Ted Nugent Calls Obama ‘SUBHUMAN MONGREL’, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer FLIPS OUT

[Segami]

Wolf Blitzer Detailed Rant Nazi Origins Ted Nugent Subhuman Mongrel Obama Remark

Wolf & Newt spar over Nugent controversy

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s Wolf, host Wolf Blitzer addressed in great detail the Nazi past of ‘subhuman mongrel‘ used by rocker Ted Nugent to describe President Barack Obama. With Texas gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott (R-TX) already facing criticism over campaigning with ‘sexual predator’ Ted Nugent at his side, Wolf Blitzer wondered if the Abbott campaign was aware of Nugent’s use of racially loaded term ‘subhuman mongrel’. Speaking with Wayne Slater of the Dallas Morning News, Blitzer pointed out, “That’s what the Nazis called Jews to justify the genocide of the Jewish community.



“They called them ‘untermenschen,’ subhuman mongrels, if you read some of the literature that the Nazis put out there, there is a long history of that specific phrase he used involving the President of the United States.” Slater responded that it was a phrase that is “deeply offensive, to some voters, and not just Democratic voters, but other voters,” before adding “might that phrase be a kind of dog whistle, and code to exactly some of the voters that Greg Abbott wants?” Blitzer then went on to quote Nazi propagandist Julius Streicher who wrote: ‘The Jew is a mongrel. He has hereditary tendencies from Aryans, Asiatics, Negroes, and from the Mongolians. Evil always preponderates in the case of a mongrel.’ Blitzer went to wonder if Nugent is aware of the history of the phrase and whether the Texas Republicans know “what this means to so many people out there?’

1. Anybody want to Baker Act this asshole?

I'll sign if they need a witness.

[Segami]

6. How do You Baker Act a Person?

If a person will not voluntarily be examined by a mental health professional to determine their mental health condition, you can Baker Act them. To do this, you must first go to the Court Clerk's office, fill out the appropriate paperwork for an Order signed by the judge to mandate an officer to escort a person to a facility for a mental evaluation. Certain criteria must be met, for instance, they seem to be a danger to themselves or others and the care of themselves is in question if left alone. You can find more information here:

[Maraya1969]

75. The cops can do it here in FL. Any doctor. I've heard of bastard shrinks who would

baker act people who were there to see her in her office.

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Wolf cut Nugent a lot of slack.

I have little doubt that Nugent understands the loaded history of "subhuman mongrel."
He and other white supremacists think their race is superior after all.

[zeemike]

22. And he let Newt use the tried and tested deflection

Of accusing the other side of doing it too...as if it were equal to saying the president is a subhuman mongrel.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

27. No. He did a good job of redirecting back to this issue

A d how stupid this statement and this candidate are. Of course he's not going to cut Newt's mic and Newt will eventually get his talking points in. But not before Wolf hammered him.

Better than typical Wolf.

[Maraya1969]

77. I wish there was a "fact checker" for these programs when these recon people make things up.

Like saying Al Gore said something to a black church about them all ending up behind bars or something. I highly doubt that was said.

[mopinko]

110. +++++

[kelliekat44]

83. Just think..if Ted had called the President any other nasty term, Wolf wouldn't have blinked an eye.

[dawn frenzy adams]

128. Indeed!

Wolf is outraged because Nugent said something coined in Nazi Germany. Nugent also ridiculed Blitzer's journalistic abilities. This is why he's so upset. After all, the Republicans have called the president numerous names that can be considered racist. Thug and gangster, for example. When you think about the depictions of President Obama as a pimp. Hitler, witchdoctor, monkey, etc., etc., they were all propagated in the Mainstream Media. CNN is very much part of the trashing of the President. In the history of television nothing has ever appeared as viscous as those depictions we've seen of President Obama. There was a reason why posters of Bush was censored by the media. Those that control the media knew they would hurt the President. I have no doubt that the obsessive, real to real airing, of those ugly posters displayed by the Teaparty, contributed to folks sitting out the 2010 Midterm;-thus ushering in the Teaparty Congress.

