I Never Liked Her Music Anyway

By Matt Margolis | November 18, 2004

Earlier this year, singer Linda Ronstadt aligned herself with Michael Moore, (remember the incident at the Aladdin), now she’s opening her mouth and not just singing, but bashing Republicans. In an interview with USA Today, she claimed, “People don’t realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves,” lamenting about the election.

On Iraq, she opined, “I worry that some people are entertained by the idea of this war. They don’t know anything about the Iraqis, but they’re angry and frustrated in their own lives.” Then she compared current American politics with the Hitler regime:

It’s like Germany, before Hitler took over. The economy was bad and people felt kicked around. They looked for a scapegoat. Now we’ve got a new bunch of Hitlers.”

A bunch of new Hitlers? Who is the one demonizing an entire group of people solely for being different? Who was the group breaking into campaign headquarters, stealing laptops, vandalizing buildings and signs? Which side really more closely resembles fascists?

Perhaps it’s time for people like Linda Ronstadt and the rest of her ilk to look in the mirror and see who really resembles fascists.
