Tom Delay and Ted Nugent to Appear at NRA Convention
HOUSTON (AP) -- The National Rifle Association is holding its annual convention this weekend in Houston.

The event is expected to draw about 60,000 people including Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who will be the convention's keynote speaker tomorrow.

There's a session tomorrow called "God, Guns and Rock-n-Roll," featuring rock star Ted Nugent.

The NRA's executive vice president says the location for the convention is a good one because, "It's the heartland of the country." He says, "They love us."

1. We can take the gun issue back from these assholes.

I'm convinced of it. There's a middle ground to be found between banning everything and letting everyone have them.

And banning "assault weapons" ain't it, by the way.

[MrBenchley]

12. Wonder if we'll hear any "pro-gun democrats" complain on gun forums?

Wonder how many will complain to their local chapters of the NRA?

[leesa]

18. Why not? Why do you need assault weapons?

[OrlandoGator]

20. It is not a matter of need.

[BornLeft]

45. Yeah dammit

and i need my assault crossbow. And my assault knife and a bigger penis. whoops. I meant, I need bigger guns. Been hunting for over 30 years and never "needed" an assault rifle. And don't criticize me for hunting it is a way to supplement food for my family.

[johnfunk]

55. Ted Nugent is very popular among the NRA rank and file

I think his politics -- particularly on guns -- are completely wacky, but he's very articulate and personable, with just the right touch of gonzo rocker edge.

That, and he's an enormously underrated musician.



His 2002 appearance on Crossfire - snacking on venison with fellow hunter Paul Begala - remains among that show's absolutely finest segments (as does Frank Zappa's amazing smackdown of a right-winger from the show's early days.

[swag]

2. It would be cool if Tom Delay

got on his knees in front of Nugent during a really smokin' guitar solo and mimicked fellatio on the Motor City Madman.

[sabra]

3. Wow, you just freaked me out :-)

[quispquake]

4. Yeah, some images don't EVER have to be brought up...

Uggghhh...

[silvermachine]

7. ala Ronson & Bowie?

21. one bullet... n/t

[callous taoboy]

24. How chummy are they? Does Ted play prison gigs?

[silvermachine]

26. He could use him as a Delay pedal...

...sorry about that, I just had to.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

57. good one.

i saw this at work yesterday and have to give you props now.

bahahhaha.

i got it. dont worry. welcome to du.:spray:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

32. Don't EVER do that again! n/t ;- )

[Warren Stupidity]

41. It would be even cooler

if nugent just chopped delay up, grilled him, and ate him. That would be way cool.

19. Here's more of that talking down stuff that Dean was referring to.

Good point about the heartland... didn't like being told I love assholes, though.

[youspeakmylanguage]

27. I hear the same comments made about NC...

...and I saw some nasty right-wing propoganda in the dark blue states of Oregon and Washington on a recent vacation.

I live in the south, yet the only two deeply racist people that I know personally are from Pittsburgh and NYC, respectively.

My point? Don't broadly stereotype based on geography.

[AlCzervik]

6. i hope some intrepid non corporate reporter sneaks in there

with a tape recorder.

[atreides1]

8. What a Pair

One avoided military service during Vietnam by stating that all the slots were taken by minorities, the other did it by pissing and shitting on himself.

[one_true_leroy]

30. who was which?

[tabasco]

48. Nugent showed up to the induction station covered in shit.

Typical fraud freeper tough guy. The minute their ass is in any real danger, they do ANYTHING to get out of it. Oh, but they talk like real warriors, yessiree.

9. "God, Guns and Rock-n-Roll,"

huh?

[onehandle]

10. Too bad Eric Rudolph is otherwise occupied.

He'd be the perfect keynote.

[BOSSHOG]

11. Two badasses who never spent one day in uniform supporting

and defending the constitution against people like themselves, domestic enemies of the constitution.

[Dr Fate]

38. They don't call you the BOSS for nothing!

LOL!!!!

