The Grammy Award-winning band “Rage Against the Machine” reunited after a seven-year hiatus to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, this weekend.
The always contoversial group took the opportunity on the occasion of their much-anticipated reunion to make some pretty vile statements about the Bush administration (video available here).
Not surprisingly, fans of the band actually set fire to American flags during the performance.
The potentially offensive remarks have been strategically placed after the break for those lacking the stomach for them as reported by The Gauntlet. Enter at your own risk:
The Los Angeles nü-metal pioneers had said they shockingly got back together because the current political environment needs them — and there was clearly no doubt Sunday just how, well, enraged Rage are about what's going in the world, particularly in Iraq.
[…]
Although de la Rocha said virtually nothing between songs, one tirade in the middle of "Wake Up" said it all. "Our current administration needs to be tried, hung and shot," the singer boldly stated. "We need to treat them like the war criminals they are."
Dontcha just love today’s musicians? Think they'll likely get another Grammy for this performance?

They constantly "raged" against Clinton. I like the line about the current political environment "needing" them, we already have the Dixie Chicks and Green Day, we can manage just fine, thank you very much.

May 1, 2007 - 17:26 ET by sunandsteelUnfortunatly, yes. Rage's stance and de la Rocha's stance has always been Anti-American and Pro-Zapatista. Just looking inside one of their cd covers and you will see their beliefs as well as organizations they are involved with and ways to contact said organizations. Typical socialist "workers party", "free Mumia" type nonsense.

I watched the video of "Rage"
May 2, 2007 - 04:39 ET by SportPoliticsI watched the video of "Rage", and it wouldn't bother me one bit if Homeland Security picked them, and charged them with publicly threatening the life of US government officials, and incitement to violence against the US Government, and threw them in the slammer.
In fact I would appreciate it. I don't quite understand how they would accept myself or anyone else with a stage and a microphone and an audience of thousands publicly proclaiming they should be hung and shot.
I guess that's how it works for these people. They can do whatever they want, but noone else can do the same to them. ISN'T THAT exactly their stance....
But, but, you called us "unpatriotic" - and you've silenced us. Well, golly, since you incited for murder by hanging and shooting, I guess calling you "unpatriotic" isn't quite the same thing, even though you demand that must immediately stop.
That's why I'm FOR picking them up- and LOCKING them up, with charges. THEN, they could actually whine they had been "silenced" and it would make a sort of sense in a bizarro world.
The "public" talking point then of course would be, 'sure you can whine all you want, but calling for "hanging and execution by gunfire" is not going to be taken lightly, we're going to pretend you actually meant it. Did you actually mean it ? '
I'm sure the bioled down answer would be "That's how we feel".
Then, the next question would be, " Do you ever act upon your feelings?"
I don't quite understand, but maybe nowadays we're all allowed to call for the execution of whatever American we want at a public venue, including any or all government employees or elected or appointed.
I'm not certain where the line is crossed... I guess John Kerry gets a pass when he attended the meeting that called for the execution of US Congresspersons. That must be a popular theme amongst the purportedly disgruntled "peacenicks" - calling for the murdering of your political "enemies".

However, our government took a bad ruler, Saddam, and handed him over to a lynch mob. As wicked and evil as Saddam was, handing a leader of a country over to a lynch mob, to be tried and hung, was not the answer. I believe that this is why these fools are calling for this American administration to be "tried, hung and shot." A door was open, that should have remained closed. Debra...

Watch their video (link above) ... he actually puts "hung" first :p ... aah, too funny....

Try making sense
May 1, 2007 - 21:52 ET by Mr. BishopSaddam Hussein was not handed over to a lynch mob, so don't say he was. He was tried under the laws of the government in place, in a court of law. He was found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to be executed for his crimes. He was executed in accordance with the laws of the land, and as a result of the guilty verdict handed down for his crimes against humanity, by the government in place -- not a bunch of vigilantes out for their own self-gratification.

