Pic Of The Moment: Where's The Media Outrage Now?

[EarlG]

The U.S. Secret Service is looking into a violent rant by "Catch Scratch Fever" rocker Ted Nugent in which he denounced President Barack Obama and his top advisers as "evil" and urged National Rifle Association members to help "chop their heads off in November."

"I'll tell you this right now: If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," Nugent said. "We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?"

Nugent, speaking at the organization's annual gathering over the weekend, praised NRA members but warned that if they did not "get everybody in your lives to clean house in this vile, evil, America-hating administration, I don't even know what you're made out of."

"If the coyote's in your living room, pissing on your couch, it's not the coyote's fault. It's your fault for not shooting him," he said. He also denounced the administration as "criminals" and said a Democratic victory in November would mean "we'll be a suburb of Indonesia next year" — an apparent reference to Obama's boyhood time there.

Romney sought Nugent's endorsement

It was on a phone call with the candidate earlier today that Nugent gave his blessing. He talked to Romney by phone while he was at a sporting goods store in Michigan "celebrating the orgy of guns and ammos and bows and arrows and camouflage clothing and hunting and fishing and outdoor family supplies."

Before endorsing him, Nugent demanded that Romney pledge there would be no new gun laws or restrictions on Second Amendment rights in his administration. Romney obliged. Nugent also warned Romney about the "out of control" U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

"These are not Ted Nugent demands," he said. "They're logic demands. They're 'we the people' demands. They're right over wrong, good over bad."

1. "Romney Advisor Ted Nugent"

[tk2kewl]

2. excellent meme

[mercuryblues]

4. top advisor to romney.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. The Republicans are pushing the "Hillary Rosen is an Obama operative" slogan to try to

distinguish them from Nugent's to let Mitt off the hook. We need to push back with this kind of slogan.

[MADem]

3. Yeeeeesssssss. "Romney advisor Ted Nugent" is also alleged to be a child molester.

I think the media needs to "get on that." They're the 'we the people' demands, see?

[leftyohiolib]

8. self delete

he adopted her so he can legally have a sexual relationship with her

[HughBeaumont]

10. Yes, which is what makes it infinitely creepier.

"Little Miss Dangerous", indeed.

[santamargarita]

5. This child molesting shit kicker may be dead or in jail next year...

...makes no difference to me, but President Obama will still be in the White House!

[zbdent]

29. Let's push that idea ...

I mean, we're taking his word that he's "clean and sober" ... just like the "liberally-biased corporate media" bought into Bush43 being "sober" all these years ...

Maybe he'll be in jail (or dead) from drug-related matters ...

[marshall gaines]

6. jerk

if this had been said about shrub or darth, the SS would not be looking in to it, this jerk would be disappeared.

[LynneSin]

7. Oh come on, who cares about assasinating a president when you're insulting a wealthy housewife....

(and for the secret service who probably reads this stuff there's in that subject line!)

And to be honest, I highly doubt Nugeant would do anything as sick as assasinate a president. But what I do worry is some lone wolf out there who is filled with hate in their hearts will see the comments that Ted has made and think 'Geez if the Nuge says it's ok then I'm gonna do it'. Just like that person who shot Gabby Giffords.

[hue]

13. Your point is right on! Assasination occurs first in the minds of men.

To some guys Ted is an idol/role model. They cannot differentiate between talk & action.
Ted's threat should not be underestimated as public figures have a responsibility as role models.
Everyone, esp law enforcers, know there are plenty of nutters out there just waiting to fulfill a Ted
Nugent fantasy.

[zbdent]

30. all this outrage by the liberals, you'd think he had said something like a "burning bush" ...

now that's criminal ... at least 3 years in prison ...

oh, btw ...

[freshwest]

9. The media outrage is safely pocketed in the same pair of pants its right wing owners wear.

It will only taken out and waved around when it benefits them.

The ownership society at work:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ownership_society

As consumers of media, we're not one of them.

[Ganja Ninja]

11. Yeah I think it's about time to call the librul media out on their selective outrage.

I've had it with CNN pretending to be the news organization that plays it down the middle. They have been playing up the shitstorm over Hilliary Rosen's comments for almost a week now. Their bullshit is really getting sloppy and obvious.

[patrice]

12. Someone should tell Nugent & Media Millionaires that no one wants their stuff. Violence is not

necessary. Everything they have or they can get, they can keep. They only need to PAY UP.

They're so fucked up they don't know that people are NOT interested in taking away what is theirs. We don't want STUFF. They and their possessions are safe from us, so the violence that they promote and SUPPORT, directly or indirectly, IS murder.

Almost everyone just wants Nugent and the Media Millionaires and those for whom they work OFF OF OUR BACKS, politically and economically, so that we can live our own lives.

They can keep their stuff and what they should do is to pay the actual price of their wealth, instead of pretending that the costs associated with producing lesser wealth are equal to the costs of producing quantitatively, and hence, qualitatively, extremely DIFFERENT levels of wealth.

Money is a PRIVATE resource that is absolutely fungible within their PRIVATE circles and absolutely concrete outside of their private reserves. They want it BOTH ways AND to be the SOLE arbiters of both private & public terms of our economic "agreements".

