In this May 19, 2006 file photo, Ted Nugent performs during the opening ceremony of the National Rifle Association annual convention in Milwaukee.
The Secret Service is now set to meet with Ted Nugent tomorrow regarding his long and disturbing tirade about President Obama. The Romney campaign is saying that it never sought the endorsement of Nugent but after the rocker endorsed him in March, Romney told a radio show that “it’s been fun getting to know him, Ted Nugent…”
Back in March the Texas Tribune reported the details of how Ted Nugent endorsed Romney:
It was on a phone call with the candidate earlier today that Nugent gave his blessing. He talked to Romney by phone while he was at a sporting goods store in Michigan “celebrating the orgy of guns and ammos and bows and arrows and camouflage clothing and hunting and fishing and outdoor family supplies.”
Today, in a conference call with reporters the Romney campaign refused to answer questions relating to Ted Nugent’s remarks.
This morning Senator Jim Inhofe said that Nugent’s comments about the President are not concerning and that he was the one facing real threats: “If you want to see how you can be abused, read my book 'The Greatest Hoax' and see what Bobby Kennedy -- you know, he wanted to hang me for treason - and, so, if you want to see some real threats, you can see that,"

I like some of Nugent's music... I even posted one a few weeks ago , "Fred Bear"... But this --- gentleman --- has declared his intention to follow in the footsteps of John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald and John Hinckley, because he believes his judgement is better for this country than the "criminals" in the White House...
Nugent is no gent...
BTW,,, For any of you who may have noticed my absence the last couple of days, the wireless modem I use was out of order and had to be replaced....
YUKE.....puke=*=+++==what a looooooooooooooooser, pu6KE, FART,,,666-@#$@MD&xxx4U
David, I noticed your absence and I am glad it was not health related. David, the U of PA is having a free on-line poetry class coming this Fall. You might enjoy that. Check it out.
I think TM is upset!!!!
Well, I never heard of Nugent, but they say he was a rocker. Seems to me he's OFF HIS ROCKER NOW!!
Troll banning alert ahead. #3
TMom: I knew right away it was that crazy bird! Way to go MD!!!

Thanks, India. That was my question as well. Who IS Ted Nugent anyway? Seriously.
Ted Nugent is what this country needs! Someone who loves his country and is willing to tell it like it is. If we all just would realize that the government is just a Legalized syndicate (and where's Obama from?) we could get real honest Americans involved with politics. Instead we get Liberal media likes trying to push for the reckless way that this country is headed. Look out Greece we're not far behind........
Ted Nugent Update:
He's still an idiot.
Get real Chris! Get your head out of the sand and see what's happening here in this country! I bet you don't pay taxes either.
Nugent rocks..he has more balls then all u lefties and Horse Face Ed
Too bad he has no brains.
Or career.
Why can't the trolls ever make a comment without the slanderous names?
thanks for making me laugh Larry...you can't even put a post about other people being slanderous without calling someone a name...very funny
Troll is short for trolling.

Wow.....Dick Clark and after school American Band Stand.....when I was in high school.
God Bless.
Republicans looking for voter fraud accused him of pay-o-la
R.I.P Dick Clark
They are all dancing to 45 singles in heaven! Move over Lawrence Welk its time to rock&roll!
The funniest thing I ever saw was Dick Clark trying to interview Pink Floyd on American Bandstand.
It didn't go well.
Secret service should arrest Mr.Ted Nugent for his remarks about his secret motive to assassinate President Obama. The man is a threat to America.
He was getting an "interview" by the Secret Service today.
Sen: What he said was as about as close as you can get without making a direct threat. But what he did do is incite for violence towards the President and the democrats. Mitt and the GOP will deny he meant any harm or threats...of course! Is it time for the staff of Romney's campaign to take him aside and tell him what to say? Maybe they already did and he didn't like being told what to do by a stuffed blue collar shirt. This guy has had multiple hunting violations and is in no way a model citizen! He lives in Wacko Teaxas could this be another showdown with guns blazing!
I think he should be made to pay a visit to the White House! Oooo!
Exactly where did he say anything about assassinating President Obama? Please enlighten us on his secret motive.
Aaaah, here we go, the Zimmerman defense.
Ignorants on purpose, The same all the time. BTY who is US?
so ...in other words...AS USUAL...you can't back up your claims...just more Dummycrat talking points and lies....
It would seem that just ONCE, you guys could come up with facts to back up your claims when you are asked to. That really is expecting too much of you though...
@xxx 5.2 : I agree. This guy should be arrested or watched by secret services.
im sure you want the secret service to talk to ed schultz for threatening to rip cheneys heart out. this is far worse than what ted said. or do you just have selective outrage
You can almost hear the countdown clock ticking.
