Call it the "Kevin Bacon Theory of Politics."
The beginning of the general election has spurred the onset of the "silly season," a generally substance-free point in the cycle when rival campaigns lob attacks at each other, in hopes that one sticks. Look no further than the recent countervailing demands by the Obama and Romney campaigns that the other apologize for the words and deeds of its supporters.
It's reminiscent of the parlor game, "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," where a player tries to trace their path to the actor in the fewest possible steps. At this point in the 2012 campaign, politics has turned into an effort to dig up a controversial statement made by a figure and tie them to the rival candidate in as few steps as possible.

Both rocker Ted Nugent (L) and Democratic consultant Hilary Rosen (R) have found themselves ensnared in political controversies, despite their thin ties to the candidates whom they support.
In short, the “Kevin Bacon Theory of Politics” is that the success of a campaign's efforts to tie a rival candidate to a controversial supporter depends on the number of perceived steps between the two, even if that degree of separation is a result of spin.
The manufactured controversies that have overtaken the presidential campaign in recent weeks seem to depend on the strength of each campaign's efforts to tie their opponent to whatever bone-headed thing a supporter or surrogate has said.
Witness Democrats' furious effort on Tuesday to tie Mitt Romney to incendiary comments made by rocker Ted Nugent, who told a National Rifle Association audience that if President Barack Obama wins a second term, he'll "either be dead or in jail by this time next year." He also urged Republicans to "ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November."
Top Talkers: Senate Republicans on Monday blocked President Obama's so-called "Buffett Rule," which would have raised the tax rate for the country's top earners. The Morning Joe panel – including Time's Mark Halperin, financier Steven Rattner, and Donny Deutsch – discusses.
The Democratic National Committee circulated a video and a slew of press releases describing Nugent as a surrogate for Romney, and demanding the former Massachusetts governor's condemnation of the musician.
"Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from,” Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul eventually told TPM. “Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil.”
It was a page straight out of the Romney playbook; last week, the Boston-based campaign successfully forced the president himself to disavow the comments of a Democratic consultant -- whose direct ties to Obama are scant at best -- who said that the GOP candidate’s wife, Ann, had "never worked a day in her life."
But the DNC's attack Tuesday has largely fallen flat, even though the Secret Service acknowledged a routine inquiry into Nugent's comments, and -- as Democrats were eager to point out -- Romney had courted the "Cat Scratch Fever" writer's support. Democrats also pointed to Romney son Tagg's celebratory tweet about Nugent's endorsement.
The reality is that each campaign's efforts to tar the other with the comments of supporters largely involves a (usually willful) distortion of reality.
In an interview with NBC affiliate WCMH, the President calls Rosen's comments "ill-advised."
"There is clearly a connection between Ms. Rosen and the Obama administration," Republican Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers said on a conference call last week, referring to the Democratic operative whose comments toward Ann Romney sparked the initial controversy.
(In reality, Hilary Rosen maintained no contracts with the Obama campaign or DNC, though her firm, SKDKnickerbocker, had other ties to the administration. Republicans pointed to Rosen's visits to the White House, though those were hardly eye-popping in total for a Washington, D.C., consultant.)
The attempts to bind Romney to Nugent's remarks have fallen short because the relationship between the two is nebulous at best. To describe the Motor City Madman as a Romney "surrogate" is a specious assertion at best. By contrast, it was Romney aide Eric Fehrnstrom's likening of his boss's pivot from the primary to the general election to erasing an Etch A Sketch so politically potent for the Obama campaign and rival Republicans.
So what are the limits? The first lady's office didn't hesitate to call "inappropriate" a joke made by actor Robert De Niro's comments at a fundraiser -- in the presence of Michelle Obama -- that America wasn't again ready for a white first lady.
And Mitt Romney long ago denounced the "birther" theories that had been vocally espoused by Donald Trump, who's now ironically supporting the former Massachusetts governor, and hosting a fundraiser on his behalf on Tuesday. When conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh -- who wasn't exactly an effusive supporter of Romney's -- used incendiary language to describe Georgetown student and contraceptive access advocate Sandra Fluke, Romney distanced himself anyway, saying "it's not the language I would have used." (Democrats nevertheless spun this as a failure to condemn.)
GOP front-runners Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum respond from the campaign trail to Rush Limbaugh's comments on Sandra Fluke. The Washington Post's Anne Kornblut and MSNBC contributor Perry Bacon talk about the situation.
But a pro-Obama super PAC run by a former administration spokesman hasn't budged in the face of Republican demands that it return a $1 million donation from comedian Bill Maher, who used colorful language in reference to both Ann Romney and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
But if the silly season tests anything, it will be the number of degrees of separation between Obama or Romney and one of their supporters it will take before a condemnation or apology is rendered unnecessary.
The actor Kevin Bacon might also be well-advised to watch his words, too; after all, he donated to the Obama campaign in 2008.


The has been alcoholic rocker from Detroit's comments were comparable to yelling fire in a crowded theater!
Enough so that the Secret Service is investigating...
Then for once, why didn't Willard put his mouth where his money is, come out and reject those kind of incendiary comments?
Says the queen of incendiary comments....
Feisty, this is because Romney doesn't want to put any details on the table of any sort.
Wayne,
Willard claims to be such a better leader then President Obama, wouldn't you think this is the perfect opportunity to take the lead and tell these yahoo's to tone it down?
Sheesh!
Even McCain's campaign reeled in Bible Spice & her death trolling at her mob events!
Nugent has repeatedly physically threatened the president and has urged others to do the same. No president since Lincoln has faced such hatred. Look who it is coming from. The GOTP.
Feisty, if Mitt were a leader, he would say something about Nugent's comments, but he hasn't because he is not a leader. He is nothing more than a very ambitious opportunist.
He cares not for the president's safety or his family's safety. Like I said. If he were a true, caring leader, he would have said something. It may have even gained him a few political points from independents. He is too busy stroking his redneck teaparty pals to care.
Political attacks are something both sides are good at but the GOP seems to come up with the most hateful and ridiculous ones. As I read this atricle I realized it failed to ask one very important question; What has the Republican Party done in the last 15 years to improve the lives of most Americans? If you think about it for a minute, the answer is NOTHING.
Hardly.
The Secret Service should investigate any comments from anyone who says that the presidents safety could be in danger. That's their job. No problem with that.
If someone from the other side of the aisle says something you are able to come to that conclussion. Please then tell us what you feel about what MSNBC did when they edited the 911 tapes of George Zimmerman that set off a chain reaction that had actual consequences. The nation is still on edge because of those comments and there could still be more dire consequences because of it. Will the Attorney General then investigate and suggest possible prosecution for that person? Will MSNBC be held legally responsible for any further actions if riots break out because of their total disregard for responsible news reporting?

