NO MORE FREE PASS: Activists Disrupt U2 Concert, Tell Bono: ‘U Pay Your Tax 2’. Like Al Gore, Bono’s actions don’t match his policy urgings.

UPDATE: Mike McNally: “Of course, no conservative is going to quibble about the band’s right to take all legally-available steps to minimize their tax liability. The trouble is, such business dealings sit rather uneasily alongside Bono’s repeated calls for Western governments to send more money to developing nations, and write off outstanding debt. From the conservative point of view, if Bono devoted his energy to encouraging private individuals and business to hand over their cash to charities, there wouldn’t be an issue here; the problem is, if governments are to send more money to Africa they need to get it from someone, and that someone is you, me and U2.”

The Louis Vuitton ads don’t help Bono here, either.
