I would put Nugent in roughly the same category as Donald Trump: brash, outrageous, and immune to the stifling boundaries of political correctness. Credible? Debatable. But certainly a refreshing voice of honesty (if not honor) crying in this collapsing wilderness.
There’s no good to way to spin this if it is not, as you say, faked.
We don't know the context of any such comment, if it was made. I knew New Yorkers in the 70s who called it that. One was Jewish. New City, NY got a similar treatment.
It never seemed to be said in a tone any more derogatory than someone calling Chinatown "Chinatown", so I never thought anything of it.
Then again, you could look downthread rather than wasting bandwith with irrelevant, specious comments.
Not as big a problem as Hillary, but it won't help the NRA's profile much, and the left is already using it to reinforce perceptions of Cruz as a loose cannon. Yes, that's mostly going to be read by Dems and left leaning independents, but it's harmful. I agree he's just a guitar player, but despite his longstanding problems young women and his draft dodging the NRA saw fit to put him on their board, and politicians tout his endorsement.
I used far less of that ‘bandwidth’ of which you guardedly cite as a misdeed than you.
I have no idea who “Liel” is. Is that even a real name?
Regardless, is the scribbler of this article a noted 2nd-Amendment supporter? Or is he pretending to be just to attack a noted conservative...one of the very few conservatives in entertainment?
And regardless of all that, why is the scribbler of this piece attacking someone on “our” side if “Liel” isn’t a liberal wearing a conservative mask?
Why isn’t he spending his time ensuring “Bernie Sanders” the outspoken supporter of Soviet-style Communism makes it nowhere near the White House...
...because, he’s a COMMUNIST, you know, and that thing about registering firearms and then confiscating them and then executing people who disagree with their Iron Fist.
I saw that post. He was attacked by the NY Daily News for it. Who cares.
I have to be honest and say, I am sort of ignorant of the entire story here since I do not follow pop music much anymore, but I have heard Ted Nugent live on the radio as a guest and he was totally a fab, cool and head screwed on properly, so I like him. His music is good, too. So I think this is a total hit job on him, and in fact I may check out his music more.
You know, I have found great people, patriotic, nationalists, conservatives, preservatives (new political term, thank you Trump, it’s spreading), winservatives (I invented that one) in every venue from Catholic neighborhood card games to gun clubs to bikers to rockers to dancers to singers to investors to even some bohemian drifters or witches even, there are a lot of Serbs I have come to know who are the greatest Nationalists I have ever met, just because Ted is a rocker doesn’t mean he isn’t yet another genius who besides being welcome to the club is also the type of genius that can help led to a better tomorrow.
Rock on, Ted Nugent, rock on.
Lying about Jews any advancing antisemitic conspiracy does. Portraying dead Jews as having no souls, blaming gun control on Jews exclusively, advancing neo Nazi/Islamist conspiracy theories about 9/11, distributing neo Nazi propaganda and accepting their support are all anti-Semitic acts. Whether he personally hates Jews I doubt.
Nugent has lost his mind on this one, and I just dom’t get it. He did not create the Jew-hating screen he posted, someone on “Stormfront” did. I doubt he even read the small print on it before sharing it on Facebook. But for Ted to then double down and cite past support of a Jewish gun rights groups is ridiculous. The post is horrible. Why doesn’t he just take it down and apologize?
A huge percent of Jews are hyper liberals who want to ban guns, ban free speech and flood the country with liberal voting non-whites even if they’re muslims. And If you mention this they will call you an anti-semite.
I’ve never seen any evidence of any of that.
The image he posted is one that’s been posted on neo Nazi sites in the past, he didn’t create it. His defenders say, well he didn’t create it, he just distributes it, so he’s not responsible. A rather weak argument. The other issues I mentioned, soulless dead Jews, draft dodging, underage women, those are Ted
I guess I could have called the poster who criticized me stupid, but he's probably not, and just wasn't able to look for a comment before posting. If you don't like by use of bandwith by posting here, I'm the wrong one to complain to
I’d much rather hear another Freeper’s thoughts and feelings about something they obviously felt some compunction to link than just some “post it” note. Do what you want. I just won’t respond to linked articles that have no personal comments or thoughts. Things are cryptic enough to have to wade through all that (you aren’t the only one that does it.)
Have a great day and a great thread. I’m sure there was some purpose to it.
Only thing I can think of is that he has built up this fast talking full frontal Nugety persona who is always right and never makes or admits mistakes. But now his facebook page is infested with mouthbreather anti-Jew conspiracy whackjobs attracted to his original blunder, and how can he tell them they are wackjobs now without also admitting he posted it by mistake?
Also, posting the ‘soulless sheep’ thing about Jews being policed with stars is pretty clueless and doubling down on the idiocy. So I don’t know, maybe he really is half wacked or more.
Freegards
Nugent's mouth has never been subtle........
SJackson posts lots of things relating to Israel and the Jewish people.
He is one of the good guys.
I never doubted that he was, nor do I have anything personal against Jews OR Israel.
I was only hoping for some kind of personal comment about what he felt was so important for anyone to go read the article.