May 1, 2007 - 22:26 ET byRJ.... Whether a person is for or against the death penalty, is not the issue here. There has always been a long standing 'rule' of sorts, that one country is not to kill the leader of another country, unless it is to stop a said leader from killing others. Saddam was captured, we should have kept him here in tight lock-up.
Opening the door to killing a nation's leader, when it was not necessary, by way of handing him over to those who we knew would kill him, opened up a door of a very dark place.
Even as bad a ruler that he was, many people 'loved' him --in an odd sort of way. And they have now vowed to get even with the US.
And as you see, many people here in our own country sympathize with the enemy, which is only causing people here in our country, to call for the same fate to come to our President and his administration.
The day they hung Saddam (one of the most evil men in history), was the day that, in many people's eyes, Saddam became the victim. And people tend to want to avenge the deaths of 'victims.'
In a sense, he is seen by many as 'martyred.' And that is a distorted way for people to see him as.
This is why, if not necessary to save lives, it is not good to kill, or have killed, a leader of a nation
Mr. Bishop.... No matter how much I cannot stand the Clintons, who I believe had people killed in their cover-ups, I would NOT have wanted to see them killed. No matter how evil and vile a leader of a nation is, if a leader is killed, it is in a sense signifying the death to the nation.
Hi, bigtimer, I think they are warming up to me quite well. ehh? :o)
Free Stinker... Saddam was one of the worst and most evil vile people on this planet. So, why should he have ever been put in the position to be seen as a marty? I would have preferred him to have been in high security lock-up, here in the US, watching old reruns "The View," round the clock, than to have come out looking the victim to so many people.

Hussein dead, Hussein alive -- he is less trouble dead. If Hussein was alive, you can bet that his followers would have taken hostages, killed thousands, in an effort to set Hussein free. Hussein being a martyr, who gives a crap?

May 1, 2007 - 22:45 ET byActually, Mr. Bishop, with Saddam alive and in tight US lock-up, we would have had more leverage to keep his followers in line.
Once a hand is over, even if you win it, a new deal begins.
Debra...
No we wouldn't
May 1, 2007 - 22:51 ET by Mr. BishopYou apparently missed the timeframe in which he was in prison, locked up, and awaiting trial -- there was no leverage with Hussein being alive, there were still a lot of attacks. There is no evidence of leverage with Hussein, and you're just throwing something out there to see if it sticks.
You just don't seem to get the mentality of the terrorists over there. Most of those who are fighting against us are not Baath Party members. That thought is a misconception, that is just plain wrong... on all levels. The fighting done against us and Iraqis, is from foreign sources. Most of them don't care about Saddam Hussein -- however, those that do, would not care one way or the other what the US would threaten to do with Saddam alive. If they cared about Hussein, they would simply threaten to perform a terrorist act, unless we released Hussein. This is proven throughout history.
Hussein dead, is no problem at all. Anyone that would perform an act in his name, would do it anyhow, so it doesn't matter.
Again, however, it does not change the fact that what you addressed as a lynch mob, was in fact, wrong. Trying to change the subject, is not going to change that fact.

Let me ask you this, Mr. Bish
May 1, 2007 - 23:19 ET byLet me ask you this, Mr. Bishop:
Did you ever hear people calling for an American administration to be tried, hung and shot, before what happened to Saddam? (And I am meaning in such a huge demonstration, where people were also burning the flag.) And have you ever heard the news media in our country giving any validity, by way of coverage, to people calling for the current president to be tried for "Crimes against humanity?
This is my point, to what I am saying on this thread. I am saying that such opened a door. You have all good and vital points, but those points do not change the fact that an open can of worms, were behind that once closed door.
Debra...
Remember, Rosie was an example of what many fools in our nation believe. The chanting for death to the current administration and the burning of our flag, is comparative with the bringing down of Saddam and tumbling over of his statue in Iraq. (To many people in Iraq, Saddam was Iraq. That is what a dictatorship is about.) Remember, there are many "Americans" who hate America, every bit as much as those people hated Saddam. People right here in our country, hate America.

May 1, 2007 - 23:26 ET by Mr. BishopIt does not matter if anyone is calling for the death of any one person. I could call for the death of Scott Peterson loud and clear. It doesn't matter if the entire state of California screams out loud for his execution. He was found guilty in a court of law, and it is the courts that will enforce his execution, not a vigilante mob.
By virtue of the fact, it was the Iraqi courts that tried Hussein, it was the Iraqi courts that convicted Hussein, and it was the Iraqi government that executed Hussein -- your statement of him being handed to a lynch mob, is in error.

