Ted Nugent says the GOP has “no balls” and then bleats like a sheep

He also busts out one of his favorite rhetorical devices: Comparing people to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels

ELIAS ISQUITH

All-around nice guy Ted Nugent, who is totally not an unhinged racist, joined Denver talk-radio host Peter Boyles on Monday to discuss politics and, especially, how Nugent explains the problems with today’s GOP.

“What happened to the Republican Party?” Boyles asked Nugent. “Someone extracted their scrotum with a rusty shiv,” was Nugent’s considered reply. “They have no balls. I don’t know where this ‘Let’s be Mr. Rogers with a Lawrence Welk soundtrack tie adjusting’ mantra came from, but my god! If there’s a life-support system attached to the GOP, it’s flat-lining,” he continued.

Nugent wasn’t done there, though. He went on to describe the U.S. media as “basically Joseph Goebbels’ propaganda ministry” and to warn that the country was “being flushed down the toilet, certainly for the last fifteen or twenty years.” (That’s a long time to be being flushed!) And then he started bleating like a sheep, explaining that that’s how he views the American people.

but who the hell did his makeup? There's some pink spots and some Boehner Orange ones, and his neck is a completely different color. It's like he has vitiligo but they don't have anything strong enough to cover it up. It makes him look even more unhinged than he already is.

isn't the nuge the one who did all he could to avoid the draft and service in Vietnam??

Why, yes he did.

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/ted-nugent-draft-dodger-467132

In interviews, Nugent has provided varying accounts of how he avoided a seat on a troop transport to Southeast Asia. In a 1977 High Times interview, he claimed to have stopped bathing a month before his draft physical, adding that he showed up for the exam with pants “crusted” with urine and feces. “I was a walking, talking hunk of human poop,” recalled Nugent.

Ugh, what a disgusting waste of oxygen he is.

What a giant piece of excrement. The guy needs to be put in an asylum and the keys thrown away. The hate and bile coming out if his mouth shows he is unstable and unhinged.
