At World Net Daily, Ted Nugent outdid himself yesterday. Because the site buries his column, not a lot of people notice the same way they used to when he was in residence at the Washington Times.
Nugent devoted his column to attacking Jim Carrey for the latter’s music video lampoon of Charlton Heston, “Cold Dead Hands.”
The entire column isn’t worth a blink. Except for one line.
Irreverent humor provides me enormous quality of life, and as a big fan of Lenny Bruce, Sam Kinison and Richard Pryor (especially when he was on fire) …
Ahem. Yes, Ted Nugent is certainly the best friend black Americans ever had.
Moving along, I’ve brought you this photo of official Nugent militaria, “a custom Ted Nugent-edition 10mm CQB Elite, with the rocker’s signature engraved into the slide and a handful of other tweaks personally selected by himself, including Wilson Combat Starburst G10 grips and Bulletproof Magwell, a solid medium trigger and a two-tone black and grey Armor-Tuff finish.”
Note the hollow points for maximum stopping power.
When you aim for the trunk of the not-white bad guy or the liberal scum coming out of the city to take your stuff WTSHTF you want the shell to expand and rip a nice big hole in the viscera. So the target falls over immediately and bleeds out.
“This full-custom 1911 pistol exhibits everything Ted wanted in a 10mm defensive and general use handgun and is the only mate in existence to his personal Wilson Combat 10mm,??? reads the piece, an article on an organization called Knife Rights which is raffling off the gun in a money-raiser.
Yes, Knife Rights, the piece informs, fighting alongside the National Rifle Association on the second front, the little known effort to keep the right to own as many bayonets and combat flick knives as you want. Because you never know when you’ll have to use them, preferably on someone smaller.
“The prize 1911 comes with a knife, too, a Wilson Tactical-Hogue Knives Star-Light four-inch tanto tactical folder,” continues the article at GUNS.COM. “Designed to be lightweight and sporting a matching set of G10 grips, the Star-Light is a great everyday-carry piece that sports the same Armor-Tuff finish as Ted’s CQB Elite. The knife retails for $250, and will be autographed by Nugent at the NRA Expo next month.”
The UN’s recent approval of an arms trade treaty has, predictably, whipped WhiteManistan’s crazies into a now bog standard frenzy over its alleged conspiracy to take away America’s guns.
Although implementation is years away and there is no specific enforcement mechanism, proponents say the treaty would for the first time force sellers to consider how their customers will use the weapons and to make that information public. The goal is to curb the sale of weapons that kill tens of thousands of people every year — by, for example, making it harder for Russia to argue that its arms deals with Syria are legal under international law.
The treaty, which took seven years to negotiate, reflects growing international sentiment that the multibillion-dollar weapons trade needs to be held to a moral standard. The hope is that even nations reluctant to ratify the treaty will feel public pressure to abide by its provisions. The treaty calls for sales to be evaluated on whether the weapons will be used to break humanitarian law, foment genocide or war crimes, abet terrorism or organized crime or slaughter women and children …
Members of the General Assembly voted 154 to 3 to approve the Arms Trade Treaty, with 23 abstentions — many from nations with dubious recent human rights records like Bahrain, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
The treaty is an attempt to establish acceptable norms for international arms sales, not domestic.
Nevertheless, it will probably never be ratified by the Senate, because … WhiteManistan!
Indeed, the United States no longer ratifies any treaties because the Republican Party, which controls the Senate from a minority position, has determined that international co-operation, which is what all treaties are about, infringes on American freedom. (In this way a recent treaty to help the world’s weakest, the disabled, was quickly put to death in Congress after decades of effort.)
And that conspiracy theory is now deeply embedded in white right America, which means all of the Republican Party and those Democratic Party senators from red states.
Today, WhiteManistan’s Secretary of Guns and Ammunition, Ted Nugent, told the publisher of his weekly column, what he believes, the mania of which is akin to General Jack Ripper’s belief that fluoridation was a communist plot in Dr. Strangelove.
