- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -14/+41Headline is obvious. The real news is that someone cares what Ted Nugent has to say.
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -12/+32Ted Nugent is Sarah Palin with a guitar and a bigger mouth. He always falls on the conservative republican side of every issue, despite being a serial adulterer and a statuatory rapist. I remember in the early 90's he supported a libertarian candidate for governor in MI, but then the NRA offered him some sort of council/board seat in exchange for throwing his weight behind whatever fat republican it was that ended up winning. And Ted Nugent sold out. He also had his own radio station in detroit for about a year, which consisted almost entirely of playing Ted Nugent songs, Ted Nugent running his mouth, and occasionally, they would play another artist's songs while good old Ted SOLO'D OVER THE TOP OF THEM, AS THOUGH IT PROVIDED SOME SORT OF IMPROVEMENT.
Ted Nugent, you are a ***** tool. Even Detroit is tired of you. - zuiquan, on 05/15/2009, -2/+19Your point? If someone runs around talking a bunch of ***** about how badass they are and how much they love this country then pusses out when the opportunity to go to war for it arises then they're a ***** *****. Ala Dick Cheney and the aforementioned Ted.
Oh and just to cut you off before you get started with me: yes, I signed up for Gulf War I and I've got the DD214 to prove such. - induren, on 05/15/2009, -9/+25Oh you stay classy Ted.
- antonio97b, on 05/15/2009, -8/+23lol Ted Nugent is a loud mouth pussy. He was old enough to sign up for vietnam but chose not to be he didn't want "to get his ass blown off."
- shadowspawn, on 05/15/2009, -11/+26I'm sorry to offend anyone, but he has some valid points. If I had to give my ID and sign a piece of paper in order to buy BB's for my son, BALL BEARINGS, I'd be pissed.
My son learned how to shoot a 22 by my hands and in boy scouts. It's target practice and a sport, a skill, that's all it is. I shot my dad's 30'06 when I was his age and I still think my shoulder never recovered. But I learned what guns were, from taking them apart, to loading cartridges, to seeing how accurate you could be at 300 yards, and making your own ammo cause it is damn expensive and my allowance was better spent for buying transformers figures.
My family was brought up to respect guns, they were used for hunting when meat was scarce (we didn't *always* have freon for refrigerators in this country, nor ice boxes y'know) and the first thing you gotta do is teach your kid that what he sees in movies and cartoons is NOT like it is in real life. He also knows I'm more accurate with a slingshot than he is with my dad's old 22, and can do more damage than it can, so he tends to stick to the slingshot when he's interested in increasing his skill at it.
If I lived in a state where he couldn't even purchase BALL BEARINGS (we usually use river pebbles anyway and have a good time picking out good "shooting" rocks) that wouldn't be a state I'd want to live in, it isn't the country my family fought and died for. - seltaeb4, on 05/15/2009, -11/+21Ted Nugent is the biggest pussy that ever lived.
He loves to shoot off his mouth, but never backs it up.
He prefers hiding out in trees with his advanced weaponry, laying in wait for animals to kill .
When he takes on a charging boar with only a butter knife to defend himself, then maybe he can be taken seriously.
I'm thinking Pay-Per-View, billed as "The Nuge's Last Appearance." - inactive, on 05/15/2009, -1/+11actually he didn;t bathe or wipe his ass for 2 weeks before he showed up for draft so that they would reject him.
- cmotdibbler, on 05/15/2009, -1/+10It is somewhat disturbing that someone with the handle "FinalSolution" is defending Ted. I wasn't old enough for 'Nam (and wouldn't want to go anyway) but the point is that Terrible Ted is one of those mouth breathers who thinks the solution to every problem is bombs, guns and god.
- DivisibleByZero, on 05/15/2009, -4/+12See, this is why nobody takes these stories seriously. That comment turns into a threat of "assault"? Show of hands, who here thinks he actually intended to "slap the ***** out of" anyone?
I say we lock him up as a terrorist because the song "cat scratch fever" was clearly about his procurement of biological weapons.... - DD2CC2U, on 05/15/2009, -15/+23Ted Nugent has some serious emotional issues to deal with. He seems a little insane. Keep the guns away from this guy!
- tucker301, on 05/15/2009, -3/+11I am a gun owner, gun enthusiast, and a hunter.
