Holy shit, Ted Nugent goes there...

I've seen where this kind of hateful rhetoric goes and it never ends well. Fuck these fucking assholes.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

1. Chickenshit coward.

[Renew Deal]

33. Nugent said he would be "dead or in jail" if Obama is reelected.

Somehow neither of those things happened because he is a coward that isn't willing to do anything himself.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

34. Yep. Just brave enough to incite others to the crime. P.O.S.

[Walleye]

2. So they are fighting evil with mob violence?

[DBoon]

3. No, they are fighting justice and equality with bloodshed

[Initech]

9. This is like threatening genocide.

I'm convinced that Trump's MAGA minions would kill us in large numbers if given the opportunity. Their hate is that strong.

[Cha]

19. Exactly.. TN & Ilk are the Fucking Evil

💙💛

[VarryOn]

4. I hate it when singers, athletes, and actors feel the need to be political...

Just sing, act or play ball and keep your damn opinions to yourself! I love Ted's music but hate when he says shit like this.

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. Celebrities have as much right express political opinions as the rest of us

They don’t surrender their first amendment rights when they become famous.

See the documentary “Shut Up and Sing”.

They don’t, however, have the right to incite violence.

[VarryOn]

11. Certainly, they have the right...

I just wish they chose not to express it constantly. I don't want politics mixed with all my entertainment, especially when I don't agree with it.

I'm all for free speech, even with speech I find quite offensive.

[Carlitos Brigante]

62. So you're all for free speech. Just wish "certain people" didn't use theirs. Got it. So

what's the cut off, profession-wise when people should "shut up and (insert job here)? Would a regional theater actor be OK to express political opinions? Then once they've achieved fame and success," shut up and act"? How about college sports? Students constantly demonstrate and become involved in political causes. What's the cut off there? Once they play for a professional league. Is it "shut up and play" time then? What if they're a bench warmer for a season? But start getting more famous the following.

Could you provide us a chart?

[VarryOn]

64. I'm a country music fan and go to a few concerts per year...

I disagree politically with many of the artists I've seen in concert.

You are conflating my preference for artists not being political DURING a performance with their free speech rights any other time. Of course, during a performance, they have just as much free speech rights as any other time. I just prefer they don't get political, even if I agree with them. Early in Obama's first term, we went to see Martina McBride. Trace Adkins was a co-headliner. Half his speaking between songs was anti-Obama. Yes, shut up and sing.

We went to see Lily Tomlin a few years back. She seems to be to to my left a bit, but we largely agree as far as I can tell. I've always thought she was funny and looked forward to her show at our local arts center. It was during George Bush's presidency. She constantly harped on his admin, even working jabs into some of her classics. Very little of the show was funny. She ruined it being political.

Just a couple examples of what I'm talking about.

[Carlitos Brigante]

65. If anyone is "conflating" anything is because you seem to be

all over the place. This was a political rally not DURING a performance. Which you just added as a way to move the goal posts. Unless I missed something in your two replies above. There was no caveats DURING performances. If you wanna say that now, great. But your original statements were pretty broad.

This whole "shut up and whatever" has been nothing but another right wing grievance brought to us by the only party who's elevated 2 shitty entertainers to the WH. Apparently with zero sense of irony about it.

[VarryOn]

66. DURING performances is an important distinction...

And I'm sorry for not being clear. Thanks for pointing it out so I could clarify.

[Carlitos Brigante]

67. It's a convenient one, I'd say. But YW. I'm a helper. nt

[ZZenith]

6. You seriously love his music or are you being ironic?

[Initech]

7. I wouldn't listen to his music if you paid me!

[Mr.Bill]

13. I saw him in the late 70s.

You're not missing much. Mediocre guitar player wearing a loincloth and running around the stage like a lunatic. There's 15 year-old kids at every high school who can play better.

[GoodRaisin]

31. It's just noise.

You wouldn’t be missing anything.

[icymist]

12. I would rather listen to a flock of geese crapping liquid diahhrea while

scratching a blackboard with their claws than hear that asshat try and play guitar while vomiting.

[CrackityJones75]

23. WTF? Seriously this is an opinion on this site?

[AdamGG]

36. The right always says this when it's Sean Penn or Robert DeNiro talking...

but whenever they get any half-assed, cut rate celebrity that takes their side, they give them endless prime time exposure. They had Clint Eastwood talking to a chair as their keynote address (and he's 100 times saner than the psychopaths that back them now).

[USALiberal]

41. So you're saying Democratic supporters that are famous to keep their mouth shut?

[VarryOn]

45. I don't won't to hear politics when I'm trying to watch a ballgame...

The Academy Awards, a concert, etc....for me, those are escapes from daily life. Keep politics out. Look, I know here, I'm a contrarian on this. I'm good being in the minority.

[live love laugh]

53. Shut up and sing right? 🙄😏

[VarryOn]

60. Exactly. Thank you! Nt

[GoneOffShore]

58. I often find that with few exceptions, someone's politics informs their art.

[ramen]

50. Artist who is political checking in

Artists are people. People who are paying attention tend to have opinions and ideals and political hopes. Nugent's happens to be vile garbage, but I don't subscribe to the "stay in your lane" approach to managing artists' ideologies. I wish his were morally stronger but do think he should get to spout his nonsense to his people.

[turbinetree]

8. I wonder if this twit heard what happened in Buffalo....

incitement to commit violence I think is a crime.....that's what your dangerous leader did on Jan 6 .... that's all your ilk talk about wanting to hurting people.....

[Jack-o-Lantern]

10. This from a guy who crapped his pants and walked around in them for a week to avoid the draft.

[lastlib]

18. A MONTH, I heard.

A truly diseased brain. Pathetic.

[LonePirate]

14. Those words are just vague enough to avoid being the basis of an incitement charge.

[Baked Potato]

15. He is fighting the evil demons in his own skull. Nt

[vercetti2021]

16. Please try it

You'll see how fast your skulls will be stamped out.

[lastlib]

17. Do we expect decency from Shittypants?

not in this life.

[keithbvadu2]

20. Poopy-pants, pedophile Ted talks tough but was too cowardly to serve in our country's military.

[roamer65]

46. +1000

[jalan48]

21. Encouraging the next Payton Gendron to step forward.

[area51]

63. Yes, he is. n/t

[StarryNite]

22. And lets add animal abuse to this shitheads list of atrocities.

[GoCubsGo]

24. Pants-shitter Ted talks a big game.

Notice how he goads others into doing his violence for him. Fucking coward.

[IronLionZion]

25. Good thing this isn't terrorism

just normal calling for violence and intimidation against civilians in pursuit of a political agenda.

[C Moon]

26. Wow. That's nuts!

[blueinredohio]

27. Start with Ted Nugent.

That will get rid of one evil.

[COL Mustard]

28. Ted is a whacked out whack job

Who never had the balls to wear his country's uniform. He has no standing and can idi na khuy if you know what I mean. If you don't, it's what the Ukrainians said to the Russian warship.

[DallasNE]

29. That's A Mere Translation

Of what was said repeatedly on Jan. 6th. To bust some heads in. Buffalo, here we come.

[Takket]

30. maybe we should go berserk on him?

or should we wait around to see how long it is until the stochastic terrorism catches up with us? I know of families of ten people in Buffalo that probably wish someone had done something about the people who radicalized the terrorist that killed their families.

[Rebl2]

32. Yes evil

Like YOU teddy nut job.

[LiberalFighter]

35. Maybe this is a time police need to be colorblind and treat them the same

they would if they were minorities?

[sakabatou]

37. So, how long until he's arrested for advocating violence?

[bringthePaine]

38. chill folks - just a fucking pathetic has-been desperate for any attention - deny the addict👍

[Initech]

47. And also at a Trump rally, where they think JFK Jr is alive and living on some alternate earth.

[Celerity]

57. What has he done that is legally death penalty-eligible?

arrested and given the death penalty

[The Wizard]

39. He should go back to being

a bachelor party custodian of the dildos.

[SpankMe]

42. This isn't rhetoric

It's a direct incitement to violence. As such, it should be prosecuted.

[lunatica]

43. That's chilling!

Chilling because it can happen at any time and start anywhere or everywhere. Right now I think their getting organized and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if there’s another attack on a Democratic Governor somewhere in our country.

[Martin68]

44. I saw Nugent play at the Tokyo Buddokan, and it was an amazing performance.

It will be difficult to listen to any of his recordings since he went off the deep end on the right wing side of the pool.

[2naSalit]

49. All mouth, no brains. ...nt

[Carlitos Brigante]

51. I thought you were gonna say he shit his pants again. nt

[Blue Owl]

52. That festering fuckstick can go flounder in his own filth

[Emile]

54. This the guy who shit in his pants to avoid the draft?

[Dukkha]

55. Really? You lost the right to use "communists" as a slander

with so many on the right openly supporting Putin's invasion of a sovereign nation.

[MissMillie]

56. Sad to say... I'm not surprised anymore

Seriously, there's just so many of them in the race to the bottom that I can't even keep track anymore.

"I can be the most hateful."
"i can be the most violent."
"I can lie the most."
"I will spread the most disinformation."



The real irony is that they all spend so much time playing the victim while behaving this way.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

59. If evil were "stamped out", Nugent and the MAGAt king would be among the first to go.

Be careful what you wish for, Teddy boy. The universe has not been kind to Nazis like you.

[Better Days Ahoy]

61. Ted is welcome to come to my neck of Springfield, MA ...

... where he will be greeted by a swarm of local kids with bats on street bikes. Will be happy to set up the meet-up and watch him run his ass back to his red state.