Fiesty
Willard is a rat; remember; (pun intended)? Mostly everything he says and does originates in the basement or the gutter. He will never open his stealthy mouth for fear of being seen too sensible.
First read; I can't believe you don't think what this "off his rocker", rocker said is NOT newsworthy enough to NOT afford another repetition of this implied violence in this sensitive times; particularly, with FOX, ALEC, the Koch bros (scions of the John Birch Society), militia groups, and the NRA espousing a tinder box; so to speak.
Big Al,
And they have the $$$ do carpet bomb the airwaves, you only have to look at what Willard has spent so far on just in the primaries...
Pretty much all of the "silly" is coming from the Republicans. They are the party of obstructionism, contraception, war, tax breaks for billionaires and the War on Women. Now they want to take the wheel after driving the country off of an economic cliff just three years ago! Please, there is no comparison and while the democrats are far from perfect the Republicans are a disaster... unless you are a billionaire.
LEFT LIBERAL LIARS, what one person did to edit that tape was wrong by any standard and I believe he has been delt with, correct me if I am wrong there. Now to be fair in elections both sides do their share of editing facts, points of view, opinions, gee whiz he said she said. And when they do, it can cause us all harm, we are all just pawns for politicians and elite individuals to play with. The only power we still have for now is the vote and if not used wisely we can all be on the loosing end of these people from any side. We are the only guardians of our future not new media, not politicians, not any corporation, we the individual for now still have some control of our future and we need to collect all the information we can from as many sources as possible before we make our next vote as it could well be the last time we get to vote.
Um actually he's not an alcoholic or a drug user. He denounces them both. He's also sold over 30 million records and has authored several books, including one that has been on the New York Times best seller list.
Easy Beverly, you are starting to sound like Crazy Ted!!
Sorry Fiest,
Have to disagree on this one. Ted isn't FOR Romney, he is just against Obama. This is not Romney's fight. This stupidity of apologizing (by either man) for someone famous making "stupid" comments has gone far enough.
Ted stretches all the Amendments. Namely 1 and 2.
Nugent spews hate and violence. The rest matters not to me talanx.
And Nugent needs a nice, long rest at the nearest mental health facility.
So, according to NBC a lot of the recent issues have been "silly" and "without substance". Of course they are NBC, because most of these issues were instigated by Dems, and blew up right in their faces....to Romney's advantage. Limbaugh's comment about the student, instead of ending his empire backfired into Maher's much more offensive remarks about Palin.... and everybody is still waiting for Obama to give Maher's $1million back. Rosen, a paid Dem operative's incredibly stupid remark about Mrs Romney all but killed the "Republicans hate women" crap emanating from the Whitehouse. And Buffet's (who owes about $1billion in back taxes) brilliant tax plan coundn't even get through the Dem-held Senate.
Kevin Bacon, indeed....nice try NBC!
One need only look at the successes of Obama during these past 3 1/2 years. Opps, can't run on that, then let's attack everything else. After all those failures are not Obama's fault, but should be layed at the feet of George Bush.
Spider some day you will grow up and learn to read and comprehend. Get out more listen more before repeating what you are told to say. You just proved to everyone your IQ is under 12.
Sicko twisted Ted Nugent is a Pedophile who bedded a teenager after convincing her parents to allow him to become her Legal Guardian.
Why did Willard take the call of this crazed lunatic Pedophile?
Ted Nugent is a joke. He baits ALL the animals he takes on his hunting show......LOSER!!!
It's true, both sides have been manufacturing hay to throw at each other. The problem is, the Republicans do have problems with women and Hispanics, and that will be their undoing.
Romney can't undo his leaning far right during the primary, in hopes that everyone will forget as he moves to the middle. Those sound bytes will be coming back at him in the form of campaign ads.
After I read this article, I scrolled back to the top to see who wrote and put this on the internet....
MSNBC.....the NBC stands for nothing but crap.
3+ years and Ted is still alive. I am so sick and tired of over the top silly comments from both sides. Stop being effin whiners. This is politics folks. I hated when Bush was in office, because of some of his policies and he was not "my guy", but to say I am going to die or something so drastic is going to happen is just silly. Remember congress is more dangerous than any President. Congress should be the ones with term limits. So Ted, I am sorry, but you might have to put us with 4 more years, but nothing more than that. We in the greatest country in the world figure out that two terms was enough for any President, but messed up on the congressional terms limits. This too shall pass Ted...this too shall pass.
Dumb FUX and friends -- Nugent? Really? How about Common? Invited to the White House by the Obama's in May of last year. And you think Governor Romney needs to say something? No, no he does not.
Common appeared at the "Evening of Poetry"event -- part of Michelle Obama's White House Music Series – where he recited some lines amidst piano accompaniment in front of the audience of children and adults.
This rapper's controversial rhyme -- "Why they messing with Saddam? / burn a bush cos' for peace he no push no button / killing over oil and grease / no weapons of destruction" -- is from his poem "Letter to the Law," which he recited on a 2007 episode of HBO's "Def Poetry."
The "bush" he refers to was the sitting President of the United States. Anyone remember any apologies for that?
Common's lyrics and recent White House invitation have also enraged members of the police force. On the track "A Song for Assata" from 11 years ago Common praised a fugitive convicted of brutally murdering a state trooper in 1973:
"Shot twice wit her hands up/Police questioned but shot before she answered/One Panther lost his life, the other ran for his/Scandalous the police were as they kicked and beat her."
@talanx - lots of folks have written NYT best sellers, not that that has any bearing on whether their political rantings should be followed. Our current President has had a few, but somehow I doubt that raises your opinion of him. The same goes for Senator Franken, whose had a successful entertainment career and at least 3 books on the NYT list. Bet you still think he doesn't deserve the seat he won fair and square.
Really, Ted needs to go back to playing kick ass guitar and writing misongyistic songs instead of spewing hate about our current political leaders. Hell, he's even allowed himself to be mislead about which political party has stomped all over our constitution the most in the past decade.
And to be fair, those Eagle's boys would do well to sit on the sidelines also.
Wow comparing an entertainer who Romney probably has never met to a person paid by the DNC that does have meetings with leaders in D.C.
We were not allow to tie Obama's preacher of twenty plus years to him, but we can tie Nugent to Romney. What a joke!
Ah....the BEAUTY of our First Amendment right to free speech. Don't you agree Bill Maar, Barbra Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Rosie O'Donnell, Joy Behar, Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews.... and Feisty?
BTW, what's the big deal?? Obama isn't going to win anyway.
Spoken like the typical Leftie without a clue. Nugent has never been, or never will be, a user of mind-altering substances. He is only doing what the rest of you lemmings don't have the balls to say or even admit. The truth! Your president would like nothing more than the dis-arming of all of the anti-Socialist citizens of this country. No, Nugent did not threaten Obama like some of you are claiming, nor would I. But dis-arming us is the only way that he can fulfill his dream of totalitarianism. Go a head and keep burying your heads in the sand. That's how the Nazis came into power. Try reading some history books instead of "O" magazine once in a while.
Ted Nugent is nothing but a traitor to his country. He doesn't love his country, he is no patriot. He is a washed up *hit guitar player has been. Does a true patriot promote violence in a democratic society? He'll say anything to get press. Revolt? He talks a big game when in fact he is a do nothing... nothing but cheap hateful words. I for one, as a member of the NRA, are embarrassed by his mouth and the fools word he speaks. He is delusional. Hey Ted, "All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Ted's head back together again" Put those words to song on your next failed CD "motor city madman". His nick-name speaks volumes for who he really is... mad.
Seems like there's a lot of people pulling for Ted on this one. Kind of ironic that Ted, as the Motor City Madman, fancies Romney since Romney said 'Let 'em fail' to the auto industry. I'll bet there's a lot of autoworkers pulling for Ted to get his either or wish.
REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER autoworkers - Vote OUT the GOP!
And I gotta believe that there's a healthy contingent of stay-at-home moms without elevators in their garages, or multiple houses, or hired help, and who are not from wealthy families, that are having a hard time with the struggle to make ends meet of Ann 'Stay-at-Home Mom' Romney.
REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER ladies - Vote Out the GOP!
Ted is a freak show, much like that dude on HBO. What is his name? Bill Maher? Sensationalism pure and simple.
However, words that sound like threats??? Not to wise! But, Ted is not known for keeping his big mouth shut now is he??
Tis the Season:
You could start that paragraph with RIGHT CONSERVATIVE LIARS and it would be mor appropriate.
And the queen of the vine has spoken...yeah I say unto you, are you but fools of the day? Yes I say they are the unclean of the liberal agenda. They know what they are doing but they will be not forgiven for their trespassing for the god of the liberals is an unforgiving wimp of little glory. There will be no leader as there has been no leader to assemble the useless demons in this decade but fear not the conservatives will finally show the wisdom to accept the shortcomings of the liberals that care not for the general population. The working man will prevail in the long run
Feisty as a fan of 70's Motor City Rock (I grew up in Detoit) Terrible Ted IS NOT a has been because he never was in the first place. other than that I agree with you
Wow, Tis the Season, what a sophisticated, mature, insult/reply. I'm crushed!
Thing is...Ted Nugent is a lousy guitarist! Now he's fallen so far that his big claim to fame is a bow hunting show on the Outdoor Channel. There he has an audience of about 20 people...this might be his big chance to increase that audience to 22!
Hard to compare Nugent with Rosen.....Rosen stated a fact (whether is was smart to say that or not) and in context what she said was correct here is a man who wants to be president who claims he takes economic advice from someone who has never been in the paid workforce or had a job (child raising is hard work and all no doubt but not part of the workforce in paid employment as we know it) it would be like a profession baseball player getting batting advice from a guy who used to watch a bit of baseball, thanks but I'll see what the coach has to say. Nugent on the other hand has made references to violence either on himself or others if the legitimate voters choose to re-elect the incumbent president....how are those 2 things remotely related, on the same page, or for that matter in the same book?
The right 'has' Ted Nugent and the left 'has' Kanye West...so what? Just proof that both sides have crazies supporting them.
Presidents of both partys blame those they defeated. Ronald Reagan bad-mouthed Jimmy Carter his first SIX YEARS in office! And, they often take credit when their opponent did something right. W's supporters (especially Limbaugh!) tried their best to get credit for daddy's admin, for the Clinton Economic Boom. Facts are facts though, W. Bush made such a horrible mess of the economy, that many economists were predicting a 10 year recession, when he left office. In truth, its been three short years (an eye-blink in our nation's history, if excrusiatingly long for many unemployed workers) and every fair minded economist notes much improvement. The same right wingers who were bad-mouthing Obama for making "negative statements about the economy", when he told the truth, that getting out of the mess would take years of hard work, are now blaming him for not getting us out sooner. I don't accept that the right wingers purposely torpedoed the recovery at every turn, (with its attendant misery, for the American people), but that has been the practical result of their wrong headed actions. US citizens have Republican foot-dragging obstructionism to blame for much of their pain and misery. If Obama is smart, he'll take a break from Abe Lincoln for a while, and read some Harry Truman. Truman straightened the citizenry out about the "do nothing", Republican controlled congress. Obama can do the same. Make Boehner a one term Speaker of the House, and Romney a historical foot note.
p
He's never had any substance abuse problem, and has been anti-drug (and outspoken about it) his entire career.
But don't let facts get in your way liberal statist.
Considering that emily rosen has been to the white house over 20 times.......I think that she has very clear ties to the president, dont you?
I don't think Ted said anything about Obama that at least hasn't been said of Palin in spades.
The only thing the Secret Service is investigating is where to find some prostitutes for Obama's next party !
Feisty Redhead, you may be able to help them, what's the name of that bar that you get trashed in?
james
Yes... comparing a man who has called for the assassination of the President Obama MULTIPLE TIMES,to the guy in the GAP commercials, who also appeared on Sesame Street... is the same thing.
@Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
It's a good thing hypocrisy is not a form of cancer because if it were you'd be riddled with it.
Watch the youtube video, it shows Nugent's statements of disgust against the current administration much better than the very poor out of context quotes the media is spinning to make him look like a nutcase. Nugent is very outspoken about the second amendment rights we have and doesn't like people who overtly threaten them even in rumors. His main point was to VOTE the liberals out, not 'chop their heads off'. The liberal media doesn't need to learn how to write, they already do, they just made Nugent look more off the wall than he really is, of course to their delight and nefarious goals.
Give me a break. The comment made by Rosen in full context was an excellent point,but had the very words that Romney could use to generate false drama about... and it WAS false... they (the Romney's) were not insulted or otherwise hurt. They saw it as a political gift because it was easily twisted to deflect the real problem... that Romney hasn't a clue about women's, gays', minorities', or 99%ers' issues. AT ALL.
Dumb FUX -- You said -- "Willard claims to be such a better leader then President Obama, wouldn't you think this is the perfect opportunity to take the lead and tell these yahoo's to tone it down?"
I imagine this was a typo and not the way you were educated. As much as you spout off here you would think you would be getting better with grammar or at least regularly use a grammar / spell checker -- "leader then" should be "leader than".
So, President Obama spoke to the country last year: "President Obama offered the nation’s condolences on Wednesday to the victims of the shootings here, calling on Americans to draw a lesson from the lives of the fallen and the actions of the heroes, and to usher in a new era of civility in their honor.
You have clearly chosen to ignore his request so why would you think Governor Romney would have any greater success if he made the same request? Or were you just dragging him through the mud of dirty politics.
Would you like this free speech?
Would you like to have it for each?
Would you bash who disagree?
Because it's wrong what others see?
indie -- read the post. maybe he has been on sesame street but he also called for the burning of President Bush and praised the murderer of a cop.
Leave Uncle Ted alone, he just says what most Americans think, your just too much of a coward to say it, he said Chop their heads of, if you take your head out of your azz you would know its at the polls, otherwise he wouldnt have stated to do it in November. And for the record, anyone have any proof that Uncle Ted is an alcoholic?? For the record, he is very anti drug and anti alcohol. Just listen to the beginning of Wang Dang Sweet Poontang from Double Live Gonzo. He tells anyone wanting to get MELLOW(as in High) to" get the F**K out of here". You can wish someone to die in America, as long as you dont threaten to do so. ROCK ON TED
....and they have denied John Lennon's entry to the US because of anti-Vietnam rhetoric. He didn't receive a Nobel Peace Price because of 'subversive lyrics'.
Why knock Nugent then?
no, ted nugent never did drugs.. the puritan rightie just had sex with hundreds, if not thousands of women! that was HIS vice instead. but shhh dont tell the moral police on the right.
only a righty would equate saying ann romney never worked a day in her life (arguably so, how many of YOU have six servants..whoops, house assistants and several cadillacs?) with threatening to kill a president?
the party of gun violence- the gop.
keep talkin crazy ted.. got some more lousy books to sell im sure. your music has pretty much always sucked, notwithstanding your two "hits," which i always thought sucked to.. cat scratch fever?
the rest of the music community thinks youre a talentless hack too, also why you cant sell any more recrods these days (the 70's are OVER bud).
keep on threatening peoples lives.. you're a real big man. take palin out on a date.
Don't care who you are or what political persuasion, joking about, encouraging, or even hinting at the killing of a president, any president, is wrong wrong and wrong. Nothing to defend and ALL AMERICANS should be able to agree on that.
Don't want to have to admit that Nugent is from Detroit, but unfortunately he is. He's also a schizophrenic, hateful idiot too. Sorry to say, Feisty, that he isn't or ever was an alcoholic or drug user, he just acted like it. In the late sixties right into the early eighties he kinda ruled around here, and then he started his rwnj political rants on his own radio station, The Bear. Needless to say, he lost most of his fan base and now plays to an audience of skoal packing, camo wearing, deer killing morons. He's nothing but a skinny little punk with a big mouth and rarely ventures from his compound near the Bushes in Crawford, TX. I've heard reports he had to leave Michigan because of threats on his own life, but can't confirm that. Anyway, i'm not surprised by anything this dufus says. He's insignificant in the music business and has been for 30 years.
Nugent is a pants pooping draft dodger!! What a foul pig!!!
Thanks Tony for clearing that up!
I stand corrected, Nugent wasn't an alcoholic, he only came across as one due to his mental illness!
The dude is a few fries short of a Happy Meal, regardless he's still a has been!
At least he's been more than just another talking parrot for a political party. Unlike some people I could name.
Gotta love the hypocrisy from both sides though. All you political supporters on either side of the aisle are little more than children throwing insults back and forth at each other, trying to portray yourselves as the "better" side...when the simple truth is that both sides are a joke.
Those of us who are not brainwashed by either side's rhetoric wish you all would grow up someday.
I realize that's a forlorn hope though. It is far easier to ignore your own faults and point the finger of blame at the other side, rather than owning up to your own faults and condemn your own side's leaders for their mistakes, corruption and morally repugnant stances.
Another election cycle. Another nice, long round of stupidity from both camps. Where's the popcorn??
Nugent is a washed up Rocker who is wayyyyyy past his expiration date, He takes Geritol and Viagra to stay awake and get it on. He has NO Clue what it is to be an American Citizen. If he doesnt like something he says kill it like Joseph Stalin did in the 40s - 50s. In America it is called DEMOCRACY if your side loses you dont shout out KILL somebody. JESUS I am so done and Turned off by the GOTP. I gotta go throw up
Only an absolute moron would try to compare the comments of Nugent to those of Rosen...Nugent is an ENTERTAINMENT figure while rosen is, literally, a Democratic campaign strategist. Nugent is a loudmouth who happens to be a Republican...Rosen is part of the DNC leadership in campaigning. It is absolutely a false equivalency.
Democrats fall for this because they're just not that good logic. They'll grasp at any straw argument to have a fit over.
Just read Newsvine for any length of time and you can plainly see the malicious demeanor of the liberals...it's patently ridiculous that they would call for ANYONE to apologize to them.
GOP defend threats as a constitutonal right and then attack Obama on concepts that the GOP introduced (mandate). GOP are bat @!$%# crazy!
Ted Nugent is nothing more than a clown. People pay him to come to his ranch to participate in "canned" hunting events where he fences off a few acres of his compound and throws the animal in there. They all run around for twenty minutes in their camouflage acting like they are quietly stalking their prey. After they get the stunned animal in the corner of the fencing they blast away. That is one hell of a sporting challenge now isn't - that's down right sad and silly. Uncle Ted we are going to hold you to your word - You said and I quote "A year from now if President Obama is re-elected you said you'll either be dead or in jail". That's fine with us, just don't disappoint us and for once in your life be a man of your word you silly clown.
J R Brownstein.....can you please confirm the details of Rosens contract with DNC, or any campagin by a Democratic candidate or any remote contractural connection between the Democratic Party and Ms Rosen? Hilary Rosen is a lobbyist, pundit, commentator, former Head of the Recording Industry Assoc (maybe that is where these 2 have banged heads before....she must have told Nugent he is a washed up has been who wasn't much even then) she has been to the White House a lot, most good lobbyists have however there is no recorded meeting between her and the current Pres or his staff.....on the other hand Jack Ambroff had regular meetings with all of the previous Rep. Presidents back to Reagan....so maybe she isn't that good of a lobbyist probably not much of a strategist either. However she has no connection (other than philoshopical) to the Democratic Party.....so the ploy of trying to tie her to the Administration or the DNC is well a nice try...she no more speaks for Democrats than Ted Nugent speaks for Republicans.
Storm in a tea cup on a slow news day.....however what Ms Rosen said was at least factual (proves that she is not much of a strategist though as it was not a clever thing to say or could have been said better) Anne Romey has in her adult life never been in the workforce or had a "job" as we know it, and no one has argued that point in fact the Romey's seem to be very proud of the fact that they are doing quite nicely without a second income.
hey jr. brownstain - you must be new around here, or else you read with rose colored glasses on.
That would be the one they don't let you in.
un-united
Ted a traitor to his country? What? Is he hanging out with terrorists? Is he trying to force socialism on this country? Is he selling guns to the drug traffickers south of the border?
If I had a dollar for every hate fling comment hurled at Bush & Cheney (which still continue today, mind you), I'd never have to work for The Man. Not that I'm condoning what Mr. Wango Tango said, but let's just compare and be fair. Oh wait, liberals don't think that a movie lauding the assassination of Bush is a bad thing. Okay.
And then there's Bill Maher...
Come on, Feisty. Try to manage to post a comment without getting collapsed. I'm kinda tired of rooting through collapsed comments that contain a lot of good posts...
Ann Romney never did anything but spread her legs for a living. The fact that Mitt had to ask her what women were thinking supports the evidence that he does not have a clue about more than half of the American electorate. Barack Obama doesn't need to ask Michelle about women. He already knows because he has done his homework. He hasn't sit around in a board room with his thumb up his butt.
Ted Nugent belongs in jail. Anyone else who made those types of threats would be thrown in jail immediately.
I'm enjoying the pleasurable reassuring sensation of knowing that people, and groups of people, engage in this type of negative loud-mouth behavior, just before they lose their fight.
So much divisiveness on the vine about this and so many other topics... Sad to see where this is taking the USA, land of the free, home of the brave.
I used to say the internet was a great tool to get us thinking and understanding about other peoples points of view and how much we all as U.S citizens really had in common...
I now kiiiiiinda see it as a Quad Core, 2.8ghz, 1TB, 6GB DIMM "hate box" ... Guess I was wrong...
I'm Just Sayin'...
It looks like DumbFux Feisty Redhead is being automatically collapsed all the time. Seems like Feisty is her own worst enemy.
Maybe MSNBC should just ban her altogether, and save everyone the trouble.
marinmom,
Barack Obama doesn't need to ask Michelle about women. He already knows because he has done his homework
Right, keep telling yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Obama knows about as much as Romney when it comes to anything important to "average" Americans, men OR women. In other words...not a damned thing.
You ideologues on both sides of the aisle just keep telling yourselves that your side is good and the other side is bad. Yeah, that's been working real well for the last few decades. I have news for you people. BOTH SIDES are responsible for the mess we're in. BOTH SIDES are corrupt. BOTH SIDES are filled with a bunch of lying, two-faced frauds...and the worst part is that you geniuses will keep on electing them into office.
What a bunch of drones. Stick your heads back in the kool aid trough.
Marinmom-Found your statement about Ann Romney foul and disgusting. You can dislike anybody you want but that crap is just childish and uncalled for. There isn't a damn thing wrong with being a stay at home mom. Why would it be sooo much better if she'd had a high powered career and let nanny raise the kids??? Doesn't in anyway make her uneducated or uniformed about world events or any thing else. Seems like all anyone wants to do is see how much they can slam anyone with opinions that differ from their own. Why?? Isn't the freedom to think and do what suits you within the linits of the law and common decency what America is supposed to be about????
So juvenile this tit for tat of which politician should apologize for whose statements/and or actions. Can you blame Romney for Nugent anymore than you can blame Obama for Sharpton, Jackson, spike and the Black Panthers???
What Rosen said about Ann Romney is the truth, she has never been a part of the workforce. Hell she didn't have to do much "work" in her home either with all the help. All the laundry, mopping, cooking and cleaning she had to oversee is tough! She had the luxury of not having to know what it is like to try and make ends meet on one salary, or of having no option but to have a paying job and struggling to keep it all together.
As far as Obama and guns that some nutcases are spouting, please name one thing Obama has done to try and change the gun laws. You can't because it hasn't happened. So keep trying to push that, it only makes you look stupid.
Just as with Rush Limbaugh, Mitt Romney showed no leadership in regard to Ted Nugent.
good lord dems are at it again. its always refreshing to see liberal speech police at work.
see a conservative doesn't care if his detractors say they are against everything he stands for in a controversial way. but if you say something controversial about president obama or some other liberal of note they lick their chops and say 'now we can ruin him' and they go out of their way and call favors and press in on whoever they are employed with and urge them to be removed from their careers. its sad that people still think obamas not a socialist when that's all the democratic party is a bunch of socialists who brainwash college kids into thinking the founding fathers were elitists.
on another note you sheeple who are ragging on romney for his money should know that he wasnt born wealthy he worked for every freaking penny he had which also for the congitively impaired among you liberals means that his wife didnt always have money either.
its amazing that you people can call out Palin for going to work when she had kids one of which had special needs then turn around and call out another woman for not working and staying at home with her kids all the while surviving cancer and dealing with multiple sclerosis.
the democratic party is simply this.
hate all the people who have more then you, even if they worked for it
believe that taking from hardworking people and their families to give to less fortunate people, who some of which are welfare leeches and haven't worked a day in their lives thx to liberal progressionist social reforms.
be a marxist and call it liberal democracy
you liberals are scum. when your fail logic fails to spin something negative about you into a positive you look to attack the individual on a personal level on some fault he/she may have then spin that into you being right purely because that person isn't the picture of perfection.
joblessness isnt going away thx to obama people are just falling off the rolls of unemployment because they cant find work. and the actual number of jobs to compare those numbers of falling unemployment to are also decreasing
5 trillion debt that obama has managed to gather from his presidency alone.
he said that if he couldn't fix the economy in 3 years he would be a one term president and would not go for re-election.
his obamacare will add one trillion dollars of new debt to the deficit. he covered that up by having his lobbyist spend the money saved form medicare and medicaid being gone (500 billion dollars) twice
budget - 500bil from loss of medicare/medicaid doesn't equal 1 trillion to spend on obamacare.
you sheeple liberals are just blind to what your liberally biased media tells you. do yourselves a favor look at information on subjects your concerned about in the country before looking to see what the media says about it or what the democratic committee has decided on it. i guarantee that if obama stays in office this country will find one of its most trying times ahead of it. and if by some miracle of god we are still around as a functional nation by the end of the next four terms of an obama administration you can guarantee he will try and stay in office.
so lets see obama has now said in his class warfare speech that capitalism is a failed concept. and that individualism is and outdated mode of thinking by the right. and that capitalism has bankrupted this country but its the millions of illegal welfare leeches who soak up our benefits while paying nothing back into it and all the liberal woe is them programs that soak up our federal budgets don't do a thing.
think about this you liberal hippy ecotards the berlin wall came down under a Republican President a conservative one his name was Ronald Reagan. who obama has now even tried to rewrite history and say that Ronald Reagan was a quote "wild-eyed socialist" end quote. revisionist history is also a tried and true method of socialist/communist states.
so sheeple take a look back rethink with your brainwashed mind did you really believe all this ridiculous BS the leftist Marxists are spinning you?
Boo-hoo-hoo. I feel so bad for President Devisive. Obama, his propagandists, and his mindless minions are the masters of hate-filled, incendiary comments about wittle Barry's politial rivals. But they can't take it when they are on the recieving end. Well, Hypocrisy is the defining characteristic of the left.
Zathrose - Plus you hide behind a non name - coward that you are - you can shove your so called head where the sun doesn't shine and I am sick and tired of your disrespect of the office of the Presidency - what gives you the right as just a nothing person to say so
\Sorry or not to sorry anyone who professes to attack a sitting President or any other member of Congress can be arrested or treated with a threat to perform such an act and I for one who lived through the killing of JFK and MlK and Reagan being shot - is this what you really want and hope for
\Obama has had more death threats than any other sitting President - is this what you really want?
\Than I say to you - you are not an American or any person I ever want to be associated with - you have the vote and if you subscribe to this mindless hate filled gibberish than shame - shame - shame on you!
Get your butt to the local voting station and spew your anger there - and if the multitude of people have spoken then just shut the FUP and live with it
I believe in free speach, I also believe you have the right to bear arms. What I dont believe is you are allowed to threaten the life of the president (no matter what party they belong to). You can disagree on policy and debate that all day, but when you step over the line and tell people to take their heads off that is wrong, when you insinuate you will either be in prison or dead in a year if he is reelected that is wrong. Romney asked for his endorsement, he courted him and was happy when he got it, now its time for Mitt to show some core and denounce him totally.
Maybe because, unlike Rosen, Nugent didn't visit Romney's house 35 times, or even once for that matter that we know of.
talanx,
I usually find the Feisty one accurate this time yes and no. Nugent is a has been moron but he is not an alcoholic. He has never done drugs or alcohol perhaps if so he would be a little more mellow. Do these venues sound like driving musical force or a has been : Nuttie Jerry's Winnie, Tx. , Inn of the Mountain Goat Resort Mescalero, NM. ,Coach House San Juan Capistrano, Ca. , Celebrity Theatre Phoenix, Az.. PLENTY OF TICKETS AVAILABLE. He hasn't had a gold album in 32 years his signature song Cat Scratch Fever never got past #30 virtually all of his record sales came between 1975 and 1980. I would say not having anything getting airplay in 30 years and not selling out 500 seat arena's pretty much makes you a has been. Nuttie Jerry's?
jkh
Well Babs-
That would be the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. I know it's just a pesky, dusty, old document that gets in the way of all the machinations of you left-wing zealot types. But until a "multitude of people have spoken" and repealed it, you masters of hate-filled, incendiary comments about wittle Barry's politial rivals are just going to have "shut the FUP" and live with it.
By the way Babs-
Getting elected to a political office does not entitle one to instant honor or respect. Honor and respect has to be earned and wittle Barry has earned neither.
Probably true, but Obama didn't pander after her endorsement, like Romney did with Nugent. But then, Mitt steers that course with just about everyone he wants to support him. One of these days perhaps he may learn that you can't be all things to all people...no matter how much you flip-flop.
Wonder why he surmised that conclusion? Are you planning on doing something stupid, Ted?
Take your pick, Nugent...either way, you won't be missed.
jimreaper, please mind rule # 1 of the Code of Honor in the future.
But Sally, darling, did you miss the comments at # 1.79 ? Are those okay with you ??
Selective enforcement of comments here does not get a lot of respect. You need to be consistent. Telling someone to shove their head where the sun does not shine is worse than some comments.
Ted Nugent said he is like "a black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally." The only more dangerous thing to be is a black Jew at a Ted Nugent concert.
Sally,
Or maybe the comments at #2.77 are more to your liking ..... something about "white butts". I do imagine a reference to another certain "color" would have libbies in a dither ! Consistency ??
Does anyone else get hungry when Kevin Bacon is mentioned?
Whether Rosen visited the White House 20 times or 35 times, that doesn't mean that Obama was aware of much less approved what she said about Mrs. Romney any more than my 35 visits to the library means I speak for the librarian. That Obama attended a Church whose pastor, Jeremiah Wright, said things during his sermons doesn't mean that Obama was aware of or approved of what Wright chose to say.
Why are conservatives so illogical?
Typical GOP Politics
Throwing Hatred Tantrums to the :
President Of United States
Many of the UNKOWN before on National Stage,being treated as Heroic Frontier,from rag to riches, in gaining personel fortune by doing Just that!!! -Don't believe me?, ask run-away crimminal"Joe the fugitive plumber",fake,lies as Best Selling Book? Ask GOP if you're their darlings,they will purchase bundle by bundle the unsold copies to cover morality,ask Sarah Palin,Bachman,Jan Brewer...and many more.
Just show your tantrum BAD GESTURES----------To the President Of United States and his Office.The tactics of Grand Old Party will Hails and Confers "You as Heroic".
The foundation of hatred,fears,lies and uneducated theological of the Tea-Party
are the main Manifesto introduced to make this Country Fails every Corner of the civilized World.
The people who supported this are DESPICABLE HIPPOCRATE PARIAHS of fractures spices of human being.
@ screwedworld,
Where did I diss stay at home moms? I don't disrespect stay at home moms. I disrespect wealthy women who think they represent the average American woman. Ann Romney doesn't have a clue what is important to American women. If she did, she would not be voting republican. Nor would you. Ann Romney THINKS she has worked but she hasn't, in comparison to MOST of the electorate. Too bad you lie to yourself so much or maybe you would make a decent person. The inability to believe anything other than what you want to be true is a disease called Narcissism. You need to see someone about it.
@screwedworld,
By the way, I was raised a Mormon but left the church when I left home (like the next day). Mormons do NOT respect women. In the late 70's, after the feminist movement, they finally decided that they should let women give the prayers in church services. They still can't hold the priesthood. Mormon women are told that "the woman's place is in the home", a typical attitude for a cult whose founder instituted polygamy.
Also, people think that Mormons are not Christians but that is not true,. They are. However, if you are not a Mormon, they really don't recognize your existance until you are dead and then they will baptize you against your will. Mormons are not like other Christian religions who are more accepting of other faiths as long as you are "born again". Mormons are eliteists and rarely socialize with non-Mormons, for fear of being influenced against the church and called polygamists, cult members, etc.
If these are the values that you line yourself up with, I truly feel sorry for you. You probably have Stockholm Syndrome, a psychological condition in which one begins to sympathize with their captors.
Intrade is showing some very odd paradoxes - Obama to win reelection, Supreme Court to overturn ACA, GOP to get control of Senate, Scott Walker to beat recall, and chance of a new recession - almost zero.
wm.375815
seems your briefs might be twisted and your surgery was not perfect optirectomy... so you think things are so bleak that will will win
"............The reality is that each campaign's efforts to tar the other with the comments of supporters largely involves a (usually willful) distortion of reality. .........."
Yep, and you know aht that means? OBAMA is just as much of a LIAR as anybody else. He doesn't represent anything new, he doesn't represent "change," and he isn't any great paragon of virtue as alleged by the mush-for-brains kool-aid drinkers who buy into his bull.c.r.a.p.
The recession bet is because both major candidates are Keynesians who will keep blowing up the bubble until they leave office and pass along a Depression to the next Administration in 2016-2020.
I don't think Ted said anything about Obama that at least hasn't been said of Palin in spades.
can we have a third choice? please. I don't care for either candidate. Who else is running?
Dang, and I used to like Kevin Bacon....The problem is, they are only half Keynesians, the only time Keynesian economics works is when there is a surplus...But like the libtards reading the 10th ammendment, they only read half of it and ran with it....Since acording to the libtards...the 10th ammendment states that the president can do whatever he wants...don't need congress or a senate...just spend spend spend...
This is nothing new with Nugent so what's the big deal? I believe people should know by now you don't have to guess what he's thinking.
Vincent-970634
Sorry, looks like this is what we get so it will be ABO.
Please tell me where you got the information that Governor Romney is a Keyenisans? He didn't run the state of MA as Keyenisan.
Let's see ..... Obamacare, GSA scandal, Secret Service scandal, 23 other Federal department investigations, Fast & Furious, Higher taxes, High unemployment, No Federal Budget, Under-the-table deals, Suing states for enforcing Federal laws, SCOTUS, Gas prices more that doubled, More regulations, Black Panther voter intimidation, No Keystone pipeline, Massive deficit spending, Over 5 trillion added to the national debt, No plan for anything except the "Buffet Rule", Speech after speech with no follow-through, and on & on & on.
Is this the direction our country should be heading? Aren’t we a better country than that?
Wake up people. Nobama is part of the Chicago Machine and is a Socialist. His wife reminds me of Angela Davis-Look her up all you young'uns.
God help US all!
Romney WANTED Nugent's endorsement. There is a big difference between what Hilary said and what Nugent CONTINUES to say. No comparison. Romney WANTED this endorsement.
Clear the Air, Martin Bashir, MSNBC
It's time now to clear the air and after a bloody and tortuous primary campaign, Mitt Romney is today basking in the glow of an endorsement from Speaker John Boehner.
Mr. Boehner, whose support now completes the House Republicans' affirmation of Romney, says that he'll now do everything he can to propel Mr. Romney to the White House. But he'll be hard pressed to compete with the support that's already behind Mitt Romney from one of his most dedicated--one Ted Nugent.
After their brilliant exploitation of Hilary Rosen's comment about Ann Romney having never worked outside the home, one might assume that the Romneys would be extremely careful about the kind of surrogates and endorsements that they'd want associated with their presidential campaign. Which is why I was beginning to wonder what attracted Mr. Romney to seek out Ted Nugent?
Perhaps it was Mr. Nugent's comments before the last election, when he offered a carefully considered response to the two Democrats who were fighting for the nomination. Or maybe it was Mr. Nugent's performance in front of the NRA on Sunday, just two days after Mr. Romney had delivered his keynote address at the same event.
Now consider this: the Romneys attacked Hilary Rosen because she had failed to include the words "outside of the home" when she said Ann Romney had never worked a day in her life. Hilary Rosen, who doesn't work for the President and is an independent commentator, admitted it was a mistake and has apologized.
Meanwhile, Mitt Romney welcomes the endorsement of a man who tells the President to 'suck on his machine gun,' calls the President an expletive, calls the Secret of State an expletive, and claims that the entire administration wants to turn America into an Islamic suburb of the most populated Muslim nation on earth.
Mr. Romney's spokesperson has just said that he believes everyone needs to be civil, but no sign of him yet rejecting Nugent's endorsement. You have to hand it to Mitt and Ann Romney--even their righteous indignation is as fake and as two-faced as everything else that marks their presidential campaign.
***********
The MOMENT Hillary said what she said, David Axelrod and PRESIDENT OBAMA IMMEDIATELY said her comments were inappropriate. Yet the Romney camp continued exploiting this for all this was worth.
Martin Bashir was correct. The Romneys are two faced.
"In reality, Hilary Rosen maintained no contracts with the Obama campaign or DNC"
One wonders then, why she appears on White House visitor logs 35 times, with 5 visits with the POTUS himself, since his election. Of course, the WH visitor logs aren't 100% accurate (as has been cited in various 'blogs), but with the sheer number of visits involved, it's probably safe to assume she's spent a fair bit of time there.
On the face of it, it looks like it's the Obama camp that's being less than honest in this silly-season.
Pro individual: I would hardly call Romney a Kenyesian believer! Only Berrie!
Hardly a compatible comparison, lol!
Much to my chagrin - what Hillary Rosen said was SPOT ON!
Ann Romney is out of TOUCH & if she can't handle the heat, I would suggest she exit the kitchen!
Article states these people have "thin ties" to their candidate. Hilary Rosen is a consultant for team Obama, yea that's really a "thin tie." MSNBC has thrown her under the bus after her ignorant comments & the creation of "Mommy Wars" the same way her own party has. Too Funny!!
I'm boycotting any sponsor of our local radio station until they stop playing Ted Nugent. The Dixie Chicks were almost driven out of country music because they said they wished Bush wasn't from their home state of Texas and yet Nugent can threaten the life of the President of the United States and NOT ONE PERSON ON THE RIGHT WILL CONDEMN HIM FOR HIS COMMENTS? What the hell is this country coming to, Nugent belongs in prison with the rest of the TERRORISTS!
I still can't understand why the right wing proponents keep showing up on this so-called left wing news agency? If MSNBC is so left wing, why do you right wingers keep commenting on this blog? Isn't there sufficient news on your right wing channels to keep you satisfied? Doesn't Fox News post any on-line news articles for you to get your fill? OR, is that the only news worth commenting about comes from the so called left wing media?
Well, I do browse all the channels. I like to get all sides and evaluate the points of view. Yesterday, while listening to MSNBC and FOX News, I came upon the FOX News show called "The Five." The on-going discussion involved comedians and their obsession with making fun of the republican candidates. The short guy (looks like a mole) just could not understand why comedians don't parody Obama all that much, while they continually pick on Romney, Santorum, Cain, Palin, Bachmann, Perry, and Paul. What struck me as rather sad was the way this "mole" looking commentator came across. He seemed like a little boy who gets picked on all the time and would like someone to come to his aid -- he really came across as a lost little boy. I thought that for a moment, he would burst out into tears. Anyway, their conclusion was that all these comedians are left wing radicals.
Their short sided conclusion doesn't take into account that comedians will take advantage of anything stupid done by politicians. Jimmy Carter was a prime target of comedians, so was Ronald Ragen, and the biggest target of comedians was "Slick Willie" aka, Bill Clinton. But, let's focus on now. The reason why comedians are so enamored with the republican politicians is because they're funnier than a three ring circus. These characters are causing many of the comedy writers to be laid off. Comedians don't need anyone to write jokes. They simply listen to the next set of idiotic comments coming out of the mouths of the Republican elite and they have more material than any writer could possibly come up with. Let's see: Paul Revere rode off to warn the British.... Russia will soon get nuclear weapons.....I'm not a lobbyist..... I took a dead fetus home to teach the rest of my kids.... Family is sacred, but I can fool around while my wife dies of cancer.... Obamacare is doom-n-gloom, but my health care bill was different.... A woman should be allowed to choose to stay at home or to work outside the home, but if you're a poor woman, you need to get out of the house and get a job..... I respect women and love my wife, and four or five other women who work for me..... We want smaller Government, but don't mind passing over 300 laws restricting a woman's ability to control her own body..... I’m pro choice, er no, I’m pro life, er…… etc., etc., etc.
The republican primary race has been better than anything Ringling Brothers/Barnum Bailey could possibly have come up with. Comedians have enough material to last several decades.
Don't care who you are or what political persuasion, joking about, encouraging, or even hinting at the killing of a president, any president, is wrong wrong and wrong. Nothing to defend and ALL AMERICANS should be able to agree on that.
Nugent is a gun activist. He like many, know how Obama has walked all over the constitution. Abolishing our second amendment rights is on the 2nd term agenda for dear leader. This is why gun sales & gun stocks are booming, & have been booming since Barry took office.
Obama’s anti-gun record as state lawmaker:
When Obama was running for the Illinois state senate in 1996, the Independent Voters of Illinois, a Chicago-based non-profit, issued a questionnaire asking if candidates supported legislation to “ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns,” to “ban assault weapons” and to instate “mandatory waiting periods and background checks” for gun purchases. Obama answered YES on all three accounts.
Either way Obama or Romney we are screwed for four more years. I was really hoping that a New actual Potential Candidate would show up with the Republicans. But they don't have one I guess. Hell Ron Paul is more republican than Romney. Or at least in a financial way. Which is what matters most right now. Mitt and Obama are going to spend us into a third world country.
Here is the choice
Obama = social spending
Mitt = Corporate handouts and Tax breaks for big Pharma.
Both parties are one in the same the middle class was sold out by REAGAN to fund Star Wars. Pensions went away for most and the IRA and self investing was made to finish it off. Most middle class people have no idea what investing is. Just saving and saving does not cut it now.
And yet both parties continue to have rabid supporters - what does that say about voters?
It won't be soon enough for these two anti American parties to swallow the last bites as they devourer each other.
I just called the local walmart and talked to the manager and told him I was boycotting the store until all Nugent CD's, DVD's, posters, etc are pulled from the shelf, he said I was not the first person to call so he was going to check with corporate. The way to shut the terrorists up is to defund them. Does Nugent get any sort of grants or government loans? does he owe back taxes? are all his licenses and permits on everything he owns up to date? Find some reason to put this piece of trash behind bars where he belongs, let him get date raped by his cellmate for the next 20 years and see if his mouth is still as loud then. Nugent is calling for violence against the President and members of his administration, he needs to have his bank accounts frozen, his assets seized and he needs to be sent to Guantanamo Bay with the rest of the terrorists. I am sick to death of these loud mouth, no nothing, hypnotized idiots saying and doing things that any liberal would have been hung for saying during the Bush administration.
You watch, if Romney wins I promise you he will crack down on anyone who even remotely disagrees with the rightwing social engineering project they have instore for this country. Read up on what the right wing fanatics did in Central and South America during the 60's, 70's and 80's, the lucky liberals where shot in the head and dumped into mass graves.
Agreed drainbramage agreed
Some things never change with most of you posting here... Most are still ignorant and arrogant ~ a lot like Mitt Romney ~ he and Ann feel 'it is his turn' in 2012! Since when did the election of a United States President become an entitlement???
Nugent is a washed up Rocker who is wayyyyyy past his expiration date, He takes Geritol and Viagra to stay awake and get it on. He has NO Clue what it is to be an American Citizen. If he doesnt like something he says kill it like Joseph Stalin did in the 40s - 50s. In America it is called DEMOCRACY if your side loses you dont shout out KILL somebody. JESUS I am so done and Turned off by the GOTP. I gotta go throw up
Ah yes. I love seeing a lefty EMBRACE the FREE CAPITAL markets.
Of course I'm sure they already called HBO and have organized a similar effort regarding Bill Maher. Who we'd all agree has said much WORSE and PERSONAL things then Ted ever did.
Because liberals aren't hypocrites....are they (sarcasm)?
They have Walmarts & radio stations in Wyoming? Wow...the things you learn here on first read. LOL!
I'm laughing at the idea that liberals/Democrats are outraged at Nugent's comments when liberal/Democratic filmakers created a movie and released it about how assassinating a sitting U.S. president would change current events during GWB's years and NO ONE repudiated that....in fact, it was largely embraced by the liberal community.
f'g hypocrites
When people ask for change what do they mean? Does it mean that we ax our social programs and do the GOP thing and hand our country completely over to BIG BIZ? We finally get some kind of a better start with affordable care but that gets all misconstrued. What sort of change would people actually agree to? The american people amaze me...if you had the sort of change you wanted, would you even know it? This country and the people in it dont seem to know what they want. All that is really known is thaty the government of the people doesnt really belong to the people of this country and your politicians have you all messed up in the head because they know a tv commercial that can lie to you can swing your vote to them. Good luck america..looks like that benjamine franklin quote about keeping your republic a republic is what is really at stake in november. I have a great deal of respect for generations before this one who stood up and fought for everything that you have today and its very difficult to watch all of you quibble over everything but what is important. Its a damn shame!
Ted Nugent is gaming the system and is getting huge farm subsidies to boot..thanks to the american people...ofcourse he wants the GOP in office so he can keep it business as usual. Some of you would be surprised to know about these subsidies a lot of these famous people are getting via the american people's pockert book. There is no more blood in the turnip of the american people to squeeze out of! We need people in congress that want a nation to rise to the top again and stop the auction of all our future generations..some politicians that believe in the people of this country and corporations to stop spending millions upon millions to figure out how to keep us in debt and paying lower wages..sweet jesus..its time the main shareholders of this country( THE PEOPLE) unite and make some changes in OUR government already or it will get harder and harder to do.
If Obama had a son would he be just like Nugent? ...Nah, bad thought. Nugent don't have big enough ears.
Another thing i know, the GOP got what they wanted...they created this narrative from the beginning of Obama's first day in office of dividing the american people. They started with the african americans, then latinos and ofcourse bashed women,they have stayed true to course and have created this racial division thing and this "if we cant have it then we will take it by force narrative". What of anything did the GOP do to talk about the real issues of getting our country back economically? NOTHING! They have so far successfully caused a lot of chaos with NO ansewrs except privatize the whole country so they and their richest buddies can control everything..if it looks,smells and acts like a rat then lets call it what it is..A RAT! And its a stinking smelly SEWER RAT!
dear justified: just to educate you a little. wyoming was the first state in the nation to give women the vote. it was the first state to have a woman governor. the nickname of the state is ' the equality state.' having said that, i am saddened that my home state has gone down the right wing rabbit hole in recent years. i was once so proud to be from wyoming, now i say it and then quickly add i haven't lived there for some time. too bad, it's a beautiful state and a great place to live(if you love open spaces, snow, beautiful skies, snow and wind, prairies, snow, wind and more wind...) i wish the people there would reread their motto and come back to being the proud people they once were.
The author of this article is biased or stupid. They pretend like it is just the DNC trying to desperately to link Nugent to Romney, but they are doing the same thing. I didn't see anything about Obama and Bill Maher and the million dollars he gave to the PAC Obama told him to donate to support the Obama Socialist re-election campaign. Do we have any real journalists at MSNBC? Or are they all just political activists? Or are they too stupid to have any clue what is going on in the world.......is it not their job to know? The truth is they know they will only fool those that are stupid. And that is why Obama lies, to fool those that are not smart enough to realize it, and MSNBC helps cover up his lies by lying to you also or distracting you from the real issue.
Dear alessa, it was a joke, you should take the chip off your shoulder. It's people like you that have "Buy American" bumper stickers on the backs of their Chinese import that need the education.
So republicans are trying to pass thousands of bills against women and republicans find no outrage on the real war on women. Some lady points out the fact Ann Romney because of her wealth has never had to worry about bills, healthcare, if there is enough food to put on the table, never had to wear hand me downs or worry about how to pay for school clothes, glasses, braces, dental etc and the republiconns find rage in that comment. What a bunch of phonies! Let me know when Mitt gets down on his luck where all they have to feed the family are beans and wienies, til then she is not like 99% of the rest of the REAL women in the U.S. She is a one percenter, rich and phoney to the bone.
or a big enough d--k.
Ted should have lived during the Eisenhower years. The firing squad would have been happy to obliege him. I hope hes wearing a bulletproof vest. Live by the gun, die by the gun. He isn't the only nut out there He don't have a legal claim on that.
I must have missed it. I didn't hear mrs romney say she raised those kids without a nanny because she couldn't afford it. That goes along with the car elevator. C'mon we all know how she raised those kids. I bet she never cleaned the kitchen or done the dishes by hand either.
Yo-Ho
Good Grief....
Justified defiance is justified delusional.....He writes" He like many, know how Obama has walked all over the constitution. Abolishing our second amendment rights is on the 2nd term agenda for dear leader. This is why gun sales & gun stocks are booming, & have been booming since Barry took office."
NRA and gun and ammo dealers are preying on guys like you to buy more guns and ammo because they know people suffering from small penis syndrom buy more and more guns to compensate for their deficiency in their manhood. There is no plan whatsover to change the second amendment to the constitution and as usual Mr Delusional provides no facts. Blaming your shortcomings on President Obama is pretty funny! Live in fear, buy more guns....what a sucker. By the way, Nugent is still alive???Thought he died in the bathroom years ago with Elvis!
Ralph,
Your comment borders on stupid. A firing squad for what I hear come out of the Democrats camp every day, if this was the case then start firing because I would happily sacrifice one person if he takes all the trash with him. Good by Obama, Good By Pelosi, and take all your friends on MSNBC along with you. As a matter of fact get rid of everyone from both parties and bring in a bunch of independents, they could in no way make things worse then they are now!
Tbenton
You should have stopped there.
@ralph
Mrs. Romney didn't have a car elevator when the boys were young. She had MS and cancer. They lived in a $65 / month rental apartment. I doubt that a $65 / month apartment even has a dishwasher, let alone a maid to operate it. The car elevator came along after Mitt was successful, made some good investments, and began reaping the benefits of his labor. Please check the facts.
Yep, Mr. Obama and his supporters (Hilary Rosen, Ed Shultz, and Bill Maher who are the spokespersons for the Democratic party) will dig up some more controversial "stuff" to campaign on since Mr. Obama's Domestic and International policies have failed.
Anybody but Obama 2012, and a Democratic nominee of Frankie Barney would do just as good of a job.
Being from Michigan. I hope Ted is arrested. Of course he is a Texan now. and the secret service will have to take a army to get him out of Texas. It will look like Waco again. But Terrible ted should be jailed for many years or be killed resisting arrest. I would like to where this bastard was when Bush and the Supreme gave the Election to Little Bush. Obama was elected president free and fair and that is all there is to it. Jail or kill Ted N.
Only Mitt Romney http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDlhRzRumb4&feature=related

