Just watched Ted Nugent...

[RoeBear]

...after reading what a whack job he is I was flipping through the channels and landed on one of his out door shows.

Well, he is certainly different. Way different. He didn't say anthing overly offensive (unless you're a vegetarian and don't like to hear animals described as food) and nothing racist (not like I expected that to get on the air).

He went on to say that he either doesn't drink and do drugs or else he said he's never done either. Not sure how he put it. He seems like he's on speed though, can't imagine what he would be like on drugs.

1. Nugent can go fuck himself...

He hasnt been "cool" since Damn Yankees. While he was in Iraq he should have picked up a gun and searched for those elusive WMD's. Better to lose a washed up singer than a valued member of the armed forces.

[Union Thug]

4. Damn Yankees?

He hasn't been cool since the Amboy Dukes!

Geezus, I remember seeing him on his "wango tango" tour. The Scorpions blew his ass off the stage.

[physioex]

5. It was a joke.....

Wink Wink ;)

[Union Thug]

9. Sorry, I should have known that...

... but you never know.. some people liked Damned Yankees. <well, someone must have..>

Funny thing was, the show I'm talking about came after the Scorpions released their first real 'commercial' album, The Zoo or whatever the hell it was... so even though their show wasn't much good either..except for when they played their old songs (like Sails of Charon), they STILL made Ted Nugent look like a 'tard.

[Carni]

6. I saw him as a warm up for Aerosmith in 76

He sucked BIG TIME...I HATE THAT GUY! lol

[RoeBear]

8. He was in...

...a Broadway musical?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. Trust me on this...

For verily, I know of what I speak: Theo is a Royal Jerkoff.

Try to listen to some recordings of his radio show from Detroit. You will have a different view of him, post that.

[Wickerman]

3. Well, that is one occassion where he behaved himself

However, there is a slew of other moments that can be foudn where he didn't.

If you have ever listened to Amboy Dukes Journey to the Center of the Mind I'd have to say he is lying if he said he NEVER did drugs...

I know I wish the RKBAers didn't have him as a role model. He does the cause no favors.

[RoeBear]

7. He said he might run for Governor of Mchigan...

...not like he'd stand a chance against Jennifer Grandholm (she's doing a great job) but it would certainly be an interesting campaign.

[UpsideDownFlag]

10. my dad used to listen to him.

back in the day. now he refers to him as an 'old fart'.

[MrBenchley]

14. Turns out he behaved himself for five whole minutes...

He could have been his usual shitty self for the rest of the half hour.

"I wish the RKBAers didn't have him as a role model."
There's always Ann Coulter. Or Grover Norquist.

[skippythwndrdog]

21. Don't lump us all together LB

As I recall, it's an anti or two that keep saying he's a role model for the RKBA crowd.

He's certainly no role model of mine and I'm as pro RKBA as the come. I think we need to repeal everything back to pre-1934 standards for firearms ownership and be done with it.

(Surviving Nugent is kind of a hoot to watch in a dirty, grotesque sort of way. Call it Satellite Slumming.)

[MrBenchley]

24. "it's an anti or two that keep saying he's a role model"

Yeah, just look at who started this threa- oops!

"Call it Satellite Slumming."
No thanks...I get my hilarity and fun from gun crazy morons somewhere else than Ted's show....and I don't have to add to his ratings...

[skippythwndrdog]

26. Where is it again?

Go ahead. Show me any post at any time wherein any pro-RKBA poster has stated that Ted's a swell guy. Show me where he's been held aloft as a role model by any poster on this board aside from the anti's.

Oops. I forgot. There won't be any examples coming because there aren't any, but I'm sure I'll get my daily dose of obfuscation ind invective with a dash of profanity thrown in.

Keep on keeping on with your uual style, MrB. You're the best ally the RKBA group has.

[MrBenchley]

28. Gee, skippy...who started this thread...and why?

"You're the best ally the RKBA group has. "
Yeah, it shows....

[MrBenchley]

11. Wow!

Why, it's almost as if evidence of his racist idiotic statements, or his cowardice, or his dishonesty, or his scummy personal character has never ever appeared in this forum more than 40 or 50 times.

