Wingnuts and Neil Young

Over at the right-wing blog Powerline, Scott informs his readers that he's agreed to post some clips from Neil Young's new album, "Living With War" - which comes with a little paycheque and some conditions:

The publicist requested only that "you be respectful and make sure you don’t lead your audience to think one way or another...Also, please not a headline like 'check out this liberal piece of crap.'"

Other than noting that he has a little problem with Young's track, "Let's Impeach the President", Scott complies.

But, he also includes this opinion from one of his readers in his column:

TW writes: "Saying that Bush lied is on the same moral and intellectual plane as Holocaust denial. When I hear someone insist that Bush lied, that person becomes a David Duke to me. The list of entertainers I can watch, read, or listen to grows shorter every month."

Let's see...some 6 million people died during the Holocaust for which there is tremendous historical evidence. Anyone who denies that has got to be an absolute fool. Believing that Bush never lied and then stating that those who do are the equivalent of holocaust deniers? That person becomes flipping insane to me.

I wonder what Neil Young's publicist would have to say about that...

(By the way, you don't have to visit Powerline to listen to the clips. Just click on Neil Young's name above and you can visit his site. Neil also has a blog about the album.)
