If you're not a fan, you probably ought to be
My favorite artist. Of all time. (Leonardo is just so 15th century...)
Favorite songs: "Hardware Store" and "White and Nerdy".
I never would have imagined that he'd take #1 in album sales, though.

They are both excellent works of parody and I do enjoy them, but both of them show the usual bias that you would expect from the Hollywood Left.
In "Word Crimes", at 1:13, there is a smear of the Tea Party by using the picture of protester with a ridiculously misspelled sign.
The person to whom the image refers was actually an Alinskyite who was crashing the protest.

In "Foil", at 1:18, the tone of the piece changes to a litany of conspiracy which associates legitimate concerns of globalization with obvious nuttiness.

Again, I think both pieces are very well done.
I just no longer have much patience with the Leftist Peanut Gallery.
I've been an Al fan all my life, however, and I don't paint him in with the Hollywood left. For one, he's married - once. Two, he never goes out of his way to inject himself into political fights like The Dixie Chicks, Tom Cruz, or Susan Sarandon. Those to me are the Leftist Peanut Gallery. Three, how many people on the left are as clever and witty as Al? (See "Word Crimes").
I'm open for more evidence, but he doesn't even use foul language - not on stage (seen him four times in person) or in his music.

Well, Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, for starters.

How do you know that? Where's your evidence?
1) Demand citation and evidence on every possible excruciating minutium.
2) Dismiss any offered citation as shilling for white supremacists.
3) Go to 1.
Hey, Maph, piss off.
Piss off.
The pic is not from a Tea Party at all, but from a war/antiwar dual protest in 2003.
There is a line of thinking which claims that the word moron is intentionally misspelled as a slap to Jim Moran and his antiwar supporters.
However, the use of the image is plain: pro-American people are idiots who deserve little better than ridicule.
Not the best source, but enough for now.

Because of the intent in how the image is used, my original issue with the Weird Al video still stands...
And Maph can still piss off.
