Rocker Nugent tells NRA about his American dream

[Nightcrawler]

No way, not yet. I got dibs on him as the next gov. of Michigan.

What's that? I thought you trolls south of the Bridge all loved Auntie Jenny? LOL

Hell yeah. I'd vote for Governor Nuge!

I sent my correction request to the Post-Gazette:

I would like to bring to your attention an inaccuracy that was in the story "Rocker Nugent tells NRA about his American dream", 4/19/2004.

In the caption underneath the photo of Mr. Nugent, it states "Ted Nugent holds his guitar and an assault rifle during his appearance before the National Rifle Association convention yesterday." The rifle that Mr. Nugent was holding was, in fact, a semi-automatic rifle, not an "assault weapon." Assault weapons are selective fire, which means that they can fire in semi-automatic or fully-automatic mode. The AR-15 in the picture is not capable of full-auto fire. In fact, besides sharing cosmetic features with the fully-automatic version, this rifle is no different than rifles that are commonly used for hunting in many states.

In the interest of journalistic integrity, it is my hope that you issue a correction regarding this mistaken labeling. There is no need to perpetuate misperceptions about sensitive issues such as this.

Wow, that was quick... they already emailed me a response...

"we should have said "assault-style rifle."


Must have a bunch of people on them about this...

Gigabuist, Ted frequents some places round and about where I live.

Same here, grampster. I've never bumped into him but I saw his name up on the Caledonia Sportsman's club a while back for shooting 25 straight. Kinda bummed out that I didn't run into him there.

Oh, and we're not giving Detroit to Ohio. Give it to Canada! I don't want those... whatever you call thems... picking US Senators anymore.

What's that? I thought you trolls south of the Bridge all loved Auntie Jenny? LOL

I like her about as much as I do getting romanced by a hot poker "prison style." Shame on you Nightcrawler... my blood pressure was doing SO good this morning.

Ted may be alot of things (most of which I like ) but I doubt hypocrite is one of them. I find his frank speech refreshing. Sure, he may go over the top on occasion but could it be that we are so used to the mealy mouthed PC blather that serves for discourse today that we are shocked when someone actually speaks their mind? Actually tells you where they stand on an issue and happens to do it with alot of passion?

I once worked for a guy that was alot like Ted. Always spoke his mind and was super successful in his business. Good or bad you always knew where your stood with him. What a refreshing change from the standard corporate PC routine.

I'll take Ted any day.

Ted Nugent.

I remember watching Bill Mahrs "politically correct" one night. Ted nugent was on with some of Hollywood's finest.

Ted hammered them into the ground discussing the firearms issues.

Although not "mainstream" he remains a breath of fresh air in a room normally full of stale smoke.

Nice stereotyping.

Not sterotyping, I've met the man.

Riiiiiight. So I guess demanding that people take responsibility for themselves and their family makes him "ill-spoken"? I guess demanding that "men" start acting like men makes him a "redneck"? Guess I'm all that too.

No, standing up in front of the entire student body and faculty of a school as well as a large faction of parents and the press and acusing all students of being drug takers or drug dealers in profane language makes him a redneck.

I try and model MY family after what he suggests.

By trying to get out of paying child support to your illegitimate son by claiming you pay as much as someone that makes $20k a year?

He doesn't allow PC to erode what he wants to say.

Nor grammer or profanity.

Ted is a frequent vistor of Bosque County. He has good friends in Waco, that are old friends of my family. He hunts locally. My mom was in the travel business for many years, used to book his airline tickets to Waco.
He has talked to the local school as I mentioned. HE does some good things and definitely feels a passion for guns and the 2A. BUt if you have the opportunity to sit and talk with him for any length of time, it gets old real fast.

I grew up on his music. Now that I'm a parent and have kids, and have seen first hand how he talks to kids in a public enviroment, I don't want my kids to have anything to do with him.

your opinion is just as irrelevant as mine when it comes to labelling others, right?

Couldn't agree more.

Nightwatch: " 4 more years? Hope not."

And who are you hoping wins the election, if not W and Cheney?
Politics is like a game with a very complicated set of rules, sometimes its not the moves that are made that matter most, its the moves that arent made. Cheney might not have yelled out 'From my cold dead hands' or 'No more MG ban!' while holding an M249 above his head, but at least he respects the NRA enough to give a speech. Did Gore make any speeches while he was VP at the NRA meeting? -Kharn

If you want to risk your future by playing the game, go ahead. Im not playing. Because it is the "game" that has brought us to this point. We are nolonger a truly free people.

Who I am hoping to win is a Libertarian candidate (which will not happen in 04). But I will consider it a victory if Bush is dethroned and both Democrats and Republicans learn that one term presidents is all they have left to hope for because a third party is rising to power, the Libertarian party.

They got it backwards

The caption in the photo is wrong. It should read:
