SO...Ted Nugent would ride on Harry Reid's boat to save his dying child, then he'd shoot Harry.

[Miles Archer]

WASHINGTON — While speaking at a recent National Rifle Association event, rocker and NRA board member Ted Nugent said facetiously that if he had to accept Sen. Harry Reid’s help, he would shoot him afterward. Nugent made the comment during a question-and-answer session at the pro-gun group’s annual meeting April 12 in Nashville, Tenn.

An audience member asked Nugent about the NRA’s relationship with the Nevada Democrat and Senate minority leader.

The conversation, audio of which was obtained by left-leaning media watchdog Media Matters, started when the audience member asked Nugent “how and why did the NRA ever endorse Harry Reid to serve as the front man of Osama Obama?”

Nugent went on: “If your child is dying and there is only one way to get to the doctor, would you get on Harry Reid’s boat to get there? ... I’d get on the boat, get there, and then I’d shoot him.”

1. What a sad state of affairs Ted Nugents child.

Especially if your mother is 14.

[Dont call me Shirley]

2. No wonder this country is so fucked up, with idiots like Ted and those who support him getting

too much air time brainwashing the masses. Here goes Ted again, advocating killing Democratic leaders.

[Bjorn Against]

3. This is not just about Nugent, this is about the entire NRA

The NRA elected this guy to their Board of Directors to represent them and he does represent them. This is not the first time he has suggested assassination of a prominent Democrat, in fact it is at least the fourth time that I am aware of yet the NRA keeps giving him a platform to advocate assassination.

The NRA would not keep handing this guy a microphone nor would they allow him to sit on their board of directors if he did not represent them.

At DU we need to make it clear that we do not support organizations that promote this shit. NRA supporters should not be allowed to post here just as supporters of other right-wing hate groups are not allowed to post here.

4. He'll say anything to get people to talk about him.

[tridim]

5. Ted is the scum of the Earth, and he is damn proud of it.

For some reason.

Seriously, what does he hope to accomplish by saying psychotic stuff like this over and over? Respect from other psychopaths?

That's not respect, Ted.

[Miles Archer]

8. His last song to make the U.S. charts was in 1986

He's basically an oldies act, and the only way to keep ticket sales up is to throw red meat to the lowest common denominator of the Republican base. Ted knows this, he's OK with it, and playing to the "Obama wants to take your guns" crowd is always a safe bet, as long as you're able to look in the mirror when you're finished. Not a problem for Ted.

6. He seems a most accurate representation of the organization as a whole.

He seems a most accurate representation of the demographic and its organization as a whole.

[Hoyt]

7. NRA Board Member Teddy Nugent is a big hit with right wing gun fanciers, NRA member or not.

[angrychair]

9. feels like we are not

Focusing on the right thing here. ShittyPants threatened, at an NRA event, that he would shoot a sitting member of Congress. While people do rant and take personal comments to far sometimes, this is becoming a pattern with him. How often does a person get to say shit like this and get away with it?

Don't hurt that he is part of the "angry, old, white and rich" class.

[11 Bravo]

10. Yet again, old Pants Crap Fever shouts, "LOOK AT ME! OVER HERE!"

"Aren't I just the most outrageous little self-shitter you ever did see?"

[BlueJazz]

16. "Pants Crap Fever" Damn! That's funny

[CatWoman]

20. lol

yes, that is pretty good

[Erose999]

11. And some people think the NRA is not a terrorist organization. FUCK THE NRA and every single member.

And every public official who has ever taken even a fraction of a penny from them, including Democrats.

[hifiguy]

12. I'd say that Nugent is an ambulatory turd

or a walking bag of plague pus, but in his case either would require an upgrade.

[herding cats]

13. Anything goes when you're pitching the NRA Visa CC?

Seriously, that's what MM says he was doing in this speech.

During his remarks, Nugent urged the crowd to open NRA Visa accounts, describing participation in the program as a way to "drive the enemy crazy" and in apparent reference to the Obama administration said if "you want to really kick them in the ass, get an NRA Visa card, where we have raised over $24 million dollars." He continued, "I just found out about them. But I got one. Do you got one?"

Are these people so blind they don't realize they're being fleeced? They're being told insane lies and encouraged to fear and to hate, all while the NRA, and the gun manufacturers by proxy, are making millions of dollars off their stupidity. How can they not see they're being played for fools?

[red dog 1]

17. "I just found out about them. But I got one. Do you got one?"

I love it!

IMO, Ted Nugent is the worst musician in rock & roll history.

[Vinca]

14. If ever there was a person who should accidently shoot themselves . . .

[Logical]

15. Where are the NRA lovers here that will defend him? The NRA is a joke to keep this guy. nt

[red dog 1]

18. K&R...Thanks for posting

I wish Nugent would go hunting with Dick Cheney sometime.

[Skittles]

19. paranoid coward gun humper talk

[Major Nikon]

21. But first he'd molest the child on the way over

Well I donґt care if youґre just thirteen
You look too good to be true
I just know that youґre probably clean
Thereґs one lil' thing I got do to you

Jailbait you look so good to me
Jailbait wonґt you set me free
Jailbait you look fine fine fine
I know Iґve got to have you in a matter of time

-- Ted Nugent
