Just when you think Ted Nugent couldn't get more repugnant, he says this

[Horse with no Name]

"The pimps...the whores, the welfare brats, the crybabies, and the bloodsuckers would be completely cut off from society’s teat."
Ted Nugent the politically conservative rock-and-roll star, on what would happen if he’s elected governor of Michigan

What a bastard! Hopefully the good people of Michigan wouldn't vote for this slimy piece of shit.

1. "welfare brats"

Yes I think all children whose parents are on welfare should be allowed to starve to death in the streets.

Along with all rightwingnut assholes.

It's what Jesus would do.

Stupid MFers.

[Jack from Charlotte]

21. Here is how this patriot got out of the draft.......

ON MILITARY SERVICE

He claims that 30 days before his draft board physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days, he ingested nothing but Vienna sausages and Pepsi; and a week before his physical, he stopped using bathrooms altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with his own excrement, stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says. "... but if I would have gone over there, I'd have been killed, or I'd have killed, or I'd killed all the hippies in the foxholes...I would have killed everybody." - Detroit Free Press Magazine , July 15, 1990

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. He didn't do that to avoid the draft

He did it for fun.

Staying out of the military was just a fringe benefit.

:rofl:

[LynnTheDem]

32. Gee, another rightwingnut who's a COWARD.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya.

[LisaM]

2. Did he say this about the same time as the Ford layoffs were announced?

If so, his political career will, thankfully, end before it begins.

[Fenris]

3. Welfare Brats

Yes, children on welfare are typically spoiled, Ted.

[Orrex]

4. "Pimps, whores, welfare brats, crybabies, and bloodsuckers?"

He's clearly talking about Republican-owning big corporations, who are long overdue to be cut off from any and all teats, if you ask me. So what's the problem?

[CrispyQ]

19. My thoughts exactly, Orrex!

What is this blindness Americans have toward corporate welfare while maintaining a mean-spiritedness toward social welfare? Corporate welfare is about 4 times social welfare, but of course, we never hear about that!

[Orrex]

25. You're waaaay off!

Hi CrispyQGirl :hi:

That mythical woman with the ten babies, cashing in her WIC and foodstamps to buy drugs--she's the problem.

Halliburton, likely receiving in one year far more than all private welfare recipients in the same period, is a martyred victim in all of this.

:sarcasm:

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. What a wingnut!

[mmonk]

6. So when is he going to get the republican cronies

off the dole?

[ret5hd]

7. if the motor city madman actually walked around in motor city...

i think his name might change to

motor city dead man
or
motor city just-been-raped man
or
motor city don't-hurt-me-please man

[Proud2BAmurkin]

8. he's a dirty smelly puke.

.

[OzarkDem]

9. He shouldn't talk about his family that way n/t

[KitchenWitch]

10. ...

:eyes:

What about the corporations? Are they not a bigger drain on government resources than the social programs?

[sasha031]

11. Is he running for Governor!

:nuke: oh the creeps in this country, he is insane

[blm]

12. Mustn't forget all those thousands of newly unemployed Ford workers, Ted.

And tell us again how you shat yourself and let it cake for days to avoid having to go to Vietnam - please - just once more - for the children.

[meganmonkey]

13. No, instead they will vote for Dick(head) DeVos of AMWAY fame

He is the frontrunner on the Repub side. I doubt Nugent will make it out of the primary. I am not a huge fan of Granholm (our current Dem gov.) but she is leaps and bounds ahead of DeVos or any other Michigan repub.

I am so worried that with our employment problems she is going to get blamed for everything. Our state congress is Republican controlled and are doing everything they can to block her initiatives.

[tridim]

14. His little hate filled rant is what most Republicans believe

but would never say in public, therefore I'm glad he said it.

Keep talking Ted, and align yourself with the Republican party at every opportunity.

[1620rock]

15. Don't worry, most of us in Michigan...

...concider him to be a stinking steaming pile of monkey shit. :puke:

[Horse with no Name]

36. That's good to know

:thumbsup:

[gratuitous]

16. Wasn't one of his illegitimate children on welfare?

I seem to recall that Mr. Personal Responsibility Nugent tried to avoid his paternal obligations to one of his offspring, who ended up having to be taken care of by John and Jane Taxpayer.

Let me do a little searching . . .

Yep, found it. First he denied paternity, and tried to stiff the woman on child support:

Then he turned around and admitted the boy was his, and promptly countersued the woman for visitation rights to a child he'd never seen:

http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/12175637

Now THERE'S some conservative family values for ya.

[Lefty48197]

31. He tried to gain custody of the child he denied was even his

and refused to provide support for, until forced to by a judge. Some "family values" Republican party you have there Ted.

[apple_ridge]

17. I thought he moved to Crawford?

[TlalocW]

18. What about...

Deadbeat dads, Ted, like the ones who are taken to court to make payments for their illegitimate children... uh, like YOU were?

Any special provision in there for people who crapped their pants for a week to get out of Vietnam? How about a rider condemning slightly above average rockers who don't know when their 15 minutes of fame are over?

TlalocW

[RandiFan1290]

20. Will Tim Russert cover this

with the next repug Senator on MTP?

[AzDar]

22. I wonder who paid for the Motor City Has-been's child, while he

neglected to pay child-support for the wee one? Maybe we should call him the Motor City Deadbeat??

[Sparkman]

23. Politicians should first be good Samaritans...or don't ask for my vote.

And Mr. Nugent demonstrates once again, compassionless arogance and class-conscious egotism.

[f-bush]

24. What an ignorant piece of shit!

[zbdent]

26. Says the guy who got a BJ from a 15-year old

Yup, fine, upstanding moral druggie that one is . . .

[Hobarticus]

33. Legally adopted a 17 year-old so he could have sex with her!

How scummycan one man get?

[Spirochete]

28. And the age of consent

would be lowered to 9, if Nugent was governor.

[hippiegranny]

29. He is a big fat, shit encrusted asshole,

and I've always hated his crappy "music." Loser.

[MrBenchley]

30. "I'm the NRA"

The National Rifle Association actually has this racist humhole on their Board of Directors, where he hardly stands out among the bigots, criminals and crazies....

[oasis]

34. If Detroit native Jerome Bettis campaigns for him after the Super Bowl,

Nugent may be able to neutralize the African American vote.

Bettis, a dyed-in-the-wool, Bush loving Rethug, has been given super star status by sports journalists.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

35. He sat behind me on a plane last week.

He smelled like a slaughterhouse.
