I loved the interview.Mr Nugent has passion-energy-pride-can do attitude-information,and a BACKBONE.And I like that.He also has a bubbly way of delivering his message,and you cant help but pay attention to him.What is wrong with that?Even though they did not agree on all point's,I still think it was a good exchange of strong opinionated men.
Gun control-----one in each hand.
Thank you,
Henry

A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life.”
 
Well we cant always have the best of both worlds,can we ?? if we want somebody to bash the anti's back, they NEED to be loud and brash sometimes,Before they set-up that interview they KNEW what kind of a fanatical "Back-strap assasin" he is,
I like his pro-gun , pro free-speech attitude,although he could tone it down a tich from time-to-time.
As far as his hunting-tactics go, Im SICK of watching ANY hunting show that is within range of a feeder , espically the one's that start the heavy guitar strummin when prey appears on screen,, I just turn the channel,, which is im sure what a few people did when they saw TED was coming up next on CNN !!
 
I liked the way Ted stole the conversation and got his point across. Especially fond of the way he prefaced his one argument with, "I hope you guys aren't going to edit this out." We need to do that sometimes.... Piers was not there for a rational debate, it's always a set up with the Left. I say they got a taste of their own medicine... Face it, if a 2A Supporter is invited on one of the Leftist networks, its a knife fight. If you show up with the assumption you will use the Marquis of Queensbury rules, you are going to be carried out a bloody mess.

Anyone remember the Rosie O'Donnell set up of Tom Selleck?

It doesn't matter anyway, like MSLSD, no one watches CNN...
 
I think the lefty's would come collect our guns tomorrow if we let them. Demorats have tried for years to do this, but for those of us who say "NAY NAY", including The Nuge, we still have our shooters. I couldn't say I would like Ted as our 2nd amendment spokes-person, but I can't say not either. He believes what he believes, as do I. Like him, I say "If you want to disarm me, gome getcha some." USMC, Vietnam Vet here...I ain't giving up nuttin......especially to the gov......I already did that....
 
Did Ted get a little out of line. Yes he did but guess what , they say a lot worse things about us and the effete media never criticizes their own when they dump on us. Ted did what I've been saying we should do for years now. He got down in the ditch with them and shoveled some their excrement back at them.

Why do WE always have to be nice and they don't? After all, the facts are indeed on our side.
 
Nugent

Those of us who actually served during Vietnam don't have such warm memories of the Nuge. He's free to speak his mind, but he does us no good in our cause of gun rights. :rolleyes:
 
Ted's pretty loud, and I usually love it. If he could find a middle ground between his obnoxiounous and knowledge he'd have everyone pro gun. He needs to learn when to be professional.
 
(I can't view the clip here so I don't know exactly what he said,) If we were in a struggle with an opposition that is polite and honorable, we would have no use for Ted Nugent. But we aren't. I am more interested in results than methods. In a society that has become more politically correct, and people are developing this notion that they have a right to not be offended, Uncle Ted is a deserved bucket of icewater in the face. He's not alienating anyone who didn't already hate us.

You are probably right, however, he did alienate a huge portion of the population that may have supported us. Thats where the problem lies. This is just plain old bad marketing.

And on that same vein can ANYONE here explain how his interview could have possible furthered the cause of the RKBA? anyone?

CNN abviously chose Ted because they knew how he would behave, given the mixed reaction at THR, imagine how the general public viewed his behavior and interview.

I was a draft dodger. I joined the USAF to avoid the draft.

I was a coward, and it took me years to get over that. For years I was praised for serving, thanked for my service, and kept my shame at being a coward in uniform to myself.

Today, I argue the side of liberty. To anyone who accuses me of having not been the perfect patriot all my life, guilty as charged.

Now, if you don't mind, those of use who have matured, who have awakened, who are now willing to stand fast, even though it terrifies us, we've got work to do.

Nugent never wore the uniform. I did. We were both, at that time, pretty miserable specimens. It took me longer to figure out that I'd gotten it wrong. I didn't learn courage until years later.

I may have some claim to the "moral high ground" but I haven't done a fraction of what he's done for gun rights or wounded veterans.

So I can be as morally superior as I want, but Nugent gets more done and actually does more good than I likely ever will.

