Poor Ted, He Used To Be Cool
“Back in the day” I used to listen to Ted Nugent, he had some good stuff, now, he’s just sad.
Just for the fun of it, compare Nugent to Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines statement , or their protest song that sent the upper-right-quadrant into rhetoric filled spasms.
Call me naive, but I think “Obama, he’s a piece of shit” and “hey Hillery, you might want to ride one of these [machine guns] into the sunset ya worthless bitch” sort of trumps “Just so you know, we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.”
[UPDATE] How surprised am I, upper-right-quadrant wingNut Sean Hannity is discussing Nugent using the “but they said worse” defence, he didn’t mention the Dixie Chicks of course, but he did say that accusing the troops of crimes is worse than anything Nugent said.

I love Ted. He is one of the originals who did not succumb to things that many young artists and other people did. I admire him for that. I haven’t heard him lately, but there is usually another story behind what is reported (even on the Left). There is one good thing you can say about him, whether you agree with him or not, he does speak his mind. Don’t you wish our politicians would do the same? I sure do! Have a nice day.
Nugent was pretty clear in his statements - what do you suppose the other story might be?
– regardless, the point of the post is hypocrisy. A few years ago one of the Dixie Chicks said “Just so you know, we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas”, and the right wing went into fits of rhetoric that lasted for months.
Nugent said “hey Hillery, you might want to ride one of these [machine guns] into the sunset ya worthless bitch” and it’s a completely different thing.

This group, the Committee to Protect Blogger (CPB), is one of the most useful sites I have come across in my three years of blogging. These people really go to bat for us to protect our free speech, and they warn us and inform us about the people who…

And if lefties feel strongly enough, they can burn his albums in protest, pressure radio stations to stop playing his music and record stores to stop selling his records.
Telling loudmouths in the public eye to STFU is free expression. The same right to free expression those celebutards have when they open their mouths over crap they know nothing about.

Absolutely nastyboy, the lefties are free to do whatever they want with Nugents words and statements - that doesn’t change the hypocrisy of those who thought that “Just so you know, we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas†was worth weeks of rhetoric but are not the least bit disturbed at “hey Hillery, you might want to ride one of these [machine guns] into the sunset ya worthless bitch†.
Nugent is being interviewed on the upper-right-quadrant WingNut Glenn Beck talk radio show - it’s a “free speech” issue, and if Michael Moore stood up on stage with a machine gun and said, ‘hey George Bush, why don’t you suck on the end of this’ it would be OK.
– yeah, right, if the upper-right went bonkers over “Just so you know, we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas†I can only imagine what they’d do with that.
