Military Cancels Ted Nugent Performance Citing Violent Rhetoric About Obama

I think Ted Nugent is an interesting character and I like some of his music but that is pretty much where it ends. Anyways, there is nothing stopping him from going down the road to a venue of some kind and putting on a concert for the troops there. I don't see what the big deal is.
 
I don't give a flat **** what you remember or what lil dance you want to dance... your political bull**** is indistinguishable from Ted's political bull****.

translation: do not confuse me with reality.
 
Uh...that's what they did here. :lamo

Actually you are confusing government involvement in helping him perform there with leaving this completely to the private sector and having them attend that show.
 
Nugent didn't call for Obama to be killed, instead he threatened to do it himself and that is why he had an interview in the first place.

Nah, it was probably more like:

Nugent to Secret Service: Yes sir,... uh no sir,...I'm sorry sir,...I really didn't mean it sir, .... pleeeeaze sir, please don't arrest me I got kids to support, <real tears start flowing> PLEEEEZE I'm beggin....have pity,.... <****s himself> PLEEEZE I promise, I'll never threaten Obama again < on knees sobbing> plllllleeeeezzze have mercy on meeee, I I I didn't know what I was sayin, <praying> I, I, love Obama, really, I was just foolin, please, please, I promise I won't do it again...... what? You're going to let me go? <wipes tears> Really? Oh thank you sirs, really thank you thank you. I love you guys. <hugs Secret Service agent and they leave> Phew, that was close.

That really put a smile on my face. Well done. :lol::mrgreen::lamo
 
yes, that is really what I thought. There are some serious Obama-haters in this country.


Nothing . . . . . I repeat . . . . . nothing I posted alluded to anything like your vile, common post to me. Asking me - "are you calling for the lynching of President Obama?", on a public debate site, was beyond low.

Show me ONE post, on this thread, where I have said I hate President Obama. Just ONE. Hell go through the whole da*n website and find just ONE where I said I hated the president.

What you are is pissed off about is I didn't agree with your over the top rhetoric about Ted Nugent. I can only hope that if your arse is ever put on trial, you have a group of jurors like yourself who has already convicted you on "hearsay" and "personal opinion" without benefit of evidence or trial.
 
Ted Nugent is ready to fight to the death to protect our constitutional rights.
LOL....Theodore in one story claimed he covered himself in human waste to get a 4-F, another time claimed he used crystal meth to get the 4-F ...whatever the case, he is a draft dodger and always will be.

snopes.com: Ted Nugent Dodged the Draft?
 
violent rhetoric is one thing, threatening the commander in chief is another. If the military doesn't respect the commander in chief then we have a big problem.

There's a problem, then, because our service members don't respect Obama.

It isn't that they don't respect him as president, just a majority of military don't like his political views:

Total Military Recruits: Army, Navy, Air Force statistics - states compared - Military data on StateMaster

If you look at the link out of the top ten states by sign ups, 6 of the ten could be considered red states with Texas leading the pack by far. It isn't that the military as a whole don't like the president, it's just that many service members have conservative values by default.
 
Ted Nugent is ready to fight to the death to protect our constitutional rights. What have you done for our country, lately?

Interesting, because he wasn't that terribly interested when Vietnam came around. By the way, you seem to have trouble understanding freedom of speech. Having freedom of speech doesn't protect you against potential consequences that your words have. Just like, I can't go to my boss and tell him to go **** himself and expect to keep my job. I had a right to say what I did, absolutely, but by firing me he hasn't violated my freedom of speech. Actions have consequences. Deal with it.

Freedom of speech protects your from punishment by the government. The Constitution says that, actually.
 
No problem with them canceling the concert.

As for his original draft evasions ..... when Ted had the chance to man-up consistent with his current loud mouth, he was a wimp. He would have more credibility at anti-war protests. Thems the ropes Teddy.

No it does not, since the courts have determined that you have some protected speech. You do not have carte blanche to say anything you want.

So, freedome of speech is now reserved for only certain people? That say the right things?

I love how Libbos are all for free speech, as long as it's speech they agree with. Nothing new here.

LOL...what?

I'm not going to take my time explaining to you what protected speech is.
 
So the Military is okay with fighting for our freedoms but not with Nugent exercising his Constitutional free speech rights? Got it.

Once again, this has jack to do with the 1st Amendment. Being uninvited to perform at an event is not a violation of anyone's Constitutional free speech rights.
 
Did they ever cancel any performances from musicians or celebrities who threatened or insulted Bush?

Jesus Christ, you don't have a constitutional right to perform at a concert somebody else is throwing. Nugent is welcome to perform at his own event at any time.

I love how conservatives think that everyone else must actively support their beliefs, or else conservative beliefs are being suppressed! Why do you think you have a constitutional right to speak at someone else's event?

I suppose you also think not teaching young-earth creationism in a science classroom is violating the 1st amendment rights of Christians.

It is, when it's the government using it as punishment for political comments made in public.
