It's true, Ted! There is nothing quite so racist as infringing on your right to assassinate a duly elected President.

You incredible idiot.

I was going to say something snide but instead I'll just say I hope he keeps shooting off his mouth.

He'll be Romney's nominee for VP for sure!

He got the Nazi Klan rally part right, but Ted Nugent is not a black Jew.

Or, as Tagg Romney (Mitt Romney's son) put it:

"Ted Nugent endorsed my Dad today. Ted Nugent? How cool is that?! He joins Kid Rock as great Detroit musicians on team Mitt!"

Ted Nugent having extensive experience equivalent to the plight of the black man in the Klan-era South. Or even current day violence.

Next up, rich white protestant male is persecuted in America.

Hey Ted...you´ve got mail: A Charles Manson writes, he would be delighted to meet you, wants to talk to you about something called Helter Skelter...And someone form Norway asks if you want to become his pen pal, says he knows how it feels when everybody calls you insane for wanting to protect your country from liberal multikulti Nazi-Marxists

Jus' tellin' it like it is! Jus' tellin' it like it is! Jus' tellin' it like it is! A universal cop-out for any sort of bigoted or antagonistic or idiotic statement someone wants to make. Just claim you're tellin' it like it is and who can honestly get mad?

The modern conservative movement: The bigger an asshole you are, the greater your perceived victimhood.

i fully expect him to be harassed by the ghost of sammy davis jr. for the rest of his earthly days.

There's been a lot of talk in recent months about Republicans practicing dog-whistle politics, but they're not even bothering with the dog whistles any more. True, Nugie isn't a politician--he's a private (if somewhat famous) citizen, but he's using his forum to spout racist nonsense in support of Romney, who is declining to comment. The best he could muster against Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a whore was saying "It's not the language I would have chosen." Meanwhile, other Republicans are red-baiting, trying to repeal child labor laws, attacking both abortion and contraception, critizing adoptive parents, criticizing women who work outside the home, going after teh gays, and bemoaning the loss of a nation in which White people made all the decisions for everybody else. What century is this, exactly, and why are the Republicans trying to lead us back to 1962?

This douchenozzle put out, what, one good record back in the mid-70s? If not for his right-wing batshittery, he'd be opening for Foreigner on the crappy casino circuit right now. What a country.

Ted might shoot off his mouth.

The complete lack of reading comprehension on the part of Libs here is the real humor.

@ 12 beat me to it. This guy is a professional celebrity, like Donald Trump and the Kardashians.

he's just not intelligent enough to understand that he threatened to assassinate the president.

The second concert I ever went to was Ted, I was 12 or 13, the first being Joan Jett. Ted was also probably the worst concert I ever went to. He couldn't stop talking about "dog dicks", and even as a young lad I found this fixation to be very strange.

@9,

Makes sense. The bigger asshole you are, the more people (rightfully) treat you like shit.

Republicans never apologize.

More like a Nazi Klansman at a Black Jew Rally.

Obvious troll is obvious, not going to bite.

@22- Should anyone criticizing the God Damn America sermon take it in context?

Yes, they should.

I haven't followed Nugent's career. Apparently, though, in addition to his racism and gun fixation, Ted is also a pedophile.

And it seems that he got out of the Vietnam draft by living in the same pair of pants for the entire week before his draft physical. That's "entire week" as in never even pulling them down to piss and shit.

@27- "Linguistic sins"

Seriously?

You'll hold people accountable for "linguistic sins" rather than deal with the meaning of the complete paragraph in which a phrase exists? That's mental laziness on an epic scale.

The next time the Righties make a fuss about a comment by a Dem, we should all just yawn. The Hilary Rosen comment about Mrs. Romneybot was so overblown last week, but we get nada from the Righties about Nugent this week except defense.

The Nuge is an admitted pedophile. The Nuge for VEEP!

/I hate both the Phony Romneys so much.

Reader01, I don't think anyone thinks Nugent is literally and truthfully a Romney surrogate. But that's exactly the language that was used with Jeremiah Wright or the recent Hilary Rosen mess. People are putting it that way as a bitterly sarcastic commentary on the gap in how the two similar things are being reported.

So the answer to "Why should Mitt be held responsible but not Obama?" is "The press DOES hold Obama responsible for every idiotic thing one of his supporters says, why is Slog the only outlet treating Romney the same way?"

Listen, Ted Nugent is not Romney's minister. Romney may very well despise the Nuge. There's a world of difference.

@31: "But that's exactly the language that was used with Jeremiah Wright"

I never understood why Obama should apologize for Jeremiah Wright, anyway.
