Related: About this forumNRA Board Member Ted Nugent Calls Black Man A "Mongrelboy"
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by krispos42 (a host of the Gun Control & RKBA group).
Although Nugent is a columnist for several conservative and hunting outlets -- most notably, the conspiracy website WND -- he has been increasingly turning to Facebook to promote his pro-gun agenda. During his many media appearances, Nugent routinely brags about his impact on Facebook, declaring that his page is more popular than those of recording artists Taylor Swift and Beyoncé -- something that's not even close to being true.
And more and more, Nugent's social media pro-gun advocacy has been accompanied by racially inflammatory attacks.
In an August 18 post, Nugent made a typical appeal for people to join two groups whose boards he has served on: the NRA and the Crime Prevention Research Center, a pro-gun group run by discredited gun researcher John Lott. After urging his supporters to sign up as members to both, Nugent engaged with commenters, attacking one critic with a racial slur.

(17,502 posts)boor that makes Trump look genteel. Ever read the lyrics to the song in Earache My Eye? Cheech was parodying "musicians" like Nugent.
and I only know three cords, hahahaha.
Is the point guilt by association? Can we say Leland Yee, or Bloomberg's racist remarks at the Aspen Institute?
