Nugent Strikes Offensive Chord at Gov’s Bash

[struggle4progress]

... Witness the case of Republican Texas Governor Rick Perry whose term got off to an unfortunate start when he invited the fanatical right-wing rocker to help celebrate the start of his second term in office. Oops!

According to witnesses (apparently none of whom were savvy enough to get some video) Nugent’s presentation featured machine-gun props, a sleeveless Confederate flag t-shirt, and lots of “offensive remarks about non-English speakers” ...

The governor’s spokesman, Robert Black, has been buried in Def-Con damage control ever since. “Ted Nugent is a good friend of the governor’s,” Black admitted. “He asked him if he would play at the inaugural. He didn’t put any stipulation of what he would play.”

You mean he didn’t ask him not to dress as a monster truck enthusiast and spout racist slurs while armed? ...

3. They are complaining? Or bragging?

I am not sure. Sounds like he gave the audience just what they expected.
