Rick Santorum declares war on Heavy Metal

[poundingmetal74]

Santorum has been using his campaign to take aim at an issue he feels to be the single most dangerous force in America today: Satanism in heavy metal.

In a recent Gallup Poll, 87 percent of Republican voters think that the biggest problem in America today is “the demented bloodlust of teenagers caused entirely by heavy metal music.”

In response to Santorum’s metal onslaught, Mitt Romney officially denounced his earlier position of “tolerance towards all fans of extreme music”. This, in spite of the fact that GWAR played his inauguration as governor of Massachusetts back in 2003.

"He stepped up his rhetoric in a speech on Wednesday when he implied that heavy metal is the cause of many forms of mental illness as well as lactose intolerance."

87% of republicans are brainwashed assholes.

After seeing the numerous posts about this on facebook, it further reinforces that people on the internet do not read more than 2 paragraphs

If it's on the internet, it must be true.

87% of republicans are brainwashed assholes.

The other 13 % want Nixon back.

Im not really going to delve into this but imho it goes both ways when it comes to Left or Right look at Rosanne Barr, Joyless behard and many other liberals that just as batshit crazy as the ones on the right.

Am I the only one who can see that this article is obviously a joke? Can't believe people are taking it seriously!

You mean GWAR didn't actually play his inauguration?

At any rate, Dave Mustaine endorsed him so he must not be too anti-metal

One more reason not to pay attention to Megadeth anymore

No, it's one more reason to continue not taking Dave's politics seriously. They're last 4 albums were all very good, and I just saw them live, and they kicked serious ass.

It seems were listened to different bands by the same name...:Smug:

And I don't believe politics should belong in music. Being the dirtiest crap society came with, it pollutes everything it touches.

Just forget the dumb shit and vote for Ron Paul. I very RARELY talk politics (especially on a metal forum where I feel it doesn't belong) but if ANY politician running for the American presidency deserves to be mentioned in a positive light, it is Dr. Paul simply because he believes in small government and staying out of people's (and other countries) flipping business.

Obama turned out to be just a gimmick to place another puppet in the WH, who could've been a better candidate after white trash Bush Jr other than an African American, right?
But what I read from mr. Paul is no-nonsense straightforward stuff, so much more important than usual empty phrases politicians throw at masses - if I was American I'd vote for him as well.
