Urgent fictitious memo from Ted Nugent’s public relations firm:
Dear Ted, if you are to continue making the case that you are not a racist in the court of public opinion, it is unwise to call your opponents “unclean vermin.” Unclean vermin is not a common derogatory term in the United States. In fact, no one uses it, ever. However, there was one place where the words unclean and vermin were regularly used — in the propaganda of Nazi Germany. Word to the wise, Ted. If you are trying to convince people you are not a bigot and fascist, using unclean vermin to describe those who are making the case that you are only reinforces the impression.
— Cringely, Lost Cause Promotions
Nugent on Tuesday, on people protesting his show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin:
“I take it as a badge of honor that such unclean vermin are upset by me and my positive energy … By all indicators, I don’t think they actually qualify as people, but there has always been a lunatic fringe of hateful, rotten, dishonest people that hate happy, successful people.”
Today, Nugent lashes out at the refugee children invaders that are the center of the immigration crisis on the country’s southern border:
And now I think all sane people can agree that Gov. Rick Perry of the great Republic of Texas has shown rare and genuine leadership by making the long overdue move to actually secure the border by deploying the Texas’ National Guard and bring a halt to the dangerous flow of illegal invaders …
I don’t know about you, but America should be keeping an eye on Rick Perry and the handling of this Obama-engineered criminal invasion trainwreck on the border. We are either a safe, protected sovereign nation, or we’re not. Real leaders living up to their constitutional oaths will make sure that we are.
After the CdA Tribe of Idaho canceled Nugent’s gig at its casino on Monday, Nugent replied the he honored Native Americans in this way:
[He] cited the lyrics to his song “Great White Buffalo??? to point out that he isn’t racist towards Native Americans. “But then came the white man/ With his thick and empty head,??? it goes. “He couldn’t see past billfold/ He wanted all the buffalo dead.???
A Native American news publication didn’t quite see it that way:
The racist remarks most often cited are jabs at President Obama which include calling him a “subhuman mongrel” and a “chimpanzee.” But Nugent’s racially-insensitive behavior extends to Native Americans as well. He frequently wears a feather headdress on stage and appropriates a sacred Native symbol in his song “Great White Buffalo,” both of which are highly disrespectful to Native culture.
In an April 2013 article for the right-wing commentary site WND.com (formerly WorldNetDaily), Nugent took aim at the movement to change the Washington Redskins team name using language that many Natives will find objectionable. The article was called “A Tomahawk Chop to Political Correctness” and included these turns of phrase:
“Every so often some numbskull beats the politically correct war drum protesting the names of sports teams.”
“If there are Native Americans whose feathers are ruffled over the names of sports teams, I submit that they are sorely focused on all the wrong things.”
“Call me crazy horse, but maybe we should start by addressing issues that truly matter most and would actually save Indian’s lives.”
Nugent concluded the essay by casting himself as a savior of Natives:
“Because of my clean and sober, hands-on conservation bowhunting lifestyle and song ‘The Great White Buffalo,’ Native American tribes have invited me to teach their young people how to reconnect with the land and teach them how to bow hunt the mighty American bison. It was in their midst that I learned firsthand about the terrible problems facing my Indian BloodBrothers.”
Yesterday’s decision by the Coeur d’Alene suggests Nugent may need to double-check his standing in Indian country.
Boy howdy!
And in this video, recently uploaded to YouTube, Nugent talks about how his new song, “Do-Rags and a .45,” is meant to be a help to African Americans living in cities.
“I get called a racist for trying to save black peoples’ lives,” he insists.
This bit starts at around 5:30.

WhiteManistan’s most public bigot, Ted Nugent, lost another gig today. This brings the total of cancellations this year to four, all as a result of Nugent’s infamous reputation as a purveyor of hate speech.
From the AP:
WORLEY, Idaho (AP) — A Native American tribe has canceled an Aug. 4 concert by Ted Nugent at its casino.
The Coeur d’Alene Tribe on Monday said that the cancellation of the concert at the casino in the northwest Idaho city of Worley was because of the rocker’s “racist and hate-filled remarks.”
The tribe says it booked Nugent without realizing he espoused “racist attitudes and views.” The tribe did not detail which of Nugent’s specific views it opposes.
