Charlie Daniels passes away after suffering stroke

40. I would not (and did not) equate Daniel's political views to Nazism

My reference to "Nazi" was to illustrate an (extreme) point on the continuum -- when it would intellectually dishonest (for me) to trot out the "art separate from the artist" rationale. At certain points of unsavory and toxic belief -- that argument just doesn't stand up.

I'm sorry if that point wasn't made clear in the first post.

And, while neither you nor I attempt to pin the "N" label on Mr. Daniels -- many of his (clearly articulated) views and opinions -- were quite unsavory and toxic. If you were unaware of this perhaps you should acquaint yourself.
