Ted Nugent sounds off

AUSTIN, Texas — As Motor City Madmen go, Jack White and Eminem have nothing on 57-year-old Ted Nugent.

The self-described "Rosa Parks with a guitar and a raised middle finger" might be bringing his right-wing politics-on-steroids to the Michigan Governor's Mansion.

He's considering a "high-percentage maybe" run for the office. He yells at me his platform, which includes something about "cops that have their legs blown off and soldiers who are in wheelchairs and children with leukemia, who don't get the money because some fat pig welfare brat is sitting on his worthless (expletive.)"

[ConservativeStatement]

Dan from Michigan.... :-)

[Onelifetogive]

"cops that have their legs blown off and soldiers who are in wheelchairs and children with leukemia, who don't get the money because some fat pig welfare brat is sitting on his worthless (expletive.)"

It's not exactly the Gettysburg Address.....

[ladyinred]

LOL! But he is right on politically!

[Billthedrill]

"I share campfires, Robert, with terminally ill children, soldiers who have given up their legs and arms and eyes so that I can go hunting, so that you can have a career and I can have a career and we can go barbecuing and we could be the best that we can be and travel across state lines without the Gestapo and the French stopping us."

Oooooh, yeah. And...

On what he would do in the event of a "War of the Worlds"-like alien invasion:

"I'm privy to some firepower dynamics that your average civilian is not and we would just wipe the (expletives) out. And then we'd probably sauté them and use them for bait and kill some bear over their carcasses."

Yowzuh!

[Always Right]

Nugent for Prez....well better Negent than Ventura.

[blackbart.223]

"It's not exactly the Gettysburg Address.."

But it will do.

[blackbart.223]

Ted is the man. Like me he says what he thinks and doesn't give a crap about those that don't agree.

[ConservativeStatement]

I saw him open for KISS about five years ago and it was thrilling.

[bbenton]

Man I like this guy. If he ran for president I would volunteer for him.

[stainlessbanner]

Uncle Ted in the news

[blackbart.223]

"I saw him open for KISS about five years ago and it was thrilling."

I met Ted at an NRA convention here in Reno. He is not a pretentious phony like so many Hollywood and music industry types are.

[ConservativeStatement]

I've seen him interviewed from Stern to Hannity. I always liked him.

[blackbart.223]

"I've seen him interviewed from Stern to Hannity. I always liked him."

I admire anyone with integrity who speaks their mind.

[NJ_gent]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but every time Ted opens his mouth, he sounds more and more in need of serious medication to me. I've heard him in a number of interviews, and thought he was a tad off. I think it was when he went ballistic about some butterflies he was saving on a big swamp he purchased that I really started to consider him completely nuts.

Then again, to each his own.

[Libloather]

He yells at me...

Something to get used to. I'm a bigger fan now since capturing one of his picks thrown to the always excited audience. One of a kind - true American...

[dfwgator]

Wish he'd run for gov in his adopted state of Texas.

[blackbart.223]

You would be better off to be a little less verbose. When you talk too much you run the risk of being boring.

[Outland]

Nuge run for Governor?
Since when does he do something half way?
Nuge for President.
Rock the Oval Orifice.

[Cheapskate]

Yeah, I saw that tour in Peoria too. It was a fun night.

[television is just wrong]

I adore this man.
