Ted Nugent needs to be at the wrong end of a shooting range…
I’m a mixed bag when it comes to guns. I like shooting (I only have a .22 but would like to get a shotgun and perhaps a revolver). I think “Dirty Harry” is one of the best movies ever, in no small part due to that huge .44 Magnum. I think hunting for food is really the most respectable way to get it, in that primeval-order-of-the-universe way, although if you hunt strictly for “sport” and you’re not going to eat it, you’re a real asshole. Gun control laws should be handled on a regional basis. And I think this country is too frickin’ violent, and easy access to guns and the constant glorification of them in the media most certainly plays a part in it.
But I have a real problem with “gun love”. You know, the gun nuts who obsess over them and rant about how the “must” have guns, with zero restrictions, that we should all arm ourselves, etc. They usually also have an idiotic bumper sticker such as “Charlton Heston is my President” or “Terrorist Hunting Permit” . It’s not too hard to get these people in a tizzy. The funniest thing these yahoos like to talk about is how they need them to somehow protect them from the government. Yeah, riiiiiight. Short of having your own army, if the guv’mint comes gunning for you, you’re toast. Sure, you may take a few feds down before you go, but you’re going to look like a bloody piece of head cheese when the shooting finally stops.
I think I’ve written about him before on here somewhere, but one of the biggest assholes on the planet seems to be über-redneck Ted Nugent. You may (or may not) remember him for his exhibits of masterful songwriting back in the 70’s such as “Cat Scratch Fever” and “Wango Tango”. And that shitty “Damn Yankees” band in the early 90’s with some guy from Styx and a guy from Night Ranger. Quite the supergroup.
Anyways, the self-proclaimed “Motor City Madman”, finding himself utterly irrelevant in the music world today, has made a niche following with the hyper-gun-nut hunting crowd, with his “Kill it and Grill It” show and his tendency to utter things occasionally that make Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter look like geniuses. The latest, from Rolling Stone, by way of Gun Guys- a not so subtle gun dig at Clinton and Obama.
Renegade right-winger Ted Nugent recently went on a vicious onstage rant in which he threatened the lives of Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Decked out in full-on camouflage hunting gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging, “Obama, he’s a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary,” he continued. “You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.” Nugent summed up his eloquent speech by screaming “freedom!”
Freedom to be an ass, I guess. And he’s got it in for those goddamn lib’ruls, too:
Nugent was quoted in a Wall Street Journal story blaming “stoned, dirty, stinky hippies” for “rising rates of divorce, high school drop-outs, drug use, abortion, sexual diseases and crime, not to mention the exponential expansion of government and taxes.”
Yep, it’s all my fault, apparently. Did I tell you I’m also responsible for the Ford Pinto, ABBA, new Coke, and the 8-track player? Now I think the headline that says “threatens to kill” is a bit over the top, but it doesn’t change the fact that this man is seriously becoming more and more unhinged as that prune of a brain of his continues to shrivel, yet another voice of the right-wing ugly brigade.

But are you responsible for disasters like Applebee's or Mandy Patinkin?
Wow, I actually learned something on your blog today. I didn't realize that Ted Nugent was in Damn Yankees.
Applebee's, yes… my fault. But even I can't come up with something as horrible as Patinkin.
And Nugent's participation in the creation of that stupid Damn Yankees and the effect it had on my ears is more horrible than his stupid right-wing mouth diahrrea.
Except From the May 28, 2006 Rutland Herald Online "…Ted didn't go to Vietnam.And how Ted managed to avoid the draft makes President Bush look like a war hero.In that 1990 interview with the Free Press and from information collected from the Chickenhawk Web site, Nugent told about how he avoided the draft: "He claims that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment.""
Didn't know about the Damn Yankees either. Wow!
Ted Nugent is a typical douchebag right-wing chickenhawk pussy. He has no problem spouting his militaristic fascist rhetoric “supporting” the troops in their illegal war of aggression, but when he was asked to serve in a different illegal war, Vietnam, he went to extraordinary lengths to avoid it, not bathing for a month and showing up at the draft board in jeans encrusted with dried urine and feces. But he got his deferment!! What a cowardly cunt. I hope he lives long enough to find out that 9/11 was orchestrated by his beloved right-wing government. Maybe the shock will kill him and I can then go take a massive shit on his grave.

I couldn't have said it better, my friend.

Whiners!!!!!!!! I saw Ted in the ‘Stan when he came to TF Phoenix. I didn’t see any of you pussies there helping us in our “….. illegal war of aggression…..” a.k.a. protecting your sorry elitist asses.
LOL!!!! Have a nice day!!!!
Really? Ted was fighting in Afghanistan? Funny, he didn’t have the balls when it came to ‘Nam, was too busy sitting in his shitty undies…… What changed? Protecting my sorry elitist ass from the Afghanis? When did the Afghanis attack us?
