And of course you know that Ted Nugget-brain is a keyboard warrior that runs around playing soldier on his farm. He's too much of a Chickenhawk to get anywhere near Obama.

Like that other time he shit his pants for the government

He actually got the parents of a 17 yr. old girl that he was "involved with" to sign over custody to him.

If someone is a known RW nutcase, the get buy with saying anything. Of course some nobody nut would be facing some serious interrogation.

Different rules for upper-class nuts and RW nuts. It's pretty sickening, I doubt the Secret Service will do much because HE'S TED.

It's how they operate and the media will ignore it, Ted Nugent is no Hillary Rosen.

He urinated and crapped in his pants. When he showed up for the physical they told him he was crazy and to go home.

Ted Nugent is a damn cowardly prick.

I hate Ted "nuget in my pants" Nugent, for what he stands for. This is the first time I have heard of this. Is there a link to read? Thanks

Oh, btw, I served my country. USN, VP-1, AW2, Barbers Point, Hawaii, 1975-1979.

here is one source. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9a1_1250550290 I heard him say this myself in an interview. I cannot mention names here but someone who was around him often told me that he bragged about it all the time.

I don't get it...

Cat Shit Fever indeed.

He's just making stuff up, lying, and the crowd cheers him on.

who played with him on his new's years eve shows in detroit- his word on Ted- waste of talent

There are other issues Teh Nuge should be investigated for.

that threatens Pres O's life and the lives of people who do not worship the GOP. For "Christian" they sure are some evil people.

Let me explain. Not a Nugent fan, but when I lived in Tulsa, Ted would routinely come through on the C-List tour of musicians, and he had just put out, "Kill It and Grill It." Being the nice liberal that I am, I decided to buy it for my brother-in-law who is also very conservative (but soft-spoken) as well as a hunter (both gun and bow). So my then-girlfriend at the time (who's Colombian) and I went to the Borders, talked smack in Spanish about all the nutjobs in line with us, and as Ted was signing my copy, I stuck my tongue out while my gf took a picture. He handed it to me and said, "Enjoy that pardner. There's a lot of wisdom in there." I kid you not, I injured myself stifling a laugh. I think Ted was a little confused in that within half a second, my expression went from more or less blank to mirth to pain. I had to take the elevator back down to the 1st floor and sit down on the sidewalk outside until the stitch went away. Then my gf and I went to a restaurant and read passages along the line of, "The point of life is to live, and if you're not living then you have no life."

Gave it to my brother-in-law a few weeks later for which he thanked me profusely. A couple weeks later, I saw him again and asked him if he enjoyed the book, and he sighed and said, "Jamie (still calls me that cuz I was a kid when he married my sister), at first, I thought it was just some kind of weird drug humor that I wasn't getting until I saw him on ESPN, and he really is that big of a dumb-ass. Recipes look good though."

TlalocW

I enjoyed reading it.

Sorry about the mirth to pain, but it gave you a good story to tell.

The problem is that, like most hate mongers, he may inspire someone to do the dirty work for him. I'm sure that'll be the focus of any conversation with The Service.

Someday, someone will do something horrible and openly admit they got their call to action from Nugent, Hannity, or Limbaugh. Such an act should spawn legislation that limits how such people speak to the weak minded masses. I know that's a 1st amendment issue, but there's a difference between stating how much one hates someone and suggesting violent action.

Funny that the people who follow him so religiously wouldn't be able to stand five minutes of his music. He opened for Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Double Trouble about ten years ago, and his show is a horrible spectacle of out of place extended guitar solos and pointed hate speech.

I can see him one day becoming new George Zimmerman

He's a career poser who gained peak fame through the song "Journey To The Center Of The Mind". The song was an anthem of mine at a time when LSD was just hitting the mainstream. A few hundred trips later, he proclaimed fans like me "hopeless idiots" and insisted he never used drugs in his life.

Now I'm not saying I didn't have a good time, but it was a clear indicator of the kind of opportunistic sell-out phony he is, and I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of the man's mouth. Ted Nugent says whatever is good for Ted Nugent at the time.

He and Mitt have that in common, so it's little wonder they shared the news cycle today.

I saw the Amboy Dukes at the Fox Theater in Atlanta opening for Jimmy Hendrix. He sucked then as a player but I would have thought he would end up as an intelligent progressive. But picturing him as an eventual babbling idiot was not on my radar.

me of potential suicides who announce their intentions well ahead of time.

As is the idea of rule of law. I'm sure Ted's feeling very "oppressed by Big Brother" right about now. Sigh, Freedom of Speech is for assholes too.

I don't see what he said as a direct threat...The SS will pay him a visit anyway, it will be good for him.

The SS will check it out.