The last sentence is hilarious. There’s so much hate speech from Nugent documented on the web it’s now an intelligence-insulting task to show it to people who don’t want to see it, anyway. Anyone who says they haven’t heard the worst of it is in the position of covering their backside.
Nugent has made his a big part of his business being a public hate-monger for WhiteManistan and the Tea Party. He should be made to own it completely.
He has the right to free speech. But in the world of entertainment, one can exert pressure on businesses, or concert venues, that book him. Bars, casinos, small theaters in the heartland and county fairs are not, primarily, venues for the spouting of all view points.
They’re entertainment businesses, period. And they must exist within the standards of the community they’re local to. And if people choose to tell them, again and again, that Ted Nugent does not fit even generously elastic community standards in a civil society and the business should either distance itself from him or risk paying a price for flouting such things for the sake of money, then that is a legitimate tactic.
It’s an unpleasant job to go over the long list of Nugent’s public statements and video captures. That doesn’t excuse anyone from corporate America in the music business from due diligence on it.
Want to buy the nationally famous hate-monger for a day? Live with the ill will, bad karma and potential bad result.

It’s all the fault of the poors, especially those people in the cities. Ted Nugent hates them all, especially what they did to Detroit. “Have you been to Detroit lately?” he asks in his latest column at the advocating-rebellion-right-wing news site, WND. “No wonder the movie Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is such a big hit.”
Further:
We shake our heads in abject confusion and disbelief at the vacant claims by the left and liberal Democrats that capitalism is bad and that America is greedy when it is universally known that at least half of the country is subsidized by the producers. There simply is no more generous, giving, loving society on earth than hardworking Americans …
As the Democrats continue to get away with their crimes, the squawking poor just keep on getting poorer, and as is always the case, they have no one to blame but themselves. Stupid is as stupid does. Brainwashing only works if you give up your brain and your soul to the brainwashers.
Another mind-boggling conundrum is the fact that America’s so-called poor live a life far better than do real poor people around the world and have luxuries they can only dream of.
With their cell phones, automobiles, microwave ovens, air-conditioning, new clothes, manicures and pedicures, bling-bling, clean water, more food than they can eat, pretty much redistributed everything handed to them, they still whine how America should be more like those other countries.
As a matter of fact, if you live in a poor neighborhood in urban America, you know that people don’t have a lot of things someone as repellent as Ted Nugent thinks they do. As for “clean water,” Nugent seems to have the missed the disaster of Detroit shutting off water service. However, this is hardly surprising, considering the source.
A great many below the poverty line, or very close to it, in Los Angeles County do not have cars. They rely on public transportation, bicycles, sometimes taxis, and walking.
A lot have air-conditioning as renters but don’t use it when it’s most needed in the southern California summer because it really runs the electricity bill higher. Instead, they are outside or on porches, perhaps using a fan, trying to stay cool in the evening after the sun has set.
As for “bling-bling”? I don’t see it, ever. But, Ted, that’s him being what he is, one of WhiteManistan’s most popular public racists.
“Listen to my SHUTUP&JAM! CD,” Nugent concludes “It’s the soundtrack to take back America.”
Not exactly but I suppose sales could use a push.
Here’s a Nugent at a recent show in Anaheim. The first minute and a half is given over to a standard profane rant about Nancy Pelosi and California gun law.
From an Orange County Weekly review, largely favorable, of the show:
Perhaps it was the fact that this show was in Orange County, but, for as much of a rocking show as Nugent puts on, there were very few youths present at The Grove. The audience essentially consisted of the same metalheads, rock ‘n rollers, and swivel-hipped girls that had likely gone to his concerts 30 years ago …
Nugent was pretty vocal about the African American roots of his music, and played “You Shook Me,” yet I did not see a single black person in the theater…He is likely his own biggest fan …
In Maine, an experienced hunter strongly condemns criticizes Nugent for getting involved in trying to defeat an anti-bear-baiting referendum:
Disturbingly … Ted Nugent has spoken out in opposition to a fair and sporting bear hunt. Nugent is from Michigan and is known for sticking his nose — and his loud and offensive mouth — in other states’ business. He has supported all sorts of unethical practices, including hunting within fenced enclosures and remote Internet hunting …
Most of us Mainers are familiar with the old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,??? but it is broken. Our bear management sadly has gone astray. And Ted Nugent is the poster-child for how not to fix it. Nugent illegally baited deer in California and illegally killed a bear in Alaska …
I’ve hunted bear in Maine for the last 25 years, taking as many bears in that time. I know the woods well and am a skilled enough tracker to find a bear when I want rather than relying on lazy and cruel tactics.
