Ted Nugent uses terms "mediocrity and slovenliness" about Obama White House

[madfloridian]

How did our country get to this place where so many are just totally tasteless, inane, and ignorant about things? I guess the dumbing down has been going on for years.

I guess when the right wing lost the sense of control they felt when everyone was giving Bush all the power he wanted...that they have just grasped at anything no matter how crass.

Florida Progressive Coalition blog: Nugent disses Obama


“Nugent who said, during an August 2007 concert, — as he was holding what appeared to be two assault rifles — “Obama, he’s a piece of sh**, and I told him to suck on my machine gun.”

“With a liberal in the White House, it’s sad to see the celebration of mediocrity and slovenliness and the cult of denial expand. That’s heartbreaking to see this once-great nation abandon the drive of excellence and the new squawking mantra of whining and excuse-making, which is why we have the president we have, and for him and his administration to defy the Constitution and Fedzilla exploding into the private sector and controlling corporations, it’s shocking.”

“I believe that we the people will eventually see the criminality of the Obama administration and eventually stop them one way or another, so I have eternal faith in my fellow man. I can’t believe this experiment in self-government is over. I can’t believe the documents our founding fathers clearly articulated and wrote are going to be abandoned for tyranny and slavery, and that’s really what Obama represents. He represents that ‘you people are so stupid and inept, I’ll have to cover you.’ I just don’t believe that’s true.”

There is more about Nugent at the Down With Tyranny blog from July 2007.

TED NUGENT: Still Bitter, Still Crazy,, Still Wrong


Nugent, entertaining reactionaries at Texas Gov. Rick Perry's Inaugural

The most right wing of the quasi-respectible, neo-fascist propaganda sheets, the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, has decided to celebrate Independence Day by inviting the washed up rocker to pen a story about dirty, stinky hippies. Before I go through Nugent's latest raging insanity with you, let me make a disclaimer. When I was part of senior management at Warner Bros-- a divisional president-- many of my colleagues were repulsed by Nugent's bombastic music, bad attitude and reactionary politics. By then he was part of a latter-day hair band called Damn Yankees. There was always a drumbeat of people who wanted to drop them. I wasn't among them. Well, I was among those who found his music, etc. beneath contempt, but my feeling was always that our duty to the company's shareholders, the owners, had to transcend our own sense of taste. Damn Yankees had two commercially successful albums, the 1990 eponymous debut and the less successful Don't Tread. They both sucked but there is always a market for music that sucks and Warner Bros was more famous for music that didn't suck.

Here is more from DWT about Nugent in 2007:

Nugent is a voice of ultra-reaction, something like Ann Coulter, with the craziest corner of modern day Republicanism. Like the Germans who blamed their predicament on everyone but themselves after World War I and constantly agitated for fascism, Nugent is incapable of learning anything from history.

.."Nugent's next masterpiece, Love Grenade is about to hit the stores, where it is widely expected to flop, like all of his recent output. But he does have fans, although they're not likely to be people you would invite into your home. He was well-received when he spoke at the NRA's 2005 convention in Houston when he advocated killing suspects pulled over by the police. "I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em." Gee, I even want Bush and Cheney to have fair trials first.

When did this kind of talk start being okay? How long has it taken us to get to the "birther" stage in this country...where the more you tell those people about Obama's birth certificate, the less they believe it. Chris Matthews held it up for a congressman tonight, right in his face, and the guy never acted like it was there.

[Skittles]

1. Nugent is a certified piece of shit

[GReedDiamond]

13. That is an insult to shit...but he definitely sucks shit as a "guitar player"...nt

[Skittles]

14. ooh

you're right; shit actually does serve a purpose :o

[NoSheep]

52. Lol.

[Owl]

37. Indeed he is.

[mitchum]

2. Damn, Obama has lost the child rapist vote!

[zbdent]

18. Ted Nugent's popularity in the Repuke party is prime evidence of

how they don't truly give a damn about morals, as long as they can win a political point ...

[EC]

56. They don't give a damn about good music either.. n/t

[MinM]

98. Can't wait to see him get Dixie Chick'd by Clear Channel®

I'll be holding my breath. :sarcasm:

[dysfunctional press]

44. especially the draft-dodging right-wing child rapist vote.

[MADem]

3. Those photos illustrate the two terms you noted in your subject line. Nt

[madfloridian]

4. Good point.

They do.

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. It's one of two things going on here: Oxygen deprivation over an extended

period of time or the careless use of forceps during birth.

