NRA Scrubs Nugent Video

The National Rifle Association has pulled the video of Ted Nugent's incendiary comments from the organization's official YouTube account and from the NRANews.com website.

In recent days Nugent, an NRA board member, has come under intense criticism for comments at this year's NRA convention.

Nugent described the Obama administration as a "vile, evil America-hating administration" that is "wiping its ass with the Constitution" while telling the crowd that "[w]e need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November." Nugent also claimed that "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."

The Secret Service reportedly has a meeting planned with Nugent to discuss his comments.

Those angry old white men at the NRA don't really understand that once it's posted to the "internets" it is forever. I can't even guess how many people downloaded it while it was up. If it's not on 100 or 1000 other YouTube accounts by now I'll be shocked. I know Right Wing Watch has a copy of it.

Oh, I guess the interweb thingee Al Gore invented is biting you in the ass. Oh, darn.

Ted Nugent may have been compensated by the National Rifle Association for incendiary comments he made at the 2012 NRA annual meeting, according to documents obtained by Media Matters.

In 2000, LaPierre said President Bill Clinton tolerated a certain amount of violence and killing to strengthen the case for gun control and to score points for his party.

They must be stuck in the 1850s like the rest of the GOP is.

I can't see the NRA apologizing or hiding from what Nugent said, on their own. They are most likely proud of the slimefuckwit's words.
