The man nonetheless known for pooping his pants to get out of the draft is now painting those Native Americans who criticize him as unclean and revolting. Following a protest in Sturgis, South Dakota on Wednesday, Nugent announced on his Facebook page, "4 stinkyass unclean dipshit protestors that admitted they hate me AND ALL WHITE PEOPLE THAT STOLE THEIR LAND BULLSHIT!! See, it aint me they hate, they hate all Americans that produce & live the American Dream."
Four? More like forty, Mr. Nugent. On Wednesday, August 6, close to 40 people protested in front of the Full Throttle Bar, the largest concert venue in Sturgis, during the Sturgis Bike Rally.
People came from almost every reservation in South Dakota to attend the protest against Ted Nugent in Sturgis, South Dakota.
Protestors have followed Nugents Shut Up and Jam! tour into Lakota territory, and according to Tom Cheyenne, Dakota, president of the American Indian Movement Grassroots, AIM will always protest Ted Nugent's U.S. concerts.
"He has been saying things about Indian people, especially about our Lakota people, and I don't like it when I hear those racial remarks," Cheyenne said. "We got to do something, we have to keep our spirits high when somebody talks like we are nothing.
Nugent told Gannett Wisconsin Media that "I take it as a badge of honor that such unclean vermin are upset by me and my positive energy," and "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.
That quote came on the tail of a petition filed in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, requesting that Nugents show be canceled. He insisted the quote was not about Native Americans, but people who have tried to shut his shows down.

(16,296 posts)Seems like Shitty Pants has quite a few gigs at Indian locations be they on Indian land or casinos. Why is that? Aren't the Native Americans aware of his history and background. I just wonder about his appeal to the Native Americans that they book him. Even the article states he is going from that venue to another Indian appearance.

(36,988 posts)Its fairly accurate on what goes on with the casinos and who runs them on the reservation. Plus life on the reservation.
I think Ted will be out of work at that venue forever.

Maybe if we just pretend that he is dead or in jail, he will stop getting air time. Seems to work on a host of other issues of greater import than wangotangoman and his BS.
