Ted Nugent Gets A Show On Discovery

Alright, this is bullshit. I mean, the Dixie Chicks practically get blackballed for saying in March 2003, "Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." The Dixie Chicks get demonized and have death threats hurled their way. (BTW, I love the Dixie Chicks for speaking the truth.)

Now that we have a democratic president, Ted Nugent goes on a rampage, claiming he wants to kill Obama, Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, plus a host of other Democrats. And what do we hear from the wingnuts? Silence. As a matter of fact, Nugent is seen as a hero by the right wing idiots, and he gets his own show on Discovery.

I used to love it - it had so many great shows about science and nature - and now it's almost all trashy reality stuff. Hiring Ted Nugent isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel; it's gouging a hole in the barrel and scraping up the crap underneath.

For about two years. Have not watched it in years.

Now it appeals to mindless sheep. Kinda like Fox News.

This explains the new Nugent show.