Better watch out. I posted Mr. Obama's FAILED programs with links (some of them from MSNBC) and was terminated for a week because it was considrered SPAM.
The Liberals cannot handle the TRUTH.
Why is any of this news?
Kevin Bacon. Who is he?
Uhmmm.... I think Kevin Bacon is a famous Muslim.
Let's talk about something REAL like "TAX REFORM"?? Why is the so-called "Norquist Pledge" never mentioned?? The "signers"; 41 Senators & 238 Congressmen, (Plus Mitt & Newt) are holding the Country's Lawmaking Gridlock hostage, to Norquist's (#1 lobbyist for the Pipeline) approval. That's almost Treason?? For "TRUE TAX REFORM": just "AX THE TAX CODE": with its $$1.1TRILLION in "breaks", Plus IT allows 45% to pay NOTHING?? THERE IS YOUR "DEFICIT"??
@ldo
Thanks for the heads up, but I can handle a little left wing discrimination. If they give me a "sentence", I'll come back with a different name. I have 17 that I can use if needed. I can keep posting the truth because I'll use another name and another until my termination is up. They won't be able to stop the truth anyway. Even if they close their websites to all of my screen names, someone will pick up the ball for truth, right?
Ido: I did that too. And MSNBC suddenly kept deleting my posts( not collapsing- deleting). So tell me again how MSNBC is supposed to be a fair news organization?
Hey Chuck 2111043 I would pay you good for you to go get Ted out of Texas. Why someone like you from Michigan should have no problem. You may need the NBP to help you though. You could invite Obama, Holder, and the other Muslim members of the Black Panthers.
BTW Obama was elected by sheeple in 2008 but I did not nor ever will I. He has proven what he is willing to do to destroy this country.
This whole article is a crock of you-know-what. Romney has proven time and again that he wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him in the face. All of this equivalency is also hogwash. We're not too concerned about all that crap Nugent says. He's probably been paid a goodly sum to act out some Rambo scenario in his twisted mind. I wonder who he thinks is going to pay his legal fees if he keeps up his madness? Here's hoping he will get a nice visit from some well known folk because his idiocy threateneed half of the present government. Cowards always speak with bravado and cry like two-year-olds when they meet real men.
Please don't give him to Texas. We already have a bevy of crazies, much of whom are in our state lege and a bunch of clowns and yahoos in Washington. He's called the Motor City Mad Man. Ya'll can keep his crazy ass.
I'm sooooo tired of this devisivness!!
We really should be ashamed of ourselves!!
I really don't care about a lot of this other drivel, so on to Ted Nugent, the Motor City Nutcase. For all those defending him, I leave you with a selection of the Nuge's quotes from the year 2000 and prior..... Yes I said the year 2000. If you are sticking up for Ted about halfway through here, you need to be ashamed of yourself... left or right. Please pay particular attention to the "On Other People" section and the "On Military Service" section.
http://www.nocompromise.org/news/000731c.html
As a Vietnam Vet, I remember that when Ted was in the Amboy Dukes, he sure WAS anti-war. But that was when HIS ass was on the line. Nugent is just another yellow-bellied Chickenhawk Fascist, no more no less.
Fiesty said..
At least you have the guts to say what you believe I suppose.
Why? I don't agree with Ted on many things. In fact I don't really care what famous ppl say about their political beliefs. BUT...Ted and I share one view; Obama MUST go bc he's been a complete failure.
Yo Ho or Ho Hum
"I still can't understand why the right wing proponents keep showing up on this so-called left wing news agency? If MSNBC is so left wing, why do you right wingers keep commenting on this blog? Isn't there sufficient news on your right wing channels to keep you satisfied? Doesn't Fox News post any on-line news articles for you to get your fill? OR, is that the only news worth commenting about comes from the so called left wing media?"
No, this isn't it. We right wingers keep trying to show you the way. Lead you out of darkness. You emotional feely type left wing brain dead folks aren't capable of analyzing facts. The fact is: Obama is a commie and thank God Romney isn't a commie. Look at Obmama's rise to power. The facts are there!
Romney for 2012.
why would we want to go there? everybody already agrees with us.
and Ted Nugent is not running for office. he can throw all of the darts he wants.
Mr. Nugent represents himself. if you ask him he will tell you the same.
and WHEN Romney is elected if he does not do a good job Mr. Nugent will be all over him also.
Ted Nugent is not a Republican or a Democrat.
he is a PROUD AMERICAN.
and unlike those in the whitehouse now he has always been proud to be an American.
even when they have boneheads in office like this administration.
I don't really care if old Ted is dead or in jail or dead and in jail. I think of him as a right wing nut job. Why is anyone giving him so much undeserved attention.
because he is smarter than the average liberal on this site.
This analysis is just another air brushing of the T'republicondinos warts by trying to say that the dems also do this so.... or both sides do it or trying to do the old transferrance thing.
Is Kevin Bacon in politics? What office is he stumping for? If not why is he mentioned in the piece?
What is with this attempt to downplay the ignorant statements that that Nugent guy made? This is not the first ignorant statement re violence that Nugent has made and maybe he may not do anything untoward himself but his violent rhetoric may cause some other idiot to try to do something foolish or stupid.
Romney accepted Nugent's endorsement, so how is it that Nugent and his violence spewing baggage is not all that important to Romney now? Doesn't Nugent speak from his position as being on the NRA board or having a high position in the NRA organization if I am not mistaken? Isn't Romney trying to get those NRA members and people who are into guns to vote for him?
Enough of the airbrushing and hoping to make the yet another threat of violence against the President by Nugent go away or make it seem less important, because all it takes is one stupid person with a weapon to act out Nugent's fantasy to bring about a problem.
The Secret Service is indeed looking into Nugent's threat of violence. They have not said it was simply Nugent blowing hot air so far. Even a wimp can get courageous once in a while.
What Nugent said was vile. Instead of trying to downplay what he is saying he should be called out on his violent rhetoric period and told to put a cork in it imo. But alas that will not be done by anyone in the Romney campaign - including that Romney son who was happy to tell the world about his dad picking up the Nugent endorsement- anytime soon.
Ms Rosen's statement did not rise to the Nugent level of vitriol or even in the ballpark of Nugent's repeated violent statements regarding the President. Plus the difference with Ms Rosen's statement was that it has truth in it from the look of things.
Stay at home moms in Mrs Romney social circle and for other rich women may be viewed as working in the home, yet that is not how other stay at home moms are viewed if they are poor.
Didn't Mr Romney indicate that those poor moms receiving public assistance should be required to go to work outside the home- even if it costs the state/govt more money to provide daycare/childcare services for these poor women's children? - Perhaps even more than the poor moms could earn to boot.
It seems that the poor or the not rich women who are stay at home moms are not viewed as working in the home then by Romney, doesn't it? If you are a poor stay at home mom you are not working in the home rather the poor mom is just lazy and do not want to work. In otherwords, the working at home mom caring for her children title is dependent on her financial circumstances it seems.
Anyhoo, it is doubtful that Mrs R was busy doing the house work, cleaning floors, cooking meals, making beds, cleaning the bathrooms and scrubbing the toilets, caring for the sick relatives/parents/children and all the various jobs that women (stay at home moms) who cannot afford to pay for housekeepers, cooks , gardners, drivers, nannies, nurses etc... - you know the full compliment of household staff for their various abodes, do every day.
What Nugent said was wrong, ignorant, stupid and assinine period imo. Ms Rosen was not advocating violence period imo. Therein lies the difference. So it is not the same, like the writer of the article is trying to suggest imo. Not all politics is the same politic and not all rhetoric have the same level of intensity either imo.
Enough with the unequal comparisons already....
Peace... just say no to violence - the act and the rhetoric... no matter from whom...
Congratulations America. You all are getting spoon feed the same ol sh*t as always from both sides. Either learn to be free thinkers or keep eating. They count on people never catching on.
Exactly. There is no comparison between Rush Limbaugh and Bill Maher, no comparison between the War on Women and a war on mommies (or war on Christmas or war on religion), and NO comparison between Hilary Rosen and Ted Nugent. Ted (and Mel Gibson) are mental and have become dangerous.
But what really struck me was the crowd listening to Ted Nugent at the NRA convention. Wow, all you'd have to do is throw white sheets over those guys and one realizes they are the same POS morons who joined the KKK.
Enough with worshiping at the Alter of Fear and Hate, enough of desperation like this when the far-Right feels they aren't getting their way through democratic process (though they are still at the gerrymandering, voter suppression, delegate count rules, misinformation and intimidation, etc.). If you lose elections, maybe it's time to do some reflection.
Obama/Biden - 2012!
Raider-4158022.... You think Obama is a failure even all the facts says he is not...or because all you can see is his COLOR? You better find another country to live coz... this President will be your President for the next 4 years!!!
If any of you are familiar with the band Phish, you know they are well known for their covers of other bands. In a cover of Smoke On The Water they talk about how Smoke On The Water and Cat Scratch Fever are the same song (as they inter-twine the two). Since Smoke On The Water came first - guess who that makes the rip-off?
I own over 1000 CD's, LP's, and cassettes, not to mention so many Itunes that my puter is over loaded. With all that music, I can only think of one Ted Nugent LP that I ever owned - and I can only think of one song he did - Cat Scratch Fever. I know the old CRS is creeping in, but you would think I could remember more than one song he did... and they wonder why he isn't in the Rock Hall of Fame... lol.
Oh, wait, I just remembered another song; Strangle Hold... I can name more Monkees songs... HAAAA!
Boo-hoo-hoo. I feel so bad for President Devisive. Obama, his propagandists, and his mindless minions are the masters of hate-filled, incendiary comments about wittle Barry's political rivals. But they can't take it when they are on the recieving end. Well, Hypocrisy is the defining characteristic of the left.
Cut off their heads? Get him out before this country becomes Indonesia? They are going to kill or jail him? Nugent sounds as if he is another Anders Behring Breivik in the making.
Hey all of you - you Remember The Spice Girls - sent into oblivion when they dared to question "THE DECIDER" why not send Ted Nugent into oblivion?
Oh I know the big Republican Machine is Supporting him- hypocrites - yes sir big machines really work especially when the Republican party has Faux News behind them covering their big butts, oh did I forget to say big "white" butts
All of Feisty Readhead's comments have been collapsed or deleted. My work here is done.
Good night....
Go ahead and colapse me again, (2.10 & 2.40). I'll be back to re-post this again and again.
THE TRUTH HURTS YOUR CAUSE, RIGHT?
Let's see ..... Obamacare, GSA scandal, Secret Service scandal, 23 other Federal department investigations, Fast & Furious, Higher taxes, High unemployment, No Federal Budget, Under-the-table deals, Suing states for enforcing Federal laws, SCOTUS, Gas prices more that doubled, Solyndra, More regulations, Black Panther voter intimidation, No Keystone pipeline, Massive deficit spending, Over 5 trillion added to the national debt, No plan for anything except the "Buffet Rule", Speech after speech with no follow-through, and on & on & on.
Is this the direction our country should be heading? Aren’t we better than that?
62mga,
Never let reality encroach on a good narrative. The only thing you got right about the Romney's was the apartment other than that its a nice story but untrue. The basement apartment while they were in college and married cost $62.00 they chose it they could have lived any damn place they wanted. At age 18 Mitt came into $60k worth of American Motors stock which he could draw on for expenses. Both were from wealthy families who paid for their educations and provided a living stipend. Before you get too weepy with the Old Log cabin tales her father was a millionaire and mayor of Bloomfield Hills Michigan an extremely wealthy Michigan City.She attended a private girls school the sister school to Mitt's school, did a semester abroad and her wedding was attended by Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon and I'm guessing they didn't get stiffed by too many of the 250 guests. His stock which he cashed for 60k equates to 377k in 2010 dollars. I personally don't know a single person who had 60k in 1970 plus the cash from the wedding plus whatever savings they entered with and myself and my friends were relatively affluent. As available cash that is much more than most of our parents had.
Upon Graduation George Romney loaned them the money to buy a house with payback upon resale. Meaning they were given a house worth 42k which they resold later for 90k making a 48k profit using none of their own money while living rent free for seven years.
As to Mrs Romney's physical problems she found out in 1998 that she had MS which is a tragedy at the time her youngest was 17 years old and yes for the majority of their upbringing Mrs Romney had at least 1 nanny plus household help which I have no problem with, I would do the same. She found out she had Ductal Carcinoma in Situ which is a non invasive cancer of the milk gland and had a lumpectomy to remove it. The survival rate is 96 -98% it sucks but it is not the type of treatment that removes one from the ability to raise children between the ages of 27 and 37. If her husband is elected he has pledged to work against funding of Planned Parenthood who provide 800,000 breast cancer screenings a year the same screening that led to the diagnosis of Mrs Romney's cancer. On top of that he wants to repeal health coverage for another 15-20 million women. Yeah I really feel terrible for the Romney's. She probably had it tough during her semester abroad in Grenoble.

