[OmahaBlueDog]

....."I was in Chicago last week and I said hey Obama you might wanna suck on one of these ya punk. (holding up pair of semiautomatic rifles). Obama he's a piece of shit and I told him suck on my machine gun, let's hear it for him! I was in NY and I said hey Hillary Clinton you might wanna ride one these into the sunset you worthless bitch! How about Barbara Boxer she might like to suck on my machine gun! Hey Dianne Feinstein why don't you suck on these you worthless whore! Any questions? .... Freeeeeedom!"

1. That sounds actionable in law to me

That's enough for a threat, especially against the President. He can say he didn't mean it literally, but there's not much there to indicate that. Unless he said something backing off on it.

What a hateful asshole.

[Frank Cannon]

6. I can only imagine what that cowardly little piece of shit would do...

if the guys with crewcuts and earpieces showed up on his doorstep.

[maritimer]

27. He'd poop himself

(edited)

[Raine]

28. H's shit his pants, he's real experienced with doing that nt

x(

[OmahaBlueDog]

10. Obama was a candidate and the Senator from Illinois when the statement was made

..which is why he likely got away with it.

Agreed .. he's a hateful asshole.

For the record, I have nothing against hunters or hunting or gun ownership. Hunt legally within season, don't hunt anything endangered, and don't simply take the head off a trophy animal and leave the carcass to rot. Those are the only tthings I ask.

[ehrnst]

34. If he was muslim or looked muslim, he's be in leg irons for saying that. (nt)

[goodboy]

2. He's a terrorist too. That's his version of a Bin Laden video (nt)

[Urban Prairie]

3. Nugent is a brave hunter when it comes to prey that does not have the same weapons to defend itself

But he is a complete chicken-hawk when/if it comes to perhaps being hunted himself or hunting something that has the ability to shoot back or return fire.

[Kerrytravelers]

4. But when someone goes off and does something, we are the ones who incited them to violence.

Dontcha love the logic? :crazy:

[spanone]

5. he gives sleazy, poorly executed rock music a bad name

[jpak]

7. The Motor City Moran

yup!

[whathehell]

8. The Right talks CONSTANTLY about the Left in terms of Guns and Death

I defy anyone to find a Leftie, however "heated" his or her rhetoric

who has done that in LESS than thirty years five years.

[The Backlash Cometh]

9. On that clip with Roseanne Barr that circulated a couple of days ago,

he also was very pro-Palin.

[fascisthunter]

11. Yes, the Koch Brothers Shill, fooling average Americans

to give the rich more, while keeping less.

[Gregorian]

12. So what rises to a chargeable offence?

This is what I'm trying to discover. Crosshairs, "reload". I mean, if shouting "fire" in a crowded theater is illegal, then what just below shouting "fire" in a crowded theater is also a chargeable offense?

I honestly want to see so many of these people in front of a jury. First Bush for hie illegal invasion, and down the line. We have ten years of catching up to do. But I digress...

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

13. chick hawk Vietnam draft dodger

as well.

Such a role model

[moondust]

14. Nugent was on Anderson Cooper last week.

I think for two nights but maybe just one. I didn't hear what he had to say as I turned the channel.

Maybe just a coincidence.

[PufPuf23]

15. Didn't Ted deliberately shit his pants to get out of the Vietnam draft?

And I liked the Amboy Dukes and the early Nugent albums and liked him at Fillmore West 40+ years ago.

I was anti-war, in the streets of SF and Berkeley, music was part of the political scene (in the streets to a Crosby Stills Nash Young anti-war benefit at Winterland the same day and later getting tear gassed on a high school field trip to UC Berkeley and etc). I was subject to draft (planning non-religious CO but got high draft lottery number so was moot).

I don't think DiFi acts in the interests of the USA I want anymore (and I have voted for her each time possible, was living in Berkeley when Moscone and Milk were married and she became SF Mayor, and have the same advanced degree from the institution as her husband Richard Blum.

Ted Nugent is a sick, sexist, and hypocrite punk regards to politics, guns, hunting, and human decency.

Fuck you Ted Nugent.

19. All hawks are chickens who let others do the fighting

Fony phuckers - the lot of 'em. Too many to retain sometimes, and not restrained at all these days due to the media validation and propagation of their hate.


Thanks for the history. I'll fight again for a while because of this. Hippies were right, huh?

[PufPuf23]

20. Hippies were right in many ways and have shaped USA culture

and innovation disproportionately positive as a subset of the boomers. People compromise for money and fame and return to roots of family often as they age.

I made am odd typo -- too late to edit -- in my above post the Moscone and Milk were murdered not married when DiFi became mayor of SF.

Peace favors 99% of humans and ecology of the planet. War is a worst case, lose-lose proposition for all but less than 1% of humans (who benefit in ego and $) and their ignorant lackeys who think they benefit (and may with luck).

Population reduction is critical unfortunately. Sadly we (all 8 billion or so) could be living in first world comfort and make sensible plans for population reduction given honest brokers in political, military, and business management. The entrenched power and money interests and reality tunnels of most humans do not appear to align for a gradual fix and adjustment to a more balanced and sustanable human civilization and ecology.

I am proud to claim my political sensibilities and discernment began in late 1960s and early 1970s Northern California.

On the other hand I am a dispirited and lack the health and opportunity of youth.

[Raine]

23. Yeah and he kept his own filth in his pant

for weeks so he could take it with him to the draft board. :puke:

[butterfly77]

16. Oh,yes,,

how soon we forget..another POS.

[upi402]

17. There are sooo many, and they feel no restraint

We have to stop these nascent nazis. We have to speak out and act on this immediately.

Do NOT let DUers here silence this by recounting the media meme that this shouldn't be politicized. Or that it was one lone crazy guy.


BS!

[Initech]

18. The secret service needs to pat Cat Scratch Fever a visit.

[Raine]

21. Yea I have a question are you proud being able to reap what

you and your ilk have sown? x( How special to help incite the kind of violence that kills 9 year olds, happy now?

[Hannah Bell]

22. sounds like something a rapist & pedophile would say.

[OmahaBlueDog]

35. Or, as Shrek might ask, do you think he's compensating for something?

perhaps a small.....

[Chorophyll]

24. What a stupid talentless piece of sh*t.

People have been arrested for saying stuff like this. Why not him?

[XanaDUer]

25. Jesus

he needs some help himself.

[Texasgal]

26. This is why there is NO DOUBT

in my mind that the tea party had their hand in this tragedy.

Whether or not the perpetrator was a teabagger or not, inciting violence among our elected officials is obviously a problem. It's the political polarization!!! It's the incitement of violence!!

Fuck you Ted Nugent. YOU also have BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.

[Bluenorthwest]

29. This week I saw a clip on DU of Nugent spouting off and

Roseannne Barr telling him what for with great excellence. The OP mocked Roseanne, not Ted. I posted my support for Rosanne. She speaks to Ted so we don't have to! That is a great public service she provides!

[Kurovski]

30. I did forget! K&R. (nt)

[deacon]

31. Excellent. n.t

[lonestarnot]

32. Anderson Pooper was all chumming it up with him on the TV box last week too. Watched a few minutes

until I thought I was going to puke.

[Enthusiast]

33. Chickenhawk Nugent. nt

[OmahaBlueDog]

36. By the way, I'd recommend Jackpine Radical's post

I'd forgotten these non-Nugent gems