Obviously, Wolf wasn't too outraged, because he selected Newt Gingrich , who is a racist himself. Let's not forget when Newt passed out literature in the late 1980's encouraging fellow Republican candidates to use words like welfare, quotas, and crime. Wolf is angry because Nugent, in his mind, offended Jewish people. I don't think he gives a damn about President Obama

[bullwinkle428]

3. Congrats to Wolf Blitzer for actually practicing journalism.

I guess there's a first time for everything!

[gopiscrap]

111. that's just what I was thinking.

[AAO]

123. If Turd Agent had great money or power, Wolf would be silent.

Sorry - just the way I see it.

[jsr]

4. Stupid washed-up "rocker"

[1StrongBlackMan]

26. Isn't he supposed to be dead or in jail or something? eom.

[maddiemom]

30. Either dead or have left the country. HE PROMISED if the POTUS was relected!

Unfortunately no follow up so far.

[lunasun]

51. that makes him a coward / liar too!!

washed up rocker- stand by your publicly declared word ass hole ...do one or the other as promised

[Maraya1969]

76. I would love to be the one who asks him that question. "Excuse me but you said

that if certain circumstances came to pass you were going to be dead or in jail by now? Please tell when that is going to happen since many of us are looking forward to it."

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

99. Yeah, Ted raises our hopes with promises

That he fails to follow through on.

[Gary 50]

109. Can we get a twofer?

Dead and in Jail. It would take weeks for the stench to disappear after he was buried.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

118. Sounds good to me N/t

[Tikki]

60. Rest assured Nugent will never make it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He will watch...

musicians and bands who came before him be inducted and those young musicians who have come after
get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Many of these musicians will have a body of work that stands in complete opposition to everything Nugent
stands for in both his personal life and their lyric and some will be marginally within his scope of hate and
bigotry…and, maybe, a few of this later group may find their way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…

...but Nugent won't find his way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, ever, never.


Tikki

[Enthusiast]

64. Based on his music alone he is undeserving.

That is all.

[argyl]

114. Nugent's been around as long as Hendrix,Beck,Clapton,Page and Townshend. He's not fit to breathe

the same air as them. A two bit hack for shit player. I couldn't stand the SOB's playing way back in the late 60's before I knew what a dickhead he was.

[Zambero]

122. All volume and bombast

Musical chops and finesse never entered the picture with this guy. Small wonder he needed to "reinvent" himself as a right-wing psychopath when the fan base eventually dried up.

[Mike Daniels]

125. A mediocre writer, an adequate guitarist (if you go for his playing style) and a pathetic human

It's sucks that fate bestows riches and fame (for a time) to hacks like Nugent while superior talents like Richard Thompson and Nick Cave (while far from struggling) remain "cult" artists to a certain degree.

[reformist2]

5. Whatever value Nugent had left for the Repugs just went to zero, forever.

It's hard to see how even Fox could have him on again - even if he apologizes.

[Ohio Joe]

8. No... He will still be put on the air...

The right wing is open and proud of their racism these days... They have been since President Obama was elected. Even comments like this barely get a blip on the 'news'.

[starroute]

18. But when it takes on anti-Semitic overtones, it gets a lot dicier

It's a sad fact that you seem to be able to get away with anti-black and anti-Hispanic rhetoric these days -- but anything that evokes Nazis, the Holocaust and anti-Semitism in general still pushes the outrage button. I assume that's what Blitzer was reacting to, and it could make even the right wary of being associated with Nugent.

[Ohio Joe]

24. Sadly... No

Abbott is simply claiming he knows nothing about the comments, so it's all good. Little to nothing is being said about this (besides here at DU) and the gun nuts will continue to use racist ted to promote their insanity.

[Behind the Aegis]

96. no, it really doesn't.