Not because he has a lot of guns.

Anyone else would be classified as a "domestic terrorist", wth? If it were any of us on this website, the SWAT team would have already knocked the door down to arrest us. You are exactly right.

but the most obvious does come across as pretty threatening.

If he meant something else he needs to clarify ASAP and watch himself in the future.

If he meant it as a threat . . . . well that was a pretty stupid thing to say.

/either way I'm sure it's just talk but still, you can't make those threats even jokingly.

Dead AND in jail.

He ever goes to jail he'll likely end up that way anyhow there are some truly tough folks there who won't abide his BS.

that assholes like Ted and Wayne do more harm to their cause than just about anything else?

This kind of stupidity isn't a capital offense.

And someone remind the Secret Service to wear gloves. That guy is nasty.

Remember all those Republican tea party types who had visible guns at various rallies? In 2010 at Capitol Hill a Tea Party sign threatened gun violence if the health care bill passed. There have been many, many more.

in the '70s till I found out what he stands for.

The RNC talks Plausible Deniability out-of-both-sides-of-their-mouths:

TTE, "The RNC can't make Nugent do or not do anything. He has a right to his views. Even if his choice of how to express himself is radical, everyone knows not to take him literally." In the next breath Republicans will extoll the DIVINE VIRTUES of the ultimate, life-or-death, commitment to VALUES, the UNNECESSARY war on Iraq comes to mind, as does also the murder of George Tiller, the shootings at Gabriel Gifford's rally ("Innocent people hurt? Well, shit happens.), and so-called "Stand your ground" gun laws.

All of which demonstrates that all of us SHOULD INDEED take Ted Nugent very VERY seriously, because he is speaking to REAL people willing and capable of hurting others, even if most of them don't engage in direct physical violence, they do take such HATE SPEECH, from celebrities especially, as A BLESSING on anyone to get a buzzzz on for _____________ by acting their delusions out. Nugent/Limbaugh et al speak to those who NEEEEED to find meaning in the struggles of daily life, or just to people operating on knee-jerk reflexes. Pseudo-spiritual DELUSIONS are extremely fertile grounds for violence at ALL levels.

My point here is that Republicans are schizophrenic: they say Nugent's behavior, and other such Republican behavior, does not matter - AND - they say that positions like this and its contingent behaviors ARE manifestations of one's VALUES, which they claim are from God, so acting upon one's values, just like WAR, is evidence of one's true relationship to the divine. IOW, certain behaviors matter ONLY when the RNC, speaking for God, says that they do or don't.

Just like DIVINE-RIGHT monarchs, The-Powers-that-Be USE the confusion generated by "It doesn't matter" & "ULTIMATE commitment to values is salvation" to do WHATEVER they want.

and a low life 1%er who thinks the world turns on his every word......

Put him in a big fenced area with a hungry bear, and just a toy bow-n-arrow to defend himself. When he fills his pants this time, the bear won't care in contrast to the lengths the coward went to avoid Vietnam.

smother his ass with honey. Let's see how brave you are when a bear is chewing on your pooper.

Smother his ass with honey. Let's see how brave you are when a bear is chewing on your pooper.

Who exactly does he think he is?

Ted Nugent is nothing but a no-talent draft dodging chickenhawk pedophile animal murderer teabagger and I am ashamed he is from Michigan.

A second hand guitar player with thought disorders and lots of loaded high powered rifles and shotguns. Some people need to be sucker punched. Ted needs to be sucker punched and publicly horse whipped.
And all those NRA loons who cheer his every utterance need a visit from the Secret Service.
Ignorant crackpots with loaded weapons is a recipe for (______) fill in the blank.

You'll have to find some new hobbies.

Someone alerted on your post and you dodged the bullet, but perhaps you might want to re-read the TOS.

I voted to hide your post. I was in the minority, unfortunately. I'm sure you meant your comment lightheartedly, but that kind of prison rape commentary doesn't go over well here.

pedophiles don't do well in general population, they are often raped and so need the protection of a "bubba". Check out what happened to Richard Speck.

It is a topic that is "not for jokes" on this message board.

just the way it is for pedophiles/sex offenders in prison. Unfortunate, but true.

The idea is punishment, not torture.

I'm a bit aghast at this subthread.

Just in case you think your rhetoric can't possibly lead to a real horror...I give you Ted Nugent, George Zimmerman, et al.

Wise up before it's too late.

Just sayin'. There's enough wiggle-room in those words to let him weasel out of it. That's the way Limbaugh always escaped.

(Frankly, if Nuggent hadn't hit it big, he'd be in prison already, and not for anything to do with politics.)

Either way, why do I think the rule-of-law, tough-on-crime crowd cheered those very words? They knew what Nuggent was saying, even if he can't be nailed with it.

