Thread cleaned.
Enough with the personal attacks.
This thread has got bundles of fun already without the same old personal arguments cropping up.
Stick to the topic.
As for the deletion (by Meat or Facebook) I can't say i'm suprised. If somebody called me a "fat f*ck" i'm sure i'd delete it myself. I can't think of a single reason for someone to let that stand on their own page
The same goes for people who post saying they're going to burn all his albums. Why would you want such a tirade of hate on your own wall?
Especially when it's bound to do nothing more than encourage other loonies (let me repeat the word for emphisis, LOONIES) to post such hate messages just because the guy picked a candidate they don't agree with.
Folks have posted here that they support Romney, but those people are not called gay bashers or women haters. Their choice of candidate might not be agreed with, but they are at least treated with respect (or at the very least, a lack of open hostility).
It's such a shame that part of his fanbase projects so much onto him that they feel betrayed that he has a different political point of view from them.
People like that are freaking nuts

If Romney wins I think that that is even more likely than if he loses.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a healthy mix of both fans and assholes who say they're fans who are not fans anymore because they think it makes some sort of point
The people pretending to be fans don't matter.
The people who are fans who want to burn Bat Out Of Hell are either the most casual of fans who are not really losing anything by getting rid of their copy, or the nuttiest of the nuttiest who think they've been betrayed because the singer of their favourite album doesn't share their views.
The latter should not be allowed near tall buildings with rifles
The normal fan, the sane fan, can seperate the politics from the music.
I support Obama (well, actually I now back Vermin
) and I listen to Meat Loaf. Life doesn't feel complicated or compromised in the least