There has been a great deal of public credit extended to PRIVATE MONEY, but no one is going to re-possess what we have made possible. No one is going to nationalize their stuff, but now that people know more about how PRIVATE money is, we are demanding that money-moguls begin to PAY THEIR FARE SHARE for the public commons that ALL of us pay for, no more HANDOUTS that obfuscate the authentic costs of doing good business.

[SHRED]

14. very well put

Bravo

[patrice]

18. THANK you!!

[leftyohiolib]

21. what does fungible mean?

[SemperEadem]

dictionary.com is your friend.

[leftyohiolib]

41. not when it gives me an answer like that

[SemperEadem]

48. you asked what the word meant---that's the definition

I didn't make up the word. How it is applied is up to the writer.

[patrice]

32. In this context: It's value is whatever those with the power to do so say it is, no intrinsic value.

[Blue Owl]

15. Where, indeed...

Fuck the M$M.

[HisTomness]

17. Ted Nugent will be dead before I will.

I so look forward to that day.

[tjwash]

19. The Nuge...packing 'em in at county fairs all over the country...

Do these look like the "vote for romney" types to you though?

[Cleita]

23. That is a snow white crowd there. n/t

[Turbineguy]

20. Why no outrage?

Hillary Rosen has some credibility. Nugent is a washed up piece of shit.

[Bill USA]

26. Just the sort of guy to get an endorsement and policy demands from. LOL!

[Cleita]

22. Nugent needs to get a visit from the SS.

I hope they aren't fans.

[SemperEadem]

24. and still, he can't move product like he used to

before he seriously went around the bend.

He's so desperate to be relevant... he's pathetic.

[Bill USA]

27. Nugent represents the true base of the Corporate Lobbyist party - ignorant, ready to screw suckers.

This needs to be mentioned on corporate media sites too. Give it as much web space as possible.



recommended. Bookmarked.

[cuncator]

28. Let's not get all excited.

Maybe Mr. Nugent was referring to himself when he referenced the coyote.

[citizen blues]

31. I don't know which one's the bigger douche bag.....

Ted Nugent or Romney for seeking his endorsement.

[era veteran]

33. POS Chickenhawk

Who took your place in Vietnam you shit talking REMF?
He shouldn't even open his mouth.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

34. maybe this is the response I need next time

anyone claims "WaaaWaaa Liberal Media".

I'm too disgusted to say much of anything else....

[slackmaster]

35. EarlG, WADR you have to be kidding. Don't you know that Dick Clark DIED?

[texastoast]

36. Mr. "I-Shit-My-Pants-To-Avoid-The-Draft" Ted Nugent--the Oh Brave One?

I really don't think he has balls do do anything except blow and really hard.

May he endorse Mittens.

[TahitiNut]

37. As if I didn't have enough motivation to vote for Obama,

... the prospect of Shitstain Ted being dead or in jail is enough to make me try voting twice.

[HangOnKids]

40. Oy! Shitstain Ted

Perfect!

[sulphurdunn]

38. When one objectively

evaluates the bona fides of the leading mouthpieces of the far right: Nugent, Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Riley, Colter, et-al, and their ilk past and present, how could one conclude anything but that the American Reich is as much a sanctuary for perverts as was its German counterpart? And these are merely servants.

[Skittles]

39. Romney is using Nugent to get the unhinged teabagger vote

DISGUSTING

[FightForChange]

42. Hi I'm Ted Nugent

I was a draft-dodger and a heroin addict when I was a young musician. Now that I've had my fun I'm going to make sure all the shit I did will get you thrown into jail for the rest of your life. I'm a "christian", minus all those years as a druggie and sex-fiend. Now I tack the title "born-again" in front of it and suddenly none of that matters. Talk about family values huh? Fuck Ted Nugent.

[ffr]

46. Awesome. Agreed!

I'll never be able to listen to his music and not think of the projecting psychopath he's become.

[Jamaal510]

43. If the NRA is supposed to teach gun safety,

why was Ted McNugget even invited in the first place? He's clearly a gun-obsessed, fear-mongering maniac.

[Historic NY]

44. I'd like to help Ted meet it first & second goal.

If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," Nugent said

[DFW]

47. I wonder if he would sign a binding pledge? n/t

[chollybocker]

45. I'd never heard of Hillary Rosen before last week.

Ted Nugent is a long-time rightwing SUPERHERO.

Damn libstream media. SHOOT IT!!!

[SmellyFeet]

49. I don't usually rec as I think some do it just because you're an admin, but...

this one I like.

[Madmiddle]

50. Republicans

of many walks of life have said these type of things to me a liberal. I have been threatened by fellow workers in the same way, but I never feared because 100% were nothing but blathering cowards. This is what I believe about Teddy Boy. He's got a huge yellow strea k right up his back like most big mouth people like him.

[DaveJ]

51. Republicans think highly of their couches

If a coyote were pissing on my couch my first thought would be, "good excuse to get another couch, I wanted a new one anyway." I'm not sure if I'd let me dog near a coyote. (This is a good time to Google how well dogs get along with coyotes) It's my understanding coyotes are pretty reclusive and (usually) harmless, so I don't think I'd kill one. I'd open the door and wait for it to leave in it's own good time. Then I'd go to work and have a great story to tell. I could buy one of those double doors and keep the bottom one closed.

I know I would not draw any analogy to the framework of our country with a comparison to sofas. It would be dangerous to allow our country to fall into the hands of people who prize their couches like complete idiots.