The red, white and blue acoustic Ted Nugent acoustic guitar with his autograph, put on eBay to raise money to help defeat the anti-bear-baiting referendum still has not sold.
At a starting bid of $7,000, it’s a plainly lousy deal.

Eighteen years is hard punishment for someone who appeared and appears to not really be all right in the head. Shannon Guess Richardson, like all of the Americans who try this, wasn’t capable of purifying ricin from castor seeds.
They grind the seeds to powder and, in this case, famously mailed part of the slightly oily mess containing some poor characterized amount of ricin to the President and others as part of a cracked frame job. Astonishingly, two ricin cases were frame jobs, the other being the case of guitarist, Budweiser Beer Battle of the Bands winner and karate teacher J. Everett Dutschke of Tupelo, Mississippi, in the very odd summer of last year.
From the wire:
A federal judge gave Shannon Guess Richardson, 36, the maximum sentence under her plea deal on a federal charge of possessing and producing a biological toxin. Richardson was also ordered to pay restitution. She had pleaded guilty to the charge in December.
“I never intended for anybody to be hurt,” she told the court, adding later, “I’m not a bad person; I don’t have it in me to hurt anyone.”
Richardson, who had minor acting roles in film and television, said she thought security measures would prevent anyone from opening the letters addressed to Obama and the now-former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
She acknowledged in a signed plea agreement that she ordered castor beans online and learned how to process them into a substance used to make ricin.

Ted Nugent regularly whines about being openly called racist in columns and in his public statements. When he does this he often blames a dead person, Saul Alinsky, and then asserts he loved Rosa Parks or MLK.
Nugent’s bizarre confabulations have no effect on anyone with even a shred of brain power.
However, he fits perfectly with the attitudes of the white right and Tea Party, which in exhibitions of massive groupthink, tends to always assert that when called out for being bigoted, it is evidence of precisely the reverse — everyone else being racist.
In interview this week, promoting his new record ShutUp&Jam, Nugent can’t practice what he preaches. Although he says he wants to just shut up and play music, inevitably he always comes back to the itches he just hasn’t been able to scratch:
Interviewer: But I also think you must know that that statement [mentioning Martin Luther King, Jr.] coming from you, is going to piss some people off.
Nugent: Well only in the world where the liberal democrat driven media has repeated the lie and the nasty evil accusation of me being a racist. Yeah, in that world, sure. Here we are in 2014. That’s why the question I pose to you is absolutely undeniable. Here’s the society we live in, where people want to kill me because I eat venison. Really? And you’re in charge of my diet when? None of this surprises me. When you have such a rotten man, whose agenda has always be against America, against exceptionalism, against being the best you can be, against entrepreneurial risk and productivity, like Barack Obama.
When questioned in even the gentlest way Nugent becomes evasive and changes the subject to something that has nothing to do with the original query. In this case, trolls hating his Facebook page and allegedly wanting to kill him because he consumes deer meat.
The “kill me because I eat venison” is another one of Nugent’s odd mental tics, one he’s used frequently in recent interviews.
The bigot who is astonished that anyone would call him one, also includes this laff riot, from the same interview, in which the great venison plot is again mentioned:
Well, it means something. I get on Facebook and see people who want to kill me and my family because we eat venison. Now that’s sad, and it’s demonic, but in the world that we live in, I laugh so hard I can hardly see straight. That’s funnier than Richard Pryor’s afro catching on fire.

From the pen of Ted Nugent:
We have all seen the roving reporter man-on-the-street interviews. I’m sure we all have some friends, acquaintances, even family members and others who have uttered the painful statement. I don’t know about anyone else, but when I first heard people say that they voted for Barack Obama because he was black, or that it was “time??? for a black president, my skin crawled.
