That's one way to mark Black History Month: When Ted Nugent hits the road this year, he's calling his tour "Ted Nugent Black Power 2013," he writes on the conservative website World Net Daily.
In a column that describes "dirty Democrat politicians" as the enemies of black Americans, the right-wing rocker reels off a string of statistics he says demonstrate how ineffective Democratic policies, including Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, have been at helping African-Americans overcome poverty, crime and a lack of education.
"The truth is that the Democratic Party has been the engineer of the destruction of black Americans, and everyone knows it except the very people who need to know it the most black Americans," he writes.
Nugent, on the other hand, says he celebrates Black History Month "every day," because his "fire-breathing musical career was literally launched by black musical thundergods" including Bo Diddley, Little Richard, James Brown, Wilson Pickett and more.

Remember when he promised us he would be dead or in jail by now? Promises,promises ,Ted.
I think he should name his next tour "I shit my pants to stay out of the Viet Nam war because I only like shooting at things that can't shoot back". Wordy,but true.

(794 posts)Since Nugent will probably be spending time raping little girls during this tour (as he always does when on tour) maybe he should call it the "Pay no attention to my micropenis and molestation history tour 2013" to reflect his true aims and intentions.
Why does Nugent and his followers hate America so much?

I was surprised that House of Blues books this racist while they claim to be about an African American art form, the blues. I guess the owners of HOB are cynical money grubbers who book racists in between 'Gospel Brunches.
