Why Ted Nugent’s “Threats” Against the Obama Administration Shouldn’t Be Taken Lightly

Guitarist and “activist” Ted Nugent is another popular figure in hot water for his comments about the Obama administration during an NRA convention in St.Louis. According to the Associated Press, during the convention last week, Nugent toted the Obama administration as the “evil, America-hating administration.” While that’s not the worst insult I’m sure you’ve heard about, the rocker took things up a notch by comparing the administration to coyotes who needed to be shot, and urged NRA members to “to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November.” And the icing on the cake was when he told the crowd what he would do if the president was re-elected: “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.” Word Ted? WORD?

I’m guessing the secret service wasn’t feeling this, because Ted is slated to meet with them on Thursday to explain his comments. He told his buddy Glenn Beck (your other favorite person) that after he talks with the secret service, it will be pretty clear that he wasn’t threatening the president whatsoever. But despite what he says, a lot of people are still calling the comments threatening, and for those who have guns but don’t have sense, it might be the words they need to hear to act a fool this fall. And yes, Nugent is endorsing Mitt Romney with all his might.

It’s funny how just last week people were getting in Hilary Rosen’s behind because she made comments about Mitt Romney’s wife being a stay-at-home mother who really hadn’t worked a day in her life after Romney said he looked to her as a guide to women’s economic struggles. Yet this fool gets in front of the gun-toting NRA, talking about the President and his administration and calling them evil, comparing the November elections to a battlefield, even saying he’ll be dead or in jail if President Obama is re-elected, and folks are on the hush this time around.

Writer Leslie Marshall at US News World & Report said that despite people’s views on the President’s record or positions, folks still need to have and show a lot more respect to him. Why? Because he’s the damn president! Hello!!!!

“Although I’m not that old a broad yet, I am seeing a growing number of Americans disrespect not only the man in the Oval Office, but the office of the president. It seems the older I get, the less respect Americans have for our commander in chief.

Some will say this is just Nugent being a loudmouth, he isn’t really threatening the president. Perhaps that is true, but what about the idiot who will follow Nugent’s words and make a true threat or attempt to carry out such violent rhetoric? Have we learned nothing from the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords?!  When will the use of such  language stop?! And the disrespect!”

AMEN! People throw the worst forms of shade and disrespect at our president as though everything he’s dealing with and trying to work on during his presidency is something he created alone. From immature governor’s pointing their fingers in his face, to folks calling him boy, sending rude emails about his wife, and now this big dummy (*in Fred Sanford voice*)  encouraging trigger happy individuals to take matters in their own hands when it comes to dealing with the president and his administration in the fall, this stuff has to stop. He might not really be telling people to hurt the president, but as Marshall said, after the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, he should have known better. Sure, President Bush had a few shoes thrown at him during trips to Iraq, but the disrespect President Obama gets from his own people here at home, GROWN PEOPLE who should know better, is despicable. If President Obama were a Republican, trust, the outcry would be immense (with Bill O’Reilly at the helm). Just as Rosen was held fully accountable for her words, so should this man. I’m telling you, if incidents like this don’t make you want to swarm the voting booths in November, I really don’t know what will…

    Bill O’Reilly repeatedly said that Al Sharpton should apologize for injecting emotion into the Trayvon Martin case. So I can’t WAIT to hear what he has to say about Nugent. I understand free speech and all that good stuff, but that’s just plain reckless talk. Especially in light of what happened to Giffords in Arizona last year. I think he’s an idiot and he’s trying to incite violence.

    He should be arrested.

    Make no mistake about it. He (and other exytemist ) know exactly what they are doing when they make these inciting and flammatory comments. They are hoping that some crazy, poor white trash will do their dirty work. The KKK were used to do the dirty ground work of the higher ups. Same stuff, new method.

    I’m not surprised. Though Nugent shouldn’t be one to “threaten” anyone since his own family has recieved death threats because he hunts a lot.

  • A.J.

    They do need to take this seriously.  Ted Nugent is psycho, and I believe that he was absolutely serious about what he said.  This is taking things too far, as he is actually threatening serious bodily harm to the president, the PRESIDENT!  What’s terrible though is that people continue to say these horrible things without repurcussions, which makes them feel they can get away with it.  They’re taking advantage of hte fact that we live in a society that doesn’t put people away for saying things against the leaders.  Obama is and always has been cool, calm, and collected, but I’d like to see someone get their comeuppance for once.

    Exactly that’s what I just said on Twitter yesterday. President Obama is the most disrespected President in the history of this country and its disgusting! 

  • FromUR2UB

    The last Ted Nugent hit was when?  You mean, not even in this century? 

    Oh, I see.  Well, if someone can’t get noticed for his music, then this is another way to do it.

  • Twentyswt

    All he’s doing is displaying his true red neck ignorance in all it’s glory.   At the end of the day Nugent and all his conservative buddies cannot turn back time.  We have a BLACK president.  An educated, respectful leader who knows the game and the way its played.
