I like sizzling meat on the grill. Wild, huh? Anybody? Now, we all know ol' Nuge isn't by any stretch of the imagination a weirdo when it comes to an omnivorous diet. Especially here in the great Republic of Texas, a smiling, drooling preference for succulent, protein-rich, nutritious backstrap over aromatic mesquite coals is as American and natural and right as Mom, apple pie and the flag. It's beautiful, really.
But a culture war rages against such universal, self-evident truths. It would be laughable if it were not so deranged. Some weirdos actually are on a crusade to outlaw the consumption of flesh.
I have musical touring associates who have been fired from their jobs with ex-Beatle Paul McCartney for sneaking a hamburger. You heard that right. Fired for eating meat by an animal-rights maniac, hard-core vegan bass player

More tolerance from the libs.
I was in an on-line conservative studies class years ago with a man-hating feminist and when I didn't agree with her pro-homosexual statements, I said "live and let live." She went ballistic and, of course, called me a bigot and every other thing she could think of. She failed to grasp the concept that other people have the right to their opinion.
I’m fixin’ to grill me a Bambi backstrap.
My kids had me over for fathers day to bbq and watch NASCAR. We had pork chops, shrimp, venison all on the barbie and also had deep pit elk.
A large crowd greeted Ted Nugent at the riverfront. Nugent received several cheers for his statements, like when he held up a machinegun and proclaimed, “You can’t do this in France” and “Hillary sucks”. When Nugent was informed that machineguns weren’t legal in Iowa he shouted, “Eat me!” and received another round of applause.
I think that follows the line of Socialists. Do as I say, not as I do.
She hates sarcasm, so I always make a big deal about how UNFAIR it is for us to use mines instead of expendable live bodies.
Her DVD with him in that shirt has made me so I can't stand Paul McCartney.
Totally incoherent. I thought I was going to learn what actually happened to the McCartney employee. Without any details this is just so much blather.

What happened? Well it sounds like one of McCartney’s crew got fired for eating meat. While there could always be more to the story I find the source credible and the claim plausible. This article was by Ted Nudgent not some “professional reporter” at CNN so excuse us for not providing you with more details.
I googled as many keywords as I could come up with and couldn’t even find the story. Some guy gets fired, somehow Nugent hears about it, and that passes as truth? Not with me, it don’t.
The employee was fired for eating a burger. The rest of the story is that Paul McCartney is a flippin’ idiot.
Like I really care.
Then why’d you write to me, dumb@ss?
So he says.
Well it seems Mr. Huck would rather trust CNN than Ted Nugent's ears. Huck is complaining because he tried Google and couldn't find the "story". LOL!
Hey Huck -- did you ever consider that perhaps the reason you didn't find it on Google is because it wasn't captured by a "professional reporter"? It was obviously the result of a conversation between Ted Nugent and a roadie or someone who used to work for McCartney. Perhaps just a passing conversation he heard and passed on. Inside information so to speak. Ted Nugent's word is good enough for me on this story.
So just go back to your Google or wherever you were and move on if you don't like Ted Nugent.
And you stay in this relationship because...?
Who said anything about CNN?
Huck is complaining because he tried Google and couldn't find the "story". LOL!
Wanting proof something actually happened sure is funny.
Perhaps just a passing conversation he heard and passed on.
Exactly. Third hand bullshirt. Something that obviously makes you feel right at home.
Ted Nugent's word is good enough for me on this story.
Of course it is.
So just go back to your Google or wherever you were and move on if you don't like Ted Nugent.
LOL! Oh man, you are funny.
Proof? What the heck are you talking about? And you think Google is "proof"? You think CNN is "proof"? This is simply an article by Ted Nugent relating a conversation he had. Are you calling him a liar? What is more plausible - McCartney firing a meat eater or Ted Nugent lying about it?
If you don't like it then why are you disrupting this thread? Get lost.
Who’s disrupting? Yer the one keeps hassling me. I made one comment that evidently got yer panties in a bunch. You don’t like what I had to say? Too bad.
We had my kids over for Father’s Day. The wife wanted a break from the venison, so we had steaks on Saturday and smoked burgers on Sunday.
Maybe we gun owners should change it to “let live, and live.”
That being the counterpart of “oppress us, and die.”
Well said, Ted.
A) PETAsses don’t like me eating meat.
B) PETAsses want to break the social contract.
C) PETAsses want impose their will on me.
D) PETAsses want to outlaw the killing of aminals.
Is it OK for me to:
A) Not like PETAsses?
B) Break the social contract with the PETAsses?
C) Impose my will on the PETAsses?
C) And kill them?
Here’s what I wrote about liberal “tolerance” on one of my webpages in 2005:
Apparently liberalism now means the opposite of what it used to mean. Liberals used to be populists; now they’re elitists. Whereas they used to favor human rights and the spread of democracy, now they don’t care; note their lack of enthusiasm for the recent elections in Afghanistan and Iraq, and how Jimmy Carter went from being the human rights president to the former president who never met a dictator he didn’t like. The Democratic Party used to portray itself as “the party of love”; now, except on the gay-marriage issue, it’s the party of hate. College campuses, the best place to find liberals in most communities, used to be bastions of free speech; now they censor even harmless comments, pictures, etc., in the name of “political correctness.” Most telling of all, liberals used to embrace change for its own sake, but now they’re often afraid to try any new policy, calling it a “risky scheme.”

