michaelr: I do not know who you mean by "our gun-totin' friends." If it's me, I toted a gun once and was willing to die for you although I didn't know you or that I was willing to do so at the time. It just would have happened.

I no longer have rifles, but I have access to some. What I am not is afraid of rifles or people who carry them, unless they are my enemy.

The gun-totin' people I know tote them, they use them for the procurement of food and don't and likely wouldn't know how to shoot a person. The thought is always how to save the most meat, and shot meat tastes like shit.

For some reason this NRA crap raises its head now and then and folks go all nutso. Look, you likely have a hammer. You use it to drive nails. When you decide to use it to drive your neighbour it becomes a weapon. Until then, it's just a hammer.

In order to appreciate the total absurdity of this situation, you must remember that Ted Nugent was a guest star on The Simpson's Season 23 Episode 10 this past January. He ran for President.

In other words-the featured speaker at the NRA's national convention in this Presidential election year was not a man who was actually running for President, it was a man who ran for President on a cartoon show.

Correct, Jack. That's why I don't think the NRA's agenda is about hunting.

But it does appear that they presume to speak for all gun owners. I know there are gun owners and pro-gun folks on this forum, -- whom I affectionately referred to as "our gun-totin' friends" -- and I wonder how they feel about that.

999, I am not talking about war-time, combat situations. I'm concerned about what happens when that hammer acquires a lobby powerful enough to force legislation that enables it to nail anybody, anywhere.

To me, there is a fine line between free speech and incitement to violence. When a person talks about the "vile, evil, America-hating administration", calls Ms Pelosi "subhuman",and says he "will be either in jail or dead" if Obama wins re-election, it comes awfully close to screaming FIRE!in a theatre.

Ever hear of a nail gun?

I guess I fit as a "gun-totin' friend" even though I almost always have no more than a 1-inch pocket knife blade on me. But it's on a Swiss Army thing and I could trim your mustache or something with the scissors.

Yes, I enjoy shooting targets. For a period in my life those targets were people, but I haven't even shot at anyone in, oh, just years and years and years. Even out here in the Wild West there ain't no more than six or eight shoot-outs per day and never has been more'n that.

The question is simple: Why would I need to carry a firearm if another weapon (a nicely sharpened pencil, for instance) would do, not make a lot of noise, and be much more inconspicuous?

Ted Nugent has his opinions and I have mine. If he's obsessed with the Old West he knows little about it, which is the case with most folks, there are books available which will enlighten him.

Hollywood and the media have given cowboys and other settlers a very bad name.

Yeah, I tote guns, and I got a comment.

I wanna thank Ted Nugent. Why? Well, fer this reason: He makes every APP candidate and campaign worker look like a friggin' genius in comparison! Even the gorillas, includin' the really violent ones that eat their beer cans for entertainment after drinkin' the beer. I am sooooo glad he is with the Republicans, and not with us, cos it makes us look sooooo good! Ook! Ook! Yessir, this Ted Nugent character may just be the longlost missin' link. Not the one that connects human beings upward to apes and monkeys. No, not that one. The one that connects human beings downwards to garden slugs. LOL! I LOVE it that this whackjob is workin' for one of the 2 big parties! Go get 'em, Ted. Say some more really dumb things. Don't hold back, okay?

Now if only Obama would say a few things as dumb or even dumber as what Ted Nugent is sayin'. If only. That would guarantee an APP victory in November. Maybe a clean sweep. Obama has just gotta lose his mind between now and then for us to clinch the win.

I am prayin' for it. To Kong, of course. I got my fingers crossed. Maybe if Obama was to listen to a whole lot of old heavy metal music, that would do it. That stuff kills brain cells. I'm gonna send him some as a campaign contribution. I'm gonna send him the greatest hits of Ozzie Osbourne, Poison, Megadeath, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, and finally the piece de resistance: Ted Nugent. I hope this plan works real good by November.

p.s. The NRA imagines that their agenda is basically about the constitutional right of self-defence and the right to bear arms, as it was originally written in the Constitution. And they are dead serious about that. As for huntin', that would be a way secondary issue in their minds, so of course it's not primarily about huntin'. And, yeah, they DO think they speak for ALL gun owners, and obviously they don't....just like Obama and Romney think they speak for ALL Americans...and obviously, they don't. It is the conceit of all kinds of people in politics to think they speak for all kinds of people they don't speak for. For instance, I useta think I spoke for all Italian barbers! I was naive. There are Italian barbers out there who wouldn't vote fer me if I slipped them $1000 bucks on the sly and promised to move the Leanin' Tower of Pisa to Washington Square and make lasagna the national dish of America. Some of them hate me, in fact! This has taught me humility. I now know that I DON'T speak for all Italian barbers, and probably not even for all Polish grocers or Greek restaurant owners or Irish pimps. And I can take it, cos I don't need their damn votes to win if they don't like me! I'm gonna do it without 'em!

