Ted Nugent on Twitter: If Wolf Blitzer is a journalist, I’m a ‘gay pirate from Cuba’

By Tom Boggioni
Wednesday, February 19, 2014 13:14 EST

Responding to criticism from CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about his use of Nazi rhetoric when talking about President Barack Obama, rocker Ted Nugent lashed back at Blitzer today stating that, if Wolf Blitzer is a journalist, he is a ‘gay pirate from Cuba.’

According to Oliver Willis at Media Matters, Nugent is denying that he has a history of making bigoted and misogynistic comments, stating: “All the negative stuff is dishonest, all the really wonderful stuff is accurate.”

Nugent has become the focus of Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott’s campaign for governor in the past few days due to his colorful history and statements.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Wolf, Blitzer wondered if Nugent was aware that the term ‘subhuman mongrel’ can be traced to the writings of Nazi propagandist Julius Streicher who wrote: ‘The Jew is a mongrel.

Actually Blitzer is not my idea of a journalist, he seems like a suck up a lot, but a gay pirate from Cuba sounds kind of cool, and totally wasted on Nugent.

Being a gay pirate from Cuba never really appealed to me as my first career option, but you've got a point there.

Also, I don't watch Blitzer, but he is right about the mongrel persecution stuff. --Tace

if that makes any sense.
Blitzer sorta reminds me, at times, of the way I feel about Larry King - Larry seemed to confuse talking to people of accomplishment with being a person of accomplishment.

Always a-crossing your wake, tacking in on your booty, they said. Took many a Spanish rose they did. Cared nowt for rubies; no, nor pearls nor your pieces of eight. Only the booty. Those were brave days! Oh I could tell you true stories, Jim lad, full of swagger and silk - but then I'd be headed to jail now. Aaargh, the pale and sorry times we be livin' in.

what's important here is that Greg Abbott, the man who wants to be Governor of Texas applauds Ted Nugent and thinks they are kindred spirits. They're making the story about how vile Ted Nugent is, while that's true, we all knew that. The story is that a vile candidate, Greg Abbott, used his best decision making ability to decide Ted Nugent was the image he wanted to project on the campaign trail. Don't let this conversation get away from the fact that Greg Abbott supports this nonsense.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Wolf Did this to take attention away from the story of Greg Abbott using TN to campaign with him.

Ok an old shriveled LIAR, that still shits his pants. He promised he'd be dead or in jail and he is neither. LIAR!

I don't like LIARS I think throw out all his cds.... Oh wait I never liked his music so I never bought his records. No really his like one kind of hit sucked and I generally changed radio stations when they played his song. Never even thought about learning any of his songs ... wasn't worth my time. Thought he was a dumb $%&* then and nothing has changed to make me think other wise. Except now not only his he a dumb %^&* but a LIAR. Of course he has always been a LIAR. It's just irrefutable now.
