In an interview with music website Noisecreep, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider said he doesnt know why most Republicans who seem to love fellow rocker Ted Nugent cannot seem to recall him dodging the draft during the Vietnam war in the most revolting way possible: by pooping and vomiting on himself for a week, and doing hard drugs.
Teds always been a gun-toting conservative, he said after being asked to opine on Nugents claim that hes prepared to launch an armed revolt against the U.S. government over the reelection of Presidnet Barack Obama. But what gets me is that he was actually a draft dodger! I mean, to the point where he didnt bathe for a week, and vomited on himself to deliberately avoid the draft.
It wasnt all criticism, though: I totally understand why he did that, Snider added, but all of these Republicans who love Ted dont seem to know or remember that too well. Its crazy that hes become one of the voices of conservative America even though he was a draft dodger. If you dont believe me, Google it.
Nugent lashed back at Snider on Twitter, saying he had fallen for the big lie and adding: I challenge u to man up to the truth We xpected btr.

The fact remains that given the opportunity to serve his country Nugent chose not to which makes all his "stand up and fight" BS now laughable.

Either way, he's a lying sack of shit.

(7,044 posts)Figures. He is totally engulfed with hate and FEAR. Those are core Republican characteristics, as is the draft-dodging war mongering and saber rattling.
Pitiful. Just pitiful. Republicans really need to find someone with a shred of integrity to represent them. This endless parade of chickenhawk Republican gun suckers is sad. It's just sad.

You need a Democrat for that. repigs worship at the altar of the Golden Calf; they would sell their children & parents for a penny. No integrity there.

****************************************************
Nugent was born in 1948. Nugent says he went to Oakland Community College. Looks like he went to school for only a year. (Not a serious student)
A year after he quits school, he gets some type of medical disqualification. (I'm not knowledgeable about these classifications)
So, Ted doesn't want to explain the medical disqualification, he's a draft dodger and a liar.

(14,177 posts)But, I am still calling him Poopy Pants. It's too catchy to give up and that story came out of his mouth. I think what really happened is somewhere in the middle of his story and him going in with no plan to avoid the war. He probably did act insane in some way either by taking drugs or whatever. I don't think he didn't take a shower for a month, pooped and vomited all over himself and came close to death according to him. But, I don't think he went in as he normally acts either, unless it's how he normally acts now. Cuz that would be funny if he went in as a gun totting yahoo that couldn't wait to play shoot'em up and the military said thanks but no thanks.

TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee Snider has joined fellow hard rockers Ted Nugent and Gene Simmons in saying the war against former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was justified.
Speaking to Insight magazine's John Berlau, Snider said, "Weapons of mass destruction or not, he [Saddam] was asking for it, and he got it. As far as kicking his ass, he deserved it.

I thought he used peanut butter in his pants, and ate it.

National Guard appointments were highly prized during conscription.
