He’ll say or do anything to get elected. That’s not really any different than other candidates past and present, he’s just not good at hiding it.
Who does care what celebrities think or say? I think the influence of Liberal Hollywood over mainstream liberals throughout middle America is exaggerated a bit.
Particularly in foreign countries.
“If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”
What I would like to know is how anyone who has at least three functioning brain cells thinks that statement is a threat against Obama. Where, in that statement, did Nugent say he was going to kill Obama?
You’re a parody of yourself, Clothahump.
We could, but the better way to play it as that whenever a Democrat makes a dumbass or hateful or dumbass hateful comment we can claim it’s okay because Ted Nugent never apologized to Obama.
"Howard Stern fans today were surprised when famous liberal Alan Alda called into the program and spent 20 minutes singing new lyrics to the MASH themesong that began with ‘cunt cunt cunt cunt /Ann Romney’s a cunt…’ and then proceeded to call for her vivisection and demanded that Mormon’s be declared a race so that a state sponsored genocide could start. Asked for response to the liberal Alda’s diatribe, prominent Democrats responded, “In the first place 'Ann Romney’s a cunt was taken out of context all 12 times, and in the second, why should he have to apologize when Ted Nugent never apologized to Obama?”
I suppose he could mean that Obama plans to introduce legislation that makes being a twit a crime, but I would guess Nugent meant that Obama holding the presidency for four more years would lead to Nugent doing something regrettable.
Now you know. You don’t have to agree.

From what I’ve seen, the answer sadly is…a hell of a lot of people. I’m not even talking about ‘Liberal Hollywood’ here…I’m talking about any celebrity of any stripe. I’m guessing that Nugent isn’t a ‘liberal’ by any stretch of the imagination (I really don’t know…nor do I normally care, as I said earlier). HIS ridiculous opinion is obviously being listed to by some non-zero number of blockheads…correct? But it’s not even about politics…people (including my wife, who I’d normally consider reasonably rational on other things) seem to be fascinated over myriad aspects of various celebrities and ‘stars’. Hell, she freaking watches them do some dance show, where the only prerequisite seems to be ‘are you famous for something’ to get on…certainly not their abilities to, you know, dance. Or stuff. 
Just venting…wasn’t meant as a dig at liberals (or conservatives). I just don’t get it.

He’s just another cowardly loudmouth like the rest of his ilk. If someone actually called him on his bullshit, he’d piss himself and beg for mercy. A little boy trying to be a grownup and failing miserably. Your career has been over for a long time, motormouth; get over it.
Is any of your trio of neurons familiar with the concept of an implied threat?
Hint: it’s what mob extortionists rely on when they say “nice house… be a real shame if something happened to it” instead of “nice house… if you don’t pay me I’m going to come back and commit arson!”
By itself maybe it wouldn’t have much meaning.
In conjunction with Nugent’s previous remarks calling Obama a piece of shit who needs “to suck on my machine gun” while holding a semi-automatic rifle in the air? Well, I think even you could see how it might get the attention of the folks charged with the Presidents safety.
You guys are totally misreading this whole thing. This was just Ted’s poorly worded expression of the great admiration he holds for Joe Biden.
Nice to know that you hold the Secret Service’s judgement as to what is a threat, in such utter contempt.
What then is your parsing of that quote? What meaning do you think he was trying to impart? What, is he saying, would kill him, and/or for what would he be put in jail?
And, of course, no one who is “off his rocker” has ever engaged in a politicized act of violence. No, the ones who are “off [their] rocker” are totally fine and no one should worry about them.
Has anyone ever actually been gored by a white-tailed deer? That would be totally awesome.
I’m surprised his previous threats against Obama and Hillary Clinton didn’t result in charges against him. They were much more explicit than this.
I was going to snarkily encourage Clothy to read for content.
But I realized that would just be gratuitously cruel.
Keep trying, pal. I’m with you. I admire your courage.
Don’t you teach Taekwondo? You do know you’re not supposed to let your students kick you in the head, right?
How have I lived to be this age without knowing this? His music is not “my style of music” but I’ve always given him a pass for his ye-haw I shoot my own food sort of life because he literally does eat what he kills and as a carnivore who am I to judge…but DRAFT DODGING? F that shit. Killing the president is also a “no-no” in my book.
Well, now I’m curious… does Nugent mean a re-elected Obama will have him killed or interred? That a re-elected Obama will drive Nugent to criminal activity?
