I have noticed that many people will say that they do not care about a musician's politics as long as those politics do not include something they really disagree with (for example: nazism). I disagree with Consolidated's super-liberalism but their album "Friendly Fascism" produced by Jack Dangers is excellent. I wonder, though, if some group of Hitler Youth wannabes put out an equally good album would I like it? I probably would be turned off. This is clearly hypocritical.