This is somethin' most other candidates don't have the guts to say. They try to suck up to everyone and pretend they speak for all kinds of people who in truth most likely can't stand 'em. Not this ape. NO sir. I know who my enemies are, and I ain't scared of 'em, and I ain't gonna pretend like I'm their good buddy just to scrounge up a vote or two. If I can't win by puttin' ALL my cards on the table, and makin' my real intentions plain, then I don't want the friggin' job!

Who said it was analogous? I'm just sayin' that not all of 'em would vote fer me, that's all, even if they was Irish pimps. And I said it, not Little Hawk! Little Hawk ain't runnin' fer office, okay? I am. I was makin' a point that a candidate should not just assume that EVERYONE in a certain identifiable minority or constituency (like Italian barbers or Irish pimps or one-eyed brain surgeons) is automatically on his side...coz they ain't. Trust me on this. There is always someone who don't meet the common standard of behavior. For instance, most gunsmiths and gun shop owners in the greater Dallas area favor my candidacy, coz it would increase their business if I get elected. But there is at least one who don't. I know this coz he's been sendin' me death threats in the mail and email. His name is Logan P. Whistledog, and he hates me on account of I knocked out his front teeth one time in a bar fight after he called me a "damn monkey". He says he wouldn't vote fer me now if I made everyone in America buy 10 of his guns a year. He is gonna vote fer Romney instead, even though Romney probably won't increase his gun sales in any significant fashion.

You follow my reasonin' here? You gotta learn some humility to avoid makin' these grandiose assumptions of entitlement like you get from people like Ted Nugent, Mitt Romney, and Barack Obama, to mention a few...soundin' off like they are speakin' for everyone in the USA! They ain't. They should own up to that.

Long ago Nugent related a story to an interviewer for a magazine whose name I can't remember, about what he did to get a 4F rating so he wouldn't get inducted into the Army and possibly go to Vietnam. Since then I've looked for the article but have been unable to find it. Perhaps it was Rolling Stone.

Suffice it to say it was disgusting the lengths he went to, to stay out of the Army. This from a guy who now supposedly is so 'patriotic.' His recent comments, like a lot of stunts today (e.g., Limbaugh's 'slut' comment) are just a ploy for (media) attention.

"If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year,"

I don't see that as stating an opinion by definition. Bill characterized it as an "almost threat". I suppose Nugent could turn around and say, "I meant that I would either kill myself in disgust, or get arrested for screwing a goat in front of the White House in protest". But he knows full well that that isn't what he was feeding his audience.
I think I've mentioned a personal situation from years ago here before. I had just moved to a new apartment in Chicago. A mental case on the same floor would come out in the hallway at all hours of the night and shout total nonsense. Then one night the rant was, "I'm going to kill someone, and they won't be able to do anything about it, because I have the power of God in me, and you can't mess with God." I never knew for a fact what the guy was actually capable of, but I went to the police. (As things turned out, relatives of the man came to visit by chance and they got him committed).

Nugent Probably doesn't have the guts to do anything but spew crap. But with a guy crazy enough to make that speech, who wants to take bets?

I wouldn't be so worried about what Ted Nugent himself might do...but more about the fact that he is pretty clearly inciting other people to commit acts of violence and insurrection (in this case toward the Obama administration).

The USA is more and more taking on the character of a society that is drifting toward (a second) civil war. People like Ted Nugent remind me quite a bit of people like John Brown back in the early 1860s. They anticipate an armed conflict, and they seem eager for one. They are fueled, like John Brown, by a messianic sense of their own moral righteousness and the supposed absolute evil of those they oppose politically. This is, to some extent, true on both sides of the American political divide, but its more wacky ranters are generally found on the Right (if they are White)...although there also are a few Black people on the Left who appear to fit the equation. In either case, they are implying the use of armed violence as a solution.

In either case, they are absolutely certain that they are fighting against forces of absolute evil, and that the time will come for violent acts of patriotic "self-defence" against those forces. This is equally delusional thinking, regardless of which camp it's coming from, the Left or the Right.

That doesn't mean it can't happen, though. If it does begin to happen, the USA government will undoubtedly declare martial law, deploy troops and other security forces across the nation, and arrest a whole lot of people. And after that? Hard to say just how far it might go...

Ted Nugent is one of the people who are trying hard to open Pandora's box. Let's hope they don't succeed.

Remember: To those people, Barack Obama is the moral and political equivalent of Adolf Hitler or Satan. They really believe that about Obama. They hate him at least as much as most "liberals" here hate George Bush or Rush Limbaugh. They think he's the enemy of all that is American. Because they think that way, it would be a patriotic action in their eyes to engage in some violent acts against Obama or his administration. And they are serious about it.

Ted Nugent obviously thinks that way, and so do a lot of the guys in the crowd who are nodding their heads grimly as they listen to him. It isn't just a question of keeping an eye on Ted Nugent, but on anyone who might be willing and ready to follow the suggestions he is very clearly handing out to them. He isn't just talking about voting for Romney. He is implying an armed insurrection if Romney doesn't win.

It doesn't take much to start a war. One little spark can start it, just like a fire. But it's very difficult to stop a war once it is underway.

