Ted Nugents a racist republican

[Spider-Bite]

it means whatever it means to the person sporting it. if the bat symbol strangley became known for wanting to take away women's right to vote, i would still wear my batman tee shirt...because i like batman and f**k everyone else and what they think i mean by wearing it. all i'm saying is, you can't say a person is racist for wearing the confederate flag, you can think they're insensitive and maybe socially ******ed, but that's another story

yes but you would know ahead of time that it stands for Batman the comic book character, and so would everybody else. It would be obvious to everybody what you were promoting, which is why you would have no problem doing it. He knew that sporting the confederate flag at a political event would promote racism.

If the bat symbol stood for anti-women's rights, chances are Bruce Wayne wouldn't have chosen the bat for his persona.

you see my point? symbols are like words. They have a meaning, and that meaning is known to all. You know what people will think based on what you say to them. You wouldn't call somebody a hor unless you intended to insult them. The confederate flag is the same way. He wouldn't have sported it, unless he intended for people to assume he was a racist. And he is. This was a political event. He knew what it would mean and what it would stand for. he knows how offensive it is, and that was his intention.

it means whatever it means to the person sporting it

okay I just decided that "kill all americans" actually means "love all americans" and anybody who is offended by my saying it is simply incorrect.

you see the ridiculous logic in that? It means what we know it means, and we know what our actions will mean to people when we choose those actions.

 

[Kritish]

Whatever, I never really like Ted Nugent anyways.

 

[Mike_D202]

I work security at our casino, and I worked his concert last summer. Hes psychotic. Your ever see those movies where theres a redneck wearing camo-gear with machine guns in a trailer in the middle of the woods? yea thats him.

 

[hippie_hunter]

People that wish the Confederates had won are unamerican.
Let's leave it at that.

 

[Mr Sparkle]

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.

right, right, and the swastika is just a Buddhist good luck charm.
sorry.

 

[Kritish]

sorry.

Well said.

 

[hippie_hunter]

sorry.

Technically it is. But the Nazi swastika and the Hindu/Buddhist swastika are two different swastikas

The Nazi swastika looks as if you turned it a tad bit clockwise.

I'm not denying that the Confederate flag can be used to represent slavery and racism. It has obviously been used for those purposes. But the true meaning of it, is what I stated. The fight for states rights, Southern culture, and Confederate soldiers who fought in the Civil War.

yes, yes, all nice and pretty, all of this I knew already, besides Hitler himself accepted being inspired by that little thing to make his little symbol.
you kind of made my point.
the Sawstika, the German cross was not meant as an emblem for Jewish destruction. It was originally a call for Nationalism, unification, a strong country through hard work and....uh....a little genocide.
true meanings aside, I'm sure that many, many people, not the least portion of them black will still find the confederate flag offensive.
and Ted's an asshat for using it.
so , yeah, My point is "**** Ted Nugent" use a deer antler to sodomize him, give him a little cat scratch fever right up his anus.
he is at best a freaking/tactless idiot if he didn't mean to offend anyone, and at worst a racist blithering dellusional moron if he did.

so, to recap, **** Ted Nugent with a deer antler.

that is all.

yeah we know that. that's why people are upset by it. It stood for the state's right to have slavery, their southern culture of slavery, and soldiers who fought for slavery in the civil war. Your argument is like saying that the term Jihad only stands for muslim culture. It doesn't take away from the evil ness of it, because these things stand for disgraceful parts of the culture.

 

[Victarion]

Well, I do not think that the Confederate Flag is racist at all. It is merely a symbol of heritage & history. Hell, I've seen...(and I DO NOT intend this to sound racist at all), a fellow african american at a Lynrd Skynrd concert, decked out in Skynrd memorabellia, such as said Flag.

The point is, there are bigger problems out there than some spat over a relic from the past, a piece of history. Let's deal with them first. Then if we're bored, we can start arguing over flags.

America sucks!!! lol

Slavery was not an integral part of Southern culture. It was an integral part of the Southern economy, but not its culture. Only the really rich in the Southern states had slaves, and the really rich formed a small part of the population. Southern culture included the plantation owners, the poor white-trash hillbilly farmer, the black slaves, and others. Yes, Southern culture was extremely racist, but so was the North.

The Confederacy fought against the Union as a big f-you to what they saw as, the government overstepping its bounds. The Union fought to Confederacy to preserve itself, not to free the slaves.

 

[Darthphere]

Didn;t you know Spain's flag represents all the Jews they killed.

 

[jaguarr]

Hahaha! I hope Nugent got paid for his appearance. Anyone who takes him seriously as anything more than a musician and a sh1t-stirrer needs to just take a break from the human race.

Seriously, have these people seen the dude?

 

[Dorian Gray]

Funny how people get riled up over the most insignificant things these days....

Honestly, do we really care about Ted Nugent?

 

[Mr Sparkle]

was the argument about caring?
I thought it was about whether he was racist or not?
I think very few people cared about Ted Nugent post 1981

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.

Racist republican?

Oxymoron?

To be honest I don't care if he is or he isn't but somehow I don't think sporting Confederate/Rebel Flag automaticly makes one a racist....maybe a Hick

well, it wasn't just that.
Teddy kind of has a history of being slightly right of center. so as far as his Republican status , well, I guess it's kind of a given.
and he has always had a certain....dislike for all them foreigners.
coupled with the T-shirt...well, I'm guessing something is there.
since he is 58 . I'm guessing not for much longer.

 

[comicgirl]

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.

one good thing could come from that........someone could get Nugent on one of those "hunting farms", give him a 10 min head start and see how well the trigger mech. works

Well, the Nuge is a bit of a whack job

REO Speedwagon are fascists!

 

[unstoppable]

In today's age everybody knows that sticking your middle finger up in the air means **** you. We all know how the flag will be intrepeted, and with that knowledge in mind, nobody would sport it unless they intended to send a message of racism. They just wouldn't. I wouldn't say something unless I wanted it to be intrepeted the way I know it would be. Nobody intends to me misintrepeted.

He knows what it means to a lot of people, and he wouldn't have waved it unless he wanted to send the message as he knew people would hear it.

In today's age it stands for slavery, and I honestly feel that people who pretend it doesn't are just playing dumb.

I use it to show that I'am from the south
plus I have black friends

So, you're intolerant against people with religious believes. Sounds like you have alot in common with Uncle Ted.
