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 Nugent originally made the remarks in an interview with Guns.com.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.”

Rand Paul can go to hell.

Why, whatever do you mean? Nugent is a commoner. He's lucky that he's not in prison.
Again, Isee Rand Paul among the top tier of the “lessers of evil”...but I do not see another Dr ron paul on the horizon!
Semper watching!
*****
The Nudge is fine by me just as long he didn’t call him a jug eared Kenyan mutant, lying POS.
I eagerly await Tedlys response. This oughtta be good.. Apology? Hahahaha, no chance.
To these people this is important! Shaming Abbot and wrecking his election chances in any way possible! Anything to get the "pink shoes" lady elected Governor and turn Texas blue!
What would be wrong with that?
Good point!
Hundreds of Mexican people murdered by the weapons provided by obama, thousands of wounded or dead soldiers because of obamas support of the terrorists, 4 dead in Benghazi with several more wounded and dozens of others under attack and he stopped help from coming so he could party, the firing of officers in a silent coup that is ongoing, the FCC bringing in commissars into the newsrooms and on and on....
I think Ted restrained himself.
Yeah, I do. lol
I demand the FCC invade every newsroom in America and investigate.
How does RP feel a out the phrase N****head?
During tyrannical times, speaking the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
I love you and your rock n roll and patriotism, Ted. Tell it like it is; always and no holds barred.
Paul is beginning to sound a lot like Obama. They have to be yakking about something on TV every time you turn it on. Stiffle yourself, Rand.
Obama called himself a Mutt

When Obama gives condolences to Brian Terry’s family, and apologizes for the 100 or more people who died because of Fast and Furious. When Obama gives a full explanation of what he was doing during Benghazi, why he didn’t do what other country’s did evacuate the embassy, or provide the extra security Ambassador Stevens requested.
Also, when I hear about all these people with Cancer losing their health insurance just before they need surgery I think Obama is heartless for not helping them.
I don’t have a problem with one man admonishing another to take the high road, but if one is going to admonish Ted Nugent in this regard one should not expect repentance.
The Nuge is the only guy I know that has Cojones as big as soft balls. Hey Nuge don’t you dare apologize