“I believe we the people have made it rather clear that ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ is more than a song,??? Nugent said in an interview with WND today after the U.N. adopted its long-developing Arms Trade Treaty.
“As putrid and anti-American as the entire U.N. concept/agenda is,??? he added, “we mean it and I believe we have … driven home an adequate fear factor into the lives of the soulless U.N. gangsters. It is they who should be fearful??? …
Nugent believes that President Obama is working with the U.N. on the rules, making the president a “clear and present threat to freedom and the American way of life??? …
“We the people have stepped up to the plate in a most powerful way to the Obama/U.N. gun grab by purchasing more guns and ammo than any society in the history of the world,??? he said.
And there you have it. WhiteManistan stands prepared to shoot UN tyrants and gangsters right between the eyes should they come for the guns. Much like preppers stand ready to shoot the rest of us between the eyes when we come boiling out of the cities WTSHTF (When the Shit Hits the Fan).
A couple weeks ago the Congressional Research Service quietly published “Public Mass Shootings in the United States: Selected Policy Implications.”
The CRS report made this observation about gun massacres in the United States:
“Of the public mass shooting incidents identified by CRS for which information on the race of the perpetrator(s) was available, over half of the shooters were reportedly white.
“Almost all the shooters were male …???
The report adds they also tend to kill themselves during the assaults.
Experiencing the unavoidable news on public mass shootings has shown that, in America, this is indeed a white male thing.
Yet the country has yet to begin a big public discussion on why that is.
What in American white masculinity or psychology predisposes to gun massacres, if anything? Is there a linkage between the tradition of white male ownership of guns as a rite of adulthood predisposing white guys to gun massacres? Does it predispose toward mental illness or is there some other feature peculiar to how white US males acquire guns which has something to do with it? How does the white male component in American gun massacres compare with that of other civilized nations?
Questions, questions, all deserving of answers.
But be careful who and where you ask them. Some people may just shoot you right between the eyes as an enemy of freedom.
“Public Mass Shootings in the United States: Selected Policy Implications” has been put on-line by Steve Aftergood at the Secrecy blog here.
Like all good citizens of WhiteManistan, Ted Nugent just can’t figure out why African-Americans don’t love him (or them). And hate Barack Obama, the Hitler Commie. That is because it is obvious that it’s the President who is the sworn enemy of black America. Kind of like when Glenn Beck was always trying to get people to buy he was just like MLK.
The destruction of blacks has been engineered by President Obama’s party for at least the last 50 years. The New Deal was a raw deal, and The Great Society experiment didn’t turn out to be so great after all. It has been an unmitigated disaster for black Americans …
The truth is that the Democratic Party has been the engineer of the destruction of black Americans, and everyone knows it except the very people who need to know it the most – black Americans.
The turbo-destruction will continue for black Americans until they realize that dirty Democrat politicians are their true enemy …
I don’t celebrate Black History Month. I celebrate it every day, as my very black-inspired musical dreams …
There is no doubt that my 2013 tour will be the best of my life. With world-class virtuosos paying tribute to our black heroes nightly, it is only fitting that this year’s tour is aptly titled, “Ted Nugent Black Power 2013.??? Say it loud: my music is black and I’m proud!
Practically speaking, Nugent has been singing this embarrassing tune for years, mostly in an unsuccessful effort to combat the image that he’s a bigot.
It’s truly the stuff of genius, blandishments so ridiculous as to reduce one to tetany. And in the face of continuing derision, like all good people of WhiteManistan, Ted just turns up the volume on the stupid.
Yep, he’s certainly very black.
John Sinclair, manager of the MC5, and one of the original “stinky hippies,??? according to Nugent, describing the scene around the Grande Ballroom in Detroit in the Sixties:
JOHN SINCLAIR: That’s what it was like back then … everybody smoked, nobody snitched, everyone was cool — except for Ted Nugent. He was not cool, always an asshole, everybody hated him (laughs).
