're comparing a young, hot and at the top of the charts act, the Chicks at the time... To worn out old boozer death metalheads nobody listens to or cares about anymore?

That's your reason the media hasn't trumpeted this for you, they're like, "who the fuck is megadeth?"

Heavy metal fans aren't smart enough to get to the ballot box so who cares?

Unlike with the Doxie Chicks, where they had to megaphone the artist wisdom on the front pages for weeks. Why is that, I wonder?

There were several things about this post that I really enjoyed.

1) The Freudian slip. The title of the tread is "Megadeth's Mustane accuses Obama of staging Aurora, Sikh killimgs while in Singapore" but the first thing he actually accused Obama of staging is Fast and Furious. No objections there? Is it possible that even the left feels ridiculous in suggesting that Obama had nothing to do with that?

2) The aforementioned premise of comparing a group of hot chicks with current #1 albums to a washed up has been heavy metal band.

3) The fact that it is just factually incorrect. You can't live under a rock, and then complain that news isn't penetrating your rock. Put an antenna outside your cave or something, and then you will be able to see the story at
, ABC, CBS, TMZ, Entertainment Weekly, NY Daily News, or the LA Times.

Now as for this...

Judging from the current leaders in Washington, I would be a bit hesitant to use the standard of finding a ballot box as a measure of intelligence. Perhaps is some of you Country fans stayed home on election day making out with your cousin like you do every other day of the year, we might see some improvements in our policies.

You know what date is on this coin? 1958. It's been traveling 22 years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails, and you have to say. Call it.

Certainly see more Democrats elected, judging from the past few elections.

Apparently, this is a real conspiracy theory thing that is going around the web. People will believe anything. So the plot thickens with this one.

 
Click the image to open in full size.

Jenny Gallagher, a nurse who treated victims of the highly suspicious “Batman” shooting in Aurora, Colorado last month, is dead at age 46. The reported cause of death: drowning.

“She worked the morning after the Batman massacre in a very busy unit of the hospital — so she saw everything really, some really bad injuries,” her husband Greg reportedly told Ireland’s Herald earlier today.

The mass-shooting, which left 12 dead and 58 more injured at a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises at Century theater, is widely suspected to have been a black operation (akin to Columbine or the Sikh Temple shooting) based on the available evidence, numerous inconsistencies and implausibilities in the “official story”, the timing, and the way the event has been framed (some would say exploited) by certain powerful interests in the media and political arena. See for example…

People will buy anything, won't they?