[SoCalDem]

13. Will they be armed??.. With any luck, maybe they'll.....

shame on me :spank:

[MrBenchley]

16. Of course not...

In fact, they feel so strongly about "responsible law abiding gun owners" that they'll run the attendees through metal detectors before they ever go near the group...

[Chovexani]

22. Shame on me too

I was thinking that myself. ;)

[MrBenchley]

14. Boy, that sums up "gun rights" in a nutshell, doesn't it?

...emphasis on "nut"

Will there ever be a better time to point to the NRA and start publicly calling for gun control?

By the way, here's a reminder of the festivities at last year's NRA klavern...

"PITTSBURGH -- A man whose son was killed in the Columbine High School shootings literally walked in his child's shoes to the National Rifle Association convention, where he hoped Vice President Dick Cheney would address the federal assault weapons ban set to expire in September.
Tom Mauser, whose son Daniel was killed with an assault weapon in the Littleton, Colo., killings five years ago Tuesday, said continuing the ban is common sense.
Assault weapons "are the weapons of gangs, drug lords and sick people," Mauser said before his three-block march to the convention, which runs through Sunday. "It is a weapon of war and we don't want this war on our streets."
Mauser entered the convention hall where the NRA was meeting, but was turned away by a security guard as several conventioneers applauded. A couple of conventioneers yelled "Get a life" and "Vote for Bush." "

[bushisanidiot]

15. The dumbasses will probably hold targets for eachother to shoot at

"Here Tom. Hold this paper target in yer teeth so's I kin shoot an arrow at it."

doy!

[leesa]

17. Cripes. Get the nets out!

[Gregorian]

23. Don't step on my blue suede Uzi.

No Twisted Sister?! Well, now we know God has a sense of humor. At least politics has gone from complete insanity, to entertainment. I just wish I could change the channel.




PS-If I weren't running out the door, I'd photoshop a picture of Delay as a trophy head on the Nudge's wall.

[JerseygirlCT]

25. I've always loathed his "music"

Now it makes even more sense.

[dArKeR]

28. Nugent admitted to child molesting and his daughters confirmed this

on a TV show called, "Daughters of Rockers" or something like that. I personally saw this show. He was talking about how he'd pick up this very very young girls and bring them home and have sex with them. His daughters, on camera, confirmed.

Now why is Michael Jackson on trial but no investigation to what Nugent has done? Where these girls Nugent molested 13 or 11 or 14? What type of sexual acts did he have these children perform?

This is absolute proof the media and Justice is completely controlled by the Repblican Power Elite.

If MJ was the person in "Daughters of Rockers", MJ would be found guilty immediately because he admits to sexual acts with children and his family members concur.

Imagine if Ted Kennedy was at apperances with Michael Jackson after on TV MJ addmitted to having sex with children? Why aren't the media making a story about "Delay with admitted child molester Nugent?"

[MrBenchley]

34. He's also malignantly racist...

So Delay is appearing with a racist child molester in front of gun loonies....so much for those Republican "values" and the "Culture of Life", eh?

[BadNews]

46. Links please

Could you guys get me more specific resources for Nugent's racism, or child abuse. Both would be interesting and better prove the hypocrasy.

[tabasco]

49. Here's a link for his draft-dodging:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nugent


"Nugent avoided the draft during the Vietnam War. In an interview for the Detroit Free Press July 15, 1990, Nugent described how he avoided the draft: He claims that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with excrement and stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says. His quote: “ but if I would have gone over there, I’d have been killed, or I’d have killed, , or I’d have killed all the Hippies in the foxholes… I would have killed everybody.”


Typical freeper coward. Talk like tough guys but truly cowardly fucks.

[BadNews]

50. Draft dodging I knew..

but I hadn't heard the other alegations. Does anyone have anything more concrete?

[tabasco]

51. I just did a very quick google ....

Nothing on Nugent having sex with underage girls, but is this a reach?

Here is a tidbit I did find on the scumbag's failure to support his son:

http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,13559,00.html

The guy is a total scumbag. A millionaire that has to be sued to support his son. Disgusting freeper scum.

