Considering a Republican recently posted an Onion article via facebook, it Poe's law is pretty accurate. It's hard to tell someone legitimately out of it from someone taking the piss.Nickolai77 said:

Hi there. I come from Pittsburgh and we know alot about Rick Santorum. He's retarded. No really! Half of him is being a shifty and untrustworthy prick and the other is that he's a complete and utter moron.Esotera said:
It's the Escapist, a lot of people will just post to show their dislike for a certain political party that isn't theirs instead of actually looking at the source material.Gmans uncle said:
The whole "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."" made me laugh though.
I say we do all three at the same time. And then go buy some metal. I bought a Poison album today. Good stuff.Nickolai77 said:
Clearly this is fake, especially since some of the albums by those bands are old enough to run for president.
Metal Internment camps.. are you fucking kidding me?
The Bright Idea to "Cure" people of metal music, is to put people such as myself in a camp, surrounded by other people such as my self, People who generally don't take shit, and try and reform us?
Let me know how that works out...

I thought that this little issue went away back when what people know as heavy metal came to be. Bear in mind that was about 30 years, though I'm not quite sure. And they blame this musical genre on the whole of modern teenagers-air quotes- bloodlust? That is something I really wouldn't expect someone like him to say.What I feel is worse though is that more than 85% feel that this is a real issue.
If you play heavy metal forward, there is no satanic message. If you play heavy metal backwards, there is no satanic message. And if you play country music backwards you get your stuff back.

you could say the same about the far left, or any extremists who feel their vision of a perfect country must be uncompromising and absolute.Fat_Hippo said:
As for this Santorum joker, he DOES realize the 80's were about 30 years ago, right? Why do we let people so out of touch anywhere NEAR politics?
So obviously fake I feel like emailing the staffer who typed this up at the Daily Paul and giving them a punch to the face for posting something so criminally unfunny. An Internet punch. Through cable lines and optic fibers. Yes.
On the other hand, anything that deepens the perception that the right wing is made up of easily scared sanctimonious assholes is more than welcomed.
To be clear, I've got nothing against right-wingers - if their opinion is well researched. If it's just bullcrap engineered to make people vote for one name instead of another, I call bullshit.
On the very off chance that Santorum is even remotely serious or has unspoken opinions that go somewhat in that direction; I'd say he should be required to sit through repeated playlists of the current dominating bands in all of Metal's substratas, all the while making it clear to him that hardcore occult stuff like Gorgoroth is so niche there's no way they could have a lasting or serious impact on American society.
Yes, Varg Vikrenes burned down a church. So what; that's on par with the same sort of douchebaggery you see on YouTube that ends up with a drunken fratboy in traction. It's a sad, sad waste of human potential and it involves the destruction of what I'm sure is a spiritual center for many people; but it won't warp several million people across the pond and turn them into Pazuzu expies.
Now if we were living in Dethklok's universe, though...

When I read the OP at first I thought he was talking about the history of the anti heavy metal movement. Saying those bands are satanic blah blah are all the old arguments from the 70s, and the band list to.Nickolai77 said:
Whats next? Is a US senator going to do an interview saying he wants Elvis the pelvis banned?
60 or so posts into this thread and there are still people who think this actually happened. C'mon, folks. If this was any more obviously a joke it would have clown shoes and a spinning bow tie.