62,
Again you make things up or wildly exaggerate. Taxes have gone down! Unless you got some super secret increase no one else did or you have the worst accountant in history taxes went down for virtually everyone. Give me a break with the black panthers two guy's in Philly from The New Black Panthers which has no association and has been denounced by the original Black Panther Organization. They cursed at voters and the one idiot had a billy club. They lasted about 45 minutes until 10:00 am when the Philly cops arrested them. This was the 1st time anyone in Philly ever heard of them they were so powerful they almost had 10 whole members. Gas and oil production is at its highest levels in 20 years the Keystone pipeline is being built just not yet on its Northern end for which a route is being reviewed. The GSA scandal was brought to light by Democrats and perhaps if Kit Bond hadn't put a hold on the nominee for two years until November 2010 the agency might have resembled the efficient one she headed under Clinton. Johnston returned to an unsupervised and understaffed agency and most of the excesses took place before Johnson was even sworn in. Unemployment is down since peaking in the Bush Crash and more jobs have been created in 3 years than in all 8 Bush years. Fast and Furious a Bush 2006 creation as Operation Gunrunner was a continued bad program not one created as seemingly is being inferred.
As to corruption so far they have been extremely clean. The Bush Administration ranks in the top 5 most corruption convictions, resignations and indictment but it will probably be impossible to top the Reagan record of 138 indictments and convictions. They are not suing states for federal law enforcement they are suing states for passing and enforcing unconstitutional state laws. The principle of State Nullification has been constantly defeated since the 1820s and was a prime reason for the Civil War. It is the responsibility of the Federal government to challenge state laws which run counter to Federal Statute.
JKH
@Jim Hayes,
I'm curious why you didn't speak to Obama's spending. Or did you just "forget" the fact that he's ruining us financially? Also...just a few points of clarity below;
A fact, Obama had nothing to do with. But nice try.
This is a first. Hearing someone GIVE Obama credit for rejecting the pipeline permit and putting off the decision till 2013. Okay, now you're grasping at straws.
Nice wording w/ "Bush Crash". Just to be clear....UE peaked after Obama had been in office almost 2 years (Summer 2010 I believe). AND REMAINS ABOVE 8% TODAY. Your attempt to use UE as a positive for Obama is laughable.
Not sure about that, however when you're LOSING more jobs then you're adding it doesn't matter. Today we are STILL on that cusp of Positive Vs Negative job growth. So don't celebrate just yet Obama fans.
Started under Bush and CONTINUED under Obama. AG Holder had ample time (up till July 2010) to fix/cancel this horrible program, BUT DIDN'T. Then Holder LIED to Congress about his knowledge of the program. A fact supported by multiple emails to/from Holder.
Raider,
Just saw your reply. It would take a semester of economics to attempt to explain basic Keynesian Economics and the bizzarre economics practiced by Reagan and Bush. Here is a shorthand version. Reaganomics as crafted by the Heritage Foundation tilts the economic playing field so that wealth can be redistributed to the smallest amount of interests to reinvest. Supposedly these investments will expand an economy so that growth occurs for all. This has never actually happened at any time in Western economic history. This was accomplished by halving top bracket taxation and making profit taking on the market a capital gain at 15%. This encourages short term profit taking and bubble creation it discourages long term capital investments in industry and research which create jobs. Reagan made things infinitely worse by doubling the size of government and tripling the National Debt beginning the debt spiral that was only checked under Clinton. Under the genius of Supply Side two three banking systems crashed, the S&L industry, Commercial Banking and finally retail banking. Along with that three separate market crashes and changes in the lending laws that ended Roosevelt Era financial restraints top bracket wealth exploded along with an explosion of debt for 90% of the nation. They also cycled in 5 recessions in 20 years of governance which triples the average recession spacing. The proper response to economic disaster is to open the government checkbook it has worked since the pharaoh's built pyramids or the Romans built roads. The problem with recovery this time is that instead of the traditional debt level we have always carried Obama was left with horrendous debt and a shaky credit rating. His response has been correct and we are in far better shape than the other economies who responded with draconian downsizing. His debt would be about half and the recovery further on if the House and Senate had not done everything humanly possible to make the recovery fail.
Gotta go I'll get back on the rest
Zathrose,
You and all who claim right or left are somewhat forgetful that the brain is in the center. Try utilizing that when figuring things out rather then how would the left or right hand handle it. Without the brain, the center, the left and right would just lay there limp, much like modern american politics so heavily stalled from switching hands to try and gain a better grip. Also, do try to remember when you all get a chance, that, infatically speaking, the center is the American People.
Raider,
Gas and oil production are primarily a function of the market but the sitting president i the one who is generally either blamed or given credit for anything to do with the fossil fuel industries.The permitting process has been reduced from 180 days to 60 in order to expediting the process. Opening more land has no immediate effect it is years before the land is touched the object needs to be alternative energy and he has made strides in an all of the above approach. The rest of the world is looking 50 years down the road when energy needs have doubled and a scarcity of supply means high prices while the right screams drill baby drill concerned as always with their on selfish needs and no thought to the greater need. His policies are not enough but he has the 1st comprehensive energy policy in US history. A return to GOP policies returns us to complete OPEC dependence with a second class future ahead.
As to the pipeline it will be carrying a grade of crude which will almost certainly be exported affecting our oil usage not one jot. The current route through Nebraska runs almost entirely through the regions aquifer which if contaminated could devastate farm production and cost hundreds of billions in damage in order to expedite the creation of about 20,000 jobs of which 13,000 go away when construction ends. The Chamber of Commerce propaganda machine claimed 250,000 which is total BS. TransCanada Corp who has the most to gain is firm and their hired consultants have arrived at the figure of 20,000 which they consider the high end figure. The pipeline is already started in Oklahoma and the Gulf and TransCanada just proposed a new route. Again a prudent approach instead of caving into another oil interest while creating the same number of jobs using a safer route seems to me like a reasoned response.
The Bush Crash occurred on September 29th 2008 3 1/2 months before Obamas oath of office immediately causing a single day loss of 1.2 trillion dollars. Virtually every IRA and retirement plan took a 35 to 40% loss triggering the greatest economic catastrophe since the Great Depression. The US Collapse triggered world market failures and sent an edgy world financial community into full panic mode. It was not an Obama State of the Union in which he heralded the triumph of his Ownership Society where every American could be a home buyer. Nor did Obama's Treasury Secretary or Fed Chairman speak to the safety of ARMs and associated exotic loan vehicles. The only thing Bush should get credit for is having the balls to get TARP through before the entire system imploded and he screwed that up by not building in oversight on the use of the funds. As to employment figures when Bush took office it stood at 3.9% he handed off at 7.8% and rising not one month in eight years was unemployment equal to when he took office. In 96 months in office the Bush economy was in recession for 22 he has the worst net job creation record in US recorded history with 1,300,000 total created with a private sector loss of 675,000 jobs and an increase of 1,700,000 government jobs. Unemployment peaked in October 2009 as republicans fought Obamas stimulus plan until final passage in Feb 2009 it took 3 months of infighting to begin the roll out and within a year jobs were being created every month including new manufacturing jobs for the first time in 10 years. We have had consistent job growth every month since. Obamas job creation has come entirely in the private sector with a net loss of 375,000 public sector jobs. Under Obama we have had 26 consecutive months of private sector job growth. Not bad for a Marxist Socialist. And we are not on the cusp of anything they are averaging 180,000 jobs per month a figure Bush lost 2.7 million while creating just over 2 million in 8 years this is the worst 8 year record in history.
Gotta go again.
I believe that we have two candidates who are intelligent, well educated but have very different views on how to lead our country back to prosperity. They both have intelligent, articulate wives and beautiful families. They both deserve our respect and their families deserve the same.
I am old enough to recall just about all of Nugent's life, music and carrying on.... He's always been a bully, and his music, aside from possibly 1 song, nothing to write about.... His comments alone should: a) have him smacked around by the Romney camp for this kinda crap; b) guarantee he will get either of his 2 wishes, dead or in jail.... What a damn drama queen....
I agree, one major difference is that one of those candidates wants you to believe that you are an elitist if you want your kid to go to college. That same candidate also wants to take away your right to use contraception and plan your own family. Not to mention that candidate is a habitual liar. I'm sorry but I can't give too much respect for someone that blatantly lies to me at every opportunity.
So you are moving to Norway when???
Do you really think this is not happening from ALL politicians ALL the time??
Are my children lying to me when they conveniently leave out a few but important details??
The Overlord, You have every right to support whoever you want. As a citizen I only wish the vitriol could be toned down. Then maybe as Americans we could tackle the tough issues facing us as a country.
Lisa S, what on earth is wrong with you?????
Stop making sense! These trolls don't want someone with a balanced sense of the world. They just want to blindly slam the other side of the aisle.
(But thanks for reminding me the entire world is NOT crazy!)
Well said. These are both families that Americans should be proud of, educated, hard working, successful. That said they are also both politicians and that, unfortunately brings out the worst in both.
thewordsmith, Thanks so much. I was beginning to think I was the crazy one.
overlord i think your getting romney confused with santorum who was defeated in the primary stages, lisa thank you for brightening my day by reminding me that even on web forums, which are usually troll town, there are still some reasonable well meaning people :)
MaineBound..you are right on about Ted Nugent..he has always been a bully and right wing nut and I DO mean NUT. He used to have a lot of talent but apparently has let his success turn him into a 1 %er. Lets hope he moves to Canada and stays.
Agreed - The hyperbole and spin and hate spewing pundits on both sides is why MOST Americans have given up and DON'T VOTE any more. It's time for the normal folks to take back control of the conversation. The tea party and the 99%ers are just 2 sides of the same crazy coin. MOST of us just want someone to do their freakin job and fix what's wrong but as soon as someone wins an election they spend the next 2, 4 or 6 years (depending on their office) campaigning and posturing for hte next election! Stop making "symbolic votes" on non-issues. Stop demanding apologies from the other side for what crazy nutjobs say when talking to other crazy nutjobs and get on with the buisness of GOVERNING.
What do we want in a Candidate? Candor, honor, courage and accountability.
Frankly we haven't seen those qualities in decades.
jackofspade, I still believe most Americans are reasonable. I know very many well meaning people.
@TheOverlord
So we should have no respect for you either then correct? Unless of course you can show us all proof of your fist two lines of BS. It was Santorum that made the snob comment and none of them have said they want to "take away your right to use contraceptive". What an utter load of BS.
As for the habitual liar, well I suppose you thought it was just a slip of the tongue when Obama said "hope AND change" when what he really meant to say was "you can hope FOR change". Well we sure were hoping but sadly our hopes were dashed.
overlord - As you do not wish to vote for some one who is dividing the country, believes you're an elitist if you wish to keep the wealth you earned so that YOUR family can benefit from it, and is a habitual liar, you must be voting Republican this time. WELCOME.....
Except one of them has just added 5 trillion in debt to our country....lied his butt off to the American people who he works for (millionaires need to pay their fair share while handing Jeffery imeld 3 million dollars for not paying any taxes). One will probably be a failure...the other one has proven he is a failure. Obama had my respect when I voted for him...he crapped on it..and now it is lost.
Stop lying....(lol) You never voted for the man. Good comedy.
Urban Cowboy - Talent? Ted Nugent has talent? He's a one-hit wonder and his hit wasn't even that good back in the 70's.
PinkMoore703 What talent do you have besides sitting behind a computer and whining about Nugent. Ted Nugent has said what many of us thnik. Ride into battle and cut off their heads in Nov. That is great and that is what we should be doing to all Dems and Liberals who think that this country is heading in the right direction. Give Me A Break!!!!!
Good post Lisa.
The extremist dirtbags will always slam those with a level head and kind comments.
Does anyone out there realize that the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" has nothing to do with Kevin Bacon? Why not Elizabeth Taylor, Meryl Streep, or Julie Andrews? Or Paul Newman, Cary Grant, or George Clooney? Why? It's because "Ke vin Ba con" not only rhymes with the word "se pa ra tion" but it also has the same cadence. In literary terms, both words scan the same, i.e. long stress, short stress, long stress, short stress. And "separation" is the most important word here, the KEY link to the real game, "Six Degrees of Separation" from the play so named. Listen to the cadence, listen to the rhyme. "six degrees of se pa ra tion" and 'six degrees of Ke vin Ba con," Perfect assonance (vowel sounds)...perfect cadence (rythym)...and perfect rhyme. Knowing all this, Six Degrees of John Wayne just doesn't cut it. The game would have been easier with the Duke (Katharine Hepburn even co-starred with him,) but it also would have been a lot less clever...
PinkMoore703, are you really that out of touch with reality? Nugent has 2X platinum sales in the US & Gold record sales in Canada. Not bad for a "one hit wonder"
Well, listen everybody
To what I got to say.
There's hope for tomorrow,
Ooh, we're workin' on today.
Well, it happened long ago,
In the new magic land
The Indian and the buffalo
They existed hand in hand
The Indian needed food,
He needed skins for a roof.
But he only took what they needed, baby
Millions of buffalo were the proof
Yeah, it's all right
But then came the white man,
With his thick and empty head.
He couldnt see past the billfold,
He wanted all the buffalo dead.
It was sad...It was sad.
The game has everything to do with Kevin Bacon.It's called that because Kevin Bacon commented(back in '94) that he had worked with everybody in Hollywood or someone who's worked with them.Therefor that was put to the test with the invention of the game.
Ted nugent has talent? I didn't even know he was in a band till it was pointed out on here. Is he in the hall of fame or hall of shame?
1.) Ted knows his Bacon, 2.) If presidents were made on pissing contests Ted would win!!!!,3.) theres money in Pissintics,OOOPS I mean Politics. 4.) why do major figures keep going to Teds house????,Probably because he knows his S*i* is bigger than common opinion!!!.
So you support Romney.. Talk about a wasted vote.. Listen to the Republican inside scoop.