Ted Nugent does not speak for me.
Just like any other cross-section of society, we have our nutjobs too. - walrusonion, on 05/15/2009, -12/+20I'm liberal and I love the Nuge he's such a hilarious *****
- woahwoahwoah, on 05/15/2009, -8/+15I've never liked Nugent that much. He's a bit of an ass.
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -11/+17Ted Nugent's comments are always hilarious.
Thumbs up! - westtexas357, on 05/15/2009, -3/+8I read it.
Ted being the Ted character, reporter failing journalism.
I don't care what celebs think OR what a "journalist's" opinion is.
Now you owe me for the time I wasted. - inactive, on 05/15/2009, -2/+7Ted Nugent is a *****. Many many other men are more acceptable as a hero than this man. Like Osama Bin Laden, or anybody who admitted to doing the 9/11 attacks, or the guy in my area who killed a war veteran and raped his kids.
C'mon, why aren't you laughing? It's okay if Nugent acts like a *****, though? - DarkStalker, on 05/15/2009, -1/+5The real headline for this article should be "Ted Negent: Canada rocks!"
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -2/+6No kidding, KSM would have done anything to make Nugent shut the ***** up,
- kanojo1969, on 05/15/2009, -1/+5i can't get my head around why it's such a nightmare to produce id. how is that such an insult, a depravity so intolerable that people would take to the streets and protest about it.
when people take normal things and turn them into something criminal, it's pretty normal as a first step to try and be sure that the people buying them are at least able to be identified. as a citizen who doesn't want to get shot up by some lunatic, you should be happy.
it's the same type of restriction they put around opiate-based painkillers, or cars, or everyday chemicals that can be made into bombs. - willowhaus, on 05/15/2009, -1/+5I like your explanation of your position, and I agree about building respect for the weapon - but honestly, I'm not that comfortable living in a state where it's harder to get a driver's license than a gun.
I also don't think it's really that much to ask to show some ID to buy ammo. You have to do the same to buy beer and cigarettes, and that doesn't seem to be a big impediment to adults smoking and drinking. - kolobcreek, on 05/15/2009, -3/+7It is possible he is the most sane man on the face of the earth and the rest of us are crazy.
- Dreeon, on 05/15/2009, -4/+8A little insane, or completely ***** insane?
- emjaysea, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3I love how he claims the journalist is ill informed, and then he turns around and claims a handful of radicals from Detroit and Ann Arbor handed the election to Obama. Apparently he's the one who is ill informed, and about his own state, no less:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Michigan_Preside ...
What a piece of work he is--I'm ashamed to be from the same state. - MidnightReign, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3I've always had mixed feelings about ole Ted. His hard-line straight-edge talk is a load of *****, but his stance on gun ownership and responsibility rings true. Too bad he's such as *****, though... his abrasive character makes it difficult for the rest of the gun movement to escape his shadow.
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -9/+12"UP: Hmmm.
TN: Hmmm."
What a reactionary *****. The interviewer can't make the sound of a thoughtful pause without Nugent having to fire on whatever rule of engagement he thinks he has. Get some ***** sanity, ya know? It's nice to see that you can't really debate this man on anything without him trying to be louder, or threatening to "knee-cap" you. - dougbdl, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3I like how Nugent (and the extreme right) like to talk about how their guns will protect them against a government gone mad. I have news for them. It isn't like the days of old when the founding fathers wrote the Constitution and the government had basically the same weapons as the civilians. The government has unmanned drones and can kill you from 2 miles away without you ever hearing or seeing anything. They can microwave your insides from 100 yards. They can control you electronically through the grid. Your dumb 9mm won't help you if the government wants you dead.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 05/15/2009, -10/+13What an *****, like so many of the rightwing nuts...
- 8FoldPath, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3Agreed. It's a stupid argument but just one the gun nuts cling to because of the spirit of the 2nd Amendment.
Face it, folks...if the government wants to come get you, it's your ass. No gun is going to stop that. - ScissorHand26, on 05/15/2009, -1/+4Yes, but highly unlikely.
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3Nugent started plying the interviewer for answers to his questions, so I guess it turned from simple Q&A to the little verbal exchange we saw.