“Celebrate freedom and common sense by purchasing more guns and ammo, and give away NRA memberships to everyone you know … The beauty of President Obama’s violence task force headed up by VP Biden … is that Americans are now better armed than any society in the history of mankind. That’s what freedom addicts do. When our government even hints that they are going to ban something, Americans rush out and cause the sales of that product to skyrocket. AR-15s and other mis-identified ‘assault weapons’ are virtually sold out.”
He’s all heart. If smallpox could be a person, it would choose to be Ted.
Meanwhile, President Obama is leading this country to financial ruin, borrowing over a trillion dollars a year for phony “stimulus??? spending and other payoffs for his political cronies. Nobody knows if or when the fiscal collapse will come, but if the country is broke, there likely won’t be enough money to pay for police protection. And the American people know it.
The media try to make rank-and-file Americans feel guilty about buying a gun. The enemies of freedom demonize gun buyers and portray us as social lepers.
We are the largest civil rights organization in the world, and we have been part of the fabric of America ever since 1871.
We will not surrender. We will not appease. We will buy more guns than ever.
The President took a few moments in last night’s State of the Union to address infrastructure and cybersecurity. It was the usual shoeshine, assertions that something terrible will happen if steps aren’t taken, allegations of a looming menace that means nothing when stacked up against major economic issues.
The mythology of cyberattacks turning off the power, poisoning the water, and — most laughably — attacking the financial system (ie, Wall Street) have been piled so deeply over such a long time, a substantial number of people now believe them.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday signed the long-awaited executive order designed to enhance the security posture of the nation’s critical cyber infrastructure. Obama made the announcement during the State of the Union address.
“America must also face the rapidly growing threat from cyber-attacks,” Obama stated. “We know hackers steal people’s identities and infiltrate private email. We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, and our air traffic control systems. We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy.”
The new executive order, however, does not have the force of law. And some analysts see it simply as the latest attempt by the administration to increase pressure on Congress to pass meaningful cybersecurity legislation.
“The administration has been building up to issuing an executive order on this for months,” said George Smith, a senior fellow at Globalsecurity.org. “And, no, it won’t have any impact on infrastructure cybersecurity. None of the Obama administration’s executive orders, in anything for that matter, have any teeth or any practical consequence. They’re essentially blandishments and suggestions that are ignored or meant for window dressing. It’s an attempt to shape the debate and push legislation.”
And that’s exactly how Obama left the issue in his State of the Union speech.
Pabulum.
The country would be better served by the President helping to reduce the power of the minority culture of gun nuts with real steps in new law and control. At the end, that was easily the most powerful part of his speech.
[The] cable news networks have, so far, maintained a near-blockade on Nugent clips, and according to Bill Press, wasn’t featured in any of the crowd shots from the speech. The only exceptions, so far, have been CNN and MSNBC, who each aired Nugent snippets during the 5 am hour Wednesday morning, one of which, naturally, contained the word “fecal.???
It wasn’t as if Nugent didn’t make himself available, either. Politico (Oh no! They couldn’t resist either!!) reported that Nugent held court with reporters, telling them that Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI), who was paralyzed in a shooting accident, had “Shit for brains??? because he was critical of Nugent’s attendance at the address. He also denied threatening President Obama.
NBC News’ Luke Russert later asked Nugent if he thought that was “an appropriate thing to say about a sitting member of Congress who’s in a wheelchair????
You can’t satirize America. Not even with fictitious grindhouse movie posters. (Which rule and you should recommend to others.)
What to do with the profane man who was visited by the US Secret Service last year under suspicion of making threats against the president or inspiring others to do so, who has called the president a coyote in the living room that needs taking care of, who has called the president a communist in need of fixing?
Invite him to the State of the Union address as your guest in good standing with the neo-fascist party.
