That makes absolutely no sense.

In that case, you might as well discredit the majority of the Beatles' work considering a lot of it was politically driven in some way... and I highly doubt it was FOR war. Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower", is that bad? Or do you not listen to that music because it's "polluted by commercialism" or whatever?

Why do you think it's propaganda? It's not. If Kerry PAID him to make that song, then sure, but I don't think that's the case here. A musician makes music and lyrics from what they feel inside. If Eminem wants to express his anger about the Iraq war and our current president, so be it.

I think that's a very closed minded outlook on things.
