Ted Nugent Remarks On Obama Draw Secret Service Scrutiny

Rocker Ted Nugent has reportedly earned himself the scrutiny of the Secret Service after saying over the weekend that he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if President Barack Obama is re-elected.

Nugent made the comments during an interview at the National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis, comparing Obama and his administration to "coyotes" that needed to be shot and encouraging voters to "chop [Democrats'] heads off in November."

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who Nugent has endorsed, also spoke at the NRA convention.

The Secret Service is now aware of Nugents remarks and is taking the appropriate action, Dan Amira of New York Magazine reports. It is customary for the Secret Service to investigate any threatening comments made against the president.

that's a more clear and direct threat than you'd find in a typical mafia movie, certainly.

He was inciting others to shoot the President and others they with whom they don't agree. Cowards like Nugent would rather others did their dirty work for them.

As for "If he gets re-elected, I'll be dead..."--are you going to kill yourself, Ted?

Look what happened to Gabby Gifford.
They keep shouting fire in a crowded theater and getting away with it.
Meanwhile someone just criticizes the war criminal of a Dick and they end up in court.

about being dead or in jail is a call for armed revolt if Obama is re-elected. The racists have bought guns and bullets by the tons. After 4 years of fermenting, some are dying to make use of all those bullets hoarded up.

It's very dangerous.
