In this file photo Ted Nugent screams for a photo at his ranch near Crawford, Texas, Friday, April 22, 2005.
Ted Nugent officially went off the deep end this weekend while stumping for Mitt Romney and some of his remarks have prompted a secret service investigation. In a radio interview at the NRA convention Nugent told the crowd that they should be able to get “a couple of thousand votes per person who’s here to vote for Mitt Romney in November.” (good luck with that)
Then the hard rocker shifted focus to a tirade of lies about our government and the Obama administration. “If you don’t know our government is wiping it’s a** with the constitution you're living under a rock some place”. He went on to call the President a criminal and said “if Barack Obama becomes the President in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year” and “we’ll be a suburb of Indonesia”.
Now, the Same guy who held up a machine gun on stage at a concert in 2007 and said "hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these, you punk,” called for heads to roll. “Remember we’re Americans because we defied the King, we didn’t negotiate and compromise with the King, we defied the emperors we are patriots, we are brave heart, we need to ride into that battle field and chop their heads off in November.”
Nugent certainly has long history of Inflammatory remarks and these will just be added to the list.
The Romney campaign has been slow to respond to Nugent’s remarks even though they were quick to pounce all over Hillary Rosen’s comments last week. Today, Romney Spokeswoman Andrea Saul did not condemn Nugent outright but released a statement saying, "Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from. Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil…"

One loser support another loser. Your just can't make this stuff up really.
Unfortunately ppl like this r coming out of their closet - closet racists.
i see you have no problem with ed saying he wants to rip cheneys heart out. this is far worse than what nugent said. why didnt obamas secret service respond to this death threat? because pmsnbc is an arm of the obama admin. its very clear. so spare me your selective outrage. its obvious you are just a ed schultz lemming who refuses to challenge him when he makes a death threat.
shhhhh Ed will have a prime directive sent out to all radio stations boycotting their sponsors if any one of them plays some Cat Scratch Fever. Then the witch hunt for anyone who owns a Nugent album or Cd. See it works like this, you can think any way you want or say anything about anyone including Women, as long as its against a Republican. Ed seems to think spewing hatred towards republican women or politicians is ok, even wishing to rip their heart out. where's the right asking for sponsors to pull out from MSNBC or the Washington Post? Maybe because its entertaining to watch Ed turn beet red during his tirades..take some lisinopril ed..you may last another year or two.
good post. ed, maddow, tamron hall, airhead andrea mitchell, and my favorite dumbest man on tv odonnell and others on pmsnbc are the reason #1fox news destroys them in the ratings.
Yes it is funny that they were all over the comment about working moms but strangly quite about choping heads off. It's sad people but I think we have come to a point of no return. Somone like Nuggent saying crazy things at a gun rally is not good. When we start talking about choping heads off and taking people out makes me afriad for America as we know it.
Which is worse sara palin, or nugggent having a part in your campaign. Class!
Hi T-Mom,
Both are shameful racist and classless. However, Sara wins may vote for the worst or the worst.
Thankful Mom, Terrible Ted may not have ever done drugs, but I'm not so sure about his parents.
Ted Nugent is a mediocre guitarist at best. The guy sucks as a musician. Dead or in jail by November? How nice of him to give us a choice!
I vote for death by one of those bullets he is so fond of. I would gladly let him have it.
medicore guitarist at best? you apparently have no clue what talent is. As for his comments? uncalled for just as yours was..( How nice of him to give us a choice)..If this was anyone else speaking of a republican, schultz and you would be salavitating and laughing at the comment. and that..is what is wrong with Political hacks who do commentary on a cable news show..its blasphomeny if its against his or her opinion, but its gospel if its for their agenda...sad.
@Bill Morin......One undeserved comment deserves another, I always say. As for guitar playing, I'll say this.....I've seen many of the greats perform in my 58 years on this earth. I've seen Nugent twice in concert. He is way, way down the ladder.
Bill Moron - If you think Ted is a good musician then that just says it all but pick a lane! Roast a lady for stating a fact that MItt's wife hasn't worked a day in her life but be quite when we ride in November and chop peoples heads off!
Stay hot Morin
There are more of those kind of freaks than the rest of us would like to believe. They are such self fulfilling profits of their own doom. I will always defend our right to own guns, but if someone on my block were out there screaming such things, yeah I'd probably want to take away their guns, and I would think they needed to be put in jail for encouraging harm to Pres Obama and members of the administration.
I NEVER, EVER liked Ted Nugent and now I know why! He is just, plain scum.
Teddy Nugent - What a neanderthal. On 2nd thought ... my apologies to the neanderthals.
AMEN !!!!!!! HE'S A MORRRRRRRRRRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking and listening to people like this is what makes me wish I would have been a consiensious objector and not served in Vietnam. To think I wasted my time for something like this.
can't Ted Nugent be arreseted for his comments, I mean were they not threats. This is the way these hate mongers are. All they are doing is spreading a deep. bigoted remarks against Obama and nobody does anything.
right after Ed schultz is in front of the line. he holds the bar on hate speech. But if your ok with anything against Republicans and republican politicians/ Presidents then your heart is carrying alot of weight.
