Nugent is a national spokesperson for DARE and an ambassador for Big Brothers/Big Sisters...

Isn't it about time we start changing that with his history of inflamatory and violent rhetoric?

on edit: In addition to his admitting to be a serial pedophile, I would think those organizations wouldn't want anything to do with him. Do they even realize what kind of individual this is?

Maybe we need to start a petition?

1. Not to mention

the fact that he likes to have sex with underage girls.

2. Yeah, given his history with teenage girls, he should be on the sex-offender list! n/t

3. Oh OMFG, I went to a Big Brothers/Big Sisters banquet in Miami

in the '80s. I hope he wasn't a big brother to any of the little sisters.

4. mmmm, i thought big brother/sister did background checks....

liking to fuck kids should be an automatic no....

one would think

5. Just wrote to them about it.

I was a founding board member for them for a local BB/BS agency. Sickened that they would even consider that guy as some sort of role model. When he was appointed, he was already famous for his racist and violent rants onstage. The Dixie Chicks get shunned and humiliated for saying something pretty tame, and Nugent is STILL allowed to tour Nationally, and have these honors, while other people would have been in jail for it.

6. I just saw this at Wikipedia

"Nugent once said in an interview, “I'm stymied to come up with anything funnier than people who think animals have rights. Just stick an arrow through their lungs."

"In a 1992 radio interview, Nugent referred to Heidi Prescott of the Fund for Animals as a "worthless whore" and a "shallow slut," asking "who needs to club a seal, when you can club Heidi?" He was ordered by a court to pay Prescott $75,000.[37]"

7. I didn't know about that...

...and I've made many donations to BBBS over the years. The next time they call I will be sure and tell them why I will not be donating.
