"Imagine telling the Jews that this is the wrong time to condemn Hitler for the Holocaust," Tankian said.

From The Onion's interview with filmmaker Michael Moore:

O: The challenge of being left-wing in mainstream culture seems to be that people see hypocrisy in you that they don't see in others. You know, "Oh, you made this movie for a big studio, and you did this book for a major publisher, and you're working with Rage Against The Machine [ tickets ], and they're on Sony. People seem to hold left-wing people to standards that they wouldn't hold...

MM: But the people who do that are not people from the working class. Nobody from the working class would ever begrudge my success. If you're from the working class, if any of us escape and do well, it's like a big cheer goes up. "One more made it out! I'm next! I'm in line!" ... There's no left-wing community in Flint, Michigan [Moore's hometown]. I was not raised in any kind of family like that, just people who watch a lot of TV and eat all the wrong foods. If change is going to occur in this county, it's going to come by reaching out to those people, not going and preaching to the choir.

... Getting back to the idea of hypocrisy, with bands like Rage, their answer is, "Look, we want our albums in as many people's hands as possible." Obviously, the best way to do that is to get a contract with Sony. It's up to you whether or not you're going to sell out at that point.

Here's our problem with the idea of Rage being a force for socio-political change or awareness among the "people who watch a lot of TV and eat all the wrong foods": no one who hears, say, "Bulls on Parade" on the radio is going to know what it's about. The lyrics are too unclear. Even the chorus, "BULLS ON PARADE!": We didn't know that's what it was until we saw it in print. And we're, like, hip.
