No editorializing necessary on this. Res Ipsa Loquitor. Even the most boneheaded NASCAR Dad gulped a little at this; Fox & Friends (the morning show) tried soooo hard to finesse it. (I mean, recall how Dubya's poor successor, Texas governor Rick Perry, had to eat a murder of crows when he attended a Nugent concert and Ted of course showed out. Jaded rednecks on Perry's staff were issuing apologies in a politically correct wuss style they usually pin on liberals! Outstanding!). Background: Renegade right-winger Ted Nugent recently went on a vicious onstage rant in which he threatened the lives of Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Decked out in full-on camouflage hunting gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging, “Obama, he’s a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary,” he continued. “You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.” Nugent summed up his eloquent speech by screaming “freedom!”
The one time you'd want these worthless rappers to back-up the thug talk with action--yet not one comes to at least Barack's defense and set their "boyz" in their entourages loose on The Motor City Motherfucker? Ha! Well Ted, how about this, then--I have something for you to suck on...
Come on folks. We deserve better than this and it's time to run this fool out the same way the wingnuts buried the Dixie Chicks for some utterly more innocent. I guess the NAACP is busy putting together a Michael Vick parole fund but perhaps time would be better spent address this?
I'm out till Labor Day, so take care Fanboys & Girls. More updates on Yella Patsy's Boys, The Darker Mask (including a word from Walter Mosely) and Gangsterland...and a sneak peek of something truly crazy.
Sports digression----
Speaking of sucking, how on earth did the Ravens lose a pre season game to the Foreskins? OK, it wasn't technically a loss there at Douchebag Danny Snyder's monstrosity in Lanham, as Zeus (or was is Jack Kent Cooke's ghost) rained lightening bolts onto the field midway throught the third quarter, but do you really think the Ravens would have won? Hey, maybe if it were regualr season but I still think Brian Billick needs to go and a Herm Edwards type black coach come in and shake us up. No, I have no loyalty to the football team of the city of my birth. My home, the Nation's Capital. The fans here are bigger clowns than Steeler fans, bigger jerks than Eagle fans, dumber than Bears fans. Sitting in my overpriced seat last year, munching on my $10 hot dog, lawd lawd I actually found myselfing cheering for Tyrell Owens when the Cowboys came to town. But Baltimore...comfortable stadium...reasonable prices...cheery blue collar fans...the ghost Unitas hovering above. What a pleasure.
Maybe Ray Lewis can go stab Ted Neugent. Ray-Ray, I know you know some brothers who'd do it for fiddy and some change. Call me...

OMFG?!
Yes I was curious about the Dixie Chicks as an analogy. I wonder if Toby Maguire and the Country stars are going to distance themselves from this fool,too? NOT! I'm sure VH-1 (or was it MTV) won't kick him off his reality show. All publicity is good publicity these days.
there is such an assault on us... we need to build institutions that will prevent this level of disrespect and verbal violence to take place.
Hey, welcome to the republican's America. If you think they don't hate their enemies you are in for a surprise.
And the folks at FOX NOISE are defending this guy.
Geez!
Nabila--
Clearly you are not "bi-cultural." Toby KEITH is the lout you are thinking of. Toby Maguire is Spider Man!
Also, not that I care how this dude spells it but it's N-U-G-E-N-T.
Get it right so the Qs can roll out to his next concert with shotguns and motorcycle chains.
Ain't America grand? We live in a country where one has a Constitutional right to stand up in a public forum and spew this garbage? In most other "civilized" countries, Ted would have been scooped up in the middle of the night and charged and tried for treason and sedition for threatening legitimate Presidential candidates who also happen to be US Senators.
Writers! Don't you elitists know that no one cares about this story. There is real news out there!!! Hulk Hogan's son was in a car crash. Owen Wilson tried to kill himself. Kanye's been joanin' on Fiddy. Come on--get your priorities straight!
i once saw some reality show he was on . and then i googled him ... he is a crazy moutain man ..
The worthless rappers won't do anything accept killing our own people .
to your sis said
you are so right .
boo ted boo
Wow. The Dixie Chicks thing was big news but the supposedly liberal biased media doesn't want to air this story. Interesting. I wonder what would happen if Fabolous pulled out a semi-automatic on stage and asked Mitt Romney or John McCain to suck on the barrel? Yes, the FBI would be hauling him away.
Disgusting. My wife and I know others who usually support his views and we can tell they are embarassed because they adamantly refuse to talk about it. So we drop it and I think fair-minded people are getting sick of the nasty partisanship. Where has civility gone?

now why did this visual make me chuckle?
LaJane...it made me laugh out loud!
I just watched the video...
Chris... those Nascar Dads weren't gulping in hesitation... They were cheering him on.
These are extremists we are talking about. These are the same ones who dragged James Byrd behind that pickup truck in Texas... the same ones who burned crosses 50 years ago and the same ones still burning crosses in our yards to this day.
As one of the other commenters mentioned... the Dixie Chicks caught all kinds of Hell for making a song that dared to question policy... but this guy threatens two Secret Service Protected people, one being a former First Lady (as much as I can't stand her) who has Secret Service Protection for the rest of her life, regardless of the campaign.... Yet THIS story barely makes the news. Somethings wrong.
No surprise that Fox wants to defend this.
You better believe that if any one of us made such threats, no matter how vague, we would be under Federal Law Enforcement Investigation.
But the White Conservative gets off the hook.
Interesting...
The Dixie chicks took a heavy hit because their fans disagreed with and rejected them after the lead singer's remarks about Bush. In Nugent's case, his fans tend to agree with him.
Is it possible that he is a weird white kind of ODB or Flavor Flav type? That seemed to be the line Hannity was selling on Fox. That he is basically a maniac who says and does crazy stuff; he's not to be taken seriously, but I (Hannity) can't help but like him.
I could totally see Flavor Flav at some point in his career having done something like this, not that it ought to be condoned. I don't think Nugent's actions truly please anyone except those seeking some flimsy kind of outrageous entertainment.
