Related: About this forumHas-been Megadeth singer (& Santorum pal) tells audience: Obama staged Aurora, sikh temple shootings
Rightwingers have truly lost their minds:
Forget birtherism, how about mass-shootingism?
Dave Mustaine, the frontman of veteran heavy metal band Megadeth, who has previously expressed his beliefs that President Obama was not born in America, told the audience at his bands August 7 show in Singapore that the president staged all the recent mass shootings in order to get a gun ban passed:
Back in my country, my president, he paused and made a gag gesture with his mouth, is trying to pass a gun ban so hes staging all of these murders like the Fast and Furious thing down at the border and Aurora, Colorado, and all the people that were killed there. And now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple. God.
Unintelligible jeers are heard throughout, but one attendee clearly shouted: Hey, we love Obama!
I was talking to JD our promoter here tonight, what a great guy, he continued, I was saying, I dont know where Im gonna live if America keeps going the way its going because it looks like its turning into Nazi America. And he said, Move down here to Singapore.

Mustaine has attacked our commander in chief on foreign soil!
Expect conservatives to organize a Dixie Chicks boycott a week from never.

Maybe not. At least they were right.

What a tool. "Has-been" is right, and a bitter one at that.

(28 posts)7. Dave Mustaine sucks balls
His guitar playing is only so-so and his singing is horrible even by heavy metal standards.
He can stay in Singapore and never come back.
Douchebag.

(6,785 posts)8. Dave didn't lose anything.
He was batshit crazy to start with. At least a quarter of Megadeth's songs are conspiracy theories, and that's being generous.
He just went from nutty non-political conspiracy theorist to nutty right wing conspiracy theorist. It wasn't a big jump.