Mr. Bishop, we have a closet
May 2, 2007 - 00:13 ET byMr. Bishop, we have a closet Muslim, Obama, running for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency; yes, it matters what people are calling for --especially, when it effecting our young people.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ----Ronald Reagan, 40th president of US (1911 - 2004)Your head out of the clouds
May 2, 2007 - 13:50 ET by Mr. BishopNo, it does not. For the "n"th time -- what people say, are just words.
I don't care, to be honest, what you think on this matter because you are just plain wrong, and have been from the beginning. You called what happened to Hussein "handing him over to a lynch mob", to which you refuse to admit your error on. You attempt to rationalize you stupid mistake by further digging yourself into a hole. Now, you think that just because some Democrat running for president is a muslim, I need to care what he says he believes in? I don't think so...
The bottom line on, as I said previously, it does not matter who calls for what -- if the courts try someone, if the courts find them guilty, if the courts sentence them to death, and the government enforces that sentence -- there is no damned lynch mob. That is the reason you need to get your head out of the clouds. You can't seem to put the linear thought together, instead you'd rather change the subject, ignore your error, and continually dig deeper. Instead of responding back with more BS, either admit your error and let it drop, or just plain shut up. You've been wrong on this and other subjects you know nothing about, yet you think you are an authority on the subject. Let it go.

May 1, 2007 - 22:46 ET by RJDebra, please try to think a little more critically. I did not say or imply that my personal belief about the death penalty is THE issue. However, it is relevent for me to point it out to show that I have no knee-jerk response to what happened to Saddam. In fact, given your strong views on the execution of Saddam, your own position on the death penalty would also be relevant. What is it?
Your implication that the US killed Saddam in absentia is, again, wildly foolish, ignorant and illogical. We turned him over to the duly elected officials of a country we do not wish to rule. To do anything else would have been an illegal usurption of their authority.
Further, your claim that he has become martyred is unprovable. Even in the anti American media have you heard any cries of "remember Saddam?" Of course not. In fact, a case can be made that, were still alive, he would represent an ever-present blockage to Iraq's ability to grow away from his influence.
RJ... My point for this artic
May 1, 2007 - 23:09 ET byRJ... My point for this article, was that I believe this is why we are now hearing 'rock lyrics' that are calling for the killing of the Bush Administration. A door has been opened. We have to remember that there are people all over the world and right here in our own nation, who feel that Bush is ever bit as bad a person as Saddam was.
We know that Bush is not an evil person like Saddam, but what we know, does not change the minds of those who 'think' they know what Bush is.
People can be right or wrong, and in either incidence, be in full belief that they are right.
As for my feelings on the death penalty. I have always been against it, up until the recent brutal rapes and murders of a college couple. Now I see that there is a need for governments to set an example to others who may be thinking of doing such a thing.
Vengeance is the Lords, and Jesus said that 'He who is without sin, cast the first stone;" but after hearing about those two, I sure hope that is okay to set examples that will highly discourage others from doing such wicked evil crimes. Prevention is the difference, in my thoughts on these issues, not getting even. And note; the 5 people who did this violent crime, were not world leaders and will not set off WWIII or get our current leader killed --if they (the 5 murderers) are put to death. If you would like to read what happened, it is still on my News Letter page on my site. It is about 4 or 5 writings down on the page, you can't miss it because there are pictures of the victims and the people arrested: Click Here

May 2, 2007 - 00:02 ET by Mean Gene Dr. LoveThese flag burners think they have balls and are making a bold statment, huh? If they are that upset at the government, why don't they take up arms against it and start a revolution? What's that?--They really don't have the balls? That's a shame. If Zach (and his followers) really feel that way and he is the revolutionary he thinks he is, then why doesn't he go attempt to try, hang, and shoot the current administration? Because even he really doesn't believe it...he's in it for the money...talk like that sells records and concert tickets which ultimately line his pockets with money.
It's easy to burn the flag, and it's en vogue for those people that don't even realize what hardline socialists like Zach De La Rocha want the government to be like. It's also pretty risk-free to burn Old Glory (unless someone that has actually fought for it is around). These are the same kids that wear Che Guevara t-shirts because the think they look cool. These kids went out and bought flags just to set them aflame...that shows the level of intelligence of these people (I went flag shopping tonight...a cheap one 3'X5' was $10. Why don't they just burn their money and save themselves the trouble...with the added bonus of setting fire to all the other national symbols and the dead white guys on our currency.
Sheep.
