ROCKER MANSON 'RIGHT,' AFTER ALL
Monday,October 2,2000
By BILL SANDERSON
He's a minister in the Church of Satan whose act was banned in Salt Lake City - but controversial gory Goth rocker Marilyn Manson leans Republican.
Interviewed in November's Talk magazine, Manson reveals that he can't stand President Clinton or Al Gore - and that he loathes the Dems' VP pick, Sen. Joe Lieberman, who partly blames Manson for the Columbine HS massacre.
"If I had to pick, I'd pick Bush, and not necessarily by default," Manson told Talk. "I know I don't support what the other team is about."
Now I have heard it all. After this I am shock-proof.

I saw that one, Unk. The caption read: "Marilyn Manson says he
can't vote for Gore because, "He's a little weird."

I think it's time for me to hit the sack. Third try here:

It's the shot-glass theory. I learned something new today, and the
gallon overflew the shotglass brain and all my HTML knowledge
overflowed.

Marilyn Mansons politics dont surprise me. Ive read that he is a
very self-controlled kind of a guy who reads a lot, not to be confused
with the persona he plays to make his living.
He likes to be provocative. Here is a quote from him.
SAT results should be directly linked to the death sentence. Those
who dont reach a certain score should be executed.
From an interview in Guitar World, December 1996.

I now screwed up the HTML for anyone else. Let's see if this
helps.

Well, he's not the kind of guy you would want to take home and
introduce to your parents, but I'm glad he has chosen the right
candidate to vote for...at least give the guy some kind of credit for
that! SHEEEEEESH!@

You mean Marilyn Manson is not a woman?

al-d, your posts are looking very normal lately. Are you OK?

Spokesman for Satan, spokesman for Bush. What is so strange about
that?

I have enough trouble just looking at him. It sears my eyeballs

Manson also claimed that despite being a fan of
Lennon's, he believed that former Beatle was
responsible for his own death - the star was gunned down by crazed
fan Mark Chapman in 1980.
Manson said: "While I'm
not a communist, I'm the furthest from a communist, some of
Lennon's communist sentiments in his music later in his life
were very dangerous. I think he died because of it. I don't think his
death was any sort of accident. Aside from that, I think he's one of
my favourite songwriters of all time. I think the b-side for our
first single may have a cover of 'Working Class Hero' on it."
The singer, who was blamed by elements of the media for the
Columbine tragedy on April 20 last year, also drew comparisons
between 'Holy Wood' and The Beatles' 'White
Album', which featured 'Helter Skelter', the track which
Charles Manson said inspired the Sharon Tate murders.
He also argued that The Beatles bore more responsibility for
the Sharon Tate murder by Charles Manson's
'Family' than he did for the US school massacre.

"He also argued that The Beatles bore more responsibility for the

US school massacre."
Could someone please post that argument?
We can start a pool, to see how fast Flint can deconstruct it. I'll
bet on a New York minute. {Unless the uber-posting gremlin gets to
him first}
