“I believe that every bowl of tofu is responsible for the death of billions of things.”
Yep, it's Ted Nugent time!

http://www.examiner.com/x-29556-Vegetarian-Culture-Examiner~y2009m12d30-Animal-rights-will-compel-Ted-Nugent-to-slaughter-more-in-2010

“I have unlimited deer tags in Michigan and Texas, and I don’t even need to kill them really, but I’m going to for Bill Maher. I’m not just killing them I’m f*cking slaughtering them and I’m going to gut them and skin them, quarter them and butcher them and feed them to the soup kitchen and homeless shelters of America. Not because I need to, because it will cause Bill Maher to sh*t blood. That’s my goal in life.”

When asked to expand upon his dislike for Bill Maher, Nugent described how he plans to scrape the remains of dead vermin off the soles of his boots and onto Maher’s desk. “I’m stymied to come up with anything funnier than people who think animals have rights. Just stick an arrow through their lungs.”

Nugent continued his rant by elucidating his belief that tofu manufacturing and consumption are more destructive than hunting and meat-eating. “I believe that every bowl of tofu is responsible for the death of billions of things.”

The Royal Flush phone interview concluded with the rocker’s belief that President Barack Obama is a communist who should be jailed, those who don’t see the beauty in hunting are retarded, Rolling Stone Magazine’s publisher Jann Wenner should die, and cartoon animals should be afforded animal rights.


Next time we hear someone expounding the Nugent philosophy ("Every time I hear about this I'll eat another burger," "Vegetable farming is destructive!") we can remind them just who they're siding with.

1. What a good point! Siding with
a coward that shit his pants for a month so he wouldn't have to serve his country. See, when it came time to shoot at another animal that shoots back, all he could do is shit his pants.

That's brilliant. I love it!

3. Also agreeing with "Barack Obama is a communist who should be jailed"
should be worth extra points.

2. "Soy is worse for the environment than beef!"
"Almost everyone is allergic to wheat gluten!"
"Tofu is full of processed chemicals!"

Yes, I'd say they're in good company, indeed. :eyes:

Once upon a time we talked about making up bingo cards for these...

7. Of course, don't forget who HSUS is siding with:
Rush Limbaugh. After doing PSAs for the anti-hunting Humane Society of the United States, Rush earned Field & Stream's 2009 "Villain of the Year." The editors noted that "Rush called HSUS's plan to enlist churches in its agenda 'positive' for American values."

Perhaps someone should tell Nugent about Limbaugh's soft heart for "the animal realm." Let them have a little division, you know?

9. It's okay...
I always remember that just because someone is with me on a certain issue does not mean I have to like them or agree with them on anything else.

To wit, Rick Santorum had the most positive voting record on animal abuse legislation of any US Senator over their Senate career in the past 30 years...Rick Santorum is still an asshead who keeps his dead infant son pickled in a jar, thinks gay people should be second class citizens and that women have less rights than men and no autonomy over their own bodies in reproductive matters.

10. HSUS isn't siding with Limbaugh; he's siding with them.
HSUS isn't agreeing with or expounding Limbaugh's madness.

DUers who agree with and expound nutbar Nugent's madness are siding with him.

See the difference?
