NRA Scrubs Nugent Video From Website, YouTube

On the day Ted Nugent is set to meet with the Secret Service about some incendiary remarks he made about President Obama at last weekend’s NRA national convention in St. Louis, the NRA deleted the archived footage of the comments from the internet.

There’s plenty of convention content available on the group’s web page and YouTube channel, but you won’t find any footage of the Sunday afternoon discussion with Nugent — an NRA board member — that led Mitt Romney to distance himself from Nugent and prompted the Secret Service to schedule a meeting with him.

The White House did not immediately respond for a comment on whether it or the Secret Service played a role in the deletion of the videos. Nor did the NRA immediately respond to a request for comment.

A recording of Nugent at the convention from a video that was once on the NRA homepage was captured by Right Wing Watch:

1. No they didn't.

Taking the video down does not throw Ted Rapist under the bus. Denouncing and taking away his representation status from him would have been.

They're covering their own asses not giving him the bus treatment.

3. Yeah, now that I think about it, you're right...

...it was a CYA move. SOUNDED great to say they threw him under the bus, but that's not what happened.
