Nugents just another chickenhawk draft dodger.

And to all of you who feel the same, remember when pointing fingers at someone else there 3 pointing back at yourself. Do not cast the stones unless you are totally free of any wrongdoing.

Yes I am a Veteran!
Yes I lived thru the peace demostrations of the 60's in D.C.
Yes I was called a baby killer and spit at.
I know all about it.
 
There's no need to introduce misinformation to the thread (GTI,, wlewisiii, Nico T). Not everybody who registered for the draft (Yes, Mr. Nugent DID register for the draft.) was called. He did NOT show up to the induction station covered in feces or urine. His number was not called up. He has gone on record stating that fact. There is no proof otherwise aside from a few reporters that wrote false stories (and those stories were later retracted).

Introducing lies that are off topic in the first place does not help your case. Let's keep it on topic please.
 
Some looked at the past president of the NRA, Chuck Heston as a nut job. I would dissagree with that assesment and I would consider him a brilliant person who cared deeply about our gun rights.

Eventually, I beleive Teddy will become the NRA CEO and that would be a good thing. The orgainization is long-in-the-tooth and needs new blood. Unfortunately, right now it is not active enough in challenging gun controls in court cases and, hopefully, this will change in the future.
 
The guy 'avoided' having to serve, call it what you want. *shrug* I'm not saying I really blame him, who wanted to go to 'Nam?
 
There are two very good reasons why TN should "tone it down."
1) Saying the president should be shot like an animal is not respectful. In fact, that is verging on criminal. Yes, much like the Second Amendment, the courts have ruled there are limits to the First Amendment. What if somebody shoots the president? TN and the NRA in turn could possibly be found liable for the shooting (not likely, but it's not impossible). It's like when somebody sues the KKK for a lone wolf gunning someone down.

I don't care if the opposition is "playing fair." Calling for the death of an elected official is a horrible idea. If you don't like somebody who is elected, vote them out. You don't call for the murder of a sitting president. That's not cool.

2) Every time TN opens his mouth, it's good for a couple million dollars in the DNC war-chest. Money is power. So every time he opens his mouth about killing public officials, he is effectively giving the opposition more power.

So there. Can he legally say whatever he wants? Actually, that's debatable, but theoretically he can. Should he? Not by any logical process.
 
Nugent is a washed up draft dodging coward. What else needs be said?

Bingo!!!
i'm a US Army retiree. IMO: A guy who urinated and defecated on himself to avoid military service is not my idea of a patriot. See Nugents interview with the Detroit Free Press.

Did you read the actual quote? He was making a metaphor, not calling for the death of an elected official. His message was to do something about a problem, not just sit there and let it happen. He was saying that the problem was the result of people doing nothing to prevent it and it was their fault that it happened.
 
I also find TN a breath of fresh air, as political correctness has ruled over common sense, and I agree that the RACE card has been played to death during this administration, case in point allowing the black panthers to intimidate voters in IL. had they been KKK they would still be in jail, also prejudging a possible SD shooting that insures there will be no fair trial in FL.

Would be wise to read post #28.

You would actually believe everything you would especially the detroit free press. After all it is a liberal rag.

At least he's got a pair, and is entitled to his opinion as is everyone else.]"

Yeah, we would never want to may "right wingers" to be able to get their thoughts published in a website, for sure! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Nugent is a bomb thrower. If you think he's ... "rough" I invite you to listen to radio talk shock host Neal Boortz. For him it's the year of "talking dangerously."
Have fun out there.
 
In my parent's day, and in my grandparents' day, what you call being "politically correct" was what used to be called having good, old-fashioned "manners."

Nugent doesn't have any, nor does he have any common sense, and shame on those here defending him. Forget about his 2nd Amendment support. The man is advocating violence against a democratically elected man and against a broad group of innocent people in general.

Ted will very quickly find out he is in hot water. He'll be quiet for a while, he'll be cleared, he'll mouth off again somewhere else to show how "country" he is, but he'll be scared stiff inside about ever screwing up like this again. And well he should.

Surly you jest! Not in my day, nor in my parents day.

BTW, my parents were born in the 1800's.

manner's my, Oh heck I just won't say it. Too politically incorrect.
 
Based on the general media coverage of Uncle Ted's speech (from both ends of the media spectrum), it really doesn't paint firearms owners -- which right or wrong are closely associated with public perceptions of the NRA -- in a very positive light.
 
Huffington Post=left wing propagandist rag

MSNBC=left wing propagandist media outlet

Ted Nugent=big mouth preaching to the choir

Obama=left wing card carrying socialist

I don't think anything Nugent said holds a candle to what leftist celebrities have said about President Bush or Sarah Palin or other conservatives.
 
Most combative were his remarks calling Romney supporters to action, saying *We need
to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November.*

Do you think that's appropriate speech for an NRA board member?

Only Fox News is true, right?
 
Respect the office

Peraonally, I don't understand that phrase. I have no respect for the man in that office at all. I think he's a liar and a fraud. Once we get someone there that deserves respect, then will the office be respectable. It's just a very sad situation in DC now, and that includes congress. The SCOTUS is the only branch i respect right now.
 
How about they're all hopelessly biased sources.

The smart, critical thinker would consume media from many different sources and from many different parts of the political and social spectrum, and then use their gray matter to determine the essential truth that exists between.
 
Whether you like the way Nugent said it or not, what he spoke had a lot of truth to it. Anyone who cares to look into the history books can quickly see some very close parallels between our country today and our country in 1859 to 1860. The only question for me is how one points out where this is all likely to end up. You can be very blunt,like Ted or you can soft peddle the message using PC speech.
