Nugent Calls For "Total Destruction" Of Social Security

February 07, 2011 7:39 am ET by Media Matters staff


In a February 4 Washington Times column, Ted Nugent called for the "total destruction" of Social Security, calling it a "Ponzi scheme" and falsely claiming that it is "broke." In fact, as Media Matters has noted, without any changes, Social Security will be fully funded through 2037.

1. I call for the total destruction of Ted Nugent.

So there.

58. +1,000,000 but I'd settle for a conviction on statuary rape in his case.

[RamboLiberal]

57. + 1000

[FiveGoodMen]

59. I think we should go after any remaining fans as well.

[social_critic]

60. Please stop advocating violence

Ted Nugent is a bad actor, but it's not nice to call for his destruction. Ted Nugent doesn't need to be destroyed.

Think about this violent act you are calling for. What would you do, kick him in the head? Hang him? Cut him into little pieces? Dig a hole, put him in it, and bury him alive? Don't you see these thoughts are sick?

62. Nice avatar. (n/t)

66. Took the words right out of my mouth.

The Nuge can shove his guitar up his ass.

[Le Taz Hot]

2. You mean this pedophile isn't in prison yet?

"The Nuge" needs to just STFU.

[HughBeaumont]

3. Ever notice that the people who call for SS to be eliminated . . .

. . . are either

a) already wealthy or
b) a dumbass who thinks he/she will BE wealthy someday and doesn't have to worry about it?

Republican Moat Builders: We Got Ours!

[shanti]

63. wth?

doesn't he have family members who collect SS??? guess he's throwing them under the bus :eyes: what a guy.

[mrcheerful]

4. This is what happens when you crap your pants and wear them for 2 weeks before you go to

see the draft board, after all sitting in that much crap for 2 weeks has to effect the mind and Teddy boy wasn't wrapped to tight before the draft board visit, remember he was known as the Detroit Madman. Or maybe it was all those years he spent pouring deer in heat urine on himself, either way Teddy boy is a grade A nut.

[Deep13]

7. +1

[liberal N proud]

5. That is because he is one asshole who doesn't need to rely on Social Security

to survive.

:nuke:

What a waste of human tissue.

[Deep13]

6. If I were as rich as Nugent, I wouldn't need it either. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Nugent is destroying himself from within.

And that's good.

[progressoid]

9. We need to ignore all things Palin and Nugent.

[spanone]

10. ted the moran

[CanonRay]

11. Glad someone is being truthfull about the Republican agenda

[begin_within]

12. That was THE WORST concert I have ever been to

Portland, Oregon, Memorial Coliseum, sometime in 1981 or early 1982... Sammy Hagar was the opening act (pre-Van Halen) and was marginally better, but Nugent put on absolutely the worst concert I have ever seen of any type in my life... my roommate gave me a free ticket to it, and I still felt like I had been ripped off.

[DontTreadOnMe]

19. I went to three Nugent Concerts

I really liked his first two albums "Free For All" and "Stranglehold". Good guitar work... then he wandered into his Gonzo Cat Scratch Fever period, where every song was about pussy.
You can only write so many alpha male crap shit before it becomes a farce.

The third time was in 1980 at the New Haven Coliseum. There was a riot outside and and the fans were throwing bottles from the rooftop parking garage down onto the cops. A city bus was overturned!

This was the type crowd that Nugent wanted. All frenzy, no class. During the show, he had a rope that he would swing back and forth about the stage in a loin cloth, like Tarzan. A loin cloth! It just seemed a little weird to me at the time.
Jimmy Page wore a cool Dragon suit, not a loin cloth!

It was at this concert that I realized that Ted was a child with a millionaire budget. I was only 16 years old and still in high school. But I had already outgrown my Nugent phase.

Ted has a target audience that has a 15 year old mindset.
And when you watch Uncle Ted now... he is still 15 himself.

I was going to attach a photo of Uncle Ted in his loin cloth... by I will spare your eyes.

[begin_within]

37. Well that explains a lot.

I read he eats raw meat too.

[janet118]

13. Why would any respectable newspaper let this man rant . . .

on its op-ed pages. . . Oh wait, it's the Washington Times. Do the Moonies still own that?

[chelsea0011]

14. This guy has got a lot of mileage out of the very good "Journey to the Center of Your Mind"

and the truly horrid "Cat Scratch Fever". Many more have disappeared with much more to offfer.

[Erose999]

21. Don't forget the misogynistic song "stranglehold". And this truly insipid power ballad:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_uh8XjgLTE

Yeah, the Nuge is an overrated hack. He's never done anything that's pushed a creative boundary. EVER.

[lonestarnot]

15. Ted you are nuts, but you can sure parrot well..

:crazy:

[onehandle]

16. Crazy idiot with gun fetish says something.

Yawn.

[Historic NY]

17. Ted change your filthy underware........expert you r not.

[dembotoz]

18. the fucker is rich-he won't need social security

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. Ted Nugent can kiss my ass.

[Javaman]

22. the halfwit is only 62, give him 3 more years and he'll change his tune. nt

[Skip_In_Boulder]

24. Ted Nugent - Trying to become more irrelevant.

We get it Ted, you're a dumbass.

[KurtNYC]

25. Now what kind of newspaper would give ink to a burned out lunatic like that?

...
oh yeah. That one.

[Dark]

26. Well, at least he's being honest. Most Repubs say "Privatize" so people can choose what to do

w/ "their money."

But,after that, they can put it in a CD or the market, but they still couldn't touch it.

Then they'd say, "it's your money. You should be able to take it out."

So, people would take out the money early -- and be left with nothing at retirement.

It's like they want MORE seniors working at Wal mart until they die.

