AUSTIN – The House Mexican-American Legislative Caucus sent Gov. Rick Perry a letter on Friday demanding that he apologize for Ted Nugent's inaugural ball performance, which it called divisive and offensive.
Some who attended the ball last week said Mr. Nugent made comments about non-English speakers. They also complained that he wore a Confederate battle flag shirt and incorporated guns in his show.
Ted Nugent has denied making racially insensitive remarks at the performance.

7. This is not the first time Nugent has done this. He did the same thing

in San Antonio back in 2000. "If you can't speak English, get the fuck out of America."

Weeks later he gets on teevee and says he's "not a racist" citing the fact that one of his band members is hispanic. :puke:

8. Ted Nugent is low class

Perry is for inviting him. The GOP is all about division.

9. Agreed.

I have no doubt he said it.
And I have no doubt that Perry endorsed it.
