Ted Nugent and His Death Threat Against the President of the United States

That's not passion for politics.

That was something else. It was something between a call for violence against a sitting President of the United States of America, and violent rhetorical moment against the backdrop of an already overly armed group of men, as they soak their brains into all things Weaponized for the weekend.

Not passion at all, IMO. A total lack of self-control, absolutely. The demonstration of a bit of mental neuronal decay, no doubt. But, political passion? I don't think so. I believe that if Mr. Nugent, could make it happen, he would make it happen himself (if he could get away with it).

So, what does he do instead? Simple.

He blurts it out there because he knows he can't make it happen personally, but he also knows that he can quite possibly influence someone with a mind that is less stable than his own. That's what I believe Nugent, calls himself doing and that same kind of irresponsible behavior has been coming out of the Republican Party, ever since it looked like a Black Man had a really good chance of becoming the next President of the United States, back in 2008. So, ever since then, we've been hearing racist commentary from Newt Gingrich, all the way down to this lady:



So, while John McCain, was forced to demonstrate some courage in front of the kind of people who supported him and had such racist attitudes toward Obama, that poor old lady most likely went home highly confused. Why? Because, everything leading up to that opportunity she had to get in front of that microphone, was telling her that Obama was an Arab, and all Arabs are not to be trusted. Now, where did that precious little old lady get that notion? She got it straight from the Republican Party, that's where.
 
I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Nugent. I am always a bit leary around those who talk of themselves in 3rd person.

It's sorta like Barbara Striesand. She too, needs to shut up and sing. I don't give a damn about their dumbass political views.

Really?

You are a classic old model, I'll give you that much credit.
 
Maybe I'm a little too young but.... what is... Ted Nugent famous for? The guy doesn't seem to have been relevant in his field in 30 years. If Dave Grohl or Jack White had said this I'd probably care but who the **** is Ted Nugent?

Ted Nugent is pond scum. The only way he will meet anyone is if he is armed to the teeth and a defenseless animal. People fight back. Animals run. And he chases.

The day it's announced he kicked off is the day I'll do a dance jig.

that's more about you and your taste in music than it is about Ted.

I have great taste in music. I just don't listen to people who weren't relevant when they were in their prime and are now known more for their politics than their music. Pink Floyd? I couldn't name a single political stance they have that isn't in their music. Ted Nugent? Don't hear about the guy outside of politics. Has he released any good albums lately?

.. he does, however, sweat.. like a whore in church

i worked security for a concert of his back in the early 90's.. 20 feet from the guy all night and even i came away drenched in his sweat... kinda gross, but he wasn't as bad as Lemmy .. who not only sweated profusely, but stunk to high heaven.

I'm a pro guitar player and to be good, you have to listen or pay attention to all kinds of riffs, styles, etc

Political stances mean squat in pro guitar playing
 
Perhaps Ted was just trying to say that if Obama gets re-elected that it will be a free-for-all and dog-eat-dog world because of the continuing stranglehold on the economy. And just what the doctor ordered for the country is Mitt Romney even though he is a Damn Yankee.

You should know by now that any negative comments towards The One are going to blown out of proportion like 23 mother ****ers.

Really?

Do you have a Mother? Ok, lets assume you do have a Mother. Let's also assume that President Obama, has two daughters (very cute daughters by the way). So, let's assume that they have a Father, because that just makes good common sense. Are you still keeping up? Good, let's continue.

Now, let's assume that your Mother was President of the United States. Let's further assume that I was 1960's former Rock Wannabe Reject from the music industry, turned John Wayne, on the NRA "Don't Forget the 2nd Amendment Tour" Convention. Let's also assume that the NRA gave me the microphone for a period of time.

All of a sudden, I rip into your Mother - both UP and DOWN. I call your Mother a disgusting, hate filled enemy of the United States. I then turn to the audience and tell them that if your Mother is found anywhere within a 10 block radius of where I work, that either I was going to end up dead, or that I would be going to jail that day.

At some other point, I got up on some stage in some town, somewhere in America with lots of screaming Black People who were following my every word as I told them that I wanted your Mother to suck on this - while holding up my NRA Certified "Machine Gun." I then tell the same boisterous crowd of adoring Blacks that I your Mother was a "Punk" and a "Bitch." (see video below for authentication)



Now, here's my question for you. After I did that towards your very own Mother, the Woman who gave birth to you and the Woman who gave you life, would you think that my words were being "taken out of context?"

Big fan of Roy Buchanan over here. I made it a point to buy most of his albums.

well, i'm an avid fan of Ted's music
everybody believes they have good taste in music... you'll never hear anyone say " man, my taste in music sucks!" :lol:

his last studio album came out in 07.. his last live album came in in 09
he's done over 6,000 concerts and has been rockin' since long before you were born.... he started rocking probably around the time your parents were started to feel hormones kickin' in.. and he's still goin, like an energizer bunny with a guitar.
he has over 30 records in his time.

anyway, he might be irrelevant to you, and that's fine... but to say he is irrelevant is simply false, and millions and millions of fans agree with me.

he's not a pop star, for sure...but his career, unlike the vast majority of music "stars", has legs.

Anyone here familiar with the term "symbolism"? ;)

Btw- Uncle Ted's a riot. :lol: I'd let him watch my back any day of the week. :)

Right up until the point where hes no longer there to watch your back. Then who does it for you?

I don't think most folks feel the same way about a President as they do their own mother.

i would have said nobody fells the same, but i'm not sure that's true anymore.
