Ted Nugent advocates public lynching of Boston bomb suspect

[Playinghardball]

National Rifle Association (NRA) board member Ted Nugent essentially advocated the return of public American lynchings in a Sunday column that decried the modern justice system as too slow to deal with “voodoo” terrorists like the Boston bombing suspect and the Fort Hood shooter.

“He probably won’t go to trial for more than a year due to court-sanctioned delays,” he wrote for right-wing conspiracy website World Net Daily. “Once he’s found guilty, he will be afforded any number of appeals that will take more years, possibly more than a decade. The young voodoo nut has got a long life in front of him, thanks to America’s screwed-up justice system.”

The Detroit-born rocker went on to say that he views the Fort Hood shooting suspect in a similar light. “Hasan is a voodoo terrorist who should have been the feature attraction at a neck-stretching party on the grounds of Fort Hood years ago,” Nugent added. “I would have supplied the rope, the lumber for the gallows and gladly pulled the hatch on this soulless rabid dog.”

Nugent goes on to say that since American “jurisprudence” has been hijacked by things like attorneys, evidence and appeals, “a July 4 celebration of stringing this son-of-a-b-tch [sic] up in the Boston Common and letting the crows pick on his rotting flesh” would be more his speed.

“There will be no swift justice for the Boston voodoo punk,” he concludes. “He’s got a long life ahead of him. How pathetic.”

Nugent may be surprised to learn that jurisprudence is a field of study, rather than an attitude or plodding, methodical system of doing things. A key piece of literature in that field is Oliver Wendell Holmes’ “The Common Law,” which contains a series of lectures on how laws against murder, assault, property damage liabilities and the like evolved over time.

1. i guess we had better agree or we will be accused of being sympathizers to murders. nt

[alp227]

2. In his defense, Nugent has fantasies about Southern secession, so this isn't too surprising nt/

[Myrina]

3. And it seems many here on DU would agree, sadly.

The emotion of the moment seems to have made many on our side forget that we are supposed to be the country of Human Rights, Freedom and Rule of Law and instead pick up their pitchforks and torches.

We need to walk the walk, or stop talkin' the talk: are we better than the GOP Thugs, or are we Neanderthals just like them?

8. +1

9. I haven't seen anyone on DU suggest he doesn't have the right to a fair trial.

[kestrel91316]

19. Then you haven't been paying attention.

[bluedigger]

22. You gonna educate me, or just contradict me?

35. Three or four people advocating for harsh punishment.

Maybe one or two who don't care about due process. Somehow that becomes "many". How many people post daily on DU? Ten? The statement is just as hyperbolic as some people's reaction to the crime is overemotional.

[neverforget]

36. I'm not the one that said many. I merely gave you an example

of some DUers advocating torture and public executions.

[sarisataka]

17. My thought as well

I have seen many threads and posts, while not stating it the same way, are in step with Mr. Nugent's opinion.

If any try to deny such has been seen here, they have not looked

[Nine]

25. You've made an assertion. Now back it up.

Show us evidence of the many DUers suggesting Tsarnaev be lynched.

[tridim]

4. Don't like America? Then leave, as you said you would.

[phantom power]

5. Hey Ted, you're supposed to be dead or in jail, so STFU

[hobbit709]

6. He's a zombie

but whatever he's eating, it isn't brains.

[PeaceNikki]

18. No shit.

We're waiting, asshole.

[Beaverhausen]

7. Voodoo?

What is he talking about?

[Animal Chin]

14. Anything foreign (i.e., scary) to him

which means people who either don't look like him and/or don't talk like him.

[Avalux]

20. He really likes that word!

I really wish people wouldn't pay attention to what comes out of his filthy mouth. Not much of it makes sense.

[jmowreader]

28. Voodoo = non-Christian, so far as I can tell

[angrychair]

10. After reading his "statements"

I would conclude that his repetitive use of the term "voodoo" is a minced oath for something else. I won't venture to guess what...even trying to get into his head would require a bleach bath.

[Animal Chin]

11. "attorneys, evidence and appeals"

Along with trials and presumptions of innocence: all the scourge of a free society.

[Texasgal]

12. Geez, I thought he was

going to be dead or in jail in january.

[MineralMan]

13. Snake Nugent - I thought you was dead or in jail.

[JoePhilly]

24. That movie reference was the FIRST thing that popped into my head too.

[olddots]

15. This turd maggot has made a carreer out of being a turd maggot

[kelliekat44]

16. I would love for somone to do an ethnic background check and DNA on Ted. I suspect he would end up

hating himself.

[geomon666]

21. Weren't you supposed to kill yourself Ted?

What's the hold up brother?

[sinkingfeeling]

26. Remember when the GOP claimed to be the party of 'law and order'?

[Capt. Obvious]

27. *yawn*

I'm now going to use the auto-trash function for the first time using the word "nugent"

Man is such a fucking bore I will no longer give him any care.

[Stretch714]

29. I usually don't say things like this, but if Teddy was hanging next to him I would be ok with it. nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

30. The degree of difference between Nugent's and Tsarnaev's thinking is minimal.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. Friedrich Nietzsche

[Marrah_G]

31. I still don't understand why this guy gets any press

[jmowreader]

32. I advocate public lynchings for chickenhawks like Ted

You know the difference between being a Vietnam War supporter who covered himself in his own shit so he wouldn't have to give up his guitar, and someone who fled to Canada because he didn't want to be put in the position of having to kill people he didn't think needed to die? Shit Boy is a million times worse, because if the doctors would have fed him proper food for a week, pressure washed him, pronounced him fit to fight and sent him to Nam, he would have killed with glee.

When Ted Nugent dies he is going to heaven. And when he gets there they are going to put him in a pillory, and people who died in combat will kick him in the balls once a minute until the end of time.

[rustydog]

40. I disagree witht he kill with glee assertion

Nugent strikes me as the too-tough dog that runs to the end of it's chain and incessantly bark.
You stomp your foot an yell at it, the dog pees itself...that is Ted Nugent

[Stretch714]

41. That is the best description of him I have ever seen. nt

[redgreenandblue]

33. Isn't shitty-pants supposed to be dead or in jail?

[Baitball Blogger]

34. Hasn't he figured out yet that his blood-thirsty party is no longer in power?

Swift justice? Does he really prefer to see a lynching instead of milking the terrorist for information? For one thing, I want to know the name of the contact in Cambridge that turned the older brother. (This is per the uncle's interview.)

[rustydog]

37. Ted Nugent is the stereotypical GOP gun nut

He is a loud-mouth gutless piece of fecal matter (sorry, fecal matter) who was too chicken-shit to protest the Vietnam war draft, he shit his pants, wet himself then went in for his physical, which he failed. (self-admitted)

He recorded a hit song, bagged some babes, did dope and became a right-wing ass-wipe two time poacher (confessed) who talks a tough fight, but will never fight himself.

[City Lights]

38. Kook.

Get help, Ted, you're a sick, sick man.

[nolabear]

39. Voodoo? Hell, a good voudoun wouldn't waste a candle on that fool.

And yeah, I know a couple.