The great hunter has said in the past that he crapped his pants for a week to avoid the draft during Vietnam. What a great American. I rate him with Sarah Palin. The opinion of either one of them has as much value as what he left in his pants.
Next year Ted should be dead cause he's not right in the head.
ted nugent, hank williams, jr., and the rest of you hate mongers, how fortunate you can have your "say" in this country of ours, I lost some good buddies in Viet-Nam, just so pieces of crap like you can have a voice in democracy. Think you "hot @!$%#"? try opening your mouth in China, Iran, North Korea, got "balls"?, don't think so. Go back to sleep.
If Nugent is out of this society by spring next year, all too cool. BTW, I'd love to see credible, reputable proof on his assertions of the Supreme Court Justices and the proof of criminality of President Obama and the Cabinet Secrataries. Ted, you're talking out your back-side just because you have a mic, an audience, and an over-active bigotry issue. Post your proofs on-line.
I look forward to Obama's re-election.
Does anyone really care what Ted Nugent thinks?
Ted Nugent thinks? From his comments it seems to me that it's quite the opposite. He is a washed up has been who never was still trying to be relevant.
Some men buy fancy expensive cars as their manhood extensions,people like Nugent buy the biggest guns they can find.
Working Mom, I don't give a rats butt what this slime thinks, it's what he says is at issue. A whole lot of nut jobs in the woods with their generators running watching TV and taking all of this "hate" as gospel. How sad for America that we are going down this back woods moonshine road to oblivion.
The Secret Service", I believe, let him off easy, hope he is on the "watch list".
Please put this man in jail. Hilary Rosen need to retract her apology. Ms. Rosen's statement is not bad compared to what this man is saying. He is too much of a coward to do anything to the President but he will incite others to do it for him and Romney is upholding this garbage.
What he said is basically what the tea baggers stand for. I smelled these people out a long time ago. They are narrow minded, racist and gun loving individuals who use patriotism as a gimmick to sucker people into their movement and to stir up the storm troopers. Their views are extremist, they are the American version of the Taliban.
We must say no to the 3r's: rednecks, Republicans and Romney
as MSNBC does to spread fear. edit Video soundbites to stir things up
Wow, ignorance has to be bliss
Ted is trying to somebody when he's nobody wearing a different type of hoodie. He needs to do the world a favor a crawl back under the rock from which he came. He will NEVER be HALF the man President Obama is! WHO CARES WHAT HAPPENS TO TED AFTER/IF/WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA IS REELECTED!?!No one cared who he is/was for YEARS so WHY care now!?!? People like this are the reason this world is on a straight path to hell! We ALL have problems! What makes this HAS BEEN and others, have the audacity to make comments like that about the PRESIDENT and think it's OK? Would they have done these things if the President were Caucasian? Just like that idiot who yelled out he's a liar, then the "Political Figure" put her finger in his face when he got off the airplane, then the Governor of "Oklahoma" didn't go and meet the PRESIDENT when he was there....the disrespect because of his color is a PURE example of hate and IGNORANT PEOPLE who call themselves Children of God ( God
doesn't judge nor hate by the way nor is he prejudice!) All the political parties need to realize WE ALL
have a common goal, THIS IS THE UNITED STATES, there is only ONE...instead of acting like LITTLE KIDS wanting to play King Of the Mountain, they should all work together, put race (almost impossible for the ignorant ones) and political party as well as financial status aside...THE WORLD IS BIGGER THAN THEY ARE!
This reminds of the Tuscon shooting. You had people on the right, inciting violence although they would deny it. Examples were Angle's 2nd Amendment remedies and Palin's targets on a map. You know the rest. Now with this Nugent thing we definitely have our share of nutcases that will take this literally. Now granted security for a President is 100 times that of a Congress person. However this makes that whole Secret Service kerfuffle in Columbia that more damaging in my opinion. I don't think anything violent will happen and hope it won't but we'll have to wait and see.
Did you know that Ted Nugent was a draft dodger? He crapped and peed in his pants for a week. He also was sued for not paying child support for his children. He puts everyone else down just to deflect his own short comings as a man. i don't why the Right listens to him. I guess a Chicken Hawk doesn't fly to far from the flock.
Ohhhhh! Almost forgot Iowa Senator GrASSley! First of all, this man had the nerve to call President Obama stupid......well, according to his tweets, he can't read run! He needs to Retire before he cause damage...he needs to focus on literacy instead of what Romney is wearing and ESPECIALLY what President Obama is doing because he can't keep up!
They managed to manufacture an outrage over what Rosen said but where is the outrage now? Allen West should be denounced for his statement calling 81 members of Congress as being communists.
Ted is no threat to POTUS ... Teddy is a nut-job (and apparently getting nuttier my the hour), but he's not a threat.
Probably not, but the rest of the "nut jobs" who listen to his garbage is the true threat.
To hear you libs talk you would think Ted is running for President,on second thought compared to what we got,hmmmmmm
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Ted is just scum and talks trash........but he needs to be helded accountable for making hateful threats. Other than that he has no value.
