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

R. Shackleferd said:
Hopefully never. I don't find anything particularly wrong with it. His empty threats are about as serious as all the threats against Bush were.

Really? Mike Huckabee, seems to think that Ted Nugent, should run for President:

Sure it's ok.

Wow! That surprises me - why am I surprised by that allowance. See, I would have thought that given the discussion that is still swirling (even on this board) about how a President should never "pal around with terrorists," that pal'ing around with potential Presidential Assassins would not be something high on the list for Republicans to actually want to do?

Alright, so you beat Ted Nugent at soccer and he is globally shamed and less of a man now. I bet that won't stop him from continuing his rhetoric and it won't stop the people who liked him before the game to continue to like him afterwards.

Cleaver, and hilarious!

However, we are talking American Football, here. Not that I have anything against, "bending it like Beckham" through Nugent's left nostril - if that one is still open, given all the dope that probably went up that pathway, no doubt.

Well...that's not very hard, when it comes to The One. :rofl

I'm waiting for some chump like Maxine Waters, or Sheila Jackson Lee to introduce a bill that makes it illegal to criticize The One.

What a joke__You sound very much like a Bob Beckel wannabe.

Ted Nugent would totally annihilate you on any field of battle.

And you've demonstrated "what a real genuine punk looks like".

If I had a dime for every wannabe like you that got carried off the field because their father told them to go play football, I'd be more wealthy than Mitt Romney, himself.

You can take Nugen't place if you want and learn what it means to man-up under the force 125 g's impulse on top of your dome. O' clueless one.
 
I didn't even finish the first sentence. A centrist, the OP is not. Dismissed.

Anyway, I find TN to be absolutely fascinating... don't read that as me agreeing or disagreeing with him... from a distance. But, he strikes me that he'd be a total a-hole in person. I have some in-laws who live in Michigan, and they have not met him themselves, but friends of their's who have met him pretty much agree he is an a-hole.

By the way, I watched the Ted Nugent video and suggest everybody do the same__I love his political passion.

I don't know - is that really passion, or unbridled ignorance? Is there really a difference in Ted's case? I mean, does he actually delineate the two in his own mind?

I'm just trying to think of somebody in the middle, like a real Independent, who thinks, talks and behaves like that with a microphone in front of his lips and about 1,500 weapons at his disposal. Might a wild voice in the wilderness, strike some kind of mental frailty in someone less stable minded than Ted (if it is possible to be less stable minded than Ted), causing that particular individual to attempt to act out on what Uncle Teddy, is suggesting in his underlying tone and tenor?

I forgot who it was on here but they brought up NDAA that to me that sounds like the most probable context. But even if Ted Nugent did mean "lol I'm gonna kill obama lol" I would not take it seriously because he says a lot of silly stuff all the time. It's also a part of his gimmick. It's like making a post where the Insane Clown Posse talk about stabbing the president.

Another thing is, is that I am very permissive about a lot of stuff like this. I find that a lot of the image and association of candidates is quite immaterial to how they'd run the state.

Clever, and hilarious!

Thanks. I think a game of rugby that allows obstruction is the best football game to test toughness.

I think his threat was veiled enough that he won't have secret service agents (if any are left standing at this point) at his door, but plain enough to get the message across: "If Barack Obama wins in November, I will either be dead or in jail this time next year." What a pissing hunk of crap this dude is. "America will become a suburb of Indonesia." I mean, WTF? Who is this flame-bait tosser? What a jerk.
Click to expand...

Well, in all honesty, it was the Indonesia line that got me thinking: "Is this guy high on meth?" Then, I started thinking: "Wait a minute - Is this guy high on Meth at an NRA Convention! Then I started thinking to myself: "Oh, gee. There goes freedom."

- Attending an NRA convention is one thing
- Being high while attending an NRA convention is another thing

However, being high at an NRA convention and making veiled threats towards the President with a mic in front of your mouth, says something completely other worldly about the individual.

Oh for God's sake. Ted Nugent is an entertainer, and he's prone to eccentricity. He lives in a virtual wilderness, he kills his own food, and he a strong gun rights activist. You guys could probably benefit a little from learning to get in touch with the earth a little, and find out where your food really comes from. Ted's a gem in the rough, and he's probably more sane in reality, than most. Don't be scared by his flair or his bravado. Get a grip.

Having spend 3.25 years in the NFL? Yes, I do.

Now, can you think of a better way to prove toughness, other than the eight (8) years I spend in the military?

