Millions Mourn as Rocker/Activist Ted Nugent, Age 66, Found Alive

Millions of Americans awoke this morning to the tragic news that rocker Ted Nugent was still alive. The news broke early and sent shock waves through the rock and roll community, and throughout the Republican Party, where Nugent is well-known for his support for conservative causes, and fierce advocacy for the rights of hunters and gun owners. The National Rifle Association issued the following statement:

Ted Nugent has proudly and patriotically served on the NRA’s board of directors since 1995. The Association shares a deep sense of shock with our 4.5 million members and countless millions of supporters as details of this catastrophic event continue to unfold.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), one of several organizations Nugent violently criticized in the past, also issued a statement expressing condolences.

I remember the countdown clock. He promised to be dead or in jail if Obama was reelected. He gave a date certain. Nothing. I woke up that morning expecting him to be dead or in jail. I never got over it.

I was feeling guilty because I was unable to stop feeling happy about it and then just as quickly, the happiness and the guilt vanished.
Great post.

nicely done.

Ted is proof that listening and playing music at high volumes can cause brain damage.

I'm guessing all the PETA haters on this site are just thrilled they still have Ted Nugent in their camp !
Be aware of those who share your hate.

... the father of some 12 year-old girl he's molested will put him down.

What does it say about the NRA of today that they express admiration for a draft-dodging child molester who shoots endangered species from a helicopter for the fun of it?

made for each other. Both despicably promote unsafe gun ownership with no restrictions whatsoever, no child locks, no safes, no restrictions on magazine size, fully automatic is aok, parents shouldn't be jailed for unsafe gun storage, etc. etc.. America is already so unsafe, think how much worse it would be if these cretins had their way.

HI-Larious!!! "Billions" Mourn I was thinking! There'a another huge LOL on the same site re: Rudy Giuiliani's recent back in the limelight Obamabashing the other day. That's the way I prefer to deal with all the Obama bashers who have access to a wide audience, with a big fat LOL. Helps to keep me from shaking my head too much in disbelief!
