LANSING -- "I'm Rosa Parks with a 12-gauge, and I'm hunting doves next September."

Honestly, this guy thinks he's a farking diety! By the way, the bill got through the Michigan House. Let's see what Granholm does with it.

1. What a racist scumbag

And remember he's actually ON THE BOARD of the NRA....

11. Granted the juxtaposition is comical

I do however fail to see the racism any more than Dean's remarks.

12. Nugent has made racist comments

in the past, and he has had appearances canceled for it.

Rosa Parks with a 12-gauge. There seems to be no depth of depravity to which he is unwilling to sink. :eyes:

4. I think it's LBN, because of what it implies.

People listen to this idoit, and his statement got radio play all over the state. If we talk about Rush, we have to talk about Ted.
