Military Cancels Ted Nugent Performance Citing Violent Rhetoric About Obama

The washed-up rocker and Romney endorser said he'll be in jail or dead if the president is reelected. Someone should tell the cowardly pedophile that soiling his panties is neither illegal nor fatal

Thank you for proving my point that the military isn't funding the concert.

They are if they're filling the role of the promoter. No matter who the promoter is, I can't picture a performer of Nugent's level accepting the show if his money isn't guaranteed.
 
My question is why did they invite them in the first place? I mean his persona really hasn't changed that much.

Fight to the death? Nugent? Fight to the death? :lamo

Is this the guy that fought to the death to get into the military when he had the chance?

This is rich!

well, if fight to death would mean locking up the enemy in an enclosed area from which they could not escape, with little or no way to defend themselves and then go after them with far superior weaponry, like a canned armed assault aka high fence armed assault, then yes, Ted Nugent would join that fight.

Is Nugent employed by the government? Did he sign any kind of agreement concerning what he would say publically?

Of course he didn't.

His rights are being abused, just like Juan Williams' right were abused when he was fired from NPR.

His rights are not being abused. He lost half of his audience when he went political. Entertainers should entertain. Using your entertainer fame as a soapbox to influence politics isn't very smart. Ask Natalie Maines.

Nugent certainly has the right to engage in political speech. And I would defend that right. All entertainers have that right regardless if they be on the right or left.

I do not like the political or racial views of Mel Gibson but I feel he makes very good films and look forward to each of them. I am no fan of Kelsey Grammer's politics but love his FRASER show and have watched his BOSS TV series. Angie Harmon is somebody I do not look to for political advice but she is my all time favorite second chair on the Law & Order series. Everything about John Wayne's politics is the opposite of mine - but I love many of his films. The same with Clint Eastwood.

What Nugent does is take right wing politics and amplifies it through rude, crude and lewd behavior. He is simply a buttwipe of the worst sort.

I am going to partially disagree here. As I posted earlier, had Nugent not re-invigorated himself with his political rhetoric, he'd be long-forgotten by all, even those on the right, such as myself. He now occupies a unigue niche of once-rockers who bash liberalism, who also speaks somewhat coherently.

With such as Natalie, they were at the top of their musical popularity when she decided to piss-off half of her followers. That was a far bigger number of music fans lost than political fans gained. With Nugent, the numbers are reversed. He had virtually no music fans to lose, and is now known, and on TV and radio, because of his politics.

But otherwise, I do agree. Just because someone is a successful actor or entertainer does not make them any more astute politically. And as I noted earlier as well, while I can appreciate Nugent's outspokenness simply because I agree with it, his draft-dodging record will always taint him in my eyes, and I believe the eyes of many vets.

I got to where I can't even watch Bill Maher anymore. I used to like him. Even though he is usually spot on with his arrogant cynical approach to reality, he still makes me wanna puke. I would tell Bill Maher to get out of politics and go back to comedy but he isn't even that funny anymore.

I agree with what you have stated. So, if politics is saving Ted's notoriety, and politics is his new gig. Why should anyone care that his guitar playing gig got canceled?

LOL ... because in Nugent's newfound genre, it might have traction as a "freedom of speech" issue ...... and in all truthiness, Ted's career, and income flow, is aided more by this cancellation then had he belted out "Catch Scratch Fever" to a bunch of soldiers who were not born when it was recorded, and can't even hum along.

Don't get me wrong. A part of me likes Ted. But then again, I enjoy cheap beer too. ;)

I have known people like Ted who just have this urge to kill things whether legal or not. Its a strange compulsion to me. Hunting is fine, but cooperate with the rules.

He had another infraction with illegal deer baiting a while back too. He is pretty irresponsible. A gun nut? Maybe. But definitely a nut of some kind.

This is pretty stupid. Did you even read the violation ?

You have no clue what Ted is like. You do not know him. He is not your friend, much less married to such as your sister. But yet you post assumptions about him which clearly show that you did not even read the article before you posted such drivel.

Just more stupid internet ****.

Guilty plea planned in Ted Nugent hunting case


ANCHORAGE, AK -- Rocker and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent pleaded guilty Tuesday to transporting a black bear he illegally killed in Alaska, saying he was sorry for unwittingly violating the law.

It was a misdemeanor.

According to the document, Nugent illegally shot and killed the bear in May 2009 in southeast Alaska after wounding another bear in a bow hunt. The bow incident counted toward a state seasonal limit of one bear. Nugent and his lawyer, Wayne Anthony Ross, said neither of them knew about that law.

The judge said he wasn't aware of the "sort of one-strike policy" either.

All that happened was a mistake.
The judge wasn't even aware it was against the law.

If anything it was a witch-hunt.



Have you ever unwittingly violating the law?
Perhaps by driving faster then the speed limit?

If you have, were you as contrite as he was?

... saying he was sorry for unwittingly violating the law.

"I would never knowingly break any game laws," Nugent told the court. "I'm afraid I was blindsided by this, and I sincerely apologize to everyone for this."

I guess the below misdemeanor would be another witch hunt, in your opinion?



As a hunter, Nugent has run afoul of the law before.

In August 2010, California revoked Nugent's deer hunting license after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of deer-baiting and not having a properly signed tag.
Nugent's loss of that deer hunting license through June 2012 allows 34 other states to revoke the same privilege under the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact. Each state, however, can interpret and enforce the agreement differently.

What spawned from that yes.

That specific incident, no.

It was a misdemeanor. Big deal.

It was a plea bargain to a federal offense where instead of going to prison, Nugent has to pay a $10,000 fine and serve two years of probation, including a special condition that he not hunt or fish in Alaska or on U.S. Forest Service properties for a year. He also agreed to pay the state $600 for the bear he killed. Nugent also used a number of bear-baiting sites on Forest Service land during the Alaska hunt.

Nugent is not a law abiding citizen especially when you consider he's also pedophile sex offender. Heck, he's not even a good NRA member....

Nugent's action violated two of the NRA's Hunter's Code of Ethics, which includes the statements:

•I will obey all game laws and regulations, and will insist that my companions do likewise.

•I will do my best to acquire those marksmanship and hunting skills, which insure clean, sportsmanlike kills.

Nugent should not be allowed to own or possess a gun. Instead, he should be in prison doing time with those who commited far less offenses than he did.

Wrong!
Making mistakes does not make one a bad citizen.

And back up that "pedophile sex offender" claim.
 
There is two sides to every story and one must know that the Ubama Chicago thug mentality is in full force. I've heard him explain all these incidents and they are just after him. He is on Ubama's hit list, just like they are after Gibson Guitar.
