certainly the pro-gun crowd can pick a better spokes person... ole ted gives batspit crazy a new meaning.

 

Ted Nugent, the gun-loving, bow-hunting rocker whose staunch defense of Second Amendment rights and inflammatory insults of President Obama have made him a hero with many conservatives, will attend the president’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

Mr. Nugent, who is also a National Rifle Association board member, will be a guest of Representative Steve Stockman, a Texas Republican who recently made headlines by threatening to file articles of impeachment against Mr. Obama if the president issued executive orders that strengthened gun control laws.

In a telephone interview from his ranch in Texas on Monday, Mr. Nugent said that he planned to sit in the House of Representatives gallery during the president’s speech and that he would hold a news conference afterward, an event that seemed likely to turn the decorous setting of the State of the Union into a tabloid spectacle.

But Mr. Nugent, an avid hunter and gun collector who once flirted with running for governor of Michigan, insisted that he would be on his best behavior.

“I will be there with a deep, abiding respect for the office of the presidency,” he said. “I’m not here to represent any specific cause other than freedom and independence and ‘we the people.’ ”

To illustrate his point, he noted that he would not be carrying any weapons as he usually does.

“I will go in at least 20 pounds lighter than I normally walk,” he said. “I will be going in sans the hardware store on my belt. I live a well-armed life, and I’ve got to demilitarize before I go.”

Mr. Stockman’s office released a statement saying that Mr. Nugent “speaks for millions of Americans who understand how the Second Amendment protects freedom and stops crime.”

But Mr. Nugent’s presence on Tuesday seemed likely to inflame emotions around the delicate issue of gun safety, in addition to raising some other concerns.

The House gallery will be filled with people affected by gun violence. Led by Representative Jim Langevin of Rhode Island, who was accidentally shot and paralyzed as a teenager, about 20 members of Congress have given away their gallery tickets to relatives and friends of people who died in a violent episode involving a gun.

Mr. Nugent also has a history of making provocative, even threatening, remarks about the president. Last year, speaking at an N.R.A. conference, he said that he would either be “dead or in jail” if Mr. Obama was re-elected.

Mr. Nugent said Monday that he had not discussed his appearance at the State of the Union with anyone at the rifle association.

A spokesman for the United States Capitol Police indicated Monday that they would not interfere. “It is at the member of Congress or senator’s discretion who receives a ticket from their respective office,” said the spokesman, Shennell Antrobus. “Invited ticketholders with proper photo identification will be allowed into the event.”

Let's see if he is a liar or not. With any luck, we won't have to put up with this nut much longer.

Either route will get us rid of this blabbermouth, knee-jerk, game law-violating scumbag.

 

Ted has an extensive record of using his Second Amendment rights to illegally take game.

 

<<<<On Friday, following a plea deal with the Yuba County district attorney, Nugent pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors in Yuba Superior Court: illegally baiting a deer, and failing to have a deer tag signed by a government official after a kill.
Nugent did not appear in court. He was represented by Yuba City attorney Jack Kopp, who did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. The 61-year-old rocker, who lives in China Springs, Texas, was penalized with a $1,750 fine.>>>>

 In April 2012 Nugent signed a plea bargaining agreement to plead guilty to two misdemeanors for illegally taking a bear after shooting one earlier at a bait station. He will be fined $10,000, banned from hunting in Alaska and on Federal land for one year and must complete two years on federal probation.

Nugent has been and might still be, a member of the NRA Board of Directors.  Here is a not-so-little profile of him prepared as assistance to those seeking detailed information on where certain board members are coming from.  Nugent appears to have come from some place near Mars:

Hard to believe that this confirmed cretin occupies a place of esteem in the hearts of many wing nuts, but that seems to be the case!

As usually the left has taken a right winger out of context. He was saying that the POTUS would have him in jail or killed for speaking out.

 

Maybe if Ted had a song with these lyrics: (the word freak is used instead of the real word that rhymes with luck)

 

“Kill those freaking Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives; Kill those freaking Yankees who ordered them to torture; Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-laws and fathers; Kill them all slowly and painfully”.

 

Maybe our POTUS would have entertained Ted at the White House like he did Psy.

However you interpret the remarks of Nugent, they are absurd.  The notion (which you offer as an alternative interpretation) that the President, if re-elected, would arrange for the imprisonment or killing of Ted Nugent is preposterous.  So pick your interpretation, if you will, but be advised that yours is about as silly as you could get.

If "Sportsman" Ted commits any more game law violations, he might well go to jail. Given his documented record of game law violations, the courts might decide to give him a little vacation in the graystone hotel the next time he exhibits his talents as a "slob hunter."

Only thing silly is how you lefties twist things around to attempt to make a righty look bad. Again, Ted was saying if reelected, our POTUS would put him in jail or kill him for speaking out. Of course Ted didn’t threaten the POTUS……..you just want people to believe that.

 

But a rapper that sings about killing innocent Americans is honored by the POTUS.

We all know just how measured and temperate Nugent is in his remarks about the President:

 

<<< Nugent -- the proud gun-owner, poorly coiffed Michigander, and washed-up rocker -- has said some silly and offensive things in the past, and not just while performing "Cat Scratch Fever." In 2007, he said the following during a concert: "Obama, he's a piece of **it.   I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary [Clinton], you might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bi*ch.">>>

If only all the lefty loonies that had said they'd leave the country if Bush was elected, had actually done that, it would be a much better country. Yes tender, another case of "so's yer old man". And, as jobe pointed out, a pos like this PSY-park jae-sang, that called for the murder of americans, is not only honored by the left, but companies are putting him in commercials and on american tv.

Oh, come on, Captain Cretin. Of course one can dredge up scandal on someone of a political persuasion different from that of the actual subject being discussed, but we are discussing not Bill Clinton, but Ted Nugent.  Serving up the litany of offenses proven or alleged against Clinton or any other Democrat does nothing to moderate the egregiousness of Ted Nugent's statements or actions.

 

Grow up.
