Ted Nugents a racist republican

Nugent rocks ’n’ rattles GOP at gov’s inaugural​

Singer sports Confederate flag T-shirt and machine guns at Texas gala



AUSTIN, Texas - Hours after Gov. Rick Perry kicked off his second full term in office, Ted Nugent helped him celebrate at a black-tie gala. But some attendees treated the show by the “Cat Scratch Fever” rocker like an infection.
Using machine guns as props, Nugent, 58, appeared onstage as the final act of the inaugural ball wearing a cutoff T-shirt emblazoned with the Confederate flag and shouting offensive remarks about non-English speakers, said people who attended.
Perry’s spokesman, Robert Black, downplayed the Tuesday night incident.

“Ted Nugent is a good friend of the governor’s. He asked him if he would play at the inaugural. He didn’t put any stipulation (on) what he would play,” Black said.
Others said the appearance was inappropriate.
“I think it was a horrible choice,” GOP strategist Royal Masset said. “I hope nobody approved it.”
Nugent, a hunting and gun-rights advocate, couldn’t be reached for comment Thursday because he was hunting, a spokeswoman said.
The guitarist — known as the “Motor City Madman” — lived in Michigan most of his life before moving to Crawford, Texas, in 2003. He is famed for the 1977 hit “Cat Scratch Fever.”
News of Nugent’s appearance drew criticisms from civil-rights leaders.
“Whenever someone sports the Confederate battle flag, many Texans will be offended, and rightly so, because of what it symbolizes — the enslavement of African-Americans and more recently the symbol of hate groups and terrorists,” said Gary Bledsoe, president of the Texas chapter of the NAACP.

I don't think Ted is a racist by any means. However, I lost respect for him after his insensitive/assholish comments about the late Dimebag Darrell.

Ted being a Republican is nothing new at all. He's always maintained his conservative beliefs during the 80's, 90's, and into the new millenium as well. Whether or not he's a racist is complete conjecture on my part. I truly don't believe he is, however, after his comments about Dimebag my respect for him has gone down in a huge manner.

Why does it seem like people interested in politics read/post articles just to piss themselves off?

yeah, Confederate flags that are symbolic of a tacit agreement with slavery are nothing.

Dime used to play the guitar that was specially made as a confederate flag model. But in all seriousness, I don't get upset about the confederate flag at all.

For some people it is about their heritage and the south in general. In any case, Ted being a Republican is nothing new at all.

funny thing is Ted Jugent said in a documentary "I think religion is good for three things. Pissing and moaning, starting wars, and a whole lotta nothing else."
Perfect example of how being an atheist does not make a person exempt from having dangerous beliefs.

Why anybody would support the right to own a machine gun is beyond me. Certain kinds of guns should be illegal, including machine guns.

Anything that fires more than 2 bullets in a second, should not be sold to the public. Nugent if a true *****e never liked him. Never will.

 

[Jerry]

I find him funny. I think we need people in the world like him to be entertained.

The Confederate flag is not meant to represent slavery and racism. The Confederate flag is a symbol of Southern heritage to the states that fought on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War and those that died fighting for it. It's a symbol of states' rights which the Confederacy beleived in.

It's also a flag many honorable men died trying to bring down. (And keep flying, to be sure)

The flag at one time represented that, but since the KKK, & Skinnies decided to use it as there symbol. It has evolved into a symbol of hatred.

You can keep telling your self that it represents the south. You are wrong.

 

[Addendum]

For some.

I find the confederate flag to be perfect for depositing ****.

For some people it represents the South, just because some moronic toothless redneck hicks use it for hatred doesn't mean it means hatred.

Jackasses have used it for that particular purpose misunderstanding what it means. It was not meant for that purpose and should be treated as such. Not the symbol that the KKK and American Nazis have treated it as.

wearing a confederate flag does not make you racist

+3

That was a jacked up thing to say about a dead guy.

 

[Tyrinus]

Nugent's hilarious.

 

[Kritish]

Ted isn't racist, he just wanted to get a reaction.

 

[unstoppable]

Listen this

doesn't mean your racist or your a nazi


this does

STOP CONFUSING THE TWO!!!!

 

[Kritish]

The Civil war started over slavery, the people that say otherwise are simply wrong. Not everyone that sports a Confederate flag NOW is a racist.

 

[tzarinna]

I'm offended by both.

 

[Kritish]

I'm offended by both.

When I see a Confederate flag I shake my head and think "That there is a hick dwelling on the past."

When I see a Nazi flag I want to kick their ass.

 

[Ben Urich]

I can't think of Ted Nugent without thinking about that line in Ocean's 11.
"Ted Nugent called. He wants his shirt back."

 

[Kritish]

Like I said before, Ted isn't a racist. He's just trying to get a reaction, think of this as trolling in the real life.

It was started over states rights...learn your history.
