Wow. Tom Morello: Fuck Yeah! |
|
I've never listened to Rage Against the Machine, but I knew a little bit about their activism (especially here in LA). Mr Morello is on Real Time and he's kicking ass. Really smart guy.
He said, like Obama I'm half Kenyan; like Obama, I grew up in Illinois; like Obama, I went to Harvard; and like Obama, I was on the cover of Rolling Stone. But this guy sounds a hell of a lot more like Elizabeth Warren than he does like Pres Obama.

4. Also - Until the 1960s lynching was a spectator sport |
|
Morello wasn't mincing words.
This was one of the best Real time shows since Maher had Cornell West & Mos Def as guests who just about took over the show and made it a great night.

Maybe I should take them off my list.

You know that every time a response is posted to this thread, it kicks it to the top, right? So stop it. Or don't. Or whatever, cuz I'm not reading it "Ignored"

No mincing words with him - he needs to be on more shows. Loved how Michael Moore and the senator were looking at him too.
