Citing inflammatory language while expressing his displeasure with President Barack Obama, the military has uninvited rock star and conservative political activist Ted Nugent from performing at Fort Knox in Kentucky, according to the U.S. Army post’s Facebook page.

“After learning of opening act Ted Nugent’s recent public comments about the president of the United States, Fort Knox leadership decided to cancel his performance on the installation," it's Facebook posting says.

So far, the June 23 concert remains on the Fort Knox schedule, with REO Speedwagon and Styx listed as “co-headliners,” but army personnel said they will grant requests for refunds in light of their decision to nix the opening act.

1. Take his guns

3. Imagine if he had made the same statements about Dubya...

Does anyone think he'd still have his guns?

5. They'd still be in solitary.

7. remember "burning bush"?

The guy got three years in jail ...

the Dixie Chicks got banned/blacklisted/death threats, and they just had one member say she was embarrassed he was from TX ... Ted the Ped called Obama+ criminals, and (metaphorically) said they should chop an unspecified "their" heads off.

I would think a "burning bush" was more of a metaphor than "chop their heads off" ...

Of course, if he actually had to go to "battle", this member of William Wallace's "Braveheart" group would, in the "Braveheart" context, "pee his kilt" ... if not worse ... well, he already did ...

9. Well said. The double standard is disgusting...

but to be expected from the petulant victimhood of the Rethugs.

2. Sounds like a warning

to Rush Limbaugh.

[Zookeeper]

4. Good. How long before he or Limpballs start whining...

about being him oppressed or blacklisted.

6. The BFI has been whining about that since the early 1990's.

8. They should cancel Ted just for the way he avoided going to Vietnam.
