Gun Nut Nugent Demands Governor Visit
One wonders why ANYONE would want to associate with a racist turd like Nugent...


"Ted Nugent says Gov. Rod Blagojevich is more than welcome to visit him backstage before his Aug. 11 performance at the Illinois State Fair.
The rocker and gun-rights advocate, known for the song "Cat Scratch Fever," is itching to tell Blagojevich how much he dislikes Illinois' gun laws.
"I challenge him to come backstage," Nugent told The (Springfield) State Journal-Register. "And let's talk 'We the people,' let's talk good over evil, let's talk laws forcing good people to be unarmed and helpless."

Let's talk has-been rock stars with serious mental problems...

1. Racist?
Granted, Ted is conservative and pro-gun, but why do you call him racist?

2. Where have you been?
"Derogatory racial remarks earned Ted Nugent the boot from the Muskegon Summer Celebration in Muskegon, Mich., which runs in late June and early July. Festival officials, after discussing the situation with community leaders, canceled his appearance following a live radio interview Nugent did on May 5 with Denver radio station KRFX-FM. Morning talk-show hosts Rick Lewis and Michael Floorwax cut the interview short when Nugent used racial slurs in reference to Asians and African Americans."

Nor is this a recent development...Nugent is just one of the nutcases who make up the NRA board who spout racist rubbish publicly....

5. Racist Comment
Thanks for the link & quote. Of course, this is still someone's opinion that what he said is racist. I would prefer to see a quote of what he said, and decide for myself whether or not it was a racist coment.

"If you're not gonna speak English, get the f*ck out of America." He wore a shirt emblazoned with the Confederate flag at the time of his incendiary invective, by the way.

Okay pro-NRA people...aren't you just a little bothered by the fact that this man is helping to run the show at an organization that claims it only wants to protect RKBA?

11. Hell on an earlier thread
I had a bunch of these gun nuts trying to spin away the "bone on the nose" as NOT racist.

This is exactly the sort of thug that is the gun lobby...

12. Love to See
I'd love to see the mental gymnastics that it required to explain away the "bone" quote.

3. Chicken Hawk Rock SUCKS
Just another gung ho Vietnam Vet age right winger who didn't serve his country. If you go to his site, http://tednugent.com/ he has at the top center a graphic of him leading the troops. He is standing on Saddam's dead body, after just having stabbed him with an American flag on a spear.

I bet if he was in Iraq right now he would be peeing in his pants. It's easy to be brave when you are shooting animals who can't shoot back (he is an avid and annoyingly smug outspoken hunter) but when you are in the 115 degree heat getting shot at, it takes some guts.

4. He crapped his pants
so the Army wouldn't take him....

He's hell, though, on stuff that can't shoot back...what a piece of shit he is.

And he's one of the saner members of the NRA board!