[Forkboy]

6. That's his career in a nutshell.

[Ikonoklast]

7. Nugent is now, and always will be, a coward.

When his country asked him to serve, he took a cowards way out.

He's never manned up in his entire life.

He makes turds smell good.

[flvegan]

8. Oh, the IRONY! "slovenliness" from a man that SHIT HIS PANTS

on purpose, for an extended period of time so that he could chickenshit his way out of serving his country.

So long as they don't shoot back right, Ted, you tiny-dicked pile of shit?

[National Steel 27]

64. And defecates in public.

I was backstage at the old Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin when asshat Ted walked in and crapped on a mirror which had a whole lot of cocaine lined out on it.

I wish someone had shot the bastard on the spot.

[Iris]

71. proving once again that the ever-present 20% is certifiable

[MajorChode]

100. That definitely earned him the Irony Cross

For absurdity above and beyond the call of duty.

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. "mediocrity and slovenliness" ?? Sounds like Ted Nugent's "musical" career

The only songs of his I could ever stand were the ones he didn't sing. And when it came to that cheesefest called "Damn Yankees" even that wasn't enough to save the music. :puke:

[hobbit709]

84. That fits him to a T.

[Heidi]

10. Who can speak with greater authority on the subject of mediocrity than Ted Nugent? (nt)

[ladywnch]

79. EXACTLY! .....pot, meet kettle!!!!!!

:ROFL:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. Here's what I enjoy -

the rightwingnuts think Ted Nugent is a great big rock star.

That entertains me..................

[madfloridian]

12. I did not know that. That's pretty pathetic.

Yuck.

[SOS]

77. 32 years ago, he had a #30 single on the Billboard 200.

That was his peak.

:rofl:

[argyl]

15. Over his 40+year career,a lot of guys have come and gone whose guitars Ted wasn't fit to tune.

A real POS in every aspect.Chicken hawk shitting his pants to get out of the draft,child molester,all foul mouth and no brains. The very definition of mediocrity as far as his music goes.

People like Buddy Holly,Hendrix,Janis Joplin had more influence on music in their much too short careers than this clown could accomplish in 100 lifetimes. I knew he was shit way back in '67; he's gone downhill since then.

[Donnachaidh]

16. the definiton of cognitive dissonance has a photo of Nugent next to it.

The man is scum - always has been, always will be.

[mr blur]

17. Nugent is a moron. Here's his military service history:

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

I'm not myself a supporter of the military, but you'd think Nugent would be, as he seems to spend most of his time killing things. A sad, pathetic human being.

[Blue_Roses]

54. this man is not right...

he is in serious need of psychiatric care.

[Orsino]

19. Of course he wants people dead.

He's rich enough to have realized that living with people, especially the less fortunate, is work. And he's not about work.

[marmar]

20. Stupid people shouldn't try to use 4+-syllable words.....

.... It amplifies the stupid.

[Naturyl]

21. This from a man who once purposely shit his pants

To fail a military physical and avoid the draft.

Yeah, look it up. He told the story himself.

[comrade snarky]

45. It's true

Shit his pants for days before going to his draft physical.

Fucking hypocrite coward.

[sufrommich]

22. "eventually stop them(Obama administration) one way or another"

That sounds like a threat.

[madfloridian]

26. Yes, it did sound that way.

Actually the part about "sucking" on Nugent's machine gun sounds a lot like a threat as well.

[Vinca]

23. Words of wisdom from a washed up celebrity? I don't think so.

[GoesTo11]

24. Parts of what he said could have come straight off DU

No one here talks about killing, but how many think Obama is a criminal for the way he has misled and sold out Americans on healthcare, bailouts, Iraq and Guantanomo?

[madfloridian]

25. Oh, come on.

That's a pretty unfair picture of DU.

[City Lights]

27. Kook.

Seriously. He's a whacko.

[spanone]

28. the nuge wants to kill everyone....no surprise

[SidneyCarton]

29. Mediocre? Slovenly?

This from the guy who slept with Courtney Love (if she is to be believed) at 13?

Ted, Ted, Ted... you would have so much more credibility if you werent a amoral, pickled horndog.

[madfloridian]

35. He described himself well.

I find myself in awe that the right wing adores people like this.

[chaska]

30. When kids ask me how they can become a great guitarist,

I always recommend that they listen to Ted Nugent. Listen to Ted, and then do anything, dear God in Heaven, ANYTHING but that.

