Media Matters: NRA's Nugent Reacts To Criticism: "I'm Like A Black Jew In Nuremberg 1938 And The Brownshirts Can't Stand Me"

National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent compared himself to a "black Jew" in Nazi Germany while discussing widespread criticism he has faced after making a series of inflammatory comments on race.

Since the July 13 acquittal of George Zimmerman, Nugent has used his media platform to stereotype African Americans as violent and make disparaging comments about deceased Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. As a result, he has faced calls for his removal from the NRA's board of directors, criticism in cable and print media, and a boycott of an upcoming concert in New Haven, Connecticut.

Responding to his critics during an August 1 interview with Mark Reardon on NewsRadio 1120 KMOX, Nugent said he was "like a black Jew in Nuremberg 1938 and the Brownshirts can't stand me. So I'll just keep derailing their trains, shall we say."

During his appearance Nugent also addressed allegations of racism, claiming that he is in the "top one-percent of anti-racists." As evidence of this, Nugent later claimed that he was "the only artist, black or white, who has ever showed genuine reverence for those masters, those black American masters that created the greatest music in the world. No black artist has ever done that":

2. fuck you nugent. you are one worthless piece of shit.

[Rex]

3. What crazy shit is Mc Nugget going off about now?

[Hoyt]

4. Typical of gun cultists.

[OmahaBlueDog]

7. Ted Nugent is the face of the NRA.

De Facto, if not De Jure.

[Paladin]

5. I hope the NRA keeps this sub-human front and center, FOREVER.

With enemies like Nugent, gun control advocates need far fewer friends. Keep up the good work, Ted.

[Comrade Grumpy]

6. He's more like the guy who would shoot the black Jew.

[OmahaBlueDog]

8. Oh nay nay -- he states he's in the top one percent of anti-racists

If you watched more FAUX News, you'd obviously understand that.

[Heather MC]

9. There's only one black Jew on the whole world currently, Whoopie Goldberg can't wait to hear her thoughts on this

[kestrel91316]

30. A whole lot of Ethiopian Jews would beg to differ with you, IIRC.

[Eleanors38]

38. Would be interesting considering her NRA membership.

[shenmue]

10. What an idiot

Does he even believe the stuff that comes out of his mouth?

[OmahaBlueDog]

12. He believes it, and a whole lot of gun owners listen, nod their head, and say "yup!" to themselves

He's more typical of conservatives, generally, than most of the corporate media wants to admit.

[ZombieHorde]

11. That is so dumb. So, so dumb. nt

[OmahaBlueDog]

13. A treasury of dumb Republican/Consevative statements can be found here:

[ZombieHorde]

17. Wow. It's funny and sad at the same time. nt

[tblue]

14. Shut up. nt

[gordianot]

15. Nugent is the living definition of egocentric narcissist.

Many years ago I read that he compared himself to Jimmi Hendrix. In his dreams.

[OmahaBlueDog]

25. Nugent is the quintessential Tea Party conservative

He fits well with the typical Sarah Palin/Ted Cruz supporter.

[TheLion]

37. High corelation

"Egocentric narcissist" and "Tea Party conservative" are pretty much overlapping definitions.

[gordianot]

39. Excellent observation only question which comes first?

[tanyev]

16. Only if said black Jew had defecated on himself, not bathed for a couple weeks,

and acted like a raving lunatic to get out of military service.

[hobbit709]

18. Ted, you can't even spell Nuremberg.

[roamer65]

19. No, you're more like an insidious racist from the Deep South.

Useless scumbag.

[Lint Head]

20. No Ted. You're just a shit stain on humanity.

[Zoeisright]

21. Isn't he supposed to be dead or in jail by now?

What the fuck is taking so long?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

22. But, he sounds like a white gun-nut who belongs in a strait jacket.

[treestar]

23. that last paragraph is delusional narcissism

of the highest order.

[Initech]

24. With Ted Nugent, shit comes out of both ends.

What a racist piece of shit.

[DinahMoeHum]

26. Wow, how pathetic can he get?

[OmahaBlueDog]

28. He can be pretty pathetic.

[Avalux]

27. He can say whatever he wants. I just wish he didn't get attention for it. n/t

[OmahaBlueDog]

31. My problem is that he gets the attention, but is considered an outlier. He's not.

He's not "Crazy Uncle Ted." He represents a pretty typical segment of pro-gun conservative. People need to wake up to the fact that the GOP is not reasonable-sounding people like Mike Huckabee or Chris Christie; the GOP is Karl Rove, Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent, Rand Paul, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Michelle Bachmann, Steve King, Jan Brewer, and Mark Sanford.

[Logical]

29. "National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent", and some idiots here still.....

support the NRA.

That should be cause for banning them immediately.

[Vietnameravet]

32. Guy shit his pants to avoid the draft and stayed that way for over a

week so he would flunk the draft physical...hate this big talking bastard!

[Electric Monk]

33. I love how gun nuts are so often the victims (if only in their own minds) not the threat. nt

[Ilsa]

34. No, Ted, you're a dried turd on the ass of humanity. nt

[pinboy3niner]

35. So offensive it all but eclipses his derailing trains metaphor

Nice timing on that, Ted, coming so soon after a rash of train derailments around the world--including one in Lac-Megantic, Quebec that killed at least 48 people, and one in Santiago de Compostela, Spain that killed 79. Way to go!

[MineralMan]

36. Ted Nugent is a mound of putrefying

offal, a gut pile left behind by an honest hunter.

[darkangel218]

40. God, this guy is sickening.

My stomach turns just by seeing his name

[OmahaBlueDog]

41. So are Limbaugh, Colter, and Ingraham

They say sickening, poisonous things time and time again. They get away with it because they actually represent a substantial portion of the Republican base.

[darkangel218]

43. You forgot Glen Back. another disgusting one.

[lpbk2713]

42. More like a turd in the punch bowl.

And he smells that way too.

[Warren DeMontague]

44. Pfffffffft.

More like "I'm like a big joke in Nebraska"

[jessie04]

45. Dumbshit.

He doesn't have a clue what he's saying.
