Ted Nugent: Thank you, Obama, for giving whites the go-ahead to say ‘n****r’

Ted Nugent finally found a reason to praise President Barack Obama.

The hard rocker-turned-conservative commentator suggested that Obama had finally given white people a license to use a notorious racial slur by uttering it himself in a recent interview.

The president told comedian Marc Maron that racism could not be cured by being too “polite to say n****r in public” – which Nugent took as a green light.

“For those who have chosen terminal denial and have completely lost touch with the real world, the word n****r has historically been used in a powerfully positive way when describing the proud heritage and history of deeply respected, even revered ‘blackness,’” Nugent wrote in a column posted at World Net Daily that contained five unobscured uses of the racial slur.

He complained that the racial slur had remained publicly off-limits for whites – even as some famous and non-famous black people continued to use the word in music, comedy routines, or casual conversation.

Why is being able to say that word SO important to you?

Why are you champing at the bit to be able to say it?

Go ahead and use that word and see where it gets you, Teddy Boy. There are still plenty of venues waiting to prevent you from playing your "music".......

Shit your pants and scream that word as loud as you want to. Why it is such a high priority for him to say that word is curious to me, though. I cannot possibly dislike him any more than I already do though.
