In a post on his Facebook page Tuesday, never-was
has-been Ted Nugent wrote that if those who supported the NRA
and the 2nd Amendment didn’t get their “freedom” then they’d demand the
“evil carcasses” of President Obama and other notable Democrats. The
wannabe right-wing pundit and member of the NRA’s board of directors
made the post as a way to ask his followers to donate money to the Crime Prevention Research Center, a gun-nut cabal founded by John Lott. Nugent claimed that Lott poked holes in recent reports by the FBI and Everytown for Gun Safety regarding active shootings. Lott’s research over the years has been discredited by many reputable organizations and publications.
Nugent’s Facebook post was typical Nugent. He strung
together a bunch of random words in an effort to make himself appear to
be far more intelligent than he really is. When it comes to word
salads, Nugent puts even Sarah Palin to shame.
GUNRIGHTS HERO PROFESSOR JOHN LOTT blew the freedom haters & gungrabbers outta the water with his stats/facts broadside MORE GUNS = LESS CRIME suckerpunch truth bludgeon. Read the book, share the truth with your elected officials & give away as many books to as many people as you can to de-sheeple the braindead masses with their peace&love disease. Make a donatoin [sic] to the CRIME PREVENTION RESEARCH CENTER to destroy the Obama/Holder/Clinton/Schumer/Pilosi [sic]/Boxer/Feinstein/Durbin/Bloomburgh [sic] propaganda jihad against our right to self-defense & TRTKABA. JOIN THE NRA! Be the best American you can be. Freedom or their evil carcasses for traction back to it.
Nugent also posted links to a number of CPRC ‘studies’ and gave out Lott’s contact information.
I don’t know about you, but using a public forum to
call for the killing of a sitting president seems like it should receive
some attention, and not exactly the kind that Nugent is seeking. I
don’t care how he tries to spin it — Nugent stated that President Obama
and other well-known people need to be killed. This is extremely
dangerous rhetoric no matter which way you slice it. The Secret Service
needs to make a visit to Nugent ASAP. He’s told the lunatic fringe wingnut gun nuts
that read his ramblings that Obama needs to be shot. It isn’t hyperbolic
to state that this is an overt threat to the president and others.
Of course, over-the-top rhetoric is Nugent’s bread
and butter. Being his 'music' career has been relegated to the county fair
and BBQ competition circuit for some time now, the Nuge has been able
to gain attention via conservative media and making incendiary comments.
In the run-up to the 2008 Presidential election, he told a concert
audience that he wanted Hillary Clinton to ride his machine gun and
Barack Obama to suck it. He’s made numerous racist remarks over the years. Earlier this year, he called Obama a “subhuman mongrel.” Despite making those comments weeks before, Texas repugican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott still had Nugent hit the campaign trail for him.
While this is more than likely another instance of
Nugent seeking attention, it is high time that he finally face some
repercussions for yelling ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theater.