[Scuba]

9. Are you kidding? The Republican base loves this stuff. Watch and see.

[daleanime]

12. Sad, but true....

[reformist2]

17. No. Even Repug leaders know that kind of stuff is poison in the general election, even in Texas.

[AlinPA]

59. You mean the teabagger leaders? That's who runs the party now. No, they love it and it is not

poison to the GOP in Texas or anywhere else, even PA. It works for them.

[AlinPA]

58. Agree. The GOP loves this kind of talk and I would not be surprised if they use more of it.

Nugent's statements about the President fits perfectly with the GOP base and their teabagger leaders.

[Enthusiast]

65. Only because they are Nazis in spirit.

[B Calm]

105. No kidding! Tell a Republican gun nut the truth about Ted Nugent and how

he avoided the draft by shitting in his pants and suddenly they can't hear you. .

[Mike Daniels]

126. Fox will use the "Democrats have their celebrities who say stupid things" defense

Ignoring the reality that Democratic party leaders will publically speak out against a left-leaning celebrity if the celebrity says something particularly offensive and generally Democratic party politicians also don't go chasing endorsements from celebrities who have a history of making offensive statements.

[Marr]

7. I wouldn't be surprised if Nugent had no idea of the phrases' history.

But it's just as bad if he didn't know.

There is a reason such a phrase would be floating around in his vocabulary. He mixes with, or reads materials from, groups that are influenced by Nazi, racial supremacist propaganda.

[arcane1]

10. I was thinking that too. Regardless, he knows it's a racist thing to say.

But I wouldn't be surprised if he's too stupid to know the phrase's origins.

[Segami]

11. He's NOT stupid by far.

I'm sure he's well versed with such hate-filled terms considering the gun-toting, supremacist environment he romps in.

To think otherwise would be underestimating his underlying, racist tact.

[2naSalit]

14. Seriously have to agree.

He may have destroyed most of his brain cells - especially those required for independent cognition but he was, at one time, pretty smart. My former brother-in-law went t high school with him and told me (this was back in 70s) that he was pretty smart... they were competitors in the guitar player realm. The bil had it all over Ted with talent though and was not into the headbanger noise Ted was/is all about.

I think all those drugs and narcissism has removed any kind of intellect the guy may have had. Wouldn't be surprised if he snorts gunpowder.

[dotymed]

40. I was in H.S. when nugent became popular.

Maybe there was a reason that I couldn't stand him or his music back then...and I rocked...lol

[zappaman]

53. I saw what he snorts back around 1989...

and it ain't gunpowder.

[2naSalit]

54. ...

Probably just as lethal though, eh?

[zappaman]

56. oh yes

nothing like being told to go downstairs and give some shady guy some cash for a brown bag, bring it back up, and watch a drug free rock star and producer snort the shit out of the contents.

[MyOwnPeace]

69. Hey!

Anyone got a lighter?

[Gothmog]

13. Greg Abbot is not running a smart campaign

I really believe that Nugent and the abortionbarbie crap is going to backfire on Greg

[justabob]

32. I hope you are right

I do think things have changed significantly around here, and I am seeing a whole lot more people paying closer attention to things, especially normally apathetic people. It remains to be seen if those people will vote, but I have hope. Even conservatives I know are having a hard time with this crap, but I know mostly paleocons. I am hoping that Abbott and other loons around the country go big because people really do seem to be understanding how batshit insane these people are.

[Dawson Leery]

55. Rethugs did the same thing to Ann Richards.

She was not considered nearly as competitive as Wendy Davis is. Ann went from -20% in the polls to +2% in the final results on election day 1990.

[GreenEyedLefty]

79. I lived in Texas during the summer of 1990.

I never since saw a campaign as nasty as that one.

[LenaBaby61]

102. Don't think so. Remember, this is the same state that WANTS to secede from the union.

I wonder WHY no one ever goes after Nugent? He's a draft dodger who crapped in his pants as to avoid service to our country, and he's a known racist scum-ball, but didn't he get in trouble for sleeping with an underage CHILD, which makes him a pedophile? Shouldn't he be in the sex offender registry?