[undeterred]

31. Ted Nugent exemplifies slovenliness but he's far less than mediocre.

[B3Nut]

32. I know several guitar players who can smoke him like a side of ribs

and I never did hold him in high regard after since seeing him use synthesizers as targets on the range...seems he has a grudge against keyboard players. I guess he's afraid of anyone who might know even a slight amount of theory. ;)

[fascisthunter]

33. that idiot redneck is irrelevent

another right wing nut who thinks he's right.

[Jennicut]

34. Ted Nugent is mediocre. I know like one song by him.

Cat Scratch Fever. It sucks too.

[skypilot]

48. IS there another Ted Nugent song?

I'll be 45 years old in November and I swear to God that Cat Scratch Fever is the only Nugent song I'm familiar with.

[Jennicut]

61. LOL. Its the only one I know.

I am 33 so he was a bit before my time but all the bands I liked growing up cited him as an influence. I have no idea why.

[RBInMaine]

36. Nugent needs to take a few more drugs. What a nutjob.

[jimlup]

55. He claims that he didn't know that

the Amboy Dukes song "Journey to the Center of the Mind" for which he was lead guitar was about drugs. He's an idiot as well as a deceitful scumbag.

[Ahpook]

59. I heard him say that as well.

What a lying sack :)

I can say he has some fucked up guitar playing in Great White Buffalo, and that is about it for me with this pig.

Only thing that makes since is he is desperately trying to hang on to anyone that will still listen to him. He didn't speak all this crazy shit back in the 70's did he?

[Akoto]

38. Who? n/t

40. Speaking of mediocrity, two words: Damn Yankees. nt

[TommyPaine]

41. Time to put ol' Teddy out to pasture

Sorry to say, but the old boy needs to be put down. Ship him off to the wilds of Alaska, make him think he’s on another hunting excursion. Tell him wolves are overbreeding or something. Tie him to a tree, cover him in honey and salmon guts. Let the bears have their much-deserved revenge. Hopefully Teddy won’t give them indigestion.

[Romulox]

42. The Amboy Dukes were pretty cool.

But that's as far as I'll go with the Nuge.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN2VNFpiGWo

Being from Detroit will only take you so far (I'm looking at both of you, M&M and Kid Rock!!!!)

[comrade snarky]

46. Kid Rock... puh!

Dude's 38

[Echo In Light]

43. He's looking a bit Count Olaf-ish (a la Jim Carrey) in that top photo

Him and Gene Simmons. Ugh. When rockers go rightward = never a good thing.

[leftyRus]

47. What a Blowhard!

Ted Nugent is a first class chicken-hawk punk.  Here's a guy
who covered himself in his own shit to get out of being
inducted into the military back in the 70s.  Now he runs
around with his guns talkin' smack, like some macho red-neck
bad ass.  Spare me.  I wouldn't believe a thing this guy says.
 He probably kicks dogs, and scares little kids too.

[JerseygirlCT]

49. He ought to know from mediocre. He's spent a lifetime on it. nt

[Iggo]

50. Ted Nugent fucks children...

...then when he gets caught, he "adopts" them.

[Deep13]

51. Nugent said those things while drinking weasle piss.

Still warm, right from the tap! I think I'll go eat a live woodchuck!

[hiphopnation]

53. who gives a shit?

please tell me why i should give half a rat's ass about what ted nugent thinks?

[spanone]

57. sounds like two words i'd use to describe mr nugent...mediocre is actually a compliment

[Cheap_Trick]

58. If you stabbed that chicken hawk with one of his knives, you know what would come out?

Vinegar and water.

He's one giant douchebag.

[Seldona]

60. 'How did we get to this place?'

Sounds like an argument for 10 years ago, when it comes to idiots like this assclown.

Nugget is nothing new, nor are his less-famous counterparts. He just happens to have a platform to spew his insanity. Trust me when it comes to entertainers, his is one of only a few voices drowned out by overwhelming voices of reason.

Most right-wing brains aren't wired for subjective vocations. Perhaps the only area where this doesn't hold true in country music. Fuck country music.

[Canuckistanian]

62. All the wrong rock stars died of drug overdoses n/t

[Wetzelbill]

63. The guy is a deranged coward, what he did to avoid Vietnam is pathetic

It's not even within the bounds of respectibility. He was so scared of combat service he gave up personal hygiened for a month, ate nothing but junk food the last ten days before his physical and pissed and shit himself for the last week, then went in there like that. No guts at all. Yet he still acts like some kind of tough guy, what a joke. Nobody with any dignity would do something like that.

[RagAss]

65. Assclown without a Cause !

[timtom]

66. That just takes the cake!

And coming from an American icon of mediocrity.

