Nugent’s a “provocateur””? I can’t ever recall seeing Sharpton, Jackson, Cher, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Samuel L. Jackson or any other Hollyweird leftist referred to as a “provocateur” when they speak on politically charged issues.
I hate to defend a Hollywood moron, but Brad Pitt seems to keep his mouth shut. He is at least quite about his politics. All the others you mentioned are exactly that. Punks.