It would also be nice if, just once, when we back up our claims, you didn't go silent and disappear.
That's really expecting too much of you, though.
See?
I haven't gone anywhere...still waiting...AS USUAL
I'm thinking, because of the juvenility of your comments, you're somewhere between 18 and 22 years of age.
Am I right?
Its funny how when you can't provide facts to back up your points, you immediately turn to personal attacks. You crack me up...
You morons could'nt grasp the concept of a fact if it was explained by Mr. Rodgers.
More name calling...very mature...
Ted Pukegent is a nutcase and a washed up has-been and nothing more Also should be concerned Armed and Dangerous!!!!!!
Teetotaller Ted may be as frightened as the poor caged animals as waits for the meeting of his life! Wouldn't it be a hoot if he was given a ride with a blindfold and taken to parts unknown and than someone popped off a shot in the air. I wonder if he would start crying and pleading for his life? Ooooo I would love it! So much for my fantasies! Just have him meet face to face with the POTUS and see what he needs to say, It is so disrespectful of him and all of those who worship the ground he walks on. On the other hand our president is so mindful and well mannered as to there is no comparison of the two one a ranting idiot and the other a smart gentleman.
stormguy, all you had to do was listen to what the idiot said. Why else would he say he would be dead or in jail next year if Obama was reelcted. How about chopping off some heads this Novenber. This is nothing but inciting violence by the radical right wing nut jobs.
And when it happens, like with Gabrielle Giffords, they'll be all blank-faced stares and say "What did we have to do with it?"
Just heard that Ted was a draft dodger, went to the draft board dressed in 30 day old clothes smelling of urine and feces so that he would be rejected. Is he part of the radical militant right who dwells in the self paranoia that all right wing lunatics adhere to??
stormguy, when anyone pours gasoline to the fire, they become part of the hatred induced violence that only the right wing radicals espouse across; just like Rush, Allen West or other similar public figures that are setting-up the stage for a raging violence across america. Wake up people
I use to be a Nugent fan. That ended when I heard some of his comments regarding Obama. Nugent is Racist piece of crap just like the rest of the Republicans like Romney, Palin, Bachmann, O'Reilly, Gingrich, etc, etc, etc. It just blows my mind watching the whole lot of them lying each and every day since 2008 and the racist, hateful things they spew over the airwaves. How you people can back up these Bigoted, Racist, Hypocritical, SCUMBAGS is just disgusting.
Dastardly Speech: The violent, ugly, and filthy comments of the disgusting hard rocker right wing extremist, Ted Nugent, were WORSE than anything that was said by Rev. Wright in his sermon for which the right wing screamed critical of then candidate Obama. Wright's speech was mild in comparison to the THREATENING vitriolic speech of Nugent, a man Mr. Romney gleefully accepted as a supporter and, indeed, went to him for support.
At least the president, good human being that he is, addressed Wright's unacceptable comments, gave a speech about it and eschewed the vitriol of it. Mitt Romney sends a message of so called "civility" through an emissary. He did not even have the COURAGE not to mention courtesy to disavow what that violent, profane and repellent Nugent had to say.
I am happy that the Secret Service is investigating Nugent. They should but that a presidential contender with gravitas and class merely had an aid craft a mild note is UNFORGIVABLE and insulting to the country itself including the presidency that represents it. One should think twice before supporting this candidate-for-president, Mitt Romney. He is an unprincipled man based on how Mitt Romney handled this potentially criminal threat directed at the president of the United States by someone Romney not only accepted but his sons waxed effusive in accepting the scurrilous Nugent endorsement.
Romney is an EMBARRASSMENT to this country he says he loves. He would not know a principled thought if it stood directly in front of him. He says ONLY that which is politically expedient and changes his views more often than a chameleon sheds its skin. SHAME ON HIM for not personally and strongly rejecting Nugent's dastardly threatening comments. It shows one who the significantly better candidate is; one who hides under the table in the face of a challenging event or one who addresses it head on like the intellectually and principally superior person President Obama is.
Mitt Romney, if anything God forbid happens to our president YOU and your Republican Party of mean, racist intrinsic evil WILL be held accountable at least by the God you profess to believe in so much!
Ted Nugent is very dangerous and he has threaten the President and others in his adminstration. I hope that the secret services take this kind of language serious and prosecute.
I hope alert secret service agents wrestle him to the ground.
what is wrong with people to say such things about our presadent. thease coments from ted knugent are terable and apolling. he might be crazy but please that is no excuse for this kind of talking. right now i woulden't vote for a republican if he was the only one on the ballet!!!
Too bad Bobby Kennedy COULDN'T get him hung for treason. We wouldn't have to listen to his anti-American, racist crap now. He just thinks he's God's gift to the world.