The Nuge has rocked his ass off for over 40 years. I saw him and the Amboy Dukes in 1975 along with Nazareth & Deep Purple. Loudest concert I ever went to and my ears rang for 2 days. Tickets cost $6.00 to see 3 awesome bands.
At least Ted doesn't take government handouts like most of the lazy liberals.
No, Ted Nugent is just a pedophile draft dodger...Mitt Romney has nothing against draft dodgers or pedophile...after all Mitt Romney is a draft dodger too...any true Conservative should have pause went dealing with these two immoral men...they are both draft dodgers...
Mitt Romney puts people out of work and think there nothing wrong with wrecking the economy...he took ALL of his hard drives when he was Governor of Mass.....he did not want a trail...sound like another WATERGATE too me..Mitt's hiding ALL of his actions...Mitts NOT saying much about his time as GOVERNOR...Mitt created Obama care...and now he has proven once agan he will do anything including using poor judgement by asking Ted Nugent for his endorsement...what's next....as a Voter since 1976 I will not BACK Mitt he uses very poor judgement and is NOT a true statemen and he will not do what's right for the country.....
sherobes,
Nice talk, now please supply some proof.
I always know a politician is lying when their lips start moving!
Oh no, Romney gave a wink and a nod to Santorum when he made his comments and even tried to top him. The simple fact that Romney wants to plunder the Department of Education and HUD proves the point - he doesn't want middle class kids to go to college. By his own words that is fact. You can also type in the search bar on Youtube and see Romney agree with Santorum that contraception is immoral and that he is against it. I don't believe he actually is but of course like on every other subject Romney has no qualms about lying. The dog loved it up on the roof of the car and only @!$%# himself because he ate bad turkey. Yeah right, my dog has eaten dead bird, fish and varment carcasses and never defalcated all over the place. The dog loved it especially after I hosed it down and put it back up there for the next leg of the thousand mile trek. Please, the guy is a habitual liar and an extreme opportunist. Exactly the kind of person you would expect used to work as a vulture capitalist at Bain Capitol.
Stop pretending like this is a matter of both sides just being vitriolic. Only one side has obstructed the government over the last three years. Only one side chants and taunts the president of the US with charges that he is not a Christian, not an American, not patriotic, not legitimate and not even human. Only one side is completely married to the oil and other corporations. Only one side drove the economy off of a cliff and now clamors to do exactly the same thing again. Only one side threatens to hunt, shoot, hang and cut the head off of our president. Only one side wants to ban contraception and abortion all over again... see the difference?
Sorry, but this isn't just a choice between team blue or team red. It is a choice between continuing the democratic traditions of America or turning it over to the corporate fascists that already run this country. You may not like democrats speaking up and being vocal but you should get used to it because the wheels came off the Republican bus a long time ago and the crazy Teabag Party Governors across the country are implementing 16th century policies and their presidential candidate is a laughing stock even Republicans don't like. This contemporary Republican political agenda not only has to be resoundingly defeated but it has to be exposed for the historically virulent threat to democracy that it is.
I have to say though that I have nothing against Republicans, there is still time for you to wake up and vote for reason this November - Obama/Biden 2012... again.
Republican politics aside, more likely than not, it looks and sounds like Mr. Nugent is in serious need of medications...and yet, HE OWNS A SMALL ARSENAL. That is the scary part. He could start his own war. An aging performer, out of the limelight, with not bags under his eyes - but suitcases under his eyes, making a desperate attempt to remain in the news - trying to sound tough. He just looks and sounds pathetic.
I agree Whistkeberries, his attitude reminds me so much of Anders Behring Breivik.
The thing that bothers me about Romney was his statement that "Corporates are people too". He also ingnored the peoples questions about Social Security.
I loved reading this thread; I know, I must be sick, but I've been sitting here laughing to myself. I love how it starts out with a plea for civility, slides into an argument over some B list musician's career, turns into a discussion on rythym and cadence, ends with a reference to Anders Behring Breivik!
And it all makes sense! It's like listening to America talking in it's sleep.
Go ahead and colapse me again, (2.10 & 2.40). I'll be back to re-post this again and again.
THE TRUTH HURTS YOUR CAUSE, RIGHT?
Let's see ..... Obamacare, GSA scandal, Secret Service scandal, 23 other Federal department investigations, Fast & Furious, Higher taxes, High unemployment, No Federal Budget, Under-the-table deals, Suing states for enforcing Federal laws, SCOTUS, Gas prices more that doubled, Solyndra, More regulations, Black Panther voter intimidation, No Keystone pipeline, Massive deficit spending, Over 5 trillion added to the national debt, No plan for anything except the "Buffet Rule", Speech after speech with no follow-through, and on & on & on.
Is this the direction our country should be heading? Aren’t we better than that?
And to this day there are people who believe Cheney deserved to die rather than get his heart transplant and that bush was a war criminal. So no i dont see any difference, all I can see is ideologues arguing like 7 year olds and then having the nerve to pretend they are somehow dignified. And the evidence of this is the sheer number of people who have just turned off from politics because of how nasty it is. There were higher voter turnouts in Iraq, with insurgents threatening to attack the polling places in their first election than there have been in America for decades! Because over here we dont need to be intimidated into not voting.

