Dave Mustaine Takes the Crazy Train to Loonyville, Accuses Obama of Staging the Aurora Shootings

How about that! Dave Mustaine just surpassed Ted Nugent as the premier wack-job rock star of the conservative movement. What’d he say this time? Months after endorsing Rick Santorum for President, the tea-party nutbag is now accusing President Obama of staging massacres in order to influence guns legislation. As he told a crowd back in Singapore:

“Back in my country, my president … he’s trying to pass a gun ban, so he’s staging all of these murders, like the ‘Fast And Furious’ thing down at the border … Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there … and now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple.”

Full-on nutbar. That break-up with Metallica took a while to truly metastasize, but the trauma has clearly gone to the man’s head.