[Ganja Ninja]

28. Ted "I crapped my pants to get out of the draft" Nugent has never ...

wanted to contribute to society in any way.

[Brewman_Jax]

29. That's real big talk from a draft-dodging freeper

I'll bet he'll quietly apply and get Social Security when the time comes. I've never met or heard of the freeper that would turn down gov't money--for themselves.

[Minnesota Raindog]

30. Does anybody really give a flying fuck what Ted Nugent has to say about anything? n/t

[madmom]

31. Ted who?......

Seriously sarah palin has more cred here than he does, at least she was a contenda..:rofl:

[tjwash]

33. LOL...the dude has been playing county fairs since the 90's...fucking has-been

Or in his case, a barely-was-for-a-short-time

[Maraya1969]

34. Look who's talking. A monetary success in the music business.

Most musicians don't earn squat for their talent and hard work. And he wants these people to save and have enough for their retirement.

[Urban Prairie]

35. Nugent repeatedly crapped his pants to avoid serving

Imagine him soiling his shorts as a POW in Nam. The Viet Cong would have begged and pleaded with the US troop commanders to pleaaase take him baaack!!

[bobbolink]

36. And Obama calls for destruction of programs for poor people. Tell me again what the difference is?

Oh, I forgot.. Obama is a dem, so that makes the deaths of poor people just fine.

[SOS]

38. His 2010 tour was called "Trample the Weak"

He is a nasty sociopath.
What is Charles Manson's take on Social Security?
Equally relevant.

[du_da]

39. Am I the only one

who noticed that this thread has an awful lot of attacks but not one instance of someone supplying logic as to why this idiot's points are invalid? This is exactly what I keep trying to point out to you guys. If you don't take these people seriously then you are relegating our cause to back burner because just as people are listening to Bono and Oprah they are also going to listen to Nugent and other celebs because while they may not have any additional insight that a normal person wouldn't have, they do have the ear of the people. Right, wrong, or indifferent these people's voices will be heard. To make matters worse, when you just spend your time attacking these people instead of attacking their logic or in this case lack there of then all you are doing is feeding into the negative hype that the RW media uses to show us in a negative light. For example, saying that media outlets shouldn't be willing to give these people a voice; how would you respond if they did that to us. Oh wait, some of them do and you guys go ape over it. Your not helping the cause unless you are under the impression we can do it alone. We have to convince others to join and those who are not already in the choir are turned off by your methods.

We have to do it better and cleaner than the other guy.

67. Discussion with conservatives has to have a measure of maturity

Civil discourse with conservatives requires a modicum of intelligence and seriousness of purpose.
A debate between David Brooks and Bernie Sanders would be interesting to listen to.
A debate between Senator Franken and Senator Snow would be worthwhile.

But Ted Nugent?
He's a cartoon.
He calls for the destruction of Social Security.
That's not a serious suggestion. What politician (Rep or Dem) would propose this on the floor of the House or Senate?
It's political suicide.

He then blathers on about young people saving money now, so they "can amass a fortune".
Doing what exactly?

Nugent is an unintentional comedian and deserves nothing but derision.
Taking this coot seriously would like arguing politics with Homer Simpson.

[Dawson Leery]

40. 80% of the public would disagree with the draft dodger's horrible idea.

[11 Bravo]

42. Ted is a total bad-ass. He will flat-out obliterate any defenseless animal or intangible policy ...

that dares to cross his path. When, however, he was given the chance to lock and load against someone who could shoot back, he chose to shit himself.

[Ikonoklast]

43. Chickenhawk alleged child molester had his chance.

Too bad, he could have showed the world just how big and bad he is.


White Feather Ted.

[Hubert Flottz]

46. He is still shitting himself to this day...

and now he thinks he can shit us too.

I always wondered why his "Guitar Playing" sounded like shit? Teddy and the entire GOP are some shit based motherfuckers.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

44. How many years has it been since Turd Nugent was relevant?

Fox "News" resurrected this ass-clown because he's Hannity with long hair. Go to his website sometime and check out his tour dates- It's nothing but casinos and theme parks and county fairs with the occasional teabag rally thrown in for variety. This bozo can't even land a steady gig in Branson! Forget him. He and the 30 people who still listen to his records are not worth even a first thought- never mind a second.

Chickenshit POS.

[era veteran]

48. Chickenhawk draft dodger with a guitar

Who cares.

[JuniperLea]

52. Have you ever heard his story of how he dodged the draft?

This guy is creepy as all hell.

[era veteran]

55. Yes .... creepy

I never really had any problems with dudes that dodged the draft except for chickenhawk hypocrites. That no talent part is another thing.

[Initech]

49. Past! Nobody tell him that you voluntarily pay into SS!

:popcorn:

[Bake]

50. Hey, Ted ... why don't you go bear hunting with Sarah Palin

Take your slingshot.

Bake

[JuniperLea]

51. He should take Cheney too...

$arah and Cheney... and Ted. The Phony, the Crony, and the Cretin.

[Bake]

54. +100

:hi:

[chowhound]

53. ted no-talent is as relevant as the talibunnie

another one who should be ignored. jeez he wasnt even a part time Governor

[GeorgeGist]

56. Well there you go!

To the G-R-E-A-T-E-S-T page on DU. Impressive.

[Bluenorthwest]

64. See, this is the time of year when the County Fair talent has to

gin up attention for the booking season. Ted's always spouting off this time of year, trying to make noise, going on TV, pulling strings, 'cause lord knows he can not do any of those things with his guitar and he has bills to pay. Ted keeps a break neck summer tour pace that no one would do if it was not a frenzied drive to survive.

[struggle4progress]

65. Maybe the Rs should run him for President in 2012
