House Republicans Bringing Ted Nugent to State of the Union which leads me to as the fundamental question…why?
Why did the media make him relevant in the first place? His songs suck. If he plays live now in any way or any time after that Cat Scratch Fever tour and even then quite frankly, he is that quintessential music artist that is a caricature of one self….its what bands like the Eagles and Phish wanted to avoid when they had hiatuses with their bands but again, why does any one care what this guy has to say about anything….
House Republicans promised a makeover after Americans rejected their party in November – but who knew they were just going to get uglier?
An honored guest of House Republicans at the State of the Union address is Ted Nugent, who once threatened the President’s life, equated feminists to “a fat pig who doesn’t get it often enough” and called the President’s supporters “pimps and whores.”
Send House Republicans a message: Tell them bringing Ted Nugent as an “honored guest” is one ugly makeover.
Background: Nugent’s greatest hits:
- Nugent on President Obama’s supporters: “Pimps whores & welfare brats & their soulless supporters have a president to destroy America.” [@TedNugent, 11/7/12]
- Nugent on women: “What’s a feminist anyways? A fat pig who doesn’t get it often enough?” [VH1, Behind the Music Remastered: Ted Nugent, 1/30/12]
- Nugent on President Obama: “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.” [Washington Post, 4/17/12]
- Nugent on African-Americans: “See, I’m a black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally … because I have the audacity to speak the truth to identify the violations of our government.” [Christian Science Monitor, 4/18/12]
- Nugent on the Civil War: “Because our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government hold the 10th Amendment in contempt, I’m beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War. Our Founding Fathers’ concept of limited government is dead.” [Washington Times, 7/6/12]
- Nugent on undocumented immigrants: “I’d like to shoot them dead.” [Fox News, Hannity and Colmes, 10/13/08]
