is nugent brighter than all of us

[dembotoz]

has been rocker becomes a bigger star than he ever was before.

i would not go to one of his concerts or events, but i never was going to before he went wacky.

but he is currently very hot. darling of the gun lovers who feel duck dynasty is for leakers

he is marketing very effectively to his fan base.

offending us and filling his bank accounts beyond our wildest dreams......

He is having the time of his life and playing everyone for the fool

1. No.

[quinnox]

2. Meh, I don't ever think about the guy

I kinda wish other duers were like me, and didn't post about him so much.

[TexasTowelie]

3. But he has all of those children to support.

5. Hatemongers are never bright.

Just ask most of Fox News viewers.

6. He played our small county fair some 15+ years ago. I voted but wasn't politically active beyond

that. I thought the show was ok, albeit more than a little corny when he drew back his bow and fired an arrow into some fake stuffed game animal. Music was fine. Whatever. He's a total fucking nozzle now. Surely was then as well, but he just isn't that important to me to think too much about him. He holds a similar place in my head to Alex Jones.

7. "Better paid" != "brighter"

He's using his fan base for money very effectively.

Doesn't make him bright. Makes him well-paid.

8. point taken

10. Lots of ways of being smart

Das Nooge was always focused like a gamma ray laser on the moolah.

[Scootaloo]

9. Self-exploitation isn't brightness

Any idiot can do it.

[JaneyVee]

11. No, the media is just dumber than us.

[Jetboy]

12. The RW cottage industry is profitable for some. I would imagine that his back catalogue

does well with the people that cheer him on. I would guess that he is making a lot more money now than he did at the height of his rock career.

Still, his rantings are good for the Democrats. He is completely crazy and scary and they just keep letting him go on and on.

[idendoit]

13. Boy, this must smell like that draft dodging, pedophile's pants....

...when he reported to the local draft board.

[Blue Owl]

14. No he's dimmer than most of us

15. I don't think Nugent himself is bright.

But Nugent's agent sure is.

Otherwise Nugent would have died in a gutter decades ago.

[Javaman]

16. there are a lot of crappy musicians making money...

that doesn't mean they are smart, it means they have fans with no taste.

and there are plenty of those.

[hobbit709]

17. He was an asshole 40 years ago and now he's an asshole with 40 years more experience.

[Whiskeytide]

18. Perfect. I plan to violate your copyright and use that. n/t

19. When I worked at the Armadillo there were musicians that played there

that we would have helped them hide the body. Nugent was one of those that could have been the body.

[Lost_Count]

20. Leaker?

[PeteSelman]

21. I often consider going into right wing punditry.

Lots of money to be made off of the rubes and it's the easiest job in the world. I've often considered preaching as well for the same reasons.

Too bad I have integrity.

[tblue37]

22. Just a grifter like Palin. Dennis Miller also revived a moribund career

by catering to RW audiences. One thing the RW does mch better than the left is that they *support* their advocates and "foot soldiers" financially.

We have some rich folk on the left, too, but they don't play the long game the way the wealthy RWers do, and they don't help to build and maintaining a political and media infrastructure the way RW richies do. The RW's media funders don't withdraw support when one of their outlets doesn't make a profit. They willingly accept a loss in those areas to "catapult the propaganda," because they know that doing so helps their bottom line over the long run.