- comofo, on 05/15/2009, -1/+4I admit that I'm usually in favor of gun control rather than none, but I don't understand why you are being dugg down. You stated, quite eloquently, your position and offered supporting thoughts. Gun control isn't what you family, and my family, fought and died for... neither is the simple, and easy, suppression of alternate view points. I don't think people realize when they simply down vote you, based on your stance only rather than the way you approach it, they are no different from Rush Limbaugh.
- OriginalLucid1, on 05/15/2009, -3/+6The sad fact of the matter is that a lot of self righteous elitist reporters need a good bitch slap. Or a swift kick in the junk.
- dougbdl, on 05/15/2009, -0/+2I'm a lefty and I support the Constitution and therefore the 2nd amendment. People should be allowed to own guns.
- kolobcreek, on 05/15/2009, -1/+3only if it is the president :)
- Ajajadude, on 05/15/2009, -2/+4If anyone is the pussy around here, it would be Ted. How exactly did he get out of going to Vietnam again?
- 8FoldPath, on 05/15/2009, -0/+2Too much guitar-playing, too little reading.
- ZetaVu, on 05/15/2009, -0/+2Great music, but kinda a douche.
- woahwoahwoah, on 05/15/2009, -0/+2Dude, I support the 2nd Amendment, but Nugent is still an ass. You're assuming that I dislike him due to his politics, but that's not entirely the case.
Know who someone is before you try to act clever. - sx66gns, on 05/15/2009, -3/+5Haha lol , Me To , He's like Uncle Ted or something.
When I was a young guitar player of 14 I got chance to talk to Ted Nugent on the radio and he told me these things:
"Stay in school , Don't smoke , Don't do drugs , Work hard & play hard"
I really wish I would have listened to him. - Eorster, on 05/15/2009, -1/+3Ted you are a great hunting and gun advocate, but a Lush Limbo advocate? Come on, you lost your marbles my friend, and now you lost any revenue from my purchasing anything you sell.
- govtdoesnotwork, on 05/15/2009, -1/+3Neoconservatives like Ted can sense they're losing on the drugwar issue, but they don't want to hear any of the obvious truths. They tend to have a "treatment for me, but a cage with bars for thee" attitude, which patriotic Americans instinctively (and rightly!) distrust. I mean, it's not a "prescription drug problem" if _I_ cop some hillbilly heroin in Florida off a *****' maid instead of a doctor, but it IS a "prescription drug problem" for Rush? ***** that *****. Ted needs to get real.
Ron Paul was, is, and will-be right on the tax and spend drugwar. In fact, if Ted would ACTUALLY educate himself, he'd see that the tax and spend drugwar's attacks on the 4th Amendment are an indirect but eventual GUARAN-*****-TEED attack on his beloved SECOND Amendment, which he's aiding & abeting by being this kind of hypocrite. And another thing...How come the *least* harmful illegal drug inevitably upsets these people the most?? IMO it's because they can sense they're losing the intellectual battle on that one, badly. Doubt me? Click

and just read the first 2 paragraphs of a dissent which SHOULD have been the Supremes' majority opinion. - staticneuron, on 05/15/2009, -0/+2...says the right wing nuts.
- PatrickFlorida, on 05/15/2009, -7/+9Ted Nugent's music was ponderous. So is his rhetoric.
- zsavior, on 05/15/2009, -3/+5I can't even call this man a right wing nut. This guy is bat ***** crazy, he rejects reason fact and logic, for what ever his mind tells him to say. Or he has read history, he just distorts it to what ever he wants.
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -2/+4I believe in your right to own and use guns.
"Gun control isn't what you family, and my family, fought and died for"
Actually, some families likely have fought for gun control. Of course, that's not even an indicator of importance. What is more important is that it is in the constitution that the public can arm itself. - bobbknight, on 05/15/2009, -0/+1Critical reading skills and critical thinking skills are sadly lacking many who are commenting here.
Or it could be that the article was not read, and comments were made regardless. - lornefs, on 05/15/2009, -1/+2I don't agree with much Nugent had to say and it bugs me to hear someone defend that piece of crap Limbaugh but that interviewer needs a good spanking.
- toekneebullard, on 05/15/2009, -0/+1You interviewed Ted Nugent. He said something outside of what most people would consider normal. You got what you wanted.
Why is this news? - bcamp1973, on 05/15/2009, -0/+1I used to like the Nuge. Now that I know he likes Douche Limbag I've lost all respect for him...
