Sen. Rand Paul said in a Twitter message that rocker-turned-activist Ted Nugent ought to apologize for making “offensive” remarks about President Obama.
Mr. Nugent made the media wave this week with an interview in which he described the president as a “subhuman mongrel,” right before he took to the campaign trail for Texas gubernatorial hopeful Greg Abbott. Mr. Abbott’s aides have since distanced their candidate from Mr. Nugent and quietly removed him from the campaign trail, Newsmax reported.
Late Thursday evening, Mr. Paul made his view of the situation clear.
In a tweet, he wrote: “Ted Nugent’s derogatory description of President Obama is offensive and has no place in politics. He should apologize.”
Mr. Paul wasn’t the only GOPer to weigh in. Sen. Ted Cruz said “of course” he didn’t agree with Mr. Nugent’s assessment of the president, The Hill reported. And Gov. Rick Perry said he didn’t like the use of the word “mongrel” to describe a president, The Hill said.

Mr. Nugent originally made the remarks in an interview with Guns.com. His full statement: “I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame, enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America.”

What the hell is Rand Paul complaining about?
Leni
Yes, understood.
Damn!
This guy is toast as far as I’m concerned.
Uncle Ted kind of summed it up for me. I didn’t hear any Dems complaining when GW was getting called a baby killer and God knows what else.
I had hoped never to hear from the demented doctor agains. Evidenty he needs to be buried at a crossroads with a pile of garlic over him.
Rand Paul is looking much too much like the establishment he supposedly opposes.
Rand Paul has sold my values out for the last time. I will stand with Ted before I will a quisling.
What did Ted Nugent say that was not the truth?
What does everything have to be sanitized for the worst President America has ever had?
Rand Paul needs to STHU. Getting tired of his pontificating.
You forgot... gangster.
I wouldn’t have said what Ted said.
I like dogs.
Me too. We are moving to a communist society at warp speed. His priorities remind me of when I was in the USAF in a Germany. I was in the mail room, talking to a E-9. He reached over and took my hat off because I was inside a building. I thought, the Soviets were a hundred miles away, threatening to blow up the whole world, and all the chump E-9 could worry about, was that I had my hat on, inside a building. Then these chumps wondered why I could not wait to retire.
Too bad that Uncle Ted didn’t decide to run against John Wayne McCornyn in this Primary.
I figured you did, but I just wanted to make sure.
Have a great day, FRiend!
Agreed.
He’s shown himself to be a poseur for certain. Better to find out early, though.
can’t beat up on the black guy...he can beat the $h!t out of you, but you can’t say a damned thing about it because it’s “racist”.
I think a “subhuman mongrel” is a step up from what I think about him.
What did Nugent say? Did he lie? I don’t think so
*************************
Yes. Our enemy is not Ted Nugent, or patriots like him. Instead, it is those who would distract from and deny the real dangers that we are facing in this country.
You too! :)
I don’t like his white half any better than I like his black half.
