NIN Fans Demand Liz Cheney Apologize for Trent Reznor "Pathetic" Comment
vruz: in case you somehow stiill liked Liz Cheney, not only she defends the indefensible, in the process making herself an accomplice of her father’s wrongdoings, she’s also certifiably uncool and persona non-grata: she knows shit about music. heavy metal, Liz, really? I get it, the only real authority is the one granted by God almighty to representatives of the Cheney and Bush clans. “call me Princess Liz.” fuck you idiot, accomplice of war criminals.
—via 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.