From the wire:
On Tuesday, Nugent will attend Obama’s State of the Union address as a guest of Republican Texas Rep. Steve Stockman …
“I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama,??? Stockman said in a statement. “After the address I’m sure Ted will have plenty to say.???
Having plenty to say is what got The Nuge in hot water in April 2012 at a National Rifle Association convention. His controversial comments even rated the outspoken gun-rights advocate a visit from the Secret Service.
They have no common decency, amply demonstrating it time after time.
Ted Nugent appears to have failed out of the opinion pages of the Washington Times, replacing it with an identical column at the conspiracy and birther news site, WorldNetDaily. It is difficult to imagine being too insane and right-wing for the Washington Times. After all, writing the same thing over and over about the president being a Chicago-style gangster, a fan of Mao Tse-Tung and someone using the “Saul Alinsky playbook” to dismantle America never gets old with the fan base. Or perhaps Times editors noticed Ted was giving banner interviews, identical to his his columns for them, for a competitor, WND.
So this week at WND, Nugent delivers another interview with the same old stuff, including his new vehement assertion: The president is a commie who appoints commies!
Who uses the word ‘commie’ now? Anyone, besides white people over sixty? Do young people even know what ‘commies’ were or where they lived?
If there’s anything that paints one as an old fool, it’s probably ranting about ‘commies’ in 2013.
“Then when you scrutinize the self-evident truth of God-given individual rights, the Founding Fathers wrote it down, not because they got together and had a good idea. They knew that the king denied these self-evident truths and these God-given individual rights.
“So we wrote down the self-evident, truth-based, God-given rights that we the people in this new land, free of kings, free of emperors, free of tyrants, free of slave drivers, that we will exercise our God-given, instinctual, self-evident, truth-based right to self-defense from any evil force that threatens our gift of life from God and especially power-abusing monsters in government.???
Nugent said he also doesn’t buy President Obama’s claim that he’s proposing “common-sense??? gun restrictions or Obama’s claim that he is a great respecter of the Second Amendment.
“I say sure you are, Mr. President, and I’m a gay pirate,??? mused Nugent. “One just has to study Barack Obama’s voting record.
“The commander in chief will go to the Vietnam Memorial Wall and will put on his community organizer, ACORN, Van Jones, gangland, Chicago, gangster-politic scam best and pretend to show respect for 58,000 heroic American military warriors who gave the ultimate sacrifice fighting communism. And then President Obama will go back and appoint members of the Communist Party as his czars.
“He will continue to associate [with] communists, publicly admitted communists after visiting the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
Ted Nugent did not fight in the Vietnam War. ACORN no longer exists, although many Tea Party types when polled after the November election evinced belief it had been the cause of the president’s victory. And many of the Founding Fathers, whose work Nugent loves to cite, were slave-owners.
Which a lot of people who’ve had high school history and remember it know.
In a side note, Ted Nugent is emblematic of why the Republican Party was rejected by voters in November. It became a party that thinks exactly like him, if — on occasion, and only on occasion — more politely.
Having not appeared in the leading newspaper of crazy, the Washington Times, for almost a month, Ted Nugent may have failed down to the right wing news and conspiracy website, WND.
Today, World Net Daily announced a new Nugent column, the Ted Offensive. And only Ted Nugent could be stupid enough to attempt to cop the name of the North Vietnam offensive launched on January 30, 1968, one that informed the United States it would lose in Vietnam.
Ted Nugent, coincidentally, did not serve in Vietnam. But he was not a a simple draft dodger as many assume. His selective service classification indicates he was given a deferment for community college and a later one for an unspecified problem that made him unfit for duty.
But back to the Ted Offensive.
Unsurprisingly, it’s lousy, more of the unconsciously horrendous publicity the right is so good at — screeds that convince everyone not in the tribe that the GOP, the National Rifle Association, Ted Nugent — are insane.