[Politicub]

15. The GOP has institutionalized bigotry.

There's a big difference between people saying stupid things versus bigotry and hate being part of GOP culture. Demeaning the "other" is a virtue for republicans.

Watching these clips reminds me of how useless and irritating it is to listen to republicans talk about any subject.

They won't address the question -- they're not able to since they are truly bigots. They always try to cover their collective bigotry with a fig leaf of one-off statements from dems.

[Scootaloo]

16. Wow, I'm absolutely shocked!

...That Wolf Blitzer actually has an ethical line.

Who knew?

[Ino]

46. Wolf Blitzer's parents are Holocaust survivors

So I guess this outrage hit a little too close to home. Maybe it will wake him up to the rest of the things he lets slide though.

[WinkyDink]

19. Uh...The term needs no Nazi connection to be in and of itself DESPICABLE!! WTH is wrong with CNN???

[cali]

21. it is made all the more despicable by its long associations with genocide and Nazis

and CNN is absolutely right to point that out. period.

[Enthusiast]

66. Precisely.

And Newt with the false equivalency. What an ass!

[WinkyDink]

72. Point taken.

[Chakab]

28. ...and what was with the guy who was being interviewed being so hesitant to say this might be

a dog whistle to Abbott voters?

Might be a dog whistle? Are you fucking kidding me?

This is why casual racism has made such a big comeback. These talking heads are scared shitless to call it what it is even when it's blatant because they don't want to be accused of "playing the race card" by neanderthals.

[Eleanors38]

101. That's the problem with GOPer strategy: The kind of voter...

they want to whistle in is already lapping their shoes. Pursuing the "point" only riles up other voters. The only rationales beyond this:

1) They think the Bully Dynamic is so legitimized, and Democrats cow-down & whine so easily, that voters will go for a blowhole punk-bully over a craven, sniveling lib any time, or

2) They see polling #s they are afraid of.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. I know someone who watches CNN....

His attitude is both sided do it, it's always BEEN this way and it always will BE this way and there is NOTHING you can do about it so why don't you wise up and give up?

That is what CNN does to you.

[awoke_in_2003]

39. Very true...

people often used that term in place of the word mutt- a dog that is not a pure bred. So, even if he does not know the Nazi history of the word, he is using the it because Obama is bi-racial. He doesn't want to come out and say "half-breed", which is exactly what he is thinking.

[The Wizard]

20. Republican values

supported by Nazis, scumbags and assorted cretins.

[Beacool]

23. Talk about subhuman mongrels........

Nugent is a racist and sexist creep who spews hate on a regular basis. I would like to ask who goes to his concerts, but I already know the answer: other racist and sexist creeps like him.

[3catwoman3]

44. And dogs, unlike Nugent...

make every effort not to soil themselves with their own waste.

[Skittles]

61. sexist and racist gun humping creeps

in other words, LOSERS

[yuiyoshida]

86. You know if Hillary is ever elected....

I am sure the Republicans will use the "C" word for her, as well as "bitch". I don't think the Republican party will ever recover from tea baggers taking over, it can only get worse.

[Beacool]

92. It wouldn't be anything new.

They've been using those ugly names since her days as first lady.

[yuiyoshida]

130. Republicans aren't using

The "N" word publicly for Obama..but you know they are thinking it. As for Hillary, I wouldn't be surprised if she was called the "C" word by some Republican Senator or Congressman in public on mic. They really and truly are a disgusting bunch... its very sad that this is what our Country has come down to, isn't it?

[Beacool]

131. It's not just Republicans.

In 2008 the so called liberal media was terrible too.

Chris Matthews called her "Nurse Ratched", "She Devil" and said that the only reason that she was a senator and a presidential candidate was because her "husband messed around".

