CNN) - Conservative activist and rocker Ted Nugent apologized Friday for using the term "subhuman mongrel" to describe President Barack Obama.

"I do apologize–not necessarily to the President–but on behalf of much better men than myself," he said in an interview with conservative radio host Ben Ferguson, who's also a CNN political commentator.

Boy, you can really feel the sincerity here, can't you?????!!!!! (Sarcasm, of course!)

[sharp_stick]

1. I can't be the only

one who thinks that it would be loads of fun to just put the boots to the nuge and do it in front of a bunch of big game animals so it would be a little light entertainment for them.

[Leith]

2. That Was NOT Any Kind of Apology

He just doubled down.

[calimary]

7. Welcome to DU, Leith!

Glad you're here! And you're correct. That was no apology. If this weasel were any kind of real man, he would man up and apologize to the President. Instead, his shameless and predictable default is a bunch of antics with semantics. Unless you rethink it a little and realize he actually did apologize - or maybe that's how we should characterize it, just to get his goat. "You did apologize, chump-change. TO President Obama - who is MOST CERTAINLY a man much better than yourself.

[lumpy]

12. An apology wouldn't change a thing, obviously Nugent really believes what he has stated and

doesn't change the fact that he is a putrid creep.

[yuiyoshida]

21. Totally agree...

How is that even a heartfelt apology? Its not.

[ashling]

34. That was what I was going to say

welcome

[tavalon]

75. He does that

Wait 'til he shits in his pants. Then it gets really funny.

[Beartracks]

84. Yeah, it was like, "I'm 'sorry' to have to tell you, but he really is a subhuman mongrel.'"

No apology here.

=================

[heaven05]

3. fuck the coward

ted shithead nugent. And I won't apologize for this. He is such a lowlife POS.

[grahamhgreen]

4. That's not even close to an apology. Or it is an apology, but it's for embarrasing his buddies, not

for using the terminology. Terminology he could only have got from the Nazi's.

[leftynyc]

5. That's no apology

And anyone that calls it one is merely an apologist for a pedophile.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

6. "much better men than myself"

I assume that would be 99.9% of the men in the U.S.

[Arkansas Granny]

8. Yeah. He set that bar pretty low.

[Lochloosa]

37. 99.9999999999999999999999 You left out a few 9's

[Grassy Knoll]

9. What the fuck does this even mean?

"I do apologize–not necessarily to the President–but on behalf of much better men than myself,

[lunatica]

44. He sounds like he's apologizing for them, not to them

He can't even speak English correctly.

[maddiemom]

54. You nailed it, exactly! And better men than himself don't need him to appologize on their behalf.

BTW, I'm an English teacher and would never let him get away with that inane statement in my class.

[Skittles]

57. he's apologizing to his redmeat fuckhead base for being forced to apologize

Nugent is just plain scum - not an ounce of decency there

[awoke_in_2003]

58. Yep. nt

[herding cats]

10. He said he should have called Obama "violator of his Constitution, the liar that he is."

Yeah, nice non-apology. He just used the airtime and his recent surge of media attention to trash the POTUS some more. The fool has not one clue of what he speaks, but since he speaks hate-filled gibberish about the president the Republicans keep giving him the position of some sort of party icon. Their party is so FUBAR his brand of stupidity is acceptable.

http://www.suntimes.com/news/nation/25744206-418/nugent-apologizes-for-subhuman-mongrel-remark.html

[unblock]

11. that's not even as good as the standard non-apology. he's saying, "i'm NOT apologizing"

"i'm just getting up here and making a statement that uses the word 'apologize' because my p.r. person says i should, and just to avoid any confusion, i still say the president is still a subhuman mongrel."

what a scumbag!

[Dopers_Greed]

13. Joke's on Nugent

The American people elected Obama TWICE. And he's doing a far better job than the Varmint Hunter Romney would be.