Nugent at his very finest. I am proud of him for understand that all this leftism can only lead to Hugo Chavez and the fact that even Nugent knows about Chavez’s shutdown of RCTV.
Good job, Ted Nugent, you are a true freedom fighter.
tasteless odorless crud.
like barack hussein obama?
Thanks! Well put.
Now if only Ted was running for 2008.
If no Ted, I’ll settle for Fred.
Who is Ted Nugent to tell Paul McCartney whom he should or should not fire? It’s his business, he can run it as he likes. And would Ted hire a tofu-head as a roadie more quickly than Paul would hire a burger-lover? I doubt it.
This poster disrupts a lot of threads with liberal trash.
He’s disgusting.
WHo really cares if it’s true or not anyway. McCartney——like any company can fire you because you dyed your hair blond if they want to. Big deal.
Next time, ask to see the certificate guaranteeing that the the bass player's tee shirt was not made by child or slave labor.
If I took as much LSD as Paul McCartney then I couldn’t eat anything with a face either.
Supposedly he only took LSD once and didn’t like it. I think John and George probably dabbled more heavily in that stuff. Paul is, by Beatles standards anyway, pretty conservative, because he has a happy disposition. He’s not trying to escape anything.
You must be reading a different article. Nugent doesn’t state that McCartney doesn’t have the right to fire whoever he wants.
What Nugent says is “Neither I, nor any hunter or meat eater on the planet, has any desire whatsoever to influence any vegetarian’s choice of diet or to force them to eat meat. We are the friendly, tolerant Americans.
This is but one of many issues that represent the line drawn in the sand between liberals and conservatives.”
So Nugent is pointing out the hypocrisy of the left and how intolerant they are.
His points about liberal intolerance are mostly good ones, but I think by butting into somone's private matters this way, not to mention boasting about his food preferences and ridiculing someone elses, he's doing just what he's complaining about.
I don’t understand your point. He is expressing his opinion which is that veggies are intolerant. He doesn’t impose his meat eating preferences on others but militant veggies like McCartney do.
Contemporary “Vegism” is merely one manifestation of the totalitarian impulse that is the root of today’s social disorders.
Nugent is right - “Live and let live” is antipathetic to “progress”, “equality”, “animal rights”, and suchlike lefty delusions.
My point is that he's being intolerant of Paul McCartney's choices. Paul has every right to hire and fire anyone he likes based on personal and other criteria.
Some veggies are intolerant, and so are some meat-eaters. I don't feel a lot of respect for other diets coming from Mr. Nugent. Would he fire someone for it? I have no idea, but I'd be surprised if a tofu head on his staff would admit to it.
I agree 100% if you're talking about militant political veggie activism, but vegism per se is no different than meatism in my opinion.
