Ted Nugent says a lot of dumb things.

He should be in prison.

In prison?

Yes in prison.

Inciting assassination.

He's disgusting. He belongs in prison.

For thoughtcrime, obviously.


No, I wouldn't. But it's such a silly question to begin with. George H.W. Bush has a better shot at winning his second term in 2016 than Ted Nugent his first.

He's a gun-toting loon, that's for sure. I bet ILN and Krellin would vote for him.

"Ted Nugent says a lot of dumb things."

Ummmm...and what does that have to do with him running for President? Are you seriously under the impression that Politicians say anything other than dumb things? "I promise you...you will be able to keep your health care if you like it..." "Oh...sorry....I lied..."

Nope.

I wonder how many times Putin suggested that Bush and Cheney should be killed?

Putin should clearly be in prison.

What an as clown...

I'd suggest going on my profile and going on those links to ser why I would NOT vote for him.

As for whether or not I would vote for Nugent....lol....Uh, hmmmmm....let me think....uhhhhh......**** NO *****...

I would gladly follow him in to the mountains and slay copious amounts of wild beast with him and savor the fresh flesh of our kill. I might even find a cave and with the blood of my kill draw pictures of the fantasy whereupon we hunted a Putin....

...but I assure you, I would never vote that man in to any office.

The attempted assassination of Giffords and the actual assassination of George Tiller were preceded by hate speech like this. As was the Rwandan genocide.

I know the conservative policy is to wait until disaster happens, and then pretend we can't do anything about it afterwards anyway, like they do with all violence.

^absurd

I can't really hear what the guy in Putin's video says: I'm not an English native and there's noise... Does anyone have a short transcript of the incitement and the time it's made?

^lazy

That was meant for Predictus, not Redhouse.

Lol Predictus.

You're calling Ted Nugent the equivalent of the inciters of the Rwanda genocide. Absurd is exactly the right thing to say.

How about that transcript?

It's incitement to political violence. Your trivialization of such speech because he's on your side is what is absurd.

"Nugent: I was in Chicago last week I said---Hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these you punk? Obama, he's a piece of shit and I told him to suck on one of my machine guns...Let's hear it for them. I was in NY and I said hey Hillary---you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch...Since I'm in California, I'm gonna find-- she might wanna suck on my machine gun! Hey, Dianne Feinstein, ride one of these you worthless whore. Any questions? Freeeeedom!"

Jesus I'm really sick of being asked for link, link, link, link, link when nobody else provides jack around here.

Thanks Putin.

I agree with Putin that this person made statements that should be punishable by law...

"It's incitement to political violence."

Is is a horrible thing to say? Yes. Should he be locked up? No. For one, he probably would be if this really crossed the line. The government, rightly, don't play no games when it comes to our leaders' security.

I'm not defending Nugent's speech. I'm even, for whatever it's worth, condemning it. That sort of talk has no place in public discourse, and by saying things like that he's surrendered any chance to ever be taken seriously on political issues. But it isn't something to throw him or any one else in prison over.

Also, I don't know about you, but I've always heard "suck on a pistol" or the like used as an insult encouraging another to commit suicide. It goes without saying that that's not in any way under any circumstances a legitimate thing to say about any president. Is it inciting political violence, though? I'd have to think not, since I can only imagine the Secret Service and the entire security apparatus errs on the side of caution and is, rightly, more aggressive in going after possible threats than is strictly necessary. The fact that Nugent isn't in prison is a pretty good indication that he shouldn't be.

He was pointing his machine guns and saying suck on this. An invitation to suicide? Whatever. If that's the spin you want to go with, fine.

And he has been investigated by the secret service. But if they aren't willing to shut down the countless media outlets that incite violence against liberal politicians on a daily basis (some of which came to fruition), they aren't going to shut down this Republican surrogate.

I should hope he was investigated. Since he's still free, that means nothing came of it, meaning he shouldn't be in prison. He's still an ass. His words are still wholly inappropriate. He just shouldn't be in prison.


"An invitation to suicide? Whatever. If that's the spin you want to go with, fine."

I'm not spinning it. That's the only way I've ever heard the phrase used. It's still an awful and unacceptable thing to say and will make me continue to not buy or listen to Ted Nugent music.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........no.

I'd vote for Hank "I love the CSA and Obama is Hitler" Williams Jr. before I voted for Ted Nugent.

At least Hank could make me Ready For Some Football. :)

Are you confusing Hank Williams with John Madden?

JOHN MADDEN FOR PRESIDENT

@putin33 Ted Nugent is a clown and what he's really inciting is for people to give him something real to complain about. You did as much as you could. It'll be a sad day that they start actually putting people in prison for trash talk.