[TrollBuster9090]

20. I forgot all about Romney's 'Varmint" comment. I'm guessing he was trying to learn how the PLEBS

talk by watching re-runs of The Beverly Hillbillies.

"Yes, I'm a man of the people. I hunt varmints with my scatter gun, and drink moonshine like the REST of you."

[BetterThanNoSN]

82. Not to mention....

hangin out by the cement pond

[Augiedog]

14. Who cares

Who cares what he thinks, says or does? He is a washed up guitar player who proudly claims to have lived in clothes he said were caked in his own feces to avoid the draft. What difference does anything a self proclaimed shitty coward says make. He should apologize for wasting oxygen that others could more profitably put to use. The Japanese form of contrition for self humiliation would be more appropriate at this point.

[TrollBuster9090]

16. I care what he says and thinks only so far as it can be duct-taped to the politicians he supports,

and who HE supports; and to the people who support the politicians that embrace his support.

I care about Ted Nugent because he's a walking WEDGE ISSUE for the political party that is currently doing the most damage to me.

[hamsterjill]

27. Absa Fucking Lootely!!!

You got that exactly right!!!

[TrollBuster9090]

56. Thanks! It's basically the only reason why I care what Limbaugh or Beck or any of the other

nutcase haters say, too. It's not because I think it's profound, or enlightening in any way. It's just because those people, along with Nugent, rally a base of people who support the GOP. And as long as the GOP refuses to RENOUNCE these guys, I'll just go on assuming they tacitly SUPPORT them.

[TrollBuster9090]

15. Translation: "I apologize for embarrassing the GOP, not for calling the President a subhuman mongrel

THAT part I still believe."

What a sack of shit this guy is.

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. An absolutely worthless apology

from an absolutely worthless pant load.

[Leontius]

18. Hey Ted you're a piece of shit.

I would like to apologize also, not to ted nugent the piece of shit, but to those who have to listen to him.

[tavalon]

76. Interesting that shit always enters the picture with Ted Nugent, eh?

[Frank Cannon]

78. I'm sorry you're a piece of shit, Ted.

There. I just apologized to Ted on your behalf.

[Gothmog]

19. Texas Democratic Party is calling on Abbott to apologize

I just received an e-mail from the Texas Democratic Party

“Once again, Abbott is giving Texas voters reason to doubt him.” -- Dallas Morning News Editorial

Dear -------

It's your turn, Greg Abbott.

Last night, Governor Rick Perry said, "I have a problem" with Ted Nugent calling the President a "subhuman mongrel."
Senator Rand Paul tweeted, “Ted Nugent's derogatory description of President Obama is offensive and has no place in politics. He should apologize.”

Ted Cruz said he didn’t agree with Ted Nugent’s sentiments, “You've never heard me say such a thing, nor would I."
And just moments ago, Ted Nugent finally apologized to the President for his disgusting remarks.

Greg Abbott, it's time to admit you made a mistake and apologize to the people of Texas.
Republicans are feeling the heat, and we can't back down now....

Thank you --
Will Hailer
Executive Director, Texas Democratic Party
P.S. It’s your voice -- your tweets, your posts, and your emails -- that put the pressure on Ted Nugent to apologize. Show Greg Abbott that it’s his turn. ....

I agree that Greg needs to apologize

[walkingman]

31. Abbott is no better

than those he choses to associate with - that includes Perry, Dewhurst, and all the other disgusting political heroes we have in Texas. Once again I am embarrassed to admit I am from Texas.

[daleanime]

81. Don't be.....

tons of good folks from Texas.

[silvershadow]

22. I'm sure it was sincere and heartfelt. Not. nt

[wryter2000]

23. "much better men than myself,"

That's just about everybody. All the men, anyway.

[Kelvin Mace]

24. So, he didn't apologize.

Why lie in the headline?

Wait, i forgot, it is CNN.