"...comedian Bill Maher, who used colorful language in reference to both Ann Romney and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin."
"Colorful" language? Why not come out and say Maher called Palin a "cun*' and a twa*" ?
Hey BIV are you old enough to know who Don Rickles is, have you ever seen his act, please both men are by trade comedians, it is there job to be extreme for laughs. Stop taking everything a comedians says as gosphel fact they are getting paid to do it.
Now the Republican faux outrage is aimed at comedians! Now that IS funny!
Is Bill Maher really a comedian? Aren't comedians supposed to be funny?

"...comedian Bill Maher, who used colorful language in reference to both Ann Romney and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin."
"Colorful" language? Why not come out and say Maher called Palin a "cun*' and a twa*" ?
Why not? Fox Noise's president Roger Ailes thinks Sarah Palin 'is an idiot'.
For Ailes, Tucson was a turning point, suggesting an end to the silly season that had lasted most of Obama’s term as president and that Ailes had promoted and profited from.
Personally, I agree with both Bill Maher and Roger Ailes.

Is Bill Maher really a comedian? Aren't comedians supposed to be funny?
Sniff1,
Bill Maher is a comedian and funny. Sarah Palin is pathetic and funny.
Of course, you being the stiff you are, funny couldn't enter your bizzaro world.
Maher's comments should be taken with the exact same gravity as Rush Limbaugh or Dennis Miller.
Mike I would disagree with you on Rush Limbug he is not a comedian in any form. Both Bill Maher and Dennis Miller have performed on stage as comedians while Rush has just performed circus acts.
Oh the two FOXFaux girls are so funny it's amazing.
How can two old, stale, grey girls get so confused in life?
Could be that Bill Maher was actually referring to Sarah Palins daughter
The chubby slutty one
Is this supposed to be a presidential election? Or is this recess for pre-schoolers? Either way, both campaigns look ridiculous
No, he's really not funny. His humor is something a high school kid could make up. Have you even seen his train wreck monologues?
He hasn't been funny since his movie...and before that, since Politically Incorrect.
Bottom line.... a "criminal" will get elected in November...!!!
Then when 2016 gets here... you can complain about how things are worse than they were now, and..."again"... you can go take your precious little silly ..."vote"... and elect someone else that you will bend over for, and see if it feels any better...!
If not... just repeat what you did the previous time... and keep doing it every four years until you get the one in office that you can feel good about dropping your pants and taking it up the rear for...!
Remember now... the secret is... "Keep doing it and expect a different result"... it's your "duty" as Americans...!!!
Bill Maher is merely hiding his vitriolic comments behind the guise of being a comedian. His $1 million contribution to Obamasays he is much heavier into his political leanings than he is to his reaaly weak, comedic attempts.
But hey, after his "comedy" runs dry, he could be the poster boy for Preparation H ...... seriously, they have a lot in common. Preparation H is used to soothe flaming a$$holes, while Bill Maher IS a flaming a$$hole .... but he uses the Preparation H to slick back his hair !
Oh Dear!
All of this poutrage over Bill Maher's contribution to the Obama Super-Pac!
Oh... the HORROR!
Meanwhile, not a peep out of any of you about the anonymous donor who just shelled over $10 million to Karl Rove's Super-Pac...
We don't even know if the cash came from an American while people are having a hissy fit over a comedian!
Talk about double standards & screwed up priorities...
Good Grief!
seriously Jim, Bill Maher puts more truth into one episode of his comedy than you've told in a lifetime. He really isn't geared up to entertain folks of your intellectual caliber
@Tis the Season
Bill Mahr has been a political pundit for a very long time. Perhaps you recall he once had a show called Politically Incorrect" and a 5 minute rant that few find humorous followed by 50 minutes of bitching and whining about republicans hardly classifies his new show as comedy. If people are going to excuse his BS just because he's a "has been" comedian then I don't see how on Earth they can bitch about what a "has been" rock star has to say.
I just love the diversion.. .
Let's try Sixth Degrees of Separation from Obama-
Martha Johnson was the Obama appointee to run the GSA- so is responsible for all the waste, abuse, and fraud at that agency. Oops. No six degrees- direct link.
However, Jeff Neely- the guy who took the Fifth at a congressional hearing the other day, and did not bother to show up today, reported to Martha Johnson, Obama appointee. Neely was the guy who planned and executed the Las Vegas conference that cost taxpayers over $800,000, for which he was awarded a performance bonus, by Martha Johnson. Johnson put Neely on administrative leave- which means he is still drawing a paycheck from the taxpayers. So, he's two degrees from Obama.
Mike Roberston, current GSA Chief of Staff, was a Senate Aide to Obama- so that's a direct link. In May of 2011, Robertson told Kimberly Harris, Deputy Assistan AND Deputy Counsel to Obama, that there was an IG report coming down- and it would be highly negative, not to mention embarassing. Let's figure that a deputy reports to a chief, so I guess you'd call Harris two steps removed.
In any event, Obama is responsible, through his appointees, for the waste, fraud, and abuse at the GSA.
This, of course, is why NBC pretends the story does not exist.
as for mr. nu(nut)gent.
let's all hope he's dead by this time next year...
words from his own racist mouth..
Dumb FUX -- Has a law been broken by the SuperPac donation or are you just having a Hissy Fit because they did not consult you before making the contribution.
No Joe, Neely gets his position during the Bush administration in 2003, when he joined the Senior Executive Service and was appointed assistant regional administrator for GSA's Public Buildings Service in San Francisco. Martha Johnson is the one who revealed what was going on when she took over and has already done a mea culpa, and stepped down.
Bush's golden boy Brownie, so thouroughly trashed FEMA that all professionals who knew how to handle disasters left. and then their was that department in Denver, responsible for oil and minerals leases, that took cocaine and partied with the oil and gas companies they were supposed to regulate. Gee, that was under Bush as well, wasn't it.
8 years of mediocre to incompetent hiring in government during the Bush years will take awhile to clean up.
Uh, Jon? You do know when the excellent Las Vegas Adventure took place, right?
2010.
Bush was loooong gone.
One of the signs of intelligence is owning your mistakes- something Obama cannot seem to pull off.
He's also geographically challenged, it seems.
Wants to give the Maldives to the Argentinians, when it is the Falklands, which they call the Malvenas, that they are still griping about.
I guess he'll blame that on Bush, too. Or maybe Reagan. Or Thatcher.
Anybody but himself.
It is faux outrage by the Republicans....we happen to be for free speech for everyone, we are just ticked off that the Democrats (liberal/progressive ones) believe it is only for them. As far as Obama, I'd rather be dead than have him for another 4 years. I don't, however, blame Obama, I blame the 50+ million idiots that would vote for him a second time. I say second only because I once believe Jimmy Carter when he looked me in the eye and said no more deficit spending. Fool me once....
Saying Bill Maher is a comedian is a stretch. He is rarely funny and is a shill for the liberal left.
He is also mysoginistic douchebag IMO.
Jon, Your remark is nothing but left wing bull sh!t. Blame Bush, nothing is Obama's fault. The dimwit that Obama appointed to head the GSA tried to cover the facts up. Why do you think she talked to the WH for a couple of weeks and would still be covering up if the incident hadn't been made public. Maybe Obama should vet his appointees better, it is definitely clear Martha Johnson was not capable of being the head of GSA.
Bill Maher is the left's pandering rhetoric equivalent of Rush Limbaugh....only Rush has a better vocabulary.
Excusing Maher's outrageously insulting demeaning of women as "comedy" is an indictment of his advocates' personal ethos in and of itself.
The whole political machine is a complete mess. Let's not hear what they actually intend to do for our country, let's instead see who can slander their opponent the most effectively. Since when do Americans have to be so damned afraid to speak their mind? I think both candidates are idiots with agendas that have nothing to do with what's best for America or Americans. It's not a best choice of the two, it's a complete lack of options. The piece of crap in office hasn't done a single thing he promised 4 years ago, which is not suprising, none of them ever do. They just shout anything they think think the majority want to hear. You won't hear them actually take a stand on anything vital because half the country might hate them and not vote for them. That would be Romney for the last I don't know how many years, nothing but a wishy-washy fence riding hack who's whole personality is like cotton. Completely unoffensive. Which is offending. America used to be a country that stood up for itself and what we believe and I think we're losing ourselves. I can't believe this country has become such a chicken-sh*#, backstabbing, "politically correct" bunch of pansies. In case none of you realize this though, all this grandstanding, political shouting, and blowing everything out of proportion is just to keep people from seeing the real picture, the real agenda that our political appointees are aiming for. I'm just a Yankee, that speaks my mind, I don't pretty it up hoping not to offend people. I don't really care if it offends, I don't intend to modify my innate personality to make others happy. This is my two cents, it's worth that to me, while it may not to you. Good day.
@Jeff, my friend; that was SPOT on. Best post I've read in awhile.
Of course, the libs aren't worried about our budget/deficit issues. A problem that falls SQUARELY on THEIR shift. Nope....their more concerned about what Ted Nugent has to say.
I did not state right wing or left wing, I only stated facts. FEMA and many other federal agencies, including the one responsible for oil and gas contracts, were trashed by Bush appointees. The fact that the Las Vegas event happened in 2010 doesn't diminish in any way the fact that the person responsible for it, Neely, got his executive position during the Bush administration. If the Bush administration had done better vetting it's employees and given advancement to someone capable, instead of Neely, he could not have done what he did later.
Again, this is not Right or Left, it is simply looking at the history of these agencies and seeing when the bad apples were put in positions of responsibility. And it just so happens that incompetence was the trait most rewarded under Bush.
When it's Bush's fault, just admit it, clean up your own party, and move on. He was the worst President by far in recent history, and it's going to take a long time to undo the damage he did. No matter what happens, we can still truthfully blame Bush a decade from now, that's how bad he was.
This is all misdirection. Like George Carlin said "If voting changed anything, it would be illegal." I still vote and hope that someday we will get an actual progressive determined to change the inequalities in America (like FDR).
What is really funny (it is in his "book"), Ted Nugent crapped in his pants for three days before he went to the draft board hearing to determine if he could serve in Viet Nam. He was rejected as crazy....Yet he is such a bad-ass gun activist..lol and pro-conservative, so he can keep ALL of his wealth. Yep he is crazy. I am a Progressive and I enjoy my guns also. I don't think laws like "stand your ground" are sane. Being able to "carry" in bars in TN. and other states IMO, are also insane. I think they should be called "coward laws." I am old, retired and disabled, but I don't feel like I should have to worry about drunks with guns if I walk into a pub.
There is no doubt that the wealthiest 1-5% control our world and have too much of a percentage of wealth. Everyone should earn a comfortable wage and have health care. We spend more money on "defense", than the rest of the world COMBINED. Much of that money should go to improve peoples lives, not the wealthy.
Go ahead and colapse me again, (2.10 & 2.40). I'll be back to re-post this again and again.

Is this the direction our country should be heading? Aren’t we better than that?
Oh how I love the pragmatic liberal. Of course I read the above and think....if Bush was bad (and I won't defend him often), then where does Obama stand? I mean come one...open your eyes. Obama is making Bush look like a super hero. Just on the topic of SPENDING ALONE will make Obama a FAR worst president then Bush.
When you put us in FINANCIAL RUIN like Obama has....anything else you do becomes irrelevant. Why do liberals continue to give this guy a pass??
I still think Bill Mahr is funny. If I had Bill's money, I would give Obama 1 million dollars and I hope Ted Nugent gets his wish - the dead or jail thing.
"Just on the topic of SPENDING ALONE will make Obama a FAR worst president then Bush. "
But you as an intelligent person are of course aware of the fact that the Bush administration instituted far more government programs that added to the deficit than the Obama administration. Bush took a surplus, cut revenues with a tax give away to the most wealthy, passed a perscription drug benefit, without paying for it, that was nothing more or less than a subsidy to the pharmaceutical industry, waged two wars off the books, and had the most wasteful and incompetent administration in history.
Obama, on the other hand, inherited the worse economy since the 1930s, with the reduced tax revenue that comes with that. In that scenario, the mess of 8 years if incompetent governance and the economic disaster that Bush left, the Obama administration will be cursed with high deficit spending, but it is all demonstrably, and already accepted by the people who understand these things, to be the affect of the economy at the time Obama took office. The economy that Bush tax cuts to the high income, hedge fund, speculating, gamblers, created.
Virtually none of this debt is due to anything Obama did, and when you actually think about it (if you're capable of thought), it could not be, because the Republican Senators blocks pretty much everything Obama wanted to do.
Acceptance is the first step to getting better. It is time that the right wing accept that they have created this mess. Then, please, right wing, get out of the fast lane so the rest of us can make some progress. You will, as always, benefit from our efforts without lifting a finger, and we promise that we won't complain to much about your constant griping and nay-saying. Just get out of our way, because, unlike you, two centuries ago, us liberals decide we did not like being subject to a monarchy.

I have personally met Ted, and he's pretty harmless.
Detroit, he may be but how about those that listen to him. Making such statement can set off a chain reaction with the lunitic fringe who are not harmless. Public figures need to be careful of what they say and how they say it as they know not who may be listening.
Uh, is this anything like the NBPP putting out bounties?
Yes, Tis: For example, public figures like our President "need to be careful of what they say and how they say it as they know not who may be listening". ...and misconstruing, ad nauseum...like HE did when he weighed in on the Trayvon Martin case for NO GOOD OR CONSTRUCTIVE REASON!
Seems like such a "high order" public figure would have known better, one would think!
Yeah, as long as you agree with him. His mediocre music along with his draft dodging past...I'll be glad to read of his impending death.
You mean the same language your side uses...like the "War on Women" nonsense?
You whined about how free speech and gun rights caused the Laughner attack (which it didn't, his schizo mind did)...but you guys sure went right back to the inflammatory langauage fast. But when the right does it (who are equally statist morons), it's outrageous?
Hypocrites much?
Words are harmless...get over it.
And you CAN yell fire in a crowded theater legally...if there's a fire! If not there is no charge for yelling fire if no one us hurt. The crime is inciting panic...it only applies when harm occurs. Morons have repeated the meme for years that "there is a limit to free speech", when there clearly isn't. It's illegal to cause physical harm, not speak.
Sorry but I think the NRA are the only ones that will listen to Ted Nugent's ravings...that sh/be a lesson to today's kids...what drugs/alcohol do to your mind...Feel sorry for Ted...he's living in a bubble down there in Tx....too sad...:(
You people act like he called a press conference to speak about Trayvon Martin or this Hilary woman. No. He was answering questions from the press discussing TRADE agreements, and some reporter, I think both times from Fox, asked him how he responded, completely off subject. In the Martin case, they said, what would you say to trayvon's family? He spoke to them as a father in sympathy for their loss and said NOTHING about the case one way or the other. And that was bad, how?
Watch with your own eyes things that happen...don't just blindly listen to the spin doctors. You might get the wrong impression. There's this thing call youtube. Watch the raw videos. If you don't realize what you're being shown on fox is edited to the hilt, you will always get the wrong impression.
Personally, I think that Ted Nugent SHOULD speak only to the NRA...they are the only boobs that will listen to his ravings......young people today sh/take this as an example of what drugs and alcohol will do to your brain later on in life...so sad:(
I know he's harmless, and a load of fun, and, smart as hell. The secret service had to check on him not because he mentioned obama, it was because they suspected he had hookers at his place...and they couldn't let that go without sniffing around...
So, did anything Nugent said cause an international incident?
Didn't think so. Obama on the other hand. . .
See, he's down there in South America-(maybe he took the Intercontinental railroad?)- and decided he'd speak about something his brilliant mind could solve
The Falkland Islands.
Now, some of you might remember that there was quite the little kerfuffle about said islands some few years ago- Argentina claims that they belong to Argentina- call them the Malvenas- while the Brits insist that they are British, and are willing to shoot guns at anybody that claims otherwise.
Well, at the end of the kerfuffle, the "Malvenas" remained the Falklands, the Argentinians were, and remain, miffed, and the subject is not brought up in polite company.
Until now, when Obama, in his own, inimitable way, decided he had the solution.
He believes Argentina has the right to- wait for it- the Maldives!
Now, in some way, I guess you can understand his reasoning. Argentina wants some islands, the Brits insist on hanging on to theirs, so Obama thinks Argentina could be satisfied with a bunch of islands off the coast of India.
The fact that the Maldives is a sovereign nation? No problem! Obama will charm them! Worked really well with both North Korea and Iran! Look at the lasting peace he brought to the Middle East!
Oh, wait.. .
And there Re still those- including the intrepid reporters on this site- who seek to convince us Obama is brilliant.
I've got ten watt light bulbs brighter than he.
Grandma, Detroit, and MaryAnn All you on this vine just remember that the NRA has members that has guns and weapons and knows how to use them. Just remember that we will protect our right to own guns even to the death of those that try to take them from us. How many Libs and whiners, that talk crap about Ted, Sarah, and the rest of the members of society that believes in liberty, the constitution, freedom, have guns. I hope Ted Nugent makes all you libs sick to their stomachs. LMAO!!!!!!!!!
Ted Nugent for VP
I would suggest there are those of us who are not NRA members and we know how to use them as well!
Your thinly veiled threat is just that...
All barky... no bitey! ;o)
Dumb Fux I am glad U think that. Ride into the battle and cut YOUR heads off in Nov. Just remember that!!
Your as brain dead as Ted.
Don't let the DEMS out there with guns you'll get the George zimmerman effect they might just shoot each other or maybe theirselves.
Is stating such falsehoods such as drug use by Nugent, supposed to be a tactic to discredit what he said? Or just a lesson in Creative Writing?
Seriously...I've read no less then 20 different comments from Libs, who have INCORRECTLY stated Nugent has or had drug and alcohol problems. Does anyone care to be honest and accurate anymore?
And you know what's worse? ALL YOU SHEEP who MINDLESSLY click "like" to those lies. Bhahhh....Bhahhh. Time to vote for the people with a "D" next to their name....Bhahhhh.
@TNRebel.....that was GREAT. I lost it after reading your quote above. I don't care who you are....that's funny.

