But I bet I care about the poor more than you do, which puts me morally above you. The song sucks, 1. |

I hate haters like this band. I care more about the poor than they do. I dont believe they believe in freedom like i do. |

It's simple, I believe the US is a force of good in the world, and this band thinks the opposite. I hope this adequately addressed your query. |

OK, I'll bite, what do they "stand for" that you hate so much? Are they racist skin heads? Do they eat children or what?

Anyone who has the courage to stand-up against the wrong headed policies of our nation is a win!Thievery Corporation has taken progressive political stances on various issues, opposing war and exploitative trade agreements, while supporting human rights and food programs. Tracks such as "Amerimacka" and "Revolution Solution" from their album The Cosmic Game and Richest Man in Babylon from the album of the same title reveal the group's opposition to the positions and initiatives of former president George W. Bush's administration. In September 2005, the group participated in the Operation Ceasefire concert, with the objective of ending the Iraq War. From their press release regarding their album Radio Retaliation, Garza said: | “ | Radio Retaliation is definitely a more overt political statement There's no excuse for not speaking out at this point, with the suspension of habeas corpus, outsourced torture, illegal wars of aggression, fuel, food, and economic crises. It's hard to close your eyes and sleep while the world is burning around you. If you are an artist, this is the most essential time to speak up." | ” | —Rob Garza<6> |
Thievery Corporation are vocal advocates for the World Food Programme, seeing hunger as "...something basic, really elemental, that transcends boundaries around the world."<7> At Lollapalooza 2009 the group spoke out against the IMF after playing the politically charged song "Vampires" |

Saw them LIVE a few months ago at the Fabulous Fox. They brought their usual cohorts, and picked up a couple of ATL rappers for that night. Non-stop dance party for the 90 minutes they played. LIVE doesn't come close to describing that experience. WOOOO-EEEE!
