In reply to the discussion: Nugent says he's insulted by concert cancellation [View all]pasto76
(1,589 posts)28. can we not use the right wing buzz words and labels? "terroristic"?
was it "terroristic" when dude tried to assasinate Reagan? When Kennedy was killed? Lincoln? Um, no. So can we not use the same drama and hype mechanism that the right does?
Nugent was inciting violence against the President. Period. Not a schmidgen less illegal, immoral and dangerous to the POTUS and his family. That's what it was, and THAT is extremely powerful.
love how he is the victim, is "insulted" - think President Obama wasnt insulted by comparing him to a coyote? Hmm. Too late for Nugent to ever grow up. But when you run your mouth sometimes there are repercussions. Sorry your "celebrity" doesnt get you out of it.