Guess old Ted must be just aces, then. Imagine that, an entire half-hour where he didn't say anything overtly racist. Must be a new record for apartheid's last champion, the toast of Sun City.

It sure is great to see somebody so intensely concerned with racism that he frets over Iverglas using the tem "in spades," giving racist Ted Nugent a clean bill of health (snicker). It sure confirms my view of the RKBA cause's honesty and decency.

[RoeBear]

12. "giving racist Ted Nugent a clean bill of health"

Is that what your feverish little mind thought I said?
That is so sad MrBenchley, I really thought that your reading comprehension skills were better than that. I merely reported what I saw in the 5 minutes that I watched his show. How and why you would assume that I watched his show for half and hour is beyond me.

But what is further beyond me is why you would call into question my
honesty and decency.

[MrBenchley]

13. Gee, roe...what else ARE you trying to do here?

"I merely reported what I saw in the 5 minutes that I watched his show"
What's next, roe? "The Aryan Nation don't seem like such a bad sort once you get to know them." That must have been some powerful five minutes to make up for a public record as one of America's best known racist pinheads.

"But what is further beyond me is why you would call into question my honesty and decency."
Gee, are you the whole RKBA crowd now? Of course, if they didn't spend so much time trying to stick up for the scum of the earth and trying to smear every liberal or Democrat anyone's ever heard of, they might not encounter that sort of reaction.

[RoeBear]

15. You directly called ME...

..a dishonest and indecent person. If that isn't what you meant to say you can retract it now.

20. I live in the world where Ted Nugent is racist scum

who's on the board of a scummy bunch of right wing fuckwits who pimp for the gun industry.

"Where did I "spin away a racist fuckwit's disgraceful public record"? Where did I make a "disgraceful little tribute to Shithead Ted"?"
Good thing "He didn't say anthing overly offensive and nothing racist" isn't any sort of spin, or anything. And of course, it was wonderful to hear that he doesn't drink or do drugs...why, it's almost like somebody was trying to pay tribute to the bigoted piece of shit.

"why did you call me dishonest and indecent AGAIN?"
Guess.

[skippythwndrdog]

29. He's not worth anything in my world.

But it gladdens me that my world is not yours.

[MrBenchley]

30. And yet here you are with post after post

trying to pretend that this disgraceful spin is worthwhile.....

[FatSlob]

17. I stopped being offended by him a long time ago.

Don't take him seriously, nobody else does. There are times when ignoring a problem will make it go away.

[MrBenchley]

18. "nobody else does"

Oh, those that matter do. The people who post right wing horseshit and slander Democrats come and go, and they really don't matter.

"There are times when ignoring a problem will make it go away."
And then there are those that get jeered at in public, and deservedly so. Meanwhile, we keep noticing how many trigger-happy dimwits earn tombstones...and how many lame excuses our "pro gun democrats" have for not saying a single pro-Democrat word on any gun owners' forum anywhere...

[skippythwndrdog]

22. Step away from your keyboard and read RB's origination post

I can find no praise of Nugent there. He didn't even say that he was pleasantly surprised by anything on the show.

All that he noted a that Nugent said nothing racist during the portion of the show he saw and wasn't particularly offensive unless the one taking offense was a vegetarian.

Where I come from, that's an honest opinion but not praise. Where's the problem with a member stating what he briefly observed? I've even seen Shrub act decent on occasion, but that doesn't mean I like him, like his politics, or that he will get my vote (he won't unless I have a massive brain injury between now and November and the comatose are allowed to vote.) It simply means that he can occasionall act semi-human.

eduted fer spelin

[MrBenchley]

23. Skippy decides to pretend spin is not spin, for whatever bizarre reason

"Where's the problem with a member stating what he briefly observed?"
I guess there's only a problem when a member observes somebody trying lamely to spin away some gun-crazy fuckwit's lifelong record of bigotry and craziness with a thread like this.

"It simply means that he can occasionall act semi-human."
A-a-a-a-and we're supposed to give a streaming shit about Nugent not living down to his usual disgraceful behavior because?

[skippythwndrdog]

25. It's overcast here today.

C'mon. Tell me it isn't. Don't break a streak.

[MrBenchley]

27. Gee, skippy....

At this point you've more than earned whatever doubt anyone expresses....