[jsr]

25. Waste of air from a waste of air.

[Theyletmeeatcake2]

26. Apology not accepted Mr. Poopy Pants !!!

[DRoseDARs]

28. "I apologize. Not to the nigger, but the kikes." -Ted Nugent

eom

[Sunlei]

68. It is those Republicans who had Nugent speak for them who should apologize

[jeremyfive]

29. Screw the Pedo-Nutjob

That crap he kept to dodge the draft must have eaten its way up through his brain.

Absolutely no sane person would listen to the guy. Explains Sarah Pain's full support.

[louslobbs]

30. That must be one of the new Republican apologies that they're letting nuge test out as a trial

balloon........you don't apologize to the actual person or persons you offend, you apologize on behalf of much better men than yourself LOL.....sounds good to me.......good luck with that one Republicans lol.
Lou

[lunatica]

45. When you apologize on behalf of someone that means you're apologing for them, not to them

English is obviously his second language.

[louslobbs]

50. Definitely. n/t

Lou

[Smarmie Doofus]

32. Uh oh. Hope that doesn't mean that I have to apologize for what I said about Nugent yesterday.

Believe me... "subhuman mongrel" *pales* by comparison.

[Zambero]

38. Ted Nugent insults my dog

with his bigoted misuse of the term mongrel. My dog happens to be one fine mongrel, and Nugent is not worthy to share his food dish.

[Smarmie Doofus]

40. Everyone knows that mongrels make the healthiest ( and smartest) pets .

Something about "inbreeding".

Stands to reason that applies across the species and esp to our own.

[Zambero]

33. What an intolerable creep

I've heard quite a lot of non-apologies in my day, but this particular dog whistle tops them all.

[LeftishBrit]

35. That's SCARY

I don't use the term 'Nazi' lightly, but that really does sound Nazi-like. How can he get away with saying it in 2014?

Yes, I know a lot of the right-wingers really hate Obama because he's black; but usually they try to make it slightly less obvious.

[LeftOfWest]

36. He should have been looking in a hand mirror

when he said that.

Despicable waste of carbon and oxygen.

[TeamPooka]

39. Better headline - One Hit Wonder Gets More Attention Than He Deserves. nt

[SDjack]

41. Hope a real journalist challenges Ted to reveal to us a genetic determination of his origins.

Criag Cobb (Leith, ND) accepted the challenge, and he was shocked to be informed that he is 14% black. Under the old "1-drop law", Cobb would be considered black. I suspect that Nugent is also "black". Come on Nugent -- prove your "whiteness".

[SwankyXomb]

66. I don't think that's actual black.

Just a dried-on crust.

[Le Taz Hot]

42. Ah, yes.

The non-apology apology. Yeah, I can feel the lerve.

[rustbeltvoice]

43. "invincible ignorance"

In theology there is the term "invincible ignorance". Now, for sane rational people the frustration of dealing with such individuals, or being constantly reminded of their continuing presence is annoying.

The press is guilty of being lazy, and fond of obnoxious dolts (particularly of one end of the political spectrum). Worthwhile reporting takes effort. Management and the establishment generally favor that same end of the political spectrum.

But it does seem that the carnival freak show of contemptible Republican jerks is never closed.

[AAO]

46. –but on behalf of much better men than myself,

Then he truly is talking about the President! Because Barack Obama is SO MUCH BETTER A PERSON than old shitty-dresser.

[lunatica]

47. He'll always be welcomed on FoxNews.

[QuestForSense]

48. 'Much better men than myself' means Greg Abbot and the Texas GOP.

Nugent's gigantic ego would never allow him to realize Abbot and the rest of those good ol' boys used him as a mouthpiece to speak directly to their base. They're off the hook, but he's the same asshole he was before he opened his mouth. Useful!

[Javaman]

49. the non-apology apology.

repuke are like that.

they have the inability to express both empathy and sincerity.

very similar to sociopaths.