It's worthwhile for Obama to win just because you know the invective will suddenly go quiet. The Repub propaganda machine has pulled out all the stops against Obama for the last four years, only to assure he's not re-elected. But in the meantime, there have been no purges, no concentration camps, no storm troopers breaking down people's doors (except in the War on Drugs, which the Repubs want). The flames have to be fanned pretty hard to keep up this level of rage. It all becomes moot on November 7th. If Obama wins, I'm thinking things will go pretty quiet.

Id love it so much when one of these folk is made an example of in front of all of the country. either shut up or put away for good , as this is no laughing matter folk. if we did this under ronnie , bush and bush , wed have been locked away. and i still see flush rush is still on

I'm sure there's some good music from Manson. but maybe Ted will be chatting this up with him... at some point.. a year in jail should be doing him some good.

if they have anybody left to deal with it after prostitute scandal.

I remember one of his early websites was decorated with a color scheme and iconography reminiscent of some white nationalist groups.

for making threats against the president.

I think he hit his stride with the Amboy Dukes and has been playing the same riff over and over again which of course, makes him the prototypical musician for the one trick pony known as the GOP...

"Who’s left? Pretty sad it’s tough to come up with a list of brave Americans.

Would it be paranoid to suggest that Members of The Free Republic could be under scrutiny from the 0bama regime? " How do you come up with shit like this? How?

brain cells doesn't make him any less of a coward." a quote of a co-worker of mine, former Green Beret and all around outdoorsman. "Ted won't mess with anything that is capable of fighting back. Put him and me in the backwoods , him with all his weapons and gear, me with nothing but a knife. Within no time, I'll have him face down in the mud with that knife poised on the base of his skull and he won't even have ever seen my face."

I've been in the woods with this guy and I believe his every word.

He threatened the President for God's sake.

And he said "We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November."

That's awfully extreme. But I still see it as protected political free speech.

He's the one who pooped in his pants for a week to avoid going to Vietnam.

Not only is this guy nuts, he's another chickenhawk pretender. He had a chance to shoot all the people he wanted in Vietnam but like Dubya/Cheney and their crowd did everything he could to dodge going to SE Asia.

Where is all the MSN coverage of Ted's rant? They couldn't get enough of Hillary Rosen. There's that "liberal bias" cretins like Bernie Goldberg like to crow about.

What remains so baffling to me is how so many people let themselves get manipulated to carry water for billionaires and nutzoid crackpots like Nugent......and thus continually vote directly against their own self interests.

He shouldn't even be given this attention.

No one values his opinion

What. An. Asshole.

And notice how nobody in the Reich Wing dares denounce his vitriolic spew.

I'd like to see who's the first....

Nugent, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will be either
be dead or in jail by this time next year."

and casting my vote for Obama this fall, this episode in particular completely wiped that away! I will be there on the first day of early voting with bells on, casting my "spell of death"!

is a great example of the type of low-lifes attracted to the Republiclown party

It's because he's a chickenshit, loudmouth, who can't back up his beliefs with action. When the Marines came looking....nugent was hiding......because he's a coward. I understand not wanting to go to any war....but to be such a self-described gun nut and bad ass.....it seems to me if it weren't for his lack of a spine, and blatant hypocrisy, I might have stumbled across him in VietNam.....but he was a no-show...as his kind always are....Cheney...Bush....etc etc. I don't want to offend those that do not want to join the military....just want to show nugent as the Uber Maniac he is....he's a little man with a big mouth....fuck you ted nugent...

Nugent has no credibility on this: he's a blowhard. It's more likely that someone listening would try something than he would.

It's not a dog whistle. He practically invites anyone in earshot to take up arms against this president, to "kill the cayote". The thing is, though, is that Nugent himself is completely not credible as a potential threatener. Though he says he'll be dead or in prison, in reality we all know he will do nothing, just like he did when he had the chance to fight in a war he supported.

Pretty sure, though, that if someone on the left had said this to an audience of gun owners in the Bush era, they would already have been waterboarded.

The Secret Service has to say they will look at this, but look at what they actually said: they are investigating whether to investigate. They know it's Ted Nugent. They would probably do better to investigate the other people at the convention at random.

What ought to be more concerning is the Romney campaign's embrace of Nugent. Do they not know who he is, and the sort of bombs he likes to throw? This isn't someone who "palled around with" someone 20 years ago: this is someone who endorses, a campagin that welcomes it, and then this immediate acceleration into hyperbolic, violent rhetoric. Their flaccid denial isn't enough: they need to denounce and refudiate.

He also said some pretty disturbing things about Hillary and Obama during the last primaries. The guy is a total jerk.