Is this the direction our country should be heading? Aren’t we better than that?
I would hope that Nugent will do a service to our nation by choosing to be dead rather than in jail after Obama wins this November. I can't think of a better person to sacrifice their life than someone who has based their life on killing, like Nugent has. The man makes me sick to my stomach every time I read, see or hear of him.
If I had a chance I'd cut off his ponytail myself.
Yeah,
I don't believe in his politics, but man! Can that cat rock!
Cat Scratch Fever? Strangle Hold? Classic balls-out rock.
And to be fair, the killing to which you refer has all been deer and turkeys and squirrels.
Stay away from Mcdonalds Vivian...I hear they kill millions of cows a year..
vivian you ignorant ..... You would wish Ted dead, but would probably jump in front of a speeding train to save a chipmunk....It's people like you who make me buy real fur and leather.....but don't worry, I am assured that the animals are alive when I get the skin.
vivian m I glad you don't have any hate for Ted Nugent. People such as yourself makes Liberals look like the idiots that they are. I will admit to you I hate Libs and I am NOT conservative. But your hate for someone you don't understand is what keeps someone like me going. I will stand for Ted Nugent as long as there are whiny,sniveling, bleeding hearts libs like you.
BTW If you had a chance would you cut his hair. You will never get that chance. He would scalp U first.

But your hate for someone you don't understand is what keeps someone like me going. I will stand for Ted Nugent as long as there are whiny,sniveling, bleeding hearts libs like you.
BTW If you had a chance would you cut his hair. You will never get that chance. He would scalp U first.
FLEXMIND - What's the difference? Hate is hate. You stated that you hated "libs."
I would like to know if Ted Nugent had sex with Courtney Love when she was 12....
I would like to know why Ted Nugent did not serve in Vietnam....
I would like to know why Ted Nugent has lied about his drug use in the 60's and 70's...there are reports that he lies about his drug use...
I would like to know why Ted Nugent has 7 children by 5 different women and he all so has children out of wed lock...
I would like to know why Ted Nugent wants to be seen as a conservative when he has shown by his past immoral behavior that he is NOT a conservative, family value counts...and this man is just a idiot and nothing else...we have got to get rid of the nuts in the Republican Party are we will never get the White House back....Ted Nugent does NOT speak for ALL REPUBLICANS...the Men in my family serve their country proudly in Vietnam...the Men in my family was married to the mothers of their children..the men in my family would have spit on Ted Nugent he was and is a fool...Mitt Romney should be ashamed of himself for wanting Ted Nugent endorsement so badly..but the two have a lot in common..they are both draft dodgers...
Caribou Barbie How can hate be a crime when U love to do it. Yes I can hate just like U. I have a reason because MY country is going to hell and Libs like you are helping. Yea I hate.
Wow Obama resorting to hiring private investigators on anyone who insults him or what
Go ahead and colapse me again, (2.10 & 2.40). I'll be back to re-post this again and again.
THE TRUTH HURTS YOUR CAUSE, RIGHT?
Let's see ..... Obamacare, GSA scandal, Secret Service scandal, 23 other Federal department investigations, Fast & Furious, Higher taxes, High unemployment, No Federal Budget, Under-the-table deals, Suing states for enforcing Federal laws, SCOTUS, Gas prices more that doubled, Solyndra, More regulations, Black Panther voter intimidation, No Keystone pipeline, Massive deficit spending, Over 5 trillion added to the national debt, No plan for anything except the "Buffet Rule", Speech after speech with no follow-through, and on & on & on.
Is this the direction our country should be heading? Aren’t we better than that?

I cant understand what happened to this county. Did politician got so dirty or people so stupid?
Yes.
Alina 77, perhaps this is why most people in this country are now independents or Non-Party affiliates.
Politicians are "dirty" because it distracts voters from what they are really doing. It is a distraction. You aren't paying attention to losing your pension, your standard of living dropping, and your civil rights disappearing if you are fighting mad about someone using contraception or *gasp* having sex for fun! Cultural Wars are all about distraction - very few of those cultural warriors really cares about your sex life but they know they can take your wallet while they get you rabid about someone you don't know doing something "immoral" and disgusting in their bedroom.
Indeed. You should watch the entire interview with The Nuge on Cam and Company. Glenn Beck was also there, and his speech was a real lesson.
Overlord:
You hit the nail right on the head.
Really Overlord? Someone is trying to take away peoples right to use contraception? Why don't you state the truth instead of your partyline spin?
gday67 gotcha bigtime Overlord...did you really think you were going to sleaze that by unnoticed?
Try looking up person hood laws which would in effect outlaw most forms of contraceptives.
What ever happened to the "good ole days" when all we had to worry about was somebody coming to our home to burn our flags?
This is TAME. Go read about Adams and Jefferson's campaigns! Jackson's wife was accused of polygamy and incest!
People are such sensitive weirdos today.
What happened? Republicans got smart. Take a look at Mississippi. It is by far the dinosaur of all states. Rampant poverty. Education in the dumps. Goverment assistance the primary caregiver for most. Yet they vote Republican. If you let them tell it, they do so because of principle. The truth of course is they're a bunch of racists who never forgave the Democrats for their role in Civil Rights. Meanwhile they stand in the welfare line pretending to be angry about goverment spending and taxation. (lol)
No one is trying to take away anyone's contraception... if you want contraception, go see your doctor.
The rest of society doesn't pay for your gas/home/car/etc. - why should they pay for your slut lozenges or rain coats for your man's tool?
The Democrats formed the KKK...(You had better lay off the moonshine!)
Caribou Barbie How many KKK do you know. Speaking of moonshine, it is also made by Democrats. I know several members of the KKK and all are democrats. None are bleeding hearts like U but all are still democrats.
BTW Who is more racist the KKK or the New Black Panthers. I would think the NBP are!!!!
I can always tell I'm getting ready to read some Lib BS when it starts with "all politicians are...", then they try to discreetly slam conservatives.
Attention libs....NO ONE WAS EVER TRYING to take away contraception for women. That lie was simply the latest successful POLITICAL SPIN job in recent history. If you choose to believe this you are ignorant of the facts. Thus giving credibility to the idea of an IQ mandate for voting in this country.
Hey Guys, ease up on Caribou Barbie She's a victim of the Liberal Propaganda Machine, that has successfully dumbed down many Americans. She's convinced that there are NO racists in HER party; just the Republicans.
She's probably the type to scream for WOMENS RIGHTS, but finds it funny to photoshop Palin's face to a big breasted women, and use the handle "Caribou Barbie".
She's a conundrum.
Exactly, not to mention Romney is on video saying exactly that. I know, using a search engine isn't faith-based so Republicans don't believe in it. Give it a try, I've seen the video on several different news sources.
The Republicans have no choice but to lie and spin every issue. The reason is simple, on almost every issue they are wrong and the American people disagree with them. Romney has alienated latinos, African Americans, women, young people, secularists, scientists, academicians, professors, progressives, environmentalists, and even dog-lovers. There are reasons for this and Republicans want to pretend like it isn't true.
Ted Nugent was draft dodger during the Vietnam era and has a thing for underage teenage girls. He is not important in the whole scheme of things.
Tagg Romney obvisoiusly doesn't know crap about crappy rock n roll , ala nugent. The Romneys have always been out of touch.
Ann Romney had nannys to raise her kids and house cleaners back in Belmont Massachusetts, I was one of the house cleaners. She once left us to watch the kids, until the nanny showed up. She had to make her tennis game/lesson
WHAT?
Is that supposed to be bad?
she played tennis while you cleaned her house?
The point is what exactly?
Based on your writing skills , you should never sit down at a computer again.
There is a REASON why you clean houses.
Not everybody can be rich - you actually have to have a brain !
GEEZ
I think the fact is that Ann Romney's "discussions" with her husband about "women's" concern shows how disconnected they both are. How the hell would she know what the average American woman thinks about the economy, etc. when the only women she probably talks to are the ones that "do lunch" and go to tennis lessons? I wish I could have stayed one with my kids, but I couldn't afford that luxury...like the majority of working mothers. She has a flipping elevator for the cars and doesn't have to worry about how she's going to get the stroller and the baby on trains or buses. Ann Romney knows CRAP about what the average American women feels or thinks. It's insulting to the women getting up and going to work while juggling housework, children and worrying about bills. Rick Santorum's BS was upsetting also. That bastard use over $100 thousand dollars of PA tax money for his wife to "home school" his kids while living in VA. When Mrs Romney or Mrs Santorum do a 9 to 5 while taking working outside the home and taking care of the kids, then I'll listen. Until then, they both should just STFU!
Oh, something else Uncle Ted said. " The Government is wiping its azz with the Constitution".
Well said. Want to make lots of money? Work hard and earn it! Dah!
AKA:
I think kwl was referring to the comment made about her not working a day in her life. Then the right jumped all over it like, "Being a mom is the hardest job on the planet!"
Kwl was pointing out that Queen Ann wasn't really being a mom most of the time.
Barry, the point was she left the house cleaners to watch the children without waiting for the nanny to arrive and devote her time to caring for the children. It's like leaving the plumber or the cable guy to watch them. Not very safe for the kids!
Cleaning a large house is not an easy job and not everyone can do it! Show some respect for the people who do the job you are "too good" to do, Barry.
I actaully have a hard time believe that kwl use to work for the romneys, its an internet forum i could claim to be anyone and therefore me a credible witness to anything bad i want to say about some public figure.
Ann Romney know as much about the average american as any politician, which is jack @!$%#, the only difference is some politicians, like obama are better at tricking you into thinking they can relate.
It is obvious that Anne Romney is privileged because of the money, but who cares? If she's a decent human being then what's the problem? My husband and i don't have a lot of money, and I was a stay at home mom for 18 years, and home-schooled my kids. A huge financial sacrifice for sure! i wouldn't change a thing.... While everyone else was building and buying homes 22 years ago, I was home with the kids (hardest job EVER!), and we were still renting. You don't have to have a lot of money to live on one income, you just have to sacrifice and figure out what's the most important.... kids or a mortgage. We eventually did buy a home, but years after "everyone else". I didn't wallow in self pity. it was my choice and I was very happy (still am..). I figured if I was going to give birth to them, I was going to raise them. Not everyone has that "luxury", which I don't think is a luxury but a decision. People! Stop complaining about how much money the Romney's have and how Anne lives as a wife/mother. Big damn deal! Are ya jealous or something? There is more whining and complaining on these message boards that I want to just throw you complainers to Tony Robbins and have him shape up your thinking. Get over it, and move on... Geez!
Do realize how many rock and R&B/soul songs are written about underage girls? Until 60 years ago, it was acceptable. I'm not for it, but it's not the worst thing in the world for a 25 year old dude to bang a 17 year old...sorry. It's not rape or anything (no matter what the moronic law says).
Also...Steven Tyler of Aerosmith was with an underage girl for years and dumped her when she turned 18. How about Elvis? Jerry Lee Lewis?
I mean many politicians in office today married women who they began dating when they were 18-20 and the woman was 15-17.
Quit imposing our current social standards on those of the past. It's like comparing boxers from different eras and trying to say who was the greatest (it can't be done logically).
...you have PROOF to your claim that you were their housekeeper?
If true, it sounds like jealousy on your part... and you obviously married wrong. Or didn't marry...
I first would like to thank Tad for his military service(Nam hero).Plus I feel for Tad because since Derek St. Holmes dropped him on his a$$(Tad not much of a good song writer) he has not sold new records...just old ones and the royalties are lower.Most importantly I wanna thank Tad Nugent for making it cool to have sex with teen(15,16,17) girls from Hawaii while in your very late twenty's or in your thirty's(Like Nambla but with female chidren).Ted Nugent is is getting huge farm subsidies thanks to the american people...ofcourse he wants the GOP in office so he can keep it business as usual. Some of you would be surprised to know about these subsidies a lot of these famous people are getting via the american people's pocket book.My Congressman Jeff Miller's family wealth stems from not growing peanuts and selling peanuts in a controlled amount.Great family business,they do not hide it and Jeff Miller is a good Congressman.But tad Nugent(Don't worry I will post this on his website..lol) though good live at the Spectrum in 75 opening for Blue Oyster Cult & ZZ Top today can not play Dog eat Dog, Free for All,etc. Anyone that takes political advice from that nut(lost his band because he is greedy,crazy Nuge).
kwl... you probably listen to " Boy George ".
Ted Nugent should pack up and leave the country....He felt that it was not good enough to fight for during Vietnam and now he feel like he can say what he likes...I hope the aurthority finally get their hands on him, A LOT of young people died in Vietnam just so this useless DOG..could play hunters...it just prove how ignorant the people are that follow this draft dodger...NOW he has balls, where were his balls during Vietnam????
Perhaps, when Ted leaves the country, he could taks Alec Baldwin with him. Alec Baldwin promised that if George Bush won a second election that he would leave the country. Alec didn't have the balls to keep his word. Old Alec is still here to witness Obama's reign of incompetence.

Obama's inauguration day in 1/08 ?
Gas $1.78
Let it sink in now
$1.78
$1.78
$1.78 !!!!
Today -- Nat Avg $4.65
Yup -- 4 MORE YEARS!!!!
Did you blame Bush AKA, when gas was over 4.00 a gallon in 2008?
You and your ilk beat us to it in 08..
Gas prices dropped almost $3/gal between the beginning of Sept. 08 and the end of Oct. 08. I'm sure they weren't manipulated for political purposes.
That tired ass BS about it being Obama's fault that gas prices are so high is old news. By now, anyone who really wants to know why that's the case knows the real reasons why. Or didn't you see O'Reilly and the friends at Fox saying that anyone who thought it was Bush's fault was crazy. You guys will have to come up with something new...which I'm sure you will after watching tonight's Fox broadcasts. I bet you think that that pipeline will means thousands of jobs here in the US and that the oil is going to stay here too, don't you?
As your idol, Palin would say Ya Betcha! OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!
Randy in Kansas,
The Democrats and the Drive by Media Blamed Bush for the gas prices. I guess it's only fair to blame Obama.

You mean 1/09?????
AAA seems to have another Nat Avg than you - $4.039
www.fuelgaugereport.aaa.com
Please don't waste the keystrokes talking about gas prices. If you cared so much about them you wouldn't be voting for the Republican Party considering how many (Koch) many of them are influencing American politics for their own personal benefit. By the way, if you care about prices why not write the Republican congressman you voted for and have him/her put forth legislation to address the "speculators". Considering that has far more to do with gas prices than the current administration. Surely you knew this....or did you?
BURY BERRIE2012! Or am I allowed to use such hard terms anymore? I case the SS are reading this thread,it all about "landslides",ok! Now go back to your 12 year old hooker!

The liberals have such short memories about the vicious leftist hatred against President Bush . There was actually a full stage play about Bush's assassination, and the liberals yukked it up. Senator Kerry joked about killing Bush.
So your claims of concern about the level of civility is a bit late.
BIV really "vicious leftist hatred". I spent more time laughing or just covering my face in embrassment anytime he spoke. Watching him try to get off the platform in China was the best comedy act in a long time. He was a joke but vicious hatred never heard or saw anything to compare what is being shown Obama.

Bob,
Please provide a source. I'm not familiar with those. Like I said in a previous yes, Bush had some hateful things said about him. But, there is NOOOOOOOOOO way you can justify Georgie boy was a victim of as many assassination attempts on President Obama as well as the mean, hateful, racist, things said about our current President.
In fact, presidential historians have noted this President has been more vilified than any other President since Abraham Lincoln.
President Obama's color intelligence, accomplishments, and demeanor have made you RWNJs heads explode.
Well that's too bad. Get used to it.
Beverly:
For documentation of ongoing talk in the media about assassinating Bush throughout his presidency, including stage productions and TV dramas, consult:
(See Bush II)
Or just do a web search "bush assassination" and watch the pages light up.
In the meantime, I note you did not source your "presidential historians" assertion, nor the assertion that Obama has had more assassination attempts on him than W nor that there have been more mean, hateful, racist, things said about our current President than W. (I suspect that latter is true, if we include blogs, FB posts and other such traffic, as such traffic has grown exponentially since W left office. However, more assassination attempts on O than on W, or even talk of it out in the media, color me dubious.
It's OK that you like Obama more than W. It's also OK that other people find W was a better president that Obama is. That's America. Get used to it.
With all the czar-ships Barry has created and some of Chicago's finest he has surrounded himself with in the Secret Service...It makes sense what Nugent said.
By the way, since the Secret Service was given to Nepolitano along with Homeland Security, how safe are you feeling right now?
@Tistheseason. Come on now. Am I supposed to feel sorry for Obama? Cry me a river. It's called Politics, and you better wear your big boy pants.

