I hate The Nuge so much that I almost love him. He's like a caricature; a ridiculous comic book villain. And not that I'd wish death on anyone, but I think it's only fitting that he go out in a bang; by one of those bears he tries to hunt with a bow.

sad, sad, sad. i know i should separate music and politics as much as i separate religion and politics. but damn. the man can surely play a guitar. and that man is surely an a$$hole.

mmm,luckily i dn't own any of his cds, at least

p.

guy's a moron.

In other news, sales of charcoal are outstripped by sales of Amboy Dukes CDs.

Beats listening to them, I guess.

i adore the nuge. he is like a right wing hunter s thompson.

Hey! I like The Amboy Dukes.


As much as I disagree with his stance on pretty much everything, I really can't dislike Ted Nugent. He's just so charmingly out of his fucking mind.

You have to admire a man who sticks to his guns in the face of so many threats.

Here is the direct link to what the story seems to be based on: http://www.tnugent.com/news/nra_2005.shtml

I have conflicting reactions to this.
"Remember the Alamo! Shoot 'em!" he screamed to applause. "To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."

Now, I'm no fan of the Nuge's gun views, but I do agree with one aspect of his speech. He said "To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead..."
Seriously - it costs taxpayers $164,000 per year PER INMATE to house the fuckers in state prisons. I fully agree that we should instead use a bullet that costs 2 cents to rid society of child molesters, violent rapists, murderers, etc, etc. and not let them eat up literally millions of dollars only to be released a few years later to rape/kill/ruin a kid's life or whatever...

"What we have here is a repeat offender."

...but the problem is that there are way too many dumbfucks who want to "take the law into thier own hands" and that is what the Nuge is advocating.

the man is a patriot, tried and true..... and as much as i love to hate him (or hate to love him), part of me agrees with his insights..... but, like most of the time, the rational side of me understands him as most of you do..... a right-wing hothead who has more balls than brains.....

Exactly. The "no trial" part is the most fucked up part of that quote. I mean, if you shoot someone for a "carjacking", and then you find out it wasn't them, you can't exactly go back and say "Oops, my bad."

I mean, think of all the people who would have gladly shot Richard Jewell for the Atlanta Olympics bombing.

If this guy means what he says, he's an idiot. If he doesn't mean it, and he was just saying it to be shocking, he's an even bigger idiot.

ted fucking nugent is one of the most entertaining people love him or hate him. i personally dug stranglehold and cat scratch fever. hes total right wingedness not so much. the gun thing i like. i personally love guns for the sport of target practice.

but...but...he's Gee-Whiz!!

He had a weird ass surviver-esq tv show a while back.....prolly the only reality television show I ever saw that was actually entertaining.
