Steve Smith Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 There have been a lot of accusations about Neil supporting white supremacists and Arian organisations because of his readings of Ayn Rand. This is bullshit!!!!! Can we please put this disgraceful slur to bed please? Firstly Neil is a humanitarian who believes in freewill and equality for all of our human race. Secondly, Gary's family are Polish Jews who fled the oppression of the Nazi's before WW2 So can we please put this to bed ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Why are you trolling here? I wondered the same thing when I read your first post. In more than 39 years of listening to, reading about, and enjoying Rush, I have never heard anything close to an accusation like the one you're claiming about. Can you be more specific or point to a credible source of these accusations? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Why are we even talking about this? What accusations? Never heard of this bs...In the late 70's a British critic, I think writing for the NME, implied that the members of Rush were fascist for promoting the writings of Ayn Rand. I am very fuzzy on the details. I think the OP is confused. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