David Shuster was suspended for saying that Chelsea was being pimped by Hillary (she had been campaigning for her mother).

Keith Olbermann told one of his guests that someone should take her into a room and only he should come out.

The list went on and on.

[Major Nikon]

112. Nugent is a pedophile

http://www.examiner.com/article/romney-supporter-ted-nugent-pedophile-he-says-so-video

[Beacool]

115. Wow, just wow!!!

I didn't know any of this. Why is this guy not in jail????????????

“He lambastes drug users and alcohol drinkers, but repeatedly admits (without a trace of humility, however) to being a serial pedophile. Two relationships (one with his wife and one with “muse” Pele Massa, who was 17 when they started dating) were ended due to Ted’s infidelity while on the road, often with underage women. But Ted justifies his behavior with one of his trademark funny expressions: “alternative flesh management.”

He's even worse than I thought. What a pig!!!!

[Major Nikon]

116. It's a safe bet that Courtney Love isn't the only pre-teen Nugent has raped

The most surprising part (or perhaps unsurprising) is that the GOP regards him as a pillar of their community.

[Beacool]

117. The guy is a sicko.

I think that Abbott will end up regretting asking him to come to one of his events. It may help him short term with the Tea Party kooks, but it will work against him statewide.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

25. The GOP--pissing off and alienating voters each and every day

Gotta love how stupid they are.

[lpbk2713]

29. "Why you ... you ...

you poopy pants!!"

[Iliyah]

31. The GOPers appears to evolve into pure insanity

GOPers introduction a bill "Presidential Over-Reaching Bill" instead of solving the UI and creating jobs. Just read the Religious nut cases claiming discrimination because of the "Gays". GOPers claiming Jim Crow because gays can marry now in some states. GOPers deny women proper health care and forcing them to undergo tests and making them have babies. Florida and other states denying voter rights.

Kinda sound like fascism to me. GOPers believe they are GAWD's chosen but JC would NEVER do what they are doing, plus JC and GOD loves everything, including mankind.

[Hekate]

33. Wolf finally reached his limit. Finally. Good job, Wolf. Nt

[Cleita]

34. But, but.....but

Godwin says you can't make comparisons to the Nazis, even when they are true, because you lose the argument. Didn't Wolfie get the message?

Oh, I'd better add this:

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. LOL!!! Hey Wolfy! How's that "both sides do it" thing workin' out fer ya?

[LynneSin]

36. Here's my definition of Subhuman Mongrels - men who are pedophile, pants-shitting, draft dodgers...

Last edited Thu Feb 20, 2014, 08:53 AM - Edit history (1)

otherwise known as Ted Nugent.

[Snotcicles]

104. We call them draft doging pedophile pant-shitters. Greg Abbott calls them his base.nt

[SummerSnow]

37. is she a subhuman mongrel ted?

[mimi85]

42. Good one! nt

[Iwillnevergiveup]

94. Get your stinkin' paws off her!

Reminds me of Bush sneaking up behind Angela Merkel giving her a backrub. EWWWWW!
Clueless, classless troglydytes!

[mimi85]

41. Good for Wolf and

Newt was being too cute by half. God, he's a major asshole - I think back to the GOP debates and his arrogance is astounding. Nugent doesn't deserve shit. I don't like to judge on looks, but this time I will - he even looks like a fucking idiot. This has really pissed me off (in case you couldn't tell). Yeah, why hasn't he moved? Maybe Russia will give him asylum.

Doesn't he realize how fortunate he is to be an American and have first amendment rights? And most of all, while I think PBO has pretty thick skin after all these years in spite of what some people think, it royally pisses me off that his daughters, if not now, will learn about all this crap one day. Although I think they have the same solid backbone that our classy first lady has.

[berni_mccoy]

43. Newt, when asked if he would do that, "No, but...". that actually means "yes".

[MyOwnPeace]

70. Years ago.......

at a seminar led by a successful professional executive, he told us a wise thing to remember:
When someone is coming to you and giving you "comments, suggestions, etc," just remember,"Anything before the "but," is BULLSHIT!

