That's pretty horrible. The other example that springs to mind is the use of Tolkien's work to promote race-hate propaganda.

But anything, seriously anything, can be twisted; and a lot of things can be twisted in millions of different ways. Think of all the groups who hijacked Nietzche's philsophy; total opposites of each other and they all claimed him as their own.

You could construct a compelling argument for either side of the gun-ownership debate from Tolkien. I just don't take it seriously.
