Today's Buzz: Did Ted Nugent embarrass the NRA?
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/opinion/todaysbuzz/os-todays-buzz-ted-nugent-nra-threat-obama-041812,0,3372988.story (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/opinion/todaysbuzz/os-todays-buzz-ted-nugent-nra-threat-obama-041812,0,3372988.story)
I thought the NRA was incapable of embarrassment.
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.
Anybody who ever liked Ted Nugent is disturbed. I've never spent a minute listening to his crap.

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.
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.

I liked him when he was with Damn Yankees. Great album, that is. My opinion? He should stick to hunting shows and music. But hey, that's just me.

I know people who have received visits from the Secret Service for BS they wrote on the Interwebs. Yes, more than one person. It happens pretty regularly.

I wonder when they show up if they truly look like the "Men in Black"

So basically, threats on political leaders helps to create jobs!
Now there's a concept: "As a part of the stimulus package I'm going to piss you off so bad you will make death threats and the Secret Service will have to hire more agents."
;D
After last weeks stiffing of some local girls of their hard earned money. It looks like at least eight openings right there. I read the agreed on price was 800 Dollars and the boys only ponied up 30 Dollars.
CIA. Crooked Invasive A$$holes.

Hey, it might have been lost in the exchange rate ;)
I guess I'm not the only one who thought these guys were acting like cheapskate a-holes. It wasn't like they were real expensive girls. Just pay the damn money and zip up.
Well Uncle Ted is at it again. He blew up at a CBS reporter when asked about Romney needing the moderate vote and that Ted is anything but moderate.
In claiming that he is perceived to be a "damned nice guy" he challenged the reporter to find out differently, and if he could he would s**k his d**k and turned to his female producer and said "Or I'll f**k you" how's that sound?"
Starting to sound like he needs to pump the brakes a little and let this election year just run out.

A show on Fox news or following Limbaugh would probably do well.
I though he looked and sounded mentally deranged. Wouldn't have surprised me to see him whip out a gun and start shooting in the air. Course, if he did that in Tulsa....
Some day he'll probably be the basis for a football mascot somewhere in the South.

...he'd be introduced to the mayor.
No doubt. I was thinking of the courthouse plaza deranged citizen.
Can't you just see Nugent as a Pistol Pete type mascot for a football team 20 years from now? I mean, it will take that long for memories to fade and his current reality to morph into likable, lovable, eccentric old rocker with a penchant for blurting out obscenities. Maybe the Utah Noogies or sumpin'.
Long ago I read an interview with Ted as he spoke about hunting and wildlife management. The guy actually makes sense when he sticks to those topics, but when he switches to politics...not so much.