[oasis]

53. "If you don't speak English then get the ----out of America" said Nugent

in San Antonio just before the 2000 elections.

I read an NRA expose article in "Mother Jones" circa 1998. Nugent was quoted as saying "Blacks are lucky to be in America so they won't have to wear those bones in their noses".

[dArKeR]

54. Go to MTV and buy "Daughters of Rockers" if you can or ask MTV

to air it again. Or was it the other channel "V1" or whatever. I only watch TV a few minutes per week and I"m the only one who saw this? I was on about 1 year ago. Guess not too many interested DAs or NeoFascistCon Media Whores. I'd bet if Neugent was African he'd be serving muliple life sentences now.

[BadNews]

60. Probably right.

I don't doubt that he did it. I just have a hard time believing that if you admit to child molestation on TV you will not be prosecuted. I don't care who you are. This is a juicy subject that would sell news papers and air time. Not to the extent that Jacko does, but still it is CHILD MOLESTATION. If he did it, he should rot in prison. Period.

Couldn't you mail a copy of the video to whatever DA has jurisdiction and demand an investigation. Come on, there must be a progressive DA somewhere in this country that could make a name for themselves on this. IF there is a tape, I doubt that there is not someone who would be willing to prosecute.

[Mike Daniels]

29. Ted Nugent is the best they can do? Was Toby Keith booked?

I would think there's got to be someone slightly more relevant to today's music culture that they could book as a speaker.

It's seems that most contemporary country artists lean towards the right and I figure the odds favor someone in that group owning some sort of firearm.

It'd be interesting to know if the NRA approached other people and were told "no".

[MrBenchley]

33. Nugent is on the NRA Board of Directors...

Worth looking at who else is on there...a couple of convicted criminals, a bunch of militia loonies, Grover Norquist, and the publisher of Soldier of Fortune magazine.

[llmart]

31. Is Charleton Heston going to be there......

wearing a Depends and drooling in his oatmeal???

Yeah, he's a real man 'cause he owns guns.

[Dr Fate]

35. TWO draft-dodgers with big guns and little dicks.

Big deal.

[Blue Belle]

36. I wonder if any of Ted's songs are...

on "W"'s Ipod??

[Bridget Burke]

37. Nugent's singing the National Anthem tonight....

Sounds like a good weekend to stay off the streets....

[Massachusetts]

39. Birds of a feather.......

[Guckert]

40. Nugent could be the next Head of the Department of fish and game

The way the idiot president is appointing people.

[Ravy]

42. Let's hope that Nugent knows that editorials declaring....

"open season" on Tom Delay are just speaking figuratively.

[truthisfreedom]

43. was ted nugent ever convicted of sex with underage girls?

it's been a long-running rumor about him. he may have said something in early interviews.

here's a link where they say courtney love claims she gave head to ted when she was 12, as she stated in an on-air interview.

44. Well let the shootin' begin!

What would it take to precipitate an every-man-for-himself free-for-all shootout at the NRA convention while Tom Delayed and Ted Nucklehead are on stage?

[LiberalFighter]

47. Maybe they will have a duel to show their accuracy.

[Orsino]

52. That giant sucking sound...

...is stupid moving south.

[Terre]

56. Live Coverage on FOX News 9pm ET

Anyone on DU have the nerves of steel it will take to watch his speech live?

I know I can't - fingernails running down a blackboard is not my idea of fun.

[AlCzervik]

61. thanks for the heads up, i will watch it if it's on cnn or cspan

i'm not giving faux a ping of my cable box even to watch the bugman come undone, not that i really want to give cnn a ratings ping either but better them then faux.

[nine30]

58. Ted Nugent is decaying faecal matter ..

If he were dead and buried..I might take a piss on his grave.

[frictionlessO]

59. I own guns and this (amongst many other reasons) is why Im not NRA!

The NRA is completely and totally a political animal in the hands of radical ideologues!
