Ted Nugent unloads on African-American “thugs” in horribly racist column about Ferguson



http://www.salon.com/2014/10/02/ted_nugent_unloads_on_african_american_%E2%80%9Cthugs%E2%80%9D_in_horribly_racist_column_about_ferguson/

Rocker, right-wing polemicist, and Republican campaigner Ted Nugent has launched yet another racist tirade, penning a column in which he assails “Ferguson thugs” and a purported “plague of black violence” and demands that African-Americans stop supporting liberal politicians.

Nugent’s latest racist outburst – which comes after the entertainer called our first African-American president a “subhuman mongrel” and defended the South African apartheid system and the use of the n-word – arrived in the form of his column for far-right website WorldNetDaily.

He begins his column by noting that a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri was recently shot as he investigated a break-in. (Officials have said that the shooting was unrelated to protests over the August shooting of unarmed black teen Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.) Nugent wonders why “the media have made it a point not to describe the suspect or suspects the police are searching for,” and then proceeds to draw his own conclusions about the suspects.

“Based on crime stats in Ferguson and elsewhere,” Nugent writes, “it would be a safe bet to assume the two thugs the police are looking for are black males between the age of 15 and 25.”

1. Jerk

What a jerk.

2. "Ted Nugent unloads" sounds like a VN draft physical flashback

I'm sure that's what the writer intended to evoke.

5. Can we "demand" that Nugent start changing his underwear regularly?

6. Depends

3. Few take him seriously - fortunately

13. But for those who do

I would really like to see some close questioning of Republican candidates who appear with or take Mr. Nugent's endorsement (or the endorsement of any organization he might be a board member of). Does the candidate agree with Mr. Nugent's assessment? Where does the candidate disagree? If the candidate has strong reservations about Mr. Nugent's repeated inflammatory comments and appearances, why doesn't the candidate disassociate his campaign from Mr. Nugent and any of his organizations?

We want to get at the facts, don't we? Know where the candidates stand on the issues of the day? Keep an eye on who is bankrolling their campaigns? You know, public interest stuff like that.

4. Fitting that the only use his "column" has once you print it out is toilet paper or bird cage liner

given the way the "Nuge" got out of serving in the military during Vietnam.

7. I don't put much stock in hateful pronouncements from pants-shitting shirkers

who take a coward's way out, rather than object to service forthrightly as a matter of conscience.

The miasma of month-old shit sticks to him, still.

10. You're assuming Ted has a conscience

According to Ted's own words, he did what he did not out of conscience but because going to Vietnam would have interfered with his rock and roll lifestyle.

Ted Nugent is extremely anti-substance. Doesn't smoke tobacco, drink alcohol or ingest illegal substances. Ya gotta wonder how he would have turned out if he'd had a couple beers and a joint every day during his formative years.

8. I don't think I want to see the words "Ted Nugent" and "unloads" that close together for any reason!
