How do violence-promoting fools like this find a way in front of a mic? Note the stellar crowd behind the Motor City Madman.
In addition to the remarks we reported yesterday, Nugent compared President Obama and the Democrats to a coyote that needs to be shot. He then told the crowd that “we’re Americans because we defied the king,” and we must be like Braveheart and “ride into that battlefield and chop [Democrats’] heads off in November.”

I’m trying to figure out why they think that this guy matters. He hasn’t had a hit record in decades, is a lousy musician regardless, and becoming the legal guardian for his girlfriend because she wasn’t old enough to marry him was just bizarre. Are they so gun freaky that none of that matters to them? Yikes!
The wingnuts, you mean? I have no idea. I’m trying to figure out why the Secret Service thinks he doesn’t.
And now the Secret Service is in the case.
It’s kind of funny, the way rightists elevate figures like Nugent (or Chuck Norris?!) to political leader status. Who’s next? Hulk Hogan?
Nugent’s not exactly John Wayne is he?
Nope, he’s exactly John Wayne: a pretend tough guy who dodged military service while spouting macho BS.
Lost respect for Anthony Bourdain when he visited this scumbag and his firing range on “No Reservations.”
And, naturally, tough-guy Ted whines like the petulant spoiled brat he is.
he really is PAH-thetic
Like Bush and Cheney. Right.
What really pisses me off is all those innocent people he’s killed, using remote controlled drones.
The height of cowardice.
Who, Ted Nugent?
I don’t think there is any need to have a headline like this for this particular story.
It would be easy, and factual, for nugent to say he never said the President needs to be shot.
He was spewing the paranoia the right has about an intrusive government.
There isn’t a day that goes by that doesn’t have a posting here, about the dubious constitutionality of something this administration is doing, or the malfeasance of the DOJ’s inaction regarding crimes like bank fraud or any other provable criminality. Rendition, drone flights, here or abroad. Reportage that has a foundation in reality.
At another point in this harangue nugent said he would be ‘dead or in jail’ in a year if the President were reelected. So yes, it would be ‘interesting’ to have him clarify that statement, and expand on the meaning, or thinking behind his thinking.
Or, for that matter to report on what he said for 10 minutes about the ‘crimes’ the country is committing, that he would equate to a urinating coyote.
The trap is sprung.
he did,pituuuuuuuey……shame Tony
Hmmmm
I see nothing wrong here. In fact I am now listening to Ted Nugent playing my fav song of his, “Stranglehold” right now.
Please refer to article right above you about no super secret Obama by Jon Walker.
Better yet, please refer to the book by Chris Hedges on the Death Of The Liberal Class. Which explains in precise detail on how the liberal class have driven white working class people right into the hands of the Tea Party.
Oh did I mention
ROCKY ANDERSON FOR PRESIDENT
Does Ted’s boyfriend make him wear that silly gray “soul patch”?
Why is it that piece of sub-human filth gets to live and Levon Helm has to die?
Oh for Nugent to meet “Braveheart’s” fate…
I’m ok with that.

Dang, I’d forgot about that sleazy-ass move of his. Why creeps like him live forever while Levon Helm’s at death’s door is a mystery to me.
That’s about right. In fact, Marion Morrison would never have had the career he did had not virtually every major male Hollywood star enlisted during World War II. He and Reagan got to take advantage of the fact that the A-list talent — Gable, Niven, Stewart, etc. — was serving either in the European or Pacific theater.
At least the SSS got it right about him. They gave him a 1-Y (Psych) deferment.
Someone was prescient, eh?
John Wayne Gacy, perhaps.
Wayne and Reagan sat home, while Eddie Albert(Green Acres) piloted landing craft for the Navy in Pacific island invasions.
“It’s a land unknown to man where fantasy is fact,
so if you can please understand you might not come back.”
He was describing his own demented inner world If he had had the testicles to go in country, he’d have been left face-down in a rice paddy, and we’d all be better off.

And Jimmy Stewart flew bomber missions as did the excoriatated-by-the-Right Goerge McGovern.
Leslie Howard was shot down while doing speeches about Britain and some espionage work.
Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt was everywhere during the war–risking danger frequently while serving America.
Winston Churchill’s daughter Mary worked a gun sight on anti-aircraft guns during the Blitz.
Princess Elizabeth(now QE II) was a motor mechanic
Her parents continued to occupy “Ground Zero”, Buckingham Palace, during the Blitz and were bombed, nearly killed
Brave, Brave and legally crazy Ted Nugent–so much to admire(acidly)
But not quite so brave as Mary Churchill or Lt. Elizabeth Windsor, or Captain George McGovern, or Leslie Howard, or that Lesbian Eleanor Roosevelt, or Jimmy Steward, or Marlene Deitrich, or Pro-choice and pro-gun control Republican Tom Ridge(who served in Vietnam) or Poet Rupert Brooke who enlisted to serve in WWI…or the women of the Mujeres Libres of the Spanish Civil War, or so very many others…..but damn, what a patriot when he is armed with a microphone and the danger of a paper cut from his scripts, right?