[one_voice]

45. Of course he knew what he...

was saying.

Just like he knew what he was saying when he told then candidate Obama to suck on his machine gun. At the same concert he called Hillary Clinton (a candidate too) a worthless *b*.

He's a piece of cowardly shit that would probably running crying and hide under his bed if either Hillary or Obama confronted him.

Fuck Ted Nugent.

[TimeToEvolve]

47. he should speak for himself

a violent, narcissistic cretin for a seasons, a sociopath too,

ted's position allows him to do what he likes to do best: jerk off tiny white conservative dicks. (figuratively speaking)

[DinahMoeHum]

48. Only reason Nugent doesn't walk on all fours is peer pressure.

Piece of trash and subhumanity.

[City Lights]

49. He is a disgrace to the human race.

He is filth, top to bottom, inside and out.

[Dawson Leery]

50. This debate is a good start.

There should be a discussion regarding the Pro-War Ted Nugent's dodging of the draft for Vietnam.

[bravenak]

52. Why isn't he dead or in jail?? HE PROMISED!!!

His mouth looks like it stinks.

[QuestForSense]

91. Everything coming out it certainly does.

He's so full of shit I bet even his eyeballs stink.

[Coyotl]

57. Politicians like Greg Abbott use such idiots to say what they can't say publically.

Let's be straight about this, these people are complete racist assholes but the ones running for office need to be two-faced or they know they can't win an election.

[LuvNewcastle]

62. This is the kind of language used in elections in the Jim Crow South.

I swear, go back and read some of the stuff Theodore Bilbo (MS governor and senator) and Lester Maddox (GA governor) used to say about blacks. That's the language of race-baiting from way back, and it's still happening in an election in Texas in the 21st century. I hope Texans with a conscience will speak out about having Ted Nugent campaigning for a candidate in their state. An endorsement from Nugent is like an endorsement from the Klan, and that isn't an exaggeration.

[MyOwnPeace]

71. Really? How many are there?

"I hope Texans with a conscience will speak out..."

Come on - how many can there be? Look who they've been electing!

[Enthusiast]

63. Hey, Newt, you insensitive fuck, it goes beyond wrong.

Nugent is a Nazi. He is precisely a Nazi. If he is your political ally, you are sympathetic to the Nazi philosophy. Duh.

[davidpdx]

80. Newt is a Republican party apologist

who tries to minimize he's friend Ted Nugent's comments.

[Eleanors38]

103. Gingrich is the Master bully, and perfected the Bully Dynamic...

that crystalizes GOPer strategy, and has dominated deer-in-the-headlights Democrats for over 20 yrs. No surprise he is called in to legitimize the latest dominance escalation in the strategy.

[boston bean]

67. Newt Gingrich is a despicable person.

How in the fuck can he defend this.

Oh, yeah.. Ted Nugent go to fucking hell you rotten piece of shit.

[napkinz]

68. Nugent ...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

73. No better person to defend Nugent than Newt

Newt Gingrich is the reason politics is where it is today.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

74. Someone said that Ted Nugent had serious pedophile tendencies?

Is that correct?

[leftynyc]

108. You can read about it

http://www.politicususa.com/2013/02/11/ted-nugent-state-of-the-union.html

And here is Courtney Love's story (she was 12 at the time)

http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/conservative-icon-and-draft-dodger-ted-nugent-also-a-serial-pedophile-surprised/question-2456935/

[Sarah Ibarruri]

119. Thanks for the article. I'm of the belief that pedophiles need a little ass-kickin now and then...

to snap them out of their sick fantasies, and Ted Nugent is seriously aching for a dozen or more of those.

What does not surprise me, I guess, is that right wingers would support a pedophile like Ted Nugent. I think behind the façade of "normalcy," a lot of right wingers are in actuality some top-of-the-line sick puppies in serious need of psychological therapy and/or internment. The fact that right wingers idolize psychos, is reason enough to keep them at arm's length and fight them at every turn.

