- DreKor, on 08/05/2008, -0/+133Less ironic: Rage Against The Machine to play in same city as RNC.
Lame-ass attention-whoring headline. - stellamaris, on 08/05/2008, -1/+73Inaccurate. They will be playing across the river from the RNC. Buried.
- Dumbledorito, on 08/05/2008, -0/+37Maybe they mean that they'll be playing AT the RNC... y'know, by pointing their speakers in their general direction.
- nickels, on 08/05/2008, -3/+31Who wrote this headline, Alanis Morissette?
RTFA next time subby:
Band will play Minneapolis, while Republican gathering happens across the river in St. Paul, Minnesota. - kemp34, on 08/05/2008, -1/+23Digg party foul. Totally false headline.
I notice VH1's headline is false as well.
These folks are playing at the RALLY FOR THE REPUBLIC. - Obermeister, on 08/05/2008, -2/+21Buried, you pathetic attention whore.
- vbullinger, on 08/05/2008, -1/+19I live in the Twin Cities. I disagree with you.
- vbullinger, on 08/05/2008, -4/+21Terribly inaccurate. They're playing at the Target Center.
The Ron Paul Rally for the Republic will be playing at the Target Center.
There's your connection.
They are not protesting Republicans. I'm pretty sure this has some kind of connection to Ron Paul or the Rally for the Republic or the Campaign for Liberty or Libertarianism, etc. - gegroff, on 08/05/2008, -2/+17Buried for being inaccurate and lame.
- decadre, on 08/05/2008, -5/+20De la Rocha ... "Now, we know Brother Obama. ... But I tell you what, if he comes to power come November and he doesn't start pulling troops out of Afghanistan, I know a lot of people who are gonna stand up and burn down every office of every Senate."
Should we alert the Washington DC Fire Department now, or later? - vbullinger, on 08/05/2008, -3/+14Different city. St. Paul vs. Minneapolis.
- grandinferno, on 08/06/2008, -2/+13What is WRONG is people's inability to CLICK LINKS and READ.
Whoever posted this is a *****. - panickedthumb, on 08/06/2008, -1/+10How has this missed being buried into oblivion? It's obviously inaccurate.
- ericthegreat, on 08/06/2008, -1/+10Exactly, digging down as inaccurate
- T3hJ3hu, on 08/06/2008, -1/+9bury that *****
Rage always does this, by the way. - BobTheChainsaw, on 08/06/2008, -1/+9Buried for inaccuracies.
- fadetoone, on 08/06/2008, -1/+9Good call, now bury it as inaccurate.
- ThinkOutTheBox, on 08/06/2008, -0/+8Buried because if you've ever listened to Rage Against the Machine you would know they would never support or endorse the RNC or DNC.
- inactive, on 08/05/2008, -0/+8Well there's protesting and there's posting of photos and blogging. I'll do my best. It may not be daily, but there will be plenty of video and sound.
We had a pretty good protest at the White House on Saturday, a protest organized by stopwaroniran.org. Photos and audio coming up on yellowcakewalk.net soon. There was a fair amount of press coverage. - rald84, on 08/06/2008, -0/+7iraq. troops out of iraq.
- inactive, on 08/06/2008, -1/+8That title ***** scared me.
BURIED. - inactive, on 08/05/2008, -0/+7Excellent. We protesters will check it out!
- tsf5000, on 08/06/2008, -1/+8OMG RATM IS PLAYING ON THE SAME PLANET AS THE RNC!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buried as inaccurate. - scheibs14, on 08/05/2008, -0/+6I live about two miles from the Target Center and I'm pretty stoked to be going (hopefully I can get good tix). Which is opposed to me living about 15 miles from the Xcel Center where the RNC is. Buried for being horribly inaccurate
- droo31, on 08/06/2008, -1/+7Wow...that's not a misleading headline at all. Nice bait and switch.
- gaqua, on 08/06/2008, -2/+8I think the real news here is that Rage Against the Machine still exists.
- inactive, on 08/06/2008, -0/+5I was thinking wow, this is a disaster waiting to happen!
- samscomputer2, on 08/06/2008, -1/+6read the article msaleem
- Mr.Gone, on 08/06/2008, -0/+5Good lord. What a stupid headline. Minneapolis and St.Paul are the Twin Cities, not the Conjoined Twin Cities. Things can happen at the same time and not be related. F***ing idiots.
- notque, on 08/06/2008, -0/+5That isn't irony, it's called intentional you jackass. RNC Welcoming Committee, All should come!
http://www.nornc.org/ - notque, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4Rage is a part of the RNC welcoming committee. It's intentional, and it's a real story you jackasses.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6PLwOt0Bls - Typhoon2009, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4You'd think that with his extremely pissed off stance towards the US government, Rocha would be even more revered on Digg than Trent Reznor.
- l0k0, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4They did the exact same thing for the DNC a few years back. Watch their music video Testify, they have always protested the two party system. The fact you think they support the GOP is laughable.

DNC Protest:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lqzaoXt4-U - CommanderEFG, on 08/06/2008, -1/+4Jumping on the buried bandwagon
- inactive, on 08/06/2008, -0/+3Damnit, I'm on the wrong side of the river.
- BillyK, on 08/06/2008, -1/+4Buried. Inaccurate.
- yikiad, on 08/06/2008, -1/+4"Band will play Minneapolis, while GOP gathering happens across the river in St. Paul, Minnesota."
buried for yet another untrue sensationalist headline.... - moraldebate, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2Yes it's not technically true but I think worst of all it's not even technically ironic. It seems like a pretty normal thing for a big political act to play party conventions. They actually already did this in 2000 for the Dem one.
- scoottie, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2because MTV doesnt have enough space to put music or news on with all those reality shows
- neognostic, on 08/05/2008, -0/+2Are you going to update your blog daily from the protests at the RNC?
- notque, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2http://digg.com/politics/We_re_Getting_ready_RNC_W ...
Vote up that. instead. - Jaablaze, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2buried.
- Jelga, on 08/06/2008, -1/+3Misleading title, buried.
- thepompano, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2That video was a RIOT!
- appleseed1234, on 08/06/2008, -1/+3***** you MSaleem, you're worse than MrBabyMan.
- notque, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2They are playing BECAUSE of the RNC. They are WELCOMING THEM!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6PLwOt0Bls - inactive, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1Hey power user, read your submissions please.
- xenoc1de, on 08/06/2008, -1/+2The point is, the title leads you to think that RATM is playing for the RNC, which would make it ironic. This is pretty far from what it implies.
- moraldebate, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1How can it be ironic for a protest band to play at a protest?
Remember kids, Rage Against The Machine hates democrats too. - notque, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1http://digg.com/politics/We_re_Getting_ready_RNC_W ...