What Sen. Feinstein, VP Biden or President Obama want is more control over Americans. These socialists and Marxists don’t care about mass murder. What they are want is more control, their boots on our necks …
Gun banners will go after handguns next. Liberal propaganda ministers will beat the drum that handguns are more evil than so-called assault weapons, that handguns are only good for killing other human beings.
Banning guns is the means to an end. The end is control, not freedom. They know that they can do whatever they so choose to a disarmed America.
It’s a plot.
The Obama administration and the liberals will end freedom in America, using the methods of a harmless dead man, Saul Alinsky, an obscure dead man who wrote a book Glenn Beck once told his audience would be the blueprint for destroying freedom and old WhiteManistan Ted Nugent’s America of pink tiger-striped AR-15s.
Despite now notorious repeat appearances on CNN (they keep having him on because he’s a cartoon of a ranting bad man) and network television, the last twelve months have not been kind to Nugent.
Hear Ted’s false teeth whistling. Really — don’t take my word for it. He also calls the president a “subhuman mongrel.” Around 5:30, he again implies there will be a revolt against the US government by the people who bought “the most ammunition in history” over the Xmas holiday. As has always been part of this routine, Nugent dances right up the edge of making direct death threats.
Near the end: “[The President] hires, appoints and associates with communists … He is an evil dangerous man who hates America and hates freedom and we need to fix this as soon as possible.”
You see how this works and why the US Secret Service gave Ted a visit. As last April, this latest Nugent blurt comes at another big gun show.
Nugent’s career as a pundit from the extreme right is built on the use of threats, delivered obviously but with always enough implication or weaselly constructions to keep him out of the hands of the law. It is what his like-minded audience demands and what he delivers.
“It not time to start shooting anybody,” he now says.
What’s the difference between Ted Nugent and James Yeager? It’s not a trick question. Yeager was a lot less seasoned in his delivery than Nugent. And not the same magnitude of reactionary celebrity from the right.
Ted Nugent has a long history of dancing right up to the line of threatening members of the current administration and calling for armed revolution. Last year, he earned himself a visit from the US Secret Service for remarks made at the annual NRA convention. The Secret Service investigates those people who either make statements calling for the assassination of the president or, who by their exhortations, may be inspiring others to do so. No charges were filed.
We need to turn up the heat and tell our elected officials we want Eric Holder arrested. We want him brought to trial for Fast and Furious. We want Hillary Clinton arrested for defying, denying American citizens the proper and adequate security as the anniversary of 9/11 approaches. We want these people held accountable. We want to know where Barack Obama got the authority to spend like a drunken maniac and blowtorch all these tax dollars following the Cloward-Piven and Saul Alinsky playbook to destroy the last, best quality of life in the world and it’s called the United States of America. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Eric Holder are the enemy of the state. (One week ago, Nugent used his weekly column in the Washington Times to ask Biden to invite him to contribute to the talks on gun control. How’s that for reptilian hypocrisy?)
Yesterday, Nugent was on yet another radio show implying that law enforcement, or retired policemen and ex-soldiers — now in the group called Oath Keepers, would revolt if the US government made moves on gun control.
With Ted Nugent, the insurrectionist cant is part of his business. As a guitar player he tours casinos, dive bars and county fairs during the summer, playing his old tunes from the Seventies arena rock circuit.
While Nugent’s persona might seem like the essence of rebellion, it isn’t. Ted Nugent is anything but a rebel. On the contrary, he is a panderer.
Much of Nugent’s time, outside his summer touring, is spent cultivating his profile as a pundit and celebrity for the extreme right, appearing at Tea Party rallies/dinners or on radio shows, walking the thin line between free speech and denial of the the legitimacy of the current elected government with advocacy for revolt. It’s red meat to the people who pay him for his appearances and columns.
For Nugent it’s a cynical personal style. For if he stopped and adopted a more intelligent, nuanced delivery of less inflamed material, he would lose his audience. And that would mean a good deal of income, too.
