Ted Nugent once said Obama should suck on my machine gun. Now he wants to tone down the hateful rhetoric
By Herman Wong June 17 at 7:00 AM
Musician Ted Nugent is known for speaking his mind about the Second Amendment and hunting, but especially on politicians. He once said then-Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama should suck my machine gun. When President Obama was running for reelection in 2012, the rocker said during the National Rifle Association convention that, If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year. The statement attracted the attention of the Secret Service.
More recently his past comments about Obama and Hillary Clinton (Obama & Clinton, that's who. They should be tried for treason & hung." were invoked as what some saw as the right's hypocritical outrage over images of Kathy Griffin holding a mask of a bloody, severed head in the likeness of President Trump.
Greg Gianforte, Montana's incoming congressman who had recently been convicted of assaulting a reporter, told the Associated Press that, Its important to make sure we reach out to all parties and hear their voice. I think the other parties have an obligation, as well, to be respectful and in that dialogue.

(12,504 posts)Teddy was and is the poster boy for the Vietnam draft dodging chickenhawk coward. He's doing a fake cleanup of his act because the numbskull thinks he's going to be elected Senator of Texas. In normal times I'd comment that he's dreaming. But nowadays, anything is possible.
Ted:
"......Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.
So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn't believe the smell. They were ridiculin' me and pushin' me around and I was cryin',......"

(36,827 posts)Inflammatory rhetoric is really all that shitstain has. It's not as if he's some kind of intellectual and people are going to want to hear what he has to say. The only attraction he has is saying extreme shit that panders to the rubes.
