I'm sorry you don't know his background. You can easily find it all. And it's been used for years by people on the left to demean gun owners.
In a High Times article, 72 I believe, he detailed morphing into a filthy individual of questionable value by not bathing for a month, eating poorly and snorting crystal meth and smearing himself with his feces and urine. You can easily find the article. Later he recanted, claimed he was just raising hell, and the he just got a student deferment, then a 1Y when he went for his physical. Had some not very nice things to say about the military, but forget that, if his second explanation is true, he's no different than Rush Limbaugh and many others. Other than claiming to be a veteran, based on his entertainment of the troops, which is a good thing.
Just as you can easily find the information about his in and out of wedlock children, how with the parents permission he became legal guardian of a 17 year old since they couldn't get married. That one puzzles me. And accusations by girls as young as 12. Courtney Young claims he was the first she gave oral sex to, at 12. This is old stuff. From Jailbait
Well, I don't care if you're just 13You look too good to be true
I just know that you're probably clean...
Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine...
It's quite alright, I asked your mama
Wait a minute, officer
Don't put those handcuffs on me
Put them on her, and I'll share her with you
I find the lyrics disgusting. Like Piss Christ. As a Nugent fan you must be more selective.
Not a big music fan or a fan of Alice Cooper, but when he said If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we’re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal. Besides,†he continued, “when I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn’t already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched
That's the baggage Ted brings, if politicians and organizations want it, their choice, but imo a bad one.
Excuse me? Since when is a deferrable medical condition the same as a 1-Y? Which latter is the deferment given convicts and other undesirables in days gone by.
I gather you dislike Rush Limbaugh. Care to elaborate?
Ummmm, that's a little too Mike Savage, a little too dramatic. I didn't assert anything of the sort, and I have to challenge you on that, since it would seem to be acquiescing in antisemitic argle-bargle not to. Is that what you had in mind, a passive-aggressive accusation?
And no, I'm not going to fall for trying to prove a negative here, especially on your motion.

I'm not a Nugent music fan. I know him mostly from some radio appearances and a late-night interview or two over 20 years. Not to be repetitious, your accusations are fresh to me, and it bothers me that you are very heavily invested in these accusations, some of which, as per your post, come from High Times and other hard-Left sources, which you seem to want to appease by throwing them Nugent's head.
The song lyrics are autobiographical, is that your point? As opposed to Janis Joplin's lyrics in "Me and Bobby McGee", which aren't.
Jimi Hendrix's arrangement of "All Along the Watchtower" featured lyrics by Bob Dylan. So who gets the credit for the references to homosexual sodomy? Or was Dylan writing about someone else's experiences?
I suppose Nugent could be guilty as charged. Could. But you're way ahead of me, which is why I asked you in the first place, what was it you wanted to do with Nugent.
I gather from posts in the interim that you wanted him kicked off the NRA board, failing which you resigned your life membership, so it isn't rocket science that you are really, steamily pissed at Nugent ..... and it goes back years.