I had a friend that worked at the PA Game Commission. Nugent would visit every year. All the women there hated him finding him an obnoxious, ignorant, conceited a-hole. All the men loved him.
I can believe that!
To denigrate Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton the way he did this guy is nothing but a bully and a big time coward. And because of this I think his ranting is nothing but idle b.s. and instead is trying to perhaps incite some other nut to do something stupid. It's like the saying went in my old neighborhood. "El perro que ladra no hace nada." Translation, never mind the barking dog for he has no bite!
If you think the things he said about Pelosi and Clinton are bad you must not have read any of the comments on this blog regarding Ann Romney
Because comments on a blog and being in front of a televised audience is exactly the same thing.
You never let reality get in the way of your propaganda, do you?
As you guys have said many a time...Freedom of speech...
we all remember bill oreilly and his rant on the now dead Dr. Tiller. "Tiller, Tiller the baby killer" oreilly pontificated night after night for months on air, enraging some wing nut to shoot this doctor in a church.
the repubs always back up their "freedom of speech". they think it is OK under the umbrella of free speech to call Sandra Fluke a "slut", and to say other horrible and disrespectful things about her and women in general. they think under the umbrella of free speech it is OK to lie about the democratic congress and say the they are communists.
they defend george zimmerman for killing a teenager armed with a bag of skittles and iced tea.
they are all about what is "legal", what is the law.
well, abortion is legal, isn't it?
Yes it is, did you hear me say anything about it?
Suzette...have you read the comments on this blog about Romney? I am not saying it is right from either side. It is like dealing with a bunch of 5 year olds.
He did it first...no she did it first...well he said something worse...well she took away my candy.
Both sides need to grow up.
Natalie Rosen- I admire your elaborate statement about Ted, but to put it bluntly, what you said can be put into just a few words; Ted and Romney have no Balls and blind to the truth!!!
Thank you, Eduardo. I agree with your easier to read statement! :)
This idiot is clearly a WHACK JOB!!!! Nevertheless, he must be watched.....
you all are so blind while yes he probably should not have said it the way he did, but what about the black panthers calling for seas of blood in the streets? what about louis farican saying that in a few days our leaders are going to be killed? your so willing to jump in TED for saying chop there heads of at the polls but you wont denounce any violent rhetoric on the left. Wake up and stop following the media blindly!!!!! Do your home work!!! God bless the founding fathers and god bless america!!!!
by the way Ted NUg for pres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey nugent, ever been "water boarded"? Watch your back, Americas Secret Service at your door. This is better than "Desperate Housewives".
nugent quit bathing and purposely deficated and urinated in his pants to avoid being drafted i dont think theres much chance of that patriot getting waterboarded
this is perfectly in line with what the repubs believe. they LOVE the IDEA of war and guns, but they don't want to go to war, and they don't want their children to go to war. war is for people who are desperate enough to enlist because they need the money, they need a job.
the ACTUAL fighting is for people without influence and money.
wow your stupid 70% of the miltary is conservitive
Trayvon Martin was killed by a law the NRA. is directly responsible (stand your ground) in passing in Florida and in 28 or so other states. Like the Tobacco and the Alcoholic Beverage Industries, I believe the NRA should be held responsible for this kid's death.I also believe the parents of this child should be able to SUE the NRA. The NRA should be held responsible for any and all deaths that have taken place by this ridiculous and stupid law created by the NRA and an investigation should take place immediatly. As a gun owner I don't believe anybody should belong to a club, this is pure Bragadoccio on the part of this CLUB, and only shows how ignorant the people of this country have become, in supporting it. It's time this CLUB is brought to a stop for good, no different than the KKK was brought down by the Southern Poverty Law............
Ok, AGAIN....TED NOBODY IS A NON-MF FACTOR! who cares about an INBREED LOSER! He probably cant even vote for anyone! Why even give idiots like that any attention? He probably best friends with Mel Gibsons mental a**! If Romney wants to be associated, affiliated or represented my that whack job, he need not Rep the United States and IF he does, i hope he REMEMBERS what the peoples concers are!!!! Freedom of speech is one thing but pollution is another and Ted NOBODY has diarrhea if the mouth! Never in my history have I EVER seen it OK to disrespect the PRESIDENT until President Obama got in office! What type of society does that? President Bush didn't do S--t but screw up and now that an EDUCATED, INTELLIGENT MAN OF COLOR has to clean up his "miss haps" people want to attack him and disrespect him!?! IMBECILES! WHO ELSE REALLY WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT AFTER THAT OTHER THAN SOMEONE WHO BELIEVED IN AMERICA!?! It should not
matter if the PRESIDENT was GREEN, PURPLE OR PINK! Instead of being worried who is going to be the next president, we need to watch how these other countries are WATCHING how the president is being disrespected/treated and pray they don't use that against us!