But at least I can claim to have my "honor" (whatever that is), and deny him any acknowledgement that he might, somewhere along his road, have reclaimed his.

Far as I'm concerned, he's a fellow traveler, and I'm glad we have him.

While he may not be up to your standards, I see it differently. But then I'm climbing out of a deeper hole than some of y'all.

 
I love Nuge, I'd have been on there slicked in a suit and tie calling the CNN crony a coward, a fool, and a traitor. Would have said all kinds of other things to the guy. So in my opinion Ted was well restrained and disarmed the idiot talking to him when he kept saying outlandish things. Also I went on CNN to see some of the other clips and they were good too. CNN cronies might piss their pants because there are those of us who know that the lefties being dead is better than us being disarmed. It's nothing personal it's just how it is. We don't need more cowards, fools, or traitors. We do however need more law abiding citizens with firearms and concealed weapon's permits.

There was another clip about Gifford where Ted asked the English guy about Belfast and C4 and the English guy couldn't quite answer or meet Ted on the battlefield of wit. The clip unfortunately shut off just as Ted said he could get a sub-machine gun in New York city from a crack dealer, and he's probably right. Ted's not the best spokesman, but I'll stand with him any day of the week when CNN guy's like that interviewer are being whiney punks.
 
Arfin, did you have the possability of being deployed to VietNam as an Airman? Did you face death from our enemies if the Cold War had suddenly bloomed hot? Draft dodgers ran to Canada. You volunteered to serve despite being scared of going to 'Nam, and with that possability still very much hanging over you, so quit knocking yourself. Clinton was a draft dodger -you DID volunteer to serve.
As for the Nuge, he is VERY much in-your-face, but then remember The Daley threatening to shove an SKS with extended bayonet up a reporters' rear end for the crime of disagreeing with him? The Mass Media doesn't, either. How about Spike Lee saying Charleton Heston should be shot in the face with a Bulldog 44 for believing in gun rights? The Motor City Madman seems pretty tame compared to that. Even Rosie "The Spoon" O'Donnel's screaming rant, "I don't care, it's 1999, we've had enough as a society; if you own a gun you should go to jail!", is far more over the top than Terrible Teddy.
Watch Teds interview at the NRA convention, good stuff.
 
NRA has a number of articulate spokespeople.....Wayne LaPierre and Kayne Robinson come to mind. Ted will never have the class or measure up to a Charlton Heston, unfortunately Ted's style is better suited for truck stop bathroom walls.
 
Articulate -vs- Uncouth

. . . Wayne LaPierre and Kayne Robinson come to mind . . .

Yeah. I've got some Gun Talk audio clips for you of Wayne being interviewed by Tom Gresham.

Sure. He's all articulate and polished and stuff. But you really should hear him in that interview.

You may want to trade that "articulate" approach for Ted's uncouth manner and style, but that interview left me looking for mouthwash.

Ted may not suffer from excessive "couth," but I don't believe I'd have to worry about what kind of deals he'd cut when I wasn't looking.

 
For the whinner talk'n about hunters hunting over corn . Not all have the time to hint for maybe several months on end in hopes that you are in the right spot to take a naturaly hunted free rangeing deer. Small controled planted crops do exactly the same thing. Some use all advantages to our state law's give us the freedom to use so we can put a deer or two in our freezer and do our part in keep the deer herds in check a bit. I guess it kinda like Ted , Deal with it in your own mind All hunters should stand together and not bitch about how another hunter take adeer or 2 for the season. Where i live if you don't use some feed supplement advantage you my not kill a deer.
 
Gotta love uncle Ted, thats one Yankee that speaks the truth. He uses his platform for the cause whats not to like. Only a bigger idiot than the guy interviewing Ted could'nt understand this. I am a southern redneck born and raised in Ga. and the majority I know will say "God Bless Uncle Ted". I have been a fan all my life and even more so now. I just wish we could muster more like Ted that will say what needs saying!!! I literally can't believe what I'm reading in some of these post it is sickining to me.
 
I've never fully understood the use of "celebrity endorsement" to sell a social/political issue. I have read research about the small effect of using it to sell soap, food, or cars but wonder if people are often persuaded to accept or reject a social or political issue due to the words of a celebrity. I doubt I would change my mind on anything because of something Ted said. But I have to say I did really like the "Free for All" album.