[tabasco]

67. Ol' Pants Crapper is fun to ridicule!

But he's getting almost too pathetic.

[Stevenmarc]

68. Ted Nugent's knuckles drag so low he could play guitar from the next state

[bbernardini]

69. I posted this to Facebook, and was told "Attack the critic, ignore the criticism. Bravo!"

Mind you, I'm not surprised this person said this.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

70. Kinda sums up his music.

Potkettle Rock.

[MrScorpio]

72. I'm embarassed that the motherfucker's from Michigan

We normally have a better class of asshole from this state

[Redneck Socialist]

73. Who gives a shit what Nugent thinks?

He's a raging douchenozzle.

[eqfan592]

74. For the record...

...this man does not represent me as a gun owner of America, and I fully agree with the general sentiment of his extremely high (nearly dangerous) levels of douchebaggery.

[madrchsod]

75. what`s really sad is that his mother was a great lady.

she wrote about, helped, and mothered many young people in the chicago music scene. she was so loved in the community that after her death they erected a statue of her.

i`m pretty sure she`d be ashamed of what her son stands for.

He is the Dennis Miller of rock.




A high honor indeed.}(

[PatrynXX]

80. come on your talking about Ted here. o_O

ted's dumber than a turd. thats why he's so funny I'm sure he and Dave Mustane would have at it anyway

[PSzymeczek]

81. Ted Nugent has absolutely no room to talk

about anybody being slovenly or about "stinky" hippies, considering how he dodged the draft:

30 days before his draft board physical, he disavowed personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and with a week to go until the physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether. When the big day came, he had been living in excrement-caked and urine-stained pants.

[provis99]

82. Ted Nugent wants to kill child molesters?

Well then I hope Ted Nugent, professional pedophile, kills himself.

[liberalpragmatist]

83. Back in '04, he was floated as a Senate candidate to oppose Obama

That was back when Illinois Republicans' search for a replacement Senate candidate came to resemble an episode of Keystone Kops. Remember they went through the Republican primary losers - all declined. Then they ran through several random Republican state senators and state representatives. All said no. Then some rich businessmen. Then former governors. Then Mike Ditka (!). And finally Alan Keyes.

Well, at one point - probably post-Ditka but pre-Keyes, they floated Ted Nugent.

[moonbatmax]

97. Oh, that's GOTTA hurt!

:nopity: Poor Keyes... :rofl:

[muntrv]

85. Ted wants burglars dead? He should shoot G. Gordon Liddy. Ted wants

child molesters dead? He should shoot himself, Ted "I adopted a 17 year old Pele Massa so I could fuck her" Nugent.

[muntrv]

86. "A celebration of mediocrity and slovenliness" describes Theodore's concerts.

[TygrBright]

87. Wow. That pic with the raccoon tails... all I can think of is "It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!"

Seriously, he looks like he's auditioning for the Village People.

Dude is seriously Out There.

amazedly,

[_dynamicdems]

88. Who's Ted Nugent?

:shrug:

[jeremyfive]

89. Got Nugent? Call Orkin.

Could someone phone the exterminator to see if this pest can be eliminated?

[Butch350]

90. Maybe he's referring to shit hole music!

[edc]

91. Child Molesters?

"I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."

C'mon Mr. Pedophilia. Maybe you should shoot yourself. If I'm not mistaken, a 30 year old man having sex with a 17 year old girl who is his dependent can be defined as at least child sexual abuse and statutory rape. What a fucking sorry ass hypocrite.

[Jakes Progress]

92. Two words that describe him and his music well. nt

[DFW]

93. There's a reason the radical right hates education budgets

If teachers teach their kids the truth, then they can't teach their kids lies as easily.

They hate the implications: That would mean less Republicans.

[judesedit]

94. Better than "terrorist" and "complete failure" as in the Bush administration

And for the NRA/KKK...I want racists dead.

[gleaner]

95. Huh?

My observation is that Obama is very organized and with it. So is his staff. He plans carefully and meticulously and organizes well.

Ted Nugent must not have killed enough animals lately. He seems to require causing the death of something before he can feel inner peace. Maybe we should mate him with Sarah Plain who also likes animal sacrifice, and see what happens. They both speak rubbish and lack values. A perfect match. He's a lot uglier though. He looks like walking beef jerky. Imagine their offspring.:hide:

[onehandle]

96. Go Terrible Ted!

Go shut your fucking, talentless mouth.

[graywarrior]

99. One of these days his guns will turn on him probably by his own hand

He is a loud mouthed fool and the best part is that he doesn't know it.