I am well aware that that statement of mine will be isolated and made out to be “racist??? by the dishonest media and the maniacally boneheaded Saul Alinsky gang over at the Huff-n-Puff Post and beyond, but the real horror is that the worst case of racism I have ever witnessed in my lifetime was the indecent choice en mass by millions of Americans who defiled the sacrifices and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and spat on his grave when they actually admitted that they voted for this president based on the color of his skin instead of the content of his character.
“When haters have no substance whatsoever for debate, they always plummet to the accusations of racism …” he adds.
As usual, part of it is the fault of a dead guy, Saul Alinsky.
Another paragraph sticks out by virtue of it being one inredibly long run-on sentence fragment encapsulating all the rantings and conspiracy theories of the extreme right.
See if you can recite it without coming up for air:
From the cloak of secrecy of so much of his past, his mad scramble to hide an entire segment of his youth, to his association with communist leaders like Frank Marshall Davis and Van Jones and Valerie Jarrett, his Chicago community organizer scams, his association with known terrorists like Bill Ayers, long-term relationships with racists like Rev. Wright and the Black Panthers, his very un-presidential “police acting stupidly??? remarks, the Rose Garden make-up beer party, the apology tours, his clear disdain for capitalism and the entrepreneurial spirit, his blatant Marxist “redistribution??? beliefs, his Fast and Furious gunrunning crimes, his outright racism and meddling in the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman fiasco, his defiance of SCOTUS rulings, his dangerous rookie moves in Iraq and Afghanistan, Syria, Israel, the ever escalating insane fiasco on our southern border, the insanity of declaring the Fort Hood terrorist attack a case of workplace violence, the insanity of Obamacare, his failed pledge to upgrade the VA, his IRS scandals and numerous acts of abuse of power, his nonstop campaigning on the taxpayers’ dime, his indecent tax-wasting Air Force One jaunts, the childish arrogance of using his “pen and phone??? and stating “I am the president, I can do anything I want to do,??? his propensity to play golf while the world burns, and pretty much everything this man does in total defiance of the U.S. Constitution’s direction for the greatest quality of life ever in the world.
Boy howdy!

Three people who most have never heard of, two of which are dead, are responsible for everything gone wrong.
From the irrefutably logical Ted Nugent, who has mentioned them twice in two 4th of July columns, one for WND and one at Newsmax:
The blatant despicable fraud of Obamacare scams, entitlement scams, welfare scams, foodstamp scams, fuel subsidy scams, child-support scams, unemployment benefit scams, so called disability scams and the entire Saul Alinsky and Cloward-Piven dismantling of the greatest quality of life ever known to mankind is a tragedy of untold proportions, and the liberal democrat scammasters are treading on us like jackboots gone mad.
Click the link to plumb the depths of the conspiracy. It affords hours of reading.
In Maine, there is a referendum to ban the using of bait to bag bears during season. Nugent has come out against it because he baits bears. And a couple of years ago he was convicted of illegally bagging and transporting a black bear in Alaska while on an expedition to baiting stations.
A person wrote to the Bangor Daily News:
[Ted Nugent] is the poster child for cruel and unsporting — and just plain lazy — methods of killing our black bears.
Sportsmen don’t use dogs, jelly doughnuts or leg-hold traps to hunt bears; they use fair chase still-hunting or stalk-and-shoot methods. Mainers don’t use these cruel methods on any other game species in Maine. Why treat our iconic bears with so much less respect than our deer or moose?
I didn’t know jelly donuts were used to attract bears, thinking it was only something from old Yogi cartoons. But, yes, there is an entire product line of jelly donut bear-bait.
Nugent has put an autographed acoustic guitar on eBay, selling for $7,000, to help raise money to defeat the anti-bear bait referendum in Maine.
So far, after a few weeks, no takers. That’s a lot of money for a red, white and blue novelty acoustic guitar marred by a Ted Nugent signature. Probably not quite worth even $400 after it got the treatment.
“Freedom is not free,” writes Nugent near the end of his July 4th Newsmax piece.
No, certainly not. Freedom is not free is cut-and-paste, a favorite of people who have little to say but a great desire to say it, everywhere in the US over the weekend. Click the link before it expires.