Nugent would have stood to the side and cheered the brownshirts on but wouldn't have had the guts to join them. Don't give him more credit than he deserves.

Funny, I'm not anywhere near as patriotic as Nugey and I don't own a gun but I did 6 years in the military (including a stint in the Persian Gulf) and nobody drafted me. If I can do it, why can't he?

The idea of a numbnut like him condemning me for criticizing America when he never had the cajones to serve his country is amusing. I earned my right to say whatever the fuck I want. If he doesn't like it, he's free to leave the country that I, but not he, served.

Thank god, he's out of the Detriot area and hopefully will never pollute this region again with his presence. As Bobert said, the guy has been a colossal asswipe since his Amboy Duke days. And he has not grown old gracefully. Russ Gibb, one of the true heroes of the Detroit music scene, totally hates him for attacking the Grande Ballroom as a den for drug addicts. He's such a pussy, Patti Smith kicked his ass live on the radio once. He was being interviewed when Smith showed up. Nugent said, "We knew you were coming, Patti, we could smell you all the way down Eight Mile." Smith yelled, "Fuck you, Nugent!" and you hear the sounds of an ass-kicking going on. The DJ (whom I think was Jerry Lubin) cuts to some commercials. When they came back on the air, Lubin said, "Boy, she was sure mad, wasn't she?" To which Nugent replied in a strangely subdued and quiet voice, "It's a good thing she's a chick or I would have thrown her through the plate glass door." Grrrrrr! IOW she kicked his ass.

Lastly, we need not peruse his songs for evidence of his womanizing, chauvinistic character--just look at his life. He has cheated on every woman he ever got involved with. His own daughter hates him. Remember that hot Hawaiian girl he shacked up with? She was underage, so Nugey officially adopted her so he could fuck her underage brains out without going to prison (where he'd instantly be made someone's bitch). Then, tiring of her, he cheated on her openly causing her to leave him and his daughter to turn against him.

You can tell that even the Romney people are embarrassed to have this dickhead on their side--but he's their's.

I knew him years ago because we occasionally played the same venues as the Amboy Dukes. I can tell you a couple things--

You probably know this, but the "Motor City Madman" routine is a comedy act--based on pro wrestlers like "Classy Fred Blassie" and "Randy "Macho Man" Savage. He knows what people expect from him and he always puts on a good show, whether it's for the NRA, or on The Simpsons, or at Cobo Arena.   Also true, MCM is kind of a caricature of himself.

Next, he wasn't an acid head, ever. "Journey to the Center of the Mind" was a concept that came from the record company, he didn't want to do that kind of music.

He's a republican because he's a businessman. He doesn't really like politicians, and he doesn't think much of anyone who takes what he says seriously.

Nugent has been a squirrly asshole for decades - this shouldn't surprise anyone.

Also - he's going on tour this summer...running your mouth off is a good way to get back in the public eye and sell some tickets.

Are you saying that HE says he is a Republican because he is a business man? If so, that is just one more stupid thing from his mouth.

I'm not defending Ted. I am just telling you what he's about. Becca72 has it exactly right--this is all great publicity for his tour. He's always known exactly how people are going to react to what he does and says, and he takes full advantage of it.

Don't kid yourselves, he made out like a bandit here-album sales are climbing, he's got a big tour planned, and there will be a lot more personal appearances. And I am sure he wants you keep this thread running as long as possible.

But, saying that his actual intention was nothing more than getting publicity: out of any substantial number of people who would actually react favorably to this level of poisonous rant, I really think there would be at least someone vulnerable to one more nudge toward
violent action.

I hope the meeting with the Secret Service goes as follows.

"Yes."

"We have booked you a stop in Guantanamo. Pack for an indefinite stay."

Don't bet on it, Jack. Read this and weep-Ted Nugent had "Solid" meeting with Secret Service

This quote says it all:

"Good, solid, professional meeting concluding that I have never made any threats of violence towards anyone. The meeting could not have gone better," the 63-year-old singer and guitarist said. He was due to perform a concert in Ardmore, Oklahoma on Thursday.

It seems to be his habitual way of life to run off at the mouth like that, LEJ. He also seems to think that the Secret Service are lovely people, and are his natural allies in the fight against whatever he imagines he's fighting against. Somehow, that doesn't surprise me. After all, he does think he's among "the good guys", right? And that he's defending American values. Find me an American who doesn't think that he is among "the good guys who are defending American values", and I'll find you a 3-legged chicken and a nice set of hen's teeth. ;-)

LH and LEJ: regarding three-legged chickens. A buddy of mine raised them near Leduc, Alberta. When I asked why, he said because his wife, son and he all liked legs. I then asked what they tasted like. He said he didn't know because they'd been unable to catch one.

Nugent and his kind are a danger. But freedom of speech is an overarching value in this country. I hope that if Obama is re-elected it is with a better VP than Biden. Personally I think that Biden and Hillary Clinton should swap jobs.

That may not happen, because Chongo is presently negotiating with Hillary to become his vice presidential candidate. That's Chongo for you...he knows quality when he sees it. I asked him about Biden.