[lindysalsagal]

78. Yes. They're shocked. Even after the 300th time they've aired it.

The network is so shocked and disgusted, they used it to sell cars, fast food, boner pills...

If we keep giing airtime to rw lunatics, more lunatics willbe created. Thanks, CNN, so much.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

81. Can we retire the word "rant" at some point?

Wolf was not ranting. He was simply pointing out some obvious and some not-so-obvious facts. When I think of someone ranting, I think of out-of-control language and histrionics (arm-waving and such). There was none of that here. Wolf was firm, but never even slightly out of control.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

82. Since Newt is a lying sack of shit...

Let's review.

Biden was speaking at the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research in Danville, VA when he made the comments.

The institute is not a "black audience" or even a mostly black audience. Furthermore, Biden was riffing on earlier comments by Paul Ryan that we should "unshackle" the private sector (i.e., remove all those pesky regulations that had nearly caused the economy to melt down four years earlier) and Biden had been previously talking about "unshackling" the middle class. This was another use of the same metaphor.

You need know nothing more about the Republican Party than to know that Newt Gingrich and Paul Ryan are considered their intellectual leaders.

[allan01]

84. id wash his mouth out with soap

[yuiyoshida]

85. So what Newt is saying is "Both sides do it"

Its a lame remark and shows Newt is out of touch. I call B.S on his remarks.

[merrily]

90. That is a common Republican response to criticism and almost

always a lie or, if we're very lucky, a wild exaggeration. Scarborough must say it at least five times a week. And, of course, no one in media challenges any of them on it.

[Boomerproud]

95. I just emailed CNN about letting Gingrich get away with a lie about Biden and I want proof about

what he said Gore said. I said that Blitzer should have pointed out that Fox News, AM radio and all of the other RW media scream invectives 24/7 with no consequences. The "both sides do it " is a lie. Thank you Jeff from Milwaukee for uploading the Biden footage. God, now I have to go to bed and I'm steaming.

[merrily]

98. I used to email Tim Russert just about every Sunday.

Dave Gregory is even worse, though.

People here complain--and rightly so--about Fox being on TV in public places. But CNN is on in far more public places and is almost as bad, IMO.

Anyway, good night and sleep well.

[yuiyoshida]

129. Its kinda like a FOX NEW meme....

I have hard O'Reilly use it, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter... all those Republican pundits use those words. OH... "WELL, they were CAUGHT in bed WITH A SHEEP?" "DEMOCRATS do it too"... WTF?

[oldandhappy]

87. Nugent is a nougat --

sticky and full of nuts. He should be required to get special permission before leaving the republic of Texas.

88. Jeff in Milwaukee is exactly right and here is the video

...of Biden "talking to a group of Blacks". Flat out lies. Whaaaatever.

[merrily]

89. Nugent is a has been asshole who was not much at the height of his career.

Sorry if that has no Nazi connotations. I'm not up on their terminology.

93. How can Wolf be so stupid or naive as to not know why Crap Stain throws slurs around?

How may years in denial are supposed 'journalist' going to stay about Repukes? DON'T just flipout one day...flipout EVERYDAY a fucking GOPukers holds a seat in Congress!

The GOP SUCKS! Pass it on!

97. That nutgent a-hole is not dead or in jail yet like he predicted?

100. Blitzer asked the question "Do they know what the phrase means?"

The follow-up question is "Do they care?"

[Vinca]

106. What annoyed me most about the entire brouhaha was Abbott's response

to why he had Nugent there in the first place. Abbott said Nugent was "defending freedom." Apparently, Abbott is unaware that when Ted had a chance to "defend freedom" he filled his pants instead.

Disgusting rhetoric lifted from the Nazi playbook notwithstanding, the right wing's true colors still need to be displayed for all to see. This is no longer your Grandma's GOP.
