TOM MORELLO DEFENDS RUSH LIMBAUGH

No, I’m totally kidding. Morello hates Limbaugh, obvs.

Right on the heels of Rush (the band, not the dude) claiming they’ll sue the conservative pundit if he doesn’t stop using their music on his program without the band’s permission, Tom Morello has decided to kinda-sorta do the same thing in retaliation of Limbaugh’s use of Rage Against the Machine’s “Sleep Now in the Fire.” Only instead of threatening legal action, he just sent out this angry message via Twitter:

As Metal Insider points out, the fact that Limbaugh was using a song by the notoriously far-left RATM at all seems kinda odd, especially when you consider that the music video for the track (above) was directed by Michael Moore, who’s like Limbaugh’s liberal doppelgänger. I’m inclined to believe this is further evidence that Limbaugh is an idiot or, maybe worse, a big phony who’s just being provocative for the sake of being provocative, and isn’t actually paying attention to any of the words flying out of his mouth. But it’s entirely possible a music supervisor or someone with a similar job just fucked up. No doubt, Limbaugh will now have that person roasted alive and prepared for supper, as is his custom.
