Ted Talk-American Indians "unclean vermin"

"Ted Nugent lashed out after a native American tribe in Idaho cancelled his show over his history of racist remarks. "I take it as a badge of honor that such unclean vermin are upset by me and my positive energy,"

Even Indian casinos are canceling this assholes appearances. Good for them, but makes me wonder why they even booked him in the first place.

Ted shows his true racist feelings by alienating the last minority group that even considered him for an appearance and lets more of his inner bigot out for all to see.

"By all indicators, I don't think they (Native American Indians) actually qualify as people, but there has always been a lunatic fringe of hateful, rotten, dishonest people that hate happy, successful people," Nugent said"


YOU HAVE TO READ his own words in the article of how he avoided the Viet-nam draft.

were among the last to ever surrender themselves to the US Army, especially the Nez Perce. I am proud to be from Idaho today and see this bigot turned away and shown the door. Ted Nugent will be lucky to be playing at a carnival or a Holiday Inn after his atrocious remarks.

I can say that the Nuge's views on tribes are old news to many of them, and this is no surprise to them at all here. In fact, they are surprised at the tribe that actually invited him to perform, surprised that they didn't know the truth about him. He'd better hope he never shows up here. Actually, I kinda hope he does someday, it'd be great to see him get his ass kicked.
