Today's Buzz: Did Ted Nugent embarrass the NRA?

I thought the NRA was incapable of embarrassment.

[AquaMan]

Nugent embarrassed an organization, a party, his family and an entire generation of music lovers. No defense for such remarks.

More Nugent: I'm 'a black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally'

Bed wetters say it's a "veiled threat".  *YAWN*

Wonder if these people exercising their First Amendment right were ever harassed for it, tasteless, disrespectful, and moronic as it may be?

He's pseudo-famous.  He's NRA's Donald Trump.

It gets publicity more than people wanting to weed a garden.

Conan, why do you think its appropriate or even meaningful to run pics of other moron's who threatened the life of a previous president from the safety of a group of their peers?

This wasn't a veiled threat or a half assed bumper sticker, parade sign or building graffiti. This is a well known singer (from my generation anyway) who made a threat about a sitting president, who has a display of his other threats at NRA offices, and is capable of following through with his threat. Why does he get a pass? How can anyone defend his actions by saying others have been just as stupid and arrogant?

Nixon would have had him audited by now.

I love "Ted the Sledge" musician and politician. He doesn't mix his words and he is very passionate about what he say's and does.
A little to much on the I'm right and if you dont agree your wrong stuff. But hey, thats his conviction and not so much mine. But the man is not a ignorant band member. And he lives a clean and sobor, Self sufficiant lifestyle without financial controversy. So he's doing something right.

I also seen him twice. The Nugent tour in the late 70s and Weekend Warriors tour early 80s. Great shows and great times.

I simply wanted to know if Bush protestors with signs directly saying the president should be killed ever got their anal probe.  I chose to illustrate my point.  

The Nuge's comments were sophomoric.  I'm a gun owner, but I'm not a member of the NRA for various reasons including stupid remarks by high profile members which only serve to incite those who would prefer much tighter restrictions on guns.  Their scare tactics they use to drive membership has also served to rip off the gun-owning public by helping to falsely inflate gun and ammo prices.  I'm active in Oklahoma Rifle Association events and goings-on, as they more directly impact our state laws.  I don't envision ever being a card-carrying member of the NRA.

That said, Nugent's fame shouldn't even enter into the picture, and I fail to see where calling the president a criminal or saying he would be "dead or in jail this time next year" is a threat on the president's life.  That's reading way too much into the comments.  He may well have been inferring that he'd go down swinging if his firearm rights were impinged by this administration.  Do you really think Nugent would publicly say he'd assassinate a sitting president?

Personally, I prefer performers keep their politics to themselves, but he's got the same right any of us do to spout off.

That's Nuge though.  He has to have his 15 minutes or so every two to four years.  I like him as a musician, but he says outrageous things for effect.  If push came to shove, I doubt he'd have the cajones to do anything he's ever threatened to do.  I remember a former president saying things like 'speak softly but carry a big stick'...

I thought you were a lot younger than being able to remember that.

[Teatownclown]

Anybody who ever liked Ted Nugent is disturbed. I've never spent a minute listening to his crap.

[Conan71]

And Ted seems to be disturbed as well.

Mid 40s.  But I paid attention in history and I am a HUGE American history buff.  Especially the entire period around the Civil War.  Although that was said a bit later, but as I said, I paid attention in history class.

[Townsend]

Per KOTV the SS will be talking to him here in OK tomorrow.

So they like hookers...he likes hookers...

Ardmore hookers will be in luck apparently.
