Paul Ryan loves RATM, Tom Morello hates Paul Ryan

Mitt Romney's recent VP pick is a man named Paul Ryan.  I do not know much about this turkey, but if Romney endorses him, I do not want to know much about him.  Unfortunately though, I did not escape learning one fact about the man.  He claims that Rage Against The Machine is one of his favorite bands.  He isn't a fan of the lyrics of course, but the music he feels is totally awesome! 

After hearing this awful news, Tom Morello responded with a Rolling Stone article slamming Ryan.  You can read that here.

I find it funny when Republicans proclaim their love for certain artists while dismissing the message behind their music...sort of like when Ronald Reagan started using Springsteens "Born in the USA"(a song about a disillusioned vietnam vet), in his 1984 election campaign. 
I was thinking it would be funny if Republicans were only permitted to listen to Republican made music.  Imagine how awful that'd be for someone?  Here's an example: (try not to puke)
