The only thing that makes me mad about all of this is that I'm sitting here reading this and not out bow hunting with Nuge.

"Whenever someone sports the Confederate battle flag, many Texans will be offended, and rightly so, because of what it symbolizes: the enslavement of African-Americans and more recently the symbol of hate groups and terrorists," said Gary Bledsoe, president of the Texas chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Screw off.

So we all have equal rights to be ill-mannered insensitive oafs who enjoy gratuitously alienating large segments of the electorate at political events just for the heck of it? I suppose you're right, but it sure seems pretty stupid & self-defeating to me, no matter who does it.

Does this guy really want to win as many folks over to his 1st amendment cause as he can? Or is it really all just about him getting high-fives from the good ol' boys who are already in his corner?

"for the record, all on tape & film, there was no AK47 or anything resembling 1 & my only immigration statement was that WANGO TANGO was the official immigration themesong. These lefties are terminally inebriated on dishonesty. so be it."

Ted's definitely out there. But that one of the reasons I love him!

[libs_kma]

Know what the best part of this is? Do you think the Motor City Madman is going to open his checkbook for Je$$e or RevAl over this?

Does anyone think those race pimps even have the nads to ask Terrible Ted for a check?

That puts a big smile on my face! ;)

[tumblindice]

Contestants--it's time for Double Jeopardy!
One of these statements is cool and one is not cool:
"Wearing a cutoff T-shirt emblazoned with the Confederate flag" and,
"Ted's mah niggah!"
Please frame your answer in the form of a question.
doo doo doo do, doo do doo,
doo doo doo do, doot! do do do do do . . .

What is "doo-doo"?
That's correct!

Flagrantly and publicly smacking political correctness in the face is a worthy goal in and of itself.

Rock and Roll PING! email Weegee to get on/off this list (or grab it yourself to PING the rest) Don't blame me, I voted for Kinky.

[Mr. Mojo]

Yep, Ted would laugh at any shakedown attempt. ....and then he'd fire back, telling those race pimps exactly what he thought of them.

[leilani]

Alright then. I retract my statement if the news report was erroneous & that's all that happened.That's pretty tame.

And actually I'd be more inclined to take his word about what transpired over the Statesman's reporter's account. Come to think of it, I'd be inclined to take just about anybody's word about what transpired than that of an AA-S reporter, even Jon Lovitz's.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" shouting unflattering remarks about undocumented immigrants, including kicking them out of the country,.."

Oh, the horrors ! Unflattering remarks ?
What did he say- your mama wears a serape ?
Why next Uncle Ted will be advocating putting criminals in jail !

" Nugent, a hunting and gun advocate, could not comment on his inaugural appearance. He was hunting,..."
BWAAA!!!

[weegee]

Isn't it disrespectful to cut up a flag and to wear it as a t-shirt?

So Ted is "dissin'" the rebel flag.

What's the problem here?

[polymuser]

He'd have been appreciated much more if he'd been wearing a Mexican flag, and using a crossing map and S.S. card for props.

[weegee]

Rick Perry, former Democrat, flip flopped on the issue of border security and illegal immigration after the election. He cannot be pleased by Ted's performance.

Amazing how NO ONE complained when KarLaRazaRove sucked up to La Raza.

What hypocrites!
