After some of the outrageously hateful shit Ted has said about Barack, Hillary, amd other Democrats, I don't know how any self-respecting liberal/progressive could even tolerate the presence of Nugent. His "content of character" is likely emptier than #45's. Remember these Nugent gems?
“If Barack Obama becomes the next president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.” (That particular crack earned Ted a visit from the Secret Service.)
"I've never suggested anybody get hung, except the one time after Benghazi, I recommended that Hillary Clinton be charged, arrested, tried and hung," Nugent said... "What she did as secretary of state was certainly treasonous, and I stand by that."
"Obama, he's a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun. Let's hear it for him. And then I was in New York. I said, "Hey, Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch. Since I'm in California, how about [Senator] Barbara Boxer [D-CA], she might want to suck on my machine gun. And [Senator] Dianne Feinstein [D-CA], ride one of these you worthless whore. Any questions?"

Tom Morello says Ted Nugent is a "good friend": "We have very similar views on freedom of speech"
Given their vastly different political views, you might think Tom Morello and Ted Nugent wouldn't get along. However, the Rage Against the Machine and Prophets of Rage guitarist says the outspoken conservative rocker is "a good friend."
"We have very similar views on freedom of speech," Morello tells The Guardian. "His libertarian edge and my anarchist edge overlap considerably."
Morello does say he'll reach out to Nugent, who visited President Donald Trump with Kid Rock and Sarah Palin at the White House earlier this year, when he "says something outrageous that will fire up his racist base."
"I'll text him to say, 'Dude. What are you on about?'" Morello says. "We're able to talk about it as friends as opposed to people on the opposite sides of the barricade."
Morello and Prophets of Rage released their self-titled debut album earlier this year. The rap-rock supergroup will hit a number of festivals this fall, including Louder than Life, Voodoo and Ozzfest.

Note: On a recent overtime segment of Bill Maher's "Real Time", Morello recently confirmed his friendship with Nugent, mentioning that he texts his pal Ted when "he's out of line." Like that'll make Ted straighten up and fly right.
