I wonder if he's going to get the same treatment as the Dixie Chicks got.

Dave Mustaine, Megadeth Singer, Says Obama 'Staged' Aurora Shooting, Sikh Temple Shooting To Pass A Gun Ban (VIDEO)
Screenshot of Dave Mustaine on stage in Singapore. During a recent show in Singapore during Megadeth's "Th1rt3en World Tour," Mustaine took to the mic from the stage to discuss his beliefs about some of the recent gun violence in America. "Back in my country, my president," Mustaine begins and then pretends to gag himself with his finger, "is trying to pass a gun ban so he's staging all of these murders. The 'Fast and Furious' thing down at the border. And Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there. And now, the beautiful people at the Sikh temple."
Mustaine went on to say, "I don't know where I'm going to live if America keeps going the way it's going because it looks like it's turning into Nazi America."
Watch the clip of Mustaine speaking above -- Segment about Obama and guns begins at 2:38.
Mustaine has been outspoken about his dislike for President Obama, but this may be his most extreme statement to date. On a recent Canadian TV show "The Hour," he said that he is certain that Obama "was born somewhere else than America." And back in February Mustaine even endorsed Rick Santorum, saying to MusicRadar.com:
"...You know, I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I'm hoping that if it does come down to it, we'll see a Republican in the White House... and that it's Rick Santorum."
Weighing in on the rest of the field, Mustaine called Newt Gingrich an “angry little man” and said Ron Paul will “make total sense for a while, and then he'll say something so way out that it negates everything else.”
As for Mitt Romney, the rocker said, “I've got to tell you, I was floored the other day to see that Mitt Romney's five boys have a $100 million trust fund. Where does a guy make that much money? So there's some questions there.”
Still, Mustaine would pick any of the GOP candidates over President Barack Obama.

You beat me to it, Momi! I read that first thing thing morning and I was all...Dave, you are smoking the crack. All the proof about the birth certificate? WHAT FUCKING PROOF?
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
I hate this guy. What's hilarious is Dave Mustaine made his money in the 80's during the Reagan/Bush era being all "let's rebel against the man!". Now he's the stick up his ass suit that he made a career mocking.
They played a clip of him on Howard Stern talking about how horrible gay people were a while back then he went into his tinfoil hat gov't conspiracy theories and I realized that Dave went off the deep end.
I remember hearing in the 90's that he became Christian but that was it. I didn't know he was such a nutjob until recently. Maybe he has been this loony all along.
He's been pretty crazy for a long time though, hasn't he?
That's what I was thinking. I remember finding out how crazy he was when he weighed in on the birther nonsense.
As for the politics of Megadeath fans, Mustaine endorsed Santorum, so if his fans are anything like he is... How odd is it to imagine Santorum fans listening to Megadeath?

I can TOTALLY see Santorum moshing to Symphony of Destruction....
.... and ending up on the ground in the pit over and over.
