Idiocy and elitism from Vermont (Claims that there is no anti-hunting movement)
Marathon Pundit ^ | January 29, 2006 | Marathon Pundit

A picture similar to the one below attracted to me to an op-ed by Jon Margolis, who used to write about politics regularly for the Chicago Tribune. Jon's moved on and out-- he lives in Vermont. An author, he wrote this book, The Last Innocent Year: America in 1964 : The Beginning of the "Sixties." Yes, another book about "the Sixties."

If it wasn't for a picture of Republican rocker Ted Nugent, would've skipped the article, Tribal America defends right to ignore facts.

Free registration may be required.

It's a typical, "Man, most Americans (but not me) are dumb" piece. And among the dummies is Ted Nugent.

Here is a key excerpt:

What seems to excite Nugent as much as hunting--maybe more--is antagonism to anti-hunting, not just the individuals and the organizations, but the mind-set.

Nothing else accounts for the anger. After all, there is no visible anti-hunting movement. Still, some hunters become infuriated about the mere existence of anti-hunting sentiment, impotent though it may be.

Look who's dumb, Jon: Here are some anti-hunting web sites. And no, they're not impotent.

International Fund for Animal Welfare
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
Bloody Business
Ban Hunting

For the record, I don't hunt and I don't own a gun.

Thanks to hockey on OLN, I've been introduced to "Wanted: Ted or Alive" which usually follows the hockey game. Nugent is one of a kind and he's having too much fun for one person!
BTW, Minnesota Wild vs. Colorado Avalanche at 9 p.m. ET tonight on OLN.
