Now that's true, because they've opened up their progressive fan base immensely as a result of the press they've been doing lately. I actually don't agree with them calling their former fans "rednecks" and the like in their interviews, because I think there was probably a better way to show that they felt betrayed/alienated by their audience than to descend into childish name-calling. But folks on the left like nothing better than to feel like they're morally and intellectually superior to people on the right, and they're snapping up the CD/downloading it by the thousands.
