This is fox's response to rage against the machines speach in a concert earlier. You can find it on youtube. Now what they say here, is they are making a joke of what rage against the machine said. Really Fox? Lets take a quote from ratm's speach...in fact lets put in the whole thing:
"A couple of months ago, those fascist motherf-----s at the Fox News Network
attempted to pin this band into a corner by suggesting that we said that the
president should be assassinated. Nah, what we said was that he should be
brought to trial as war criminal and hung and shot. THAT'S what we said. And we
don't back away from the position because the real assassinator is Bush and
Cheney and the whole administration for the lives they have destroyed here and
in Iraq. They're the ones. And what they refused to air which was far more
provocative in my mind and in the minds of my bandmates is this: this system has
become so brutal and vicious and cruel that it needs to start wars and profit
from the destruction around the world in order to survive as a world power.
THAT's what we said. And we refuse not to stand up, we refuse to back down from
that position not only for the poor kids who are being left out in the desert to
die, but for the Iraqi youth, the Iraqi people, their families and their
friends, and their youth who are standing up and resisting the US occupation
every day. And if we truly want to end this f---ing miserable war, we have to
stand up with the same force that the Iraqi youth are standing up with every
day, and bring these motherf-----s to their knees. Wake up...
Did they say something insulting about you guys (fox)? Are you sad?
Now just let me comment on what rage is responding to in the first place. Although a video ceases to exist and was taken off for terms of use violation (hmm smell something fishy?), the transcription is at this website. I cannot copy it here for fear i will be sued somehow :/
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,269842,00.htmlWhen i am ranting, i am infact topping off of what someother people have said but lets just break down what is in the above link:
First of all, these people are idiots. They are paided, and this conversation has been rehearsed. These are biased, rich and stupid people who think they know what they are talking about, but infact do not. Lets go to where they go on about talking about how they want to 'shoot' him. Ok, now they are only saying that there are no laws in place where the violence and need where laws starts. I am not all that familiar on the bush administration, but i have a pretty good idea. Bush's actions in iraq are just as bad as what anyone does over here. What is the difference; A person kills 10 people in a massacre and is sent to death; or a person kills tons of people indirectly. They are the same thing, just looked at differently. You went too far in your speach here. You turned something that was indirect and was only a message into a physical action. These people are peacekeepers, not killers. They only believe that people should get punished for their crimes. But of course, the government makes the laws, so you would never make a law against yourself, would you? Now, lets just pull a little quote if ai may:
They're losers. Their fans are losers and there's a lot of violence coming from
the left wing. - This is from the website and is in no way mine nor did i create it
Wow. That proves alot about you. You are in a political talk show and you give a clearly biased opinion. Is this a stereotype/hate you are placing on all fans of rage against the machine? That we are so called losers just because we voice an opinion? Its called freedom of speech, what you are attacking ratm for right now. You are using it, and so am i. You can go to hell for all i am concerned, and just for that, i hate fox too and im not going to watch it? Why should I when I am a so called loser in fox's opinion.
For Your information, Tom Morello is a harvard graduate. He has a degree in Political Science for god's sake! Do you? You are talking about politics when i highly doubt you know anything close to him. You write a friggin book and you think you are all smart all of a sudden? He didnt write any dam book and look how many more people enjoy his company than yours.
Rage against the machine apparently used to be popular according to you. Well they did and they never died out. It isnt the music or the band, it is the message they are portaying. This is the only way that they can voice their opinion without getting shut out by the government/media.
You seem to also hate the fact that he is a millionaire. Well lets see. Last time i checked, most bands that have a large fan base have alot of money. You cant really help it can you? You people are just as rich as them and you dont throw your money away and no one goes on national tv and tells you how bad you are.
And here you go bringing uneeded biased comments that dont even make sense in this type of show! You find that they are not very attractive as you say. Well good to know! Are you trying to make yourself look like an idiot on this network? Because your writers suck, im telling you that much. And why dont any of you actually voice an opinion? You all obviously dont think the same way deep inside, but you have been zombified into thinking the same way. All rage against the machine fans think differently, and that is what makes them the same. And for the hell of it, next time i see your faces ill throw more than a pie your way.
You know what would be nice? If bush actually commented on what they are saying; First of all it would provoke much hate and second of all it would be funny as hell.
Now i am not sure if this is I dont reallly care about what they say about the president, because who are they really?" You dont know who they are, so how can you say that? If you listened to their opinion and actually got what they are trying to say maybe you could have a real opinion/ And its not just bush in general. Its the government! Its you! That is why you poke fun at it because it exposes your lives.All of these tools should begin to get that no one cares what they think
It wasnt so obvious before but now its just horrible. Are you really that weak that you have to change peoples minds using the videos through cheesy political talk shows? Why dont you show people whats really happening instead of this bullshit that you are trying to pull. Its not working anymore. People are not stupid and are starting to see through the lies you are trying to portray. Oh and thanks for calling me a loser. I appreciate being shunned by a couple of dumbasses on national telivision.
