"Fuck Ted Nugent! You like to hunt a lot- so fucking what?!" -Insane Clown Posse in a rare moment of relevance

Zebes on April 17, 2012 at 11:57 AM

did they refer to that chick as an obama advisor?

TortoiseTurtle on April 17, 2012 at 12:00 PM

IOKIYAR. move along, it's only a veiled threat.

Max Solomon on April 17, 2012 at 12:05 PM

So hyperbole is illegal by vote of the court of the media?

Better round up oberman and maddow while your at it.

The Nuge clearly doesn't give a sh*t what anyone thinks of him, and is a rabid practicing libertarian. If you take a second to remember that, and not take him as the oracle of moderation and sociatial norms, you can remember that "its just like his opinion man..."

The no reservations interview with him by Anthony Bourdain ( a flaming liberal himself ) was eye opening. He still didn't like the nuge, but he at least respected him.

Taking people who don't agree with you and casting them as evil is a republican ploy, and is unhelpful to say the least.

@4 Jesus Christ, learn to fucking spell.

pfffter on April 17, 2012 at 12:07 PM

Nugent pretty explicitly threatened to kill Obama a few years ago. Where was the Secret Service then?

keshmeshi on April 17, 2012 at 12:08 PM

The Nuge dead or in jail? I'd be ok with either option.

TVDinner on April 17, 2012 at 12:09 PM

"SUCK ON MY MACHINE GUN", he yelled, referring to Obama by name, while waving one around. That's against the law, but nothing ever came of it. If it had been a lefty saying the same thing about Bush, he'd be in Gitmo. It doesn't matter if everybody knows you're a fatuous blowhard, it's still incitement.

@5 "your retarded"

meanie on April 17, 2012 at 12:15 PM

Getting upset about the dumb stuff the Nuge says is ALMOST as stupid as defending the Nuge.

longball on April 17, 2012 at 12:31 PM

@4 We've put AlQaeda wannabes in jail for less than that. And rightly so.

sirkowski on April 17, 2012 at 12:39 PM

This is a good example of what promises to be a central Republican dilemma in the coming months: How to strike the right balance between embracing the obnoxious crazy wing of the party and maintaining a safe enough distance to woo moderate swing voters. I expect Romney, if he addresses it at all, to instruct one of his proxies to issue some kind of "I disagree with his wording" statement like he did with Rush Limbaugh.

Proteus on April 17, 2012 at 12:41 PM

@10
"Getting upset about the dumb stuff the Nuge says is ALMOST as stupid as defending the Nuge."

Yup.
So Nugent wants to be as important as Obama. It's nice to dream.
If Nugent cannot be as important as Obama, Nugent can tell his fans that Obama is going to attack Nugent.
After all, if you have important enemies then you must be an important person. Right?
Right?

If the POTUS is your personal enemy that makes you as important as the POTUS. Right?
Right?

Maybe people who don't like Obama will buy more of my albums now.

@4: if he's a practicing libertarian, does he stay off the roads my tax dollars maintain?

Max Solomon on April 17, 2012 at 1:12 PM

The really annoying thing about the Nuge's hard-on for Obama is that gun control has been Priority #198,972 for this administration. The Democratic party realized years ago that this is a losing issue anywhere but at the local level: if you're a gun-owner and you live in a gun-friendly state, precisely fuck all has changed for you in the last four years and fuck all is what will continue to change for you during a hypothetical second Obama administration.

BUT OH NOES THEY'RE COMING FOR MY GUNSSZZ. Pathetic.

Doctor Memory on April 17, 2012 at 1:14 PM

In fairness, 'his mental illness strikes the right balance between "entertaining" and "menace to public safety' is pretty much ipso facto qualification to star in your own reality TV series.

Doctor Memory on April 17, 2012 at 1:42 PM

@8 you can also be arrested for criticizing an ex-VP.

"told him that his "policies in Iraq are disgusting," touched Cheney on the shoulder and then walked away."

Allyn on April 17, 2012 at 1:49 PM

I didn't know he was still alive. And my son said "who is he?". I think that sums up everything you need to know about The Nuge.

Sterno on April 17, 2012 at 2:04 PM

His mental illness would be more amusing to me if not for his predilection for shtupping children.

undead ayn rand on April 17, 2012 at 2:36 PM

@4: " is a rabid practicing libertarian."

Oh wait, we'd better not call him an unhinged manchild then!

undead ayn rand on April 17, 2012 at 2:40 PM

Oh, the Nuge. As irrelevant as ever.

I don't get it. Obama never even mentions guns. Much to the chagrin of the left. This fact doen't prevent the right from constantly deluging it's supporters with easily disprovable lies about how, any day now, "Obamaz thugz iz gonna come get ur gunz!"

tkc on April 17, 2012 at 2:45 PM

@22

He doesn't talk about it because if he did, it'd tip people off about what he's planning. But we know better, because the only bigger indication that they're gonna get your guns than telling you they're gonna get your guns is to not tell you they're gonna get your guns before they get your guns. Well, that and telling you they're not gonna get your guns, but just talking about getting guns in the first place is a flat-out admission guns will be got.

Zebes on April 17, 2012 at 3:28 PM

Ummm...do we get a choice regarding dead or in jail?...no brainer...dead please (oh yeah...his music sucks too).

on April 17, 2012 at 3:46 PM

@23 My god, I just realized he never talks about beef jerky, either.

I BEGIN STOCKPILING JERKY TODAY!

tkc on April 17, 2012 at 4:56 PM

BTW. If The Nuge is such a tough guy why'd he dodge the draft with a bogus 1-Y deferment. And then there is of course the classy incident where when he was 30 (and still married) he got himself appointed legal guardian of a seventeen year old so he bang her "legally." Not to mention the numerous underage chicks he used to brag about banging. Even, supposedly, Courtney Love. When she was like 12.

So basically RMoney is taking advice from a draft dodging pedophile who is under investigation by the Secret Service.

Not to mention he hunts chicken-shit "canned" hunts. IE: trapped and enclosed animals on high fence ranches. Outdoorsman my ass.

tkc on April 17, 2012 at 5:16 PM

Ted Nugent is a chickenhawk. Pity the term doesn't get more mileage nowadays. I've never seen so many chickenhawks operating in unison, virtually without a bit of self-cognizance.

Central Scrutinizer on April 17, 2012 at 7:47 PM

@19 you should play starnglehold for your son. That song is dope!

on April 18, 2012 at 1:39 AM

Why do you think that Mittens is any different than Nugent? They're birds of a feather.

Patricia Kayden on April 18, 2012 at 3:29 AM

Ted Nugent is nothing more than a tough-talking, draft-dodging pussy. And his music sucks, too.

Those are just about the two most important things that anyone can say about him.

And I wouldn’t worry about his threats; if he was too chickenshit to go to ‘Nam, he’s too chickenshit to risk his life following through on a threat. The guy’s too big a pussy to even hunt properly.

Bonefish on April 18, 2012 at 1:16 PM

Rocker Ted Nugent [has said] that he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if President Barack Obama is re-elected.

From his lips to God's ears!
