The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today condemned a Facebook post by rock musician and gun rights activist Ted Nugent suggesting that prominent Jewish Americans are behind the advocacy for stronger gun control laws.
Earlier today, Nugent shared a graphic titled “So who is really behind gun control?†on his Facebook page. The visual featured thumbnail photos of prominent Jewish Americans, including former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Chuck Schumer, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and several others, with each photo emblazoned with the Israeli flag.
The post was accompanied by a written message from Nugent: “Know these punks. They hate freedom, they hate good over evil. They would deny us the basic human right to self defense & to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS while many of them have tax paid hired ARMED security! Know them well. Tell every1 you know how evil they are.â€
The visual was apparently not created by Nugent, but has appeared in the past on anti-Semitic web sites.
Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO, issued the following statement:
“Ted Nugent has a long history of being an equal opportunity offender. But his latest share on Facebook, making the outrageous suggestion that Jews are behind gun control, is nothing short of conspiratorial anti-Semitism. Regardless of one’s views on gun control, this kind of scapegoating of an entire religious group is completely unacceptable and completely divorced from reality.
“It should go without saying that anti-Semitism has no place in the gun control debate. Nugent should be ashamed for promoting anti-Semitic content, and we hope that good people on both sides of the gun control debate will reject his tactics and his message. We hope that Nugent will have the good sense to remove this share immediately so that it does not spread virally across the internet.â€
In January 2014, ADL spoke out after Nugent made public remarks comparing film producer Harvey Weinstein to Hitler’s chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, charging that Weinstein was out to “destroy the NRA.â€
run >>> gun
Yikes!
LOL, even with “run” substituted for “gun”?
Well, I hope the point came across. I don’t like antisemitism.
The truth is just what it is.
Liberal Jews don’t like guns even though they arguably should be the one group that needs them the most relatively speaking
Though right now the Meteorite worshippers are killing each other and Christians about 10,000 to 1 over the rate they kill Jews but they will get to y’all trust me
No offense to Jewish conservatives but one day the once deserved Holocaust victim card will run out and there will have to be an honest discussion
I will never understand why it at least appears to me the Larry Davids and Harvey Weinsteins and Chuck Schumers and Mark Potoks and Mikey Weinsteins and Debbie Wasserman Schultzs et al of the world detest and fear Christian conservative power more than they do Islam and they are at the forefront of dismantling western culture and tradition here in favor of cultural Marxism and at the same time throw their blood kin in Israel under the bus in hostile territory to further these goals
They betray America and Israel and Ted called them on it
And some say do not criticize them as Jews for it.
Why?
It’s the same train of thought about every time the Islamists kill in the west the first impulse is to lecture ourselves about a backlash against those killing or trying to destroy us
Right thinking Jews sure don’t think like this but they get shouted down by the libtard majority just like decent blacks do
It's not a coincidence, they're all Jews and all in favor of gun control. It is clear from his post, Nugent chose to blame gun control on eight Jews. So there was no mistake, he labeled them as Jews, with a Star of David. Presumably those eight are able to override the opinions of vast majority of the population, who are Christians. They places you find illustrations like that would inform you that small numbers of Jews can easily control large numbers of Christians, just read the Protocols. You'll note he's defended his illustration on his Facebook page post outrage
He stands by his characterization.
Christian body count at the hands of the Muzz scum is beyond trying to parse it higher than the few Jews killed by Muzz garbage lately
So why aren’t we getting some group hugs?
That's frequently the case on FR. And he's a popular figure on the right. His further comment
Just when you hope that mankind couldnt possibly get any dumber or more dishonest, superFreaks rise to the occasion. What sort of racist prejudiced POS could possibly not know that Jews for guncontrol are nazis in disguise? "NEVER AGAIN!" Anyone? Anyone?? RUFKM! The founder of Jews For the Preservation of Firearms Ownership called me his 2nd Amendment/Freedom hero. The NEVER AGAIN battlecry was universally embraced by all good people who will make sure another Holocaust never happens again. Freaks have plummeted to whole new low. Plummet on punks. Plummet on. Meanwhile I adjust my yamika at my barmitzva playing my kosher guitar. My dad killed nazis & saved Jews in WWII. Eat me. http://m.nydailynews.com/…/ted-nugent-posts-anti-semitic-im…
He stands by his post.
No, this thing is bad. It is saying all these liberal stiffs are all secret Israeli agents or something and want to disarm the US and have some connection to 9/11. It’s kooky evil mouthbreather stuff, wackadoo Jack Chick crap.
The captions are the terrible thing, I hope they were missed or something by Nugent.
Freegards
It has nothing to do with Judaism but it sure as hell has a lot to do with this liberal somewhat Jewish identity mindset
It’s prevalent as hell but no I don’t think they justify it through Judaism
They can’t....I wish they’d try ....it might change them
It’s a paradox
They love the exclusivity of being Jewish usually by birth yet they reject their faith by and large
It’s like Groundhog Day for most of them
At the foot of Mt Sinai forever giving up on Moses and worshipping false gods like secular humanism or the earth or Gaia or pure political power
And sad for them is it’s a dark road they are on
Sad for us is their influence in culture is pretty damn high
.
“What is truth?”
.
Let me get this straight?
Ted Nugent says Jewish libtards in America and their huge influence are really Israeli agents trying to disarm America?
That makes no sense
If true the moderators should yank this thread
I’m going to go and actually read it for myself
....a rare thing for freepers....actually read the article....we generally just look at the pictures
I bear animosity toward many of these same individuals.
Not because they are Jewish.
Because they are totalitarians.
.
The star is not of David, it is of his son’s pagan wife.
Anyway, most here on the thread misunderstood to which graphic Borges had referred.
.
Silly. Nobody defends Judaism more than me. But this is factual and true. And these people need special shaming for enabling the next nazis. And i guarantee each one of them has paid lip service to the “never again” concept. Fair game.
Not up to me research something if the poster is too delicate to post it for me.
You’re right. It’s not repugnant at all to me.

Every Jew I know voted for Obolo, supports gun control and Hillary. They all vote Demorat. I have been defending these people for half a century. I’m done with them. Even the Hasidim sold their votes to Hillary in NY. Seriously, I’m done with them. Their friends the Black Panthers would like to push them in the ovens and their man in DC is supporting Iran and has hands off ISIS. A person can only take so much.
“The star is not of David, it is of his son’s pagan wife.”
So, you’re saying the Nazis made Jews wear 6 pointed yellow stars to clearly identify them as pagans?
And the Israeli flag has that blue 6-pointed star to signify that it is the pagan state?
Please. Get serious. Everyone knows that the reference to the star of David is common parlance for the six-pointed star that appears on the Israeli flag’s such as those on Nugent’s despicable graphic and is nowadays almost universally recognized as referring to Jews and or Israel.
There are plenty of conservative Jews, many on FR and you damn well know it. So don’t give us any of your “I’m done with them” crap.
Yes, me too, but Ted’s clear point was that they are Jewish, identified as such for those who don’t get it, and those eight are the ones who are behind gun control.
I guess you don't know any Freeper Jews, which is strange considerably how long you've been here. Here's some you may want to meet as well.