What triggered Timothy McVeigh? What was the very last thing that Tim, heard go through his ears before I decided in his won mind that he was going design a really big explosion, designed to kill people and damage property?

That's the whole point, if somebody is already on the edge of sanity, and you get an NRA MC on the microphone, higher than a kite and willing to say anything damn thing - no matter how stupid it might sound to a sane person, it just might be enough to send someone one ham sandwich short of a picnic, over the edge to commit the insinuation being uttered.

How close does this get to yelling *FIRE* in the proverbial movie theater? Keep in mind, we are talking about the Presidency of the United States. A Democrat today, but it could be a Republican tomorrow - ya never know these things. Of course, if you are part of the Voting Machine down in Florida, then surely you know these things before they happen, no doubt. ;)

Give me a chance to go do some homework on the name. You hit me with a curve ball.
 
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.
 
Am I the only one who interpreted it as being, "I'm pro-gun, he is not, therefore if I have a gun, I am arrested, or they will kill me."? Really, Ted has been off his rocker for a very long time, and this was a dumb, dumb comment, but this I'm not compelled to believe it was much anything else.
 
PW4000 said:


This total loser slithered his way off his insanely terminal rock dust music career, and brought his completely delusional antics into the political arena via another NRA convention. He also has given Mitt Romney, his obvious endorsement along with Kid Rock. I think it was Mitt Romney's son who tweeted to his father about how fortunate they were to have been endorsed by Ted Nugent.

So, here are my questions:

1)

At what point does Mitt Romney, after publicly agreeing with his own son that the endorsement from Ted Nugent, was a good thing, at least acknowledge that what Ted Nugent, said at the NRA convention was a bad thing for the country as a whole?


2)

Is it now "ok" for Democrats to make the assertion that Mitt Romney, is happy to have the support of potential Presidential Assassins, if he (Mitt) fails to go public with some kind of statement that acknowledges what Ted Nugent, has stated is just a whisker short of a threat of violence against the President of the United States?

Lastly, I'd really like to get tough guys like Ted Nugent, on a football field - so we could find where the real "punks" like to hang out. I've always looked at football, as the great equalizer and a real genuine Punk Detector. Ted Nugent, likes to call people a "punk," when he does not approve of them.

I'll put this call to action out to Ted Nugent, that anytime he so desires, he can meet me man-to-man on the 50 yard line of any football field of his choice. And, we will learn on that day, what a real genuine "punk" looks like from the inside out.

Football is a great way to find out where the real tough guys live, Mr. Ted "ToughGuy" Nugent.

I like Ted Nugent. We should be friends. :)

Ok, I was never a listener to Air America, so I had difficulty with the name. After further review, I have concluded a few things:


- Randi Rhodes, is better looking than Ann Coulter.
- Stephani Miller, is slightly less good looking than Randi Rhodes, slightly better looking that Ann Coulter, and a lot funnier than both.
- Randi Rhodes, did have a lucid point to make about Sarah Palin, but Sarah Palin, is better looking than Randi Rhodes.
- I would pay cold cash money to see Randi Rhodes -vs- Ann Coulter, during a one hour political debate.

I was not able to hear the comments that you attribute to Randi. However, I did check into some of the things that she has said and I could definitely see the possibility for placing Randi, into the "Nugent Category," but until I come up with something as potentially harmful - especially to the President, I'll have to defer my judgement on Randi.

Randi Rhodes, strikes me a vulgar - somewhat cute, but vulgar nonetheless. Nugent, is in a different category altogether, IMO. His comments were not merely vulgarities, they could easily be taken for an intended attack on the President and that is quite a different thing altogether.

More Randi Rhodes, on Black People and Speaking English "Correctly":
 
Ted Nugent is a hemorrhoid in the body politic.

That's not the point. Did you see the crowd applauding his "Death or Jail" comment?

That's my point. How many close-to-deranged-lunatics, who were just one pickle sandwich away from their necessary "triggering moment," who were in attendance at this particular NRA convention, standing and applauding this toaster oven as he spoke? That's the point.

It is really not about Nugent, at all.

He isn't a passive supporter of the military or conservative positions, he's a very vocal, out there, public figure. I'm sure he's taken heat and lost gigs and money as a result. He's spent money in support of the military and conservative causes.

Very down to earth

He can be all of that, but without sounding like an idiot.

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. :)

More specifically Ted used an idiom to compare stopping tyranny in its tracks to defeating Obama in November. However, I agree his energy and zeal probably got the best of him and he could have chosen his words a little wiser.

By maybe saying something a little more inflammatory... :lamo
