Hit the Prez with your cane, Ted
From a review of a show in Peoria:
Before the show, Nugent was backstage with a cane, on the mend after knee surgery.
It sucks getting old. And few suck more at it than Nugent.
From his weekly column at the WaTimes:
The president is a radically racial polarizing person. As I recall, he was supposed to be the great uniter when instead he has been the worst racial divider ever in the White House.
I don’t believe in government redistribution of citizen’s earnings. Like Mao, the president does, as he told Joe the Plumber. I believe in wealth creation through individual hard work and sacrifice, and that government should simply stay out of the way of job-creating, entrepreneurial free-market addicts. The president believes just the opposite. His class warfare tactics are anti-free market, anti-success and anti-American … Welfare advocates Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven taught you well, Mr. President.
Ted Nugent watches Glenn Beck. Like the rest of the Tea Party, it’s only reason he knows the name of an old lady, Frances Fox Piven, who Beck regularly demonized on Fox News for an article she wrote with her husband, now dead, when Nugent was about 18 and playing “Journey to the Center of the Mind” in the Amboy Dukes.
Beck regularly cast her as a person with a plan to collapse the economy of the United States and the perversity of that is well-described here at an article in the New York Times.
From the Times:
Her name has become a kind of shorthand for “enemy??? on Mr. Beck’s Fox News Channel program, which is watched by more than 2 million people, and on one of his Web sites, The Blaze. This week, Mr. Beck suggested on television that she was an enemy of the Constitution.
Never mind that Ms. Piven’s radical plan to help poor people was published 45 years ago, when Mr. Beck was a toddler …
Two years ago, from a Nugent column, on how he’s been menaced by the alleged plots of an old lady:
[I] previously have been the target of [the Democratic Party’s] vicious personal lying attacks and smear campaigns straight out of the playbook of Richard Andrew Cloward, Frances Fox Piven and Saul Alinsky.
So, once again, for those who think I’m too mean and unfair …