[SummerSnow]

51. irrelevant asshole

[Tx4obama]

52. Ted Nugent Hasn’t Apologized for Calling Jewish Figures ‘Subhuman’ and Nazis

Ted Nugent Hasn’t Apologized for Calling Jewish Figures ‘Subhuman’ and Nazis

In a more-than-technical sense, Ted Nugent really hasn’t apologized for calling President Obama a “subhuman mongrel,” but the rock dinosaur and Call of Doody champion hasn’t even feinted at an apology for slurs he’s made against at least two prominent Jewish public figures.

In January, days before his comments about the President, Nugent called movie mogul Harvey Weinstein a “subhuman punk,” and compared him to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels — the same comparison he deployed on Wolf Blitzer this week.

[NastyRiffraff]

53. That doesn't even make sense

When you apologize, you do so to the person you directly offended or insulted. He called Obama a "subhuman mongrel," not "much better men" than himself.

As an apology, on a scale of 1-10, this rates a 0.

[COLGATE4]

55. "I didn't mean to say subhuman mongrel"

"I meant to say "subhuman mongrel n----r". There. All better.

[Agony]

59. Jackass.

[GoCubsGo]

60. You call that an apology?

He might as well have said, "I am sorry if I have offended anyone."

Actually, that's more of an apology that the shit he just spewed.

[SmittynMo]

61. I don't get why he even makes the news.

This guy is a useless piece of shit. Why would anyone give him the time of day. And you call this an apology? Omg. If anyone is a subhuman mongrel, it's him. He makes me sick.

[LiberalElite]

62. WTF DOES THAT MEAN???

[yellowcanine]

63. Well crap that is no apology.

[lindysalsagal]

64. Going out on a limb, here, and assuming the potus actually would rather they say this trash out in t

the open for a change. It's certainly nothing new, except in its honesty. It makes them look worse than it will ever make potus look.

[hamsterjill]

70. Perhaps this is a...

"Please proceed, Mr. Nugent" kind of moment, right? LOL

[Ken Burch]

65. If he didn't apologize to the president, HE DIDN'T FUCKING APOLOGIZE!!!

That was just Pedo Ted saying "I'm sorry I got caught".

And he probably messed his pants again just to try to get out of apologizing.

[alp227]

67. Ted, please don't apologize anymore. Keep talking your shit.

Of course I think you're a flaming bigot, in addition to a talentless musician and coward. But please, you are doing the left a BIG service by opening your mouth.

[malthaussen]

69. "Apologizes," CNN?

Ah, for the days when journalists would actually do journalism.

[merrily]

71. Better men than Nugent is a huge group.

Better people than Nugent is an even larger group.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

72. preach it, pedo-chickenshithawk

We have welcoming arms for the R's who take that as a last straw and open their eyes.

[VA_Jill]

73. I want

Nuge to take a DNA test and publish the results. Then we'll see who the mongrel really is! We already know he's subhuman….a sexual predator and ephebephile, among other things. Or, as we would say in east Tennessee, he's sorry, all right.

[tavalon]

74. Just keep talking Nugent, keep talking

Get that dumbass some coffee, lots of coffee. Let's keep him talking. He's great for our side.

[blueknight]

77. i would love

to fight that mother fucker. just me and his pussy ass, bare knuckles. i gaurantee he is just a big mouth pussy

[Initech]

79. Well at least we'll get to see the Subhuman Mongrels play night #1 of Coachella.

[SunSeeker]

80. Why does anyone give this pants-shitting pedophile a microphone? nt

[bayareaboy]

83. The jerk has not apolgized for writing and performing ...

cat scratch fever.

[sjdnb]

85. I gotta believe

that when has been's, wanna be's, and bottom feeders like Nugent et al spew crap like this, it is just for attention. I wish there was a global ignore button.

[savannah43]

86. Not acceptable, Teddy, you moronic freak.

He probably thinks that's a compliment.
He's never been known as a deep thinker.
