Rocker Ted Nugent, who just made media waves with a printed reference of President Obama as a “subhuman mongrel,” now says he’s going stop calling people names — but apparently not the name “liar.”
Mr. Nugent said in CNN: “Instead of using terms like ‘subhuman mongrel,’ I’m going to get right to the meat of the matter where our president is a liar. He lies about you can keep your doctor, period. Over and over again, he lies about Benghazi. He’s lying about the IRS.”

What the MSM doesn’t realize about Ted is that he has VERY rough edges but he has a HEART OF GOLD!
How do you identify a problem without naming IT.?.
Calling IT what it “”IS”...
Name calling is.... calling a spade a spade.. taking names and renaming them..
The Art of the Insult.. has a long tradition... an honored endeavor..
Calling a treasonous son of a bitch.. an honored colleague is BULL SPERM..
Making you a mealy mouth mouth breather..
It’s TIME to get BACK to creative hyperbole..
Comedic name calling is an American tradition..
Expected and a worthy investment of time..
Calling a liar a liar is not pejorative it’s descriptive.
It’s not name-calling if it’s true.
Mr. President, apparently.
That depends on how busy the airport was.
“LIAR” isn’t name calling, it’s the TRUTH.
If a person says something that he knows is false and then repeats it, multiple times, what else is he/
Sorry, but PC responses don’t correct the issue. See the Emperor’s responses for proof of statement.
Ted was just excercising his First Amendment Right to call a”Spade A Spade”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
None of the above. A spade is a shovel.
Keep calling 0bungle a liar. This is the truth
O.K.
However, and slightly aside from the topic....or person....under discussion, methinks the term, “calling a spade a spade” actually originated in reference to gambling with playing cards.
From wikipedia:
The phrase previously appeared in chapter 1 of Joseph Devlin’s book “How to Speak and Write Correctly” (1910)[2] where he satirized speakers who chose their words to show superiority:
For instance, you may not want to call a spade a spade. You may prefer to call it a spatulous device for abrading the surface of the soil. Better, however, to stick to the old familiar, simple name that your grandfather called it.
LOL all Hussein’s end up badly don’t they?
Go Ted!
He’s making an allegation, not name-calling.
Why is the Washington Times ripping into Nugent lately? Seems to me that folks who speak the truth about BO ought to be applauded.
You can vent all you want, but it will not change the fact that the term, “calling a spade a spade” originated with poker players. The word “spade” also has been known to have racial connotations in some regions of the Country in times past.
Good evening.
Venting? Quoting someone that says different from your OPINION (you have shown nothing that proves your assertion) is hardly “venting”. Go away and come back when you have something that resembles reasonable intelligence.
And, yes, I am aware that blacks have been called “spades” as in “black as the ace of spades”.
