If you want to make a real difference - don't bother insulting  this guy. 
It's 'cliche' and he's probably heard it all before.  


Just tell him the reasons why you don't want your music associated with  
him.



Tell him you don't agree or identify with his politics and tell him what  
you do (but not where you work or anything else)
Keep it respectful (something he doesn't expect) and keep it  intelligent.




It will give him something to think about on a deeper level, which is  what 
he actually needs.

I've been contacted by someone who wants to use my music on one  of his 
YouTube videos.  Normally I say 'fair enough' and only ask that  I am credited, 
but this thing there is a slight difference.  


The guy is an advocate of views I find ethically repugnant.  His  stock 
credit does say that others whose work is credited in his videos do  not 
necessarily agree with his views, etc, but somehow that doesn't seem  enough.


Do you think I ought to limit who can use what I produce on the basis  of 
what they are saying?
