WORLEY, Idaho — A Native American tribe has canceled an Aug. 4 concert by Ted Nugent at its casino.

The Coeur d'Alene Tribe on Monday said that the cancellation of the concert at the casino in the northwest Idaho city of Worley was because of the rocker's "racist and hate-filled remarks."

Everything is racist. It rings so hollow.

The turd burglar tribe is screeching about Tony Dungy now because he said he wouldn’t draft Michael Samm.

booked him specifically to CANCEL him.

And this has everything to do with GUNS, and NOTHING to do with race.

State Authorities should require the casino to allow Nugent to play and require that management go for sensitivity training.

Oh wait a minute, this isn’t about a wedding cake.

I was planning on having Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Elizabeth Warren over to my house for dinner, but have cancelled because of their hate filled and racist remarks.

Perhaps there were complaints and maybe threats and the organization succumbed to those protests.

Thanks.

I'm a Nugent fan. In fact I talked to him on the phone once. Actually I was working at a radio station at the time and I was setting him up to be interviewed.

The lyrics sound a little on the romantic side. I don't doubt that Indians used to use buffalo for food, clothing, shelter and whatnot but they used to drive herds over cliffs by the hundreds, maybe thousands as opposed to killing them one-by-one as necessary.

So, if the buffalo has disappeared from the field, the Indians had as much to do with that as the white man.