People really listen to Ted Nugent? He's always been a moron.
Ted Nugent was washed up 10 years ago
Now he lives in a log cabin in the wilderness and shouts at anything that moves
Drugs: kill brain cells
Sorry, Nuge has never been into drugs of alcohol..
Drugs: kill brain cells
Wasn't it Obama that admitted to doing cocaine and smoking pot?
you're thinking of cokehead dui W.
It was probably VD that killed off both of Ted's brain cells...
Didn't Bush also admit to an alcohol or drug thing? I don't remember as much hate directed towards Bush as we see directed towards President Obama. I remember being amused and embarrassed by him.
The Dems have got to cry foul at every remark anyone makes that might hurt their panty waisted feelings, because they have nothing of substance to hang their hats on. Last time I checked this was a free country and freedom of speech was a cornerstone. Oh but wait, that only applies to the talking empty heads of the media, right? Wrong. Ted and I can say anything we want so long as it is not libelous, slanderous or might cause others physical harm. I don't care what the Islamic judges, Democrats or any other thin skinned special interest group that wants to cry foul thinks.
mudrake, I'm not sure the manure you and Nugent hang your hats on qualifies as being of substance other than as plant food, or that anyone in particular would want to be around, other than those of the same ummmm substance. You better do some more checking, I don't remember the U.S. having Islamic Judges, but then again my mind isn't up all night thinking of ways of being hurtful towards others as a badge of dishonor and quite frankly, as being a coward.
Ishmael doesn't sound much like a Vet from that era. Just saying.
Ted Nugent is an entertainer and has a right to voice his opinions. He has't said anything near as bad as Bill Mahr and the Democrats trying to compare this with the nitwit Hilary Rosen is a joke. She is a Democrat strategist was acting as thier pundit when she made stupid remarks about Mrs. Romney. So they how her and her comments. I don't think the Republicans use Nugent as a political advisor so they don't own him or his remarks. But if where all of Obama's campaign money comes from is ever uncovered, who knows maybe he will end up in jail.
Ted Nugent speaks his mind. He will say things that hurt you liberal thinkers. That is your problem!! You listen to all the lies of the President and think all is fine. What a crock!!! When someone disputes the crap coming from Obamas lips they are called names and anything that spews from a Lib. All I can tell you is the truth hurts. Let me give U a hint. You can tell Obama is lying, his lips are moving.

I have to laugh at this so called license to own guns being granted simply by the Second Amendment, and I do ask forgiveness for possibly being off topic here yet I think it is important enough. I have seen Teddie say this and in the same breath also say he doesn't have a felony history. I would simply like those who support this idea, that the Second Amendment is YOUR gun permit to point out where; the Second Amendment specifically states the Amendment bears only on fire-arms, where the Second Amendment states only nonfelons may posses fire-arms and lastly where the Second Amendment grants weapons on a basis of affordings. If the Second Amendment grants the right as an allowance then I would like the Goverment to tax the rich so that all Americans can be issued a fire-arm.
But if Nugent appears on FOX, which he frequently does, doesn't that taint them? Shouldn't the GOP disavow his comments and refuse to appear on FOX shows? By the way - maybe the Obama PAC will give back Maher's money, the day the GOP admits that Limbaugh and Hanity are clowns and have little or no news value?
Fisty Redhead...Let's get this straight, you defend Hillary Rosen on another article and go after people to prove she works for Osama (try to read this correctly - "her firm, SKDKnickerbocker, had other ties to the administration", plus the fact that Obama felt obligated to comment on it. Now on the other side of the coin, you write that of Romney " wouldn't you think this is the perfect opportunity to take the lead and tell these yahoo's to tone it down? For the record, I think Nugent is an idiot also, but at least he is consistent in his idiotic comments, while you on the other hand, only apply yours as it suits your side. Makes sense you campaigned forOsama, he holds the same beliefs regarding pick and choose.
Wm.
You make a good point, but that will never happen. Maher, Limbaugh and Hanity are making money for the networks, and that trumps any semblance of human decency.
WM. -- It is "Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the Right" so:
Maher, Ed, Maddow, Matthews, Sharpton and Jesse to the Left and Hannity, Limbaugh and others to the Right.
Regarding appearances, Sharpton has his own show on MSNBC -- how does that work?
Sharpton has: incited murderous riots; slandered Jews, Mormons, and homosexuals; libeled a state prosecutor
There is a difference. We on the left aren't demanding that Romney not appear with Hanity or on the same networks that carry Limbaugh (free air time), but you are asking Obama to refuse Maher's money. After all, per the SCOTUS, money = speech, and free air time = free money = really free speech.
I wish both sides would NOT act like the other is evil and hates this country and the people in it. Obama seems like a nice guy. Romney seems like a nice guy. If I were to choose who I would like to have a beer with I would choose Obama or Michelle for that matter. BUT, clearly his economic policies are way out there on the left, too far in my opinion. He is essentially a socialist. Lots of countries practice socialism. This just isn't supposed to be one of them. I don't believe he is evil because he believes in socialism. He is just wrong. We do NOT want to end up like Europe, but we will if we can not stop spending. The economy is stuck in neutral because the business world does not trust the President's policies. No President can waive a magic wand and the economy suddenly starts going. But they have to create an environment in which businesses can thrive. He has done the opposite of that. No recovery in U.S. history has been this slow from recession. The GOP doesn't hate people. They believe in capitalism and personal responsibility. You can disagree with them, but that doesn't make them evil. Romney operates from the center much like Bill Clinton did, so liberals should be happy with the GOP nomination....Gingrich, Santorum and others are much further to the right. The fact is if we want a more centrist gov't then Romney offers that. Obama's talks about fairness and all that but if you look at what he was done with spending in regard to social services he is an extremist....a socialist. Any economics professor would tell you that is path that it seems he is taking. We need both sides to work together to slash spending. The stats indicate the rich already pay more than their share and much more than most people even think is equitable. Get rid of all corporate welfare and subsidies - all of it. Oil, solar, wind, agriculture, etc. Offend both sides and lets get this country rolling again.
Again I hear the label Socialism tossed around. So, Crazy, can you at least provide the definition of Socialism and how Obama is a Socialist based only on the criteria of accute Socialism and not some watered down exceptions to make the term fit?
Gee did Nugent talk to his advisors and find out his 401K is losing money every month?
Time to get like the rest of us, i have some spare "change" but that's about all to retire on.
Uh, I don't know about you, but my 401K has tripled since about 7/08. Seriously, you've lost money? How is that possible?.. Unless you pulled it all out back then...or invested in Toyota?
Nugent is an idiot anyway. Who cares what he says?
Not I!!! Or that nincompoop Santorum (Mr. Bat@!$%# Crazy).
Pat4597, if you have nothing intelligent to say,stay off of the net. I'm sure that your mother would have aborted you long ago if she could have known what an idiot you would turn out to be.
John5900 - Free Country you big Liberal. This is an arena to express your thoughts....
doesnt like what she has to say, threatens with violence. good little righty. its a good thing you guys are always all talk! at least untl one of your little gun freaks snaps and kills people anyway.
I dont care what Nugent says, and I dont care what Kevin Bacon, Barbara Streisand, or any Hollywood actor who may nor may not have an education - or have even take a history or economic class - has to say. like the commercial says, you dont want your doctor doing your job, why would you do your doctors job ?
look at all the money Bono raised in good faith for South Africa - turned out it all went to increase civil war and buy weapons for the bad guys who use violence against the good people of those countries. I'm sure Bono meant well but he's not a politician, especially well versed in Africa, and he did more harm than good. stick to your profession when you have power such as in the case of celebrities.
Since when does ANYBODY take anything Ted NUTgent says seriously. He hasn't changed in years, that's just how he is. Laugh, Blow it off, or ignore him and just go on with your lives.
Let's ask Rep. Gifford what _she— thinks of such incendiary comments, shall we?
Funny how madmen keep shooting liberals and moderates, isn't it?
Ummm the dude that shot her was a Liberal. Get your facts straight before you open your stinky pie hole.
You can go back to watching the TV now. Moron.
No..he wasn't.
Yeh Ted Nuggent is nothing to respect. As kwl said he was a worthless draft dodger when the rest of us went and did our duty to the country. He was like Dickless chenny. He got numerous deferals by going to college and not supporting this country.Then he becomes VP and helps send more troops to their death in Iraq. Real upstanding people!!!
Same Romney, He went to France instead of serving his country.
What about your hero? The Obamanation cannot and will never irrefutably prove that he is a NATURAL BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND HE NEVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY EITHER?
Go back to watching the TV now you dickless MORON!
Obama could never sever after admitting he used coke in high school. The military dosen't take individuals who admit to doing more than experimenting with pot.
oh really? guess there were never drunks in the military eh?
what a twisted hypocritical mind.
@Redman
Is that it? You're not very bright are you. You birthers are getting more and more frantic every time we're exposed to you. Now you've worked yourself into a ignorant frenzy. You are good for a laugh though.
I think you need to sober up Jethro.
*waves to Dennis Price* LOL
Where you been? Haven't seen you in awhile...
Thanks Feisty. I've been kind of hunkered down but I am back.
I hope you're well Feisty.
Just think, spring is here and it's not all that long till November when we can get out the vote and silence the GOP/tp lambs for at least a little while. I won't miss them, they're noisy and not all that bright.
The Goobers are out in full force tonight Feisty.
@Rebel
I don't fear people like that. They usually aren't bright enough to plan anything and not get caught.
@Rebel
If you know about it, trust me, so does law enforcement and the feds. They don't look kindly on this crap.
Dennis,
Not only am I well - I am bright eyed and bushy tailed hunting down the RWNJ's... ☺
Thanks for asking - don't be such a stranger...
It is truly scary to here Ted Nugent and the wackos on this stream talk about taking up their guns and the pending revolution. That is why the feds are talking to Nugent. I don't think you will hear a liberal/Democrat talk about taking out their guns and killing someone who doesn't agree with them. Anyone who doesn't tow the Conservative line is automatically labeled as UN-American, a Communist or a Socialist. I know some of you are still fighting the Civil War but, please can we not talk about killing.
Kim, it was the democrats in the Civil War that took up guns against the newly formed Republican Party. Both of these parties are pychotic. Their base for reasoning is to divide the people so they can both get away with the harm they cause the People. Neither Democrats nor Republicans will ever get back to serving the Nation until the People force them too. Of course using violence wont serve, whichever party really plays that tactic will only solidify the other party and Americans who think it is cute to incite violence against the Goverment without severe cause only act against the Constitution. Neither a pssive nor an aggressive attitude will prevail, only a consistent For the People (as a whole nation!) approuch will.
It's the usual Double Standard"We Get To Be The Tough Bad Guys And You Have To Take it" Dance from the blithering idiot Republicans. They can't get over that Obama doesn't just sit and take it like past Democrats, but rather hurls it back like a hot spike at them. Then they jump up and down and cry like little girls. Poor Republicans...are you having a bad,day,month,year,election,life? The entire world has been roaring with laughter at you since Herman "Bozo" Cain opened his mouth. Your party is dying from self-inflected wounds. See you in November...LOSERS! LOLOLOLOLOL

I like what you said. I just hope the RWNJs understand the meaning of lose then; since they have a problem with facts and occurrences.
Wow....quite a mouthfull Stevenjoe! Hope you feel better.
Boy, you really take the Pill didn't you? Get out of my Republic! If you want Communism then move to Cuba or Venezuela you blithering idiot. And YOU are going to be sorry for after November people with Common Sense will have a Super Majority in the House and Senate so you can have your Kenyan master another 4 years but it won't mean DICK!
Correction, after January 20th 2013 I should say!
RedMan, I'm happy to see from your posts you are of the like who has no common sense. How long does it take for you to wake up and feel this way or were you hatched with such a disposition? Inquiring minds don't want to know, btw.
redmaninabluestate
kenyan master--really? this is the best you can do? you think you have common sence?
Go to intrade.com and put your money where your mouth is and buy some shares in . Romney becomming president in 2012. What are all the people with similar common sence as yours going to use for excuses in november? this country is just as much mine as it is yours. your just going to have to deal with being on the short end of votes in the election, unless you "real" Americans have another way to get your man into the president's office. do you think you parinoids have enough guns stockpiled yet. you would not know reality if it bit you in the ass! if the guy that gets elected does not share your ideas your just going to have to live with it. that's how it's done in my republic.
Why would anyone listen to a ancient rocker who has been in a drug induced coma and not been revelant for 35 years.
jtr49 you apparently do not know anything about Nugent. Apparently that is how you also pick your politics.
To stupid liberals, Ted Nugent does not do drugs. Ted Nugent is as popular as your liberal Bruce Springsteen.
Another Moron, go back to watching TV.
"Right Wing Watch has posted more footage from the event, in which Nugent compares Obama and democrats to a coyote that should be shot"
I guess Nugent, the yellow draft dodger(just like Mitt) won't be the one doing the shooting. Oh wait, he is a total man with a gun when he confronts bunnies, dear and those deadly man eating quail.A real hero, that one.
RIP Ted Nugent. If he can't understand that Bush was to blame then he's stupid. Gee, Ted, are you in the KKK too?
Jim, Ted was NEVER as popular as Bruce!
Ted Nugent, hero of the wingnuts, @!$%#ty pants, draft dodging hater who advocates violence. No surprise there. You must be so proud.
Ted might be as popular as Bruce at redneck parties.
it is just plain and simple...Obama Sucks!!!
Amen my friend!
And I say Amen! He's over his head....
Amen, Obama sucks, is probably not even legally President and is conspiring with the Chinese to DESTROY freedom and this Republic!
The saddest part is HE doesn't care that he's "over his head," and what he's doing to our country and his admirers FAIL to do their research about his non-accomplishments, and failures.
He's counting on only BS to get him re-elected, and that you idiots will fll for it!
@redmaninabluestate, just wait and see if Romney gets elected and decides to default on our loans from China. You won't have enough guns to save yourself.
So have you people ever worked for a Mormon. Before you all shoot off your mouths you might want to look at some facts on heavily Mormon States and how they rank in comparision to the rest of the country. Try Idaho and Utah, lots of work here,lol,lol, and lol. Great wages and benefits, and bonuses, low taxes, great roads and the dreams keeps rolling on, and on, and on, and on. Best educational systems in America, lol,lol,lol. Yes Vote Republican for those GREEN FIELDS of OLD (Gold).
Ted Nugent is a has-been who is probably getting paid to keep up this nonsense. I hope he is thoroughly investigated. You people are really naive aren't you? You are being suckered by a has-been rocker and propagandist who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire. K eep it up.It'll make a good script for some enterprising soul in Hollywood.
Everybody that thinks just because Nugent and Romney did not serve in Nam they are cowards and don't deserve to be here in the U.S. I can remember the same liberals spitting and cussing the Vets when they came home from Nam. They don't deserve to even breath the same air as our real patriots.
WHEN President Obama took office he INHERITED debt that BUSH created. Did you know that Bush was keeping the Iraq and Afghanistan costs OFF the books--millions per day. When I hear the tirades against our president I worry one of you racists will kill him.
Real patriots don't DODGE the draft by @!$%#ting their pants for a month and living in them. Real patriots aren't so blinded by their ideology they try to destroy the country (see teapubs taking down the US credit rating all by themselves, and cheering when it happened). Real patriots don't try to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters because they want to tip the scales in their favor. Real patriots don't hate the government so much they will do anything to destroy it, just so they can be right. Real patriots defend ALL Americans, not just the elite.
ouch! kwl, anywho, hilary rosen sure did make a lot a frannns! did she get paid good for that report?? lol
kwl who watched Hilary Rosen's kids while they were growing up. Please tell me how Hiliary who make over 1 million a year how she also can relate to middle class women. It's funny how if your on the left and rich you can relate to middle class voters only the rich on the right are out of touch. Amazing!
Fiesty, you are so full of poop. Really....If any one knows anything about Ted Nugent, is that he has not drank or done drugs for over thirty years. He is a right winger which I am sure you find offensive, but don't try to assert your useless words of wisdom to paint Ted as a drunk or abuser. He is actually a phenomal person who speaks his mind and is politically active. You may consider him crazy, just like I consider you whacko.
CAT SCRATCH FEVER BABY!!!
Dont forget his infatuation with fully automatic guns. Which makes him worse than being on drugs or drunk.
Because sane people tell their fellow republicans to chop off their heads if things don't go their way.
Guns can't kill people unless there is a person willing to pull the trigger. Single shot or fully automatic it still takes a person to pull the trigger. That same person could use a hammer, or an axe, or a car, or a knife. If I need someone to watch my back I'll take Ted and you can become a victim.
What about the admitted pedophelia? If I were you guys, I wouldn't let him NEAR a microphone which represented my organization. He has bragged about a preference for preteen girls, and even got one's parents to allow him to be appointed guardian when she was 16 years old, who had been his girlfriend for 2 or 3 years already. Watch his "Behind the Music".
Howard Stern got Courtney Love(speaking of drugs) to admit that she had sex with him when she was 12. I'm no fan of hers(HATE HER), but she had told the stories of her father's rocker friends abusing her for years. She never named names. But Stern practically made her admit it. She sure was not proud of that. Listen to those clips, too. Keep this guy away from you, or any organization you care about.
@Mike-416, you are an Effing IDIOT! Read the Constitution you Communist tool!
Wrong. I stand an excellent chance of survival if someone tries to assault me with an axe or knife. Stupid analogy.
And you can have Sweaty Teddy - someone who uses a firearm as an extension of his penis is not someone I would hang around with. He's dumb enough that his stupidity increases the chances of someone near him getting accidentally shot by his gun. No thanks.
no, ted nugent never did drugs.. the puritan rightie just had sex with hundreds, if not thousands of women! that was HIS vice instead. but shhh dont tell the moral police on the right.
only a righty would equate saying ann romney never worked a day in her life (arguably so, how many of YOU have six servants..whoops, house assistants and several cadillacs?) with threatening to kill a president?
the party of gun violence- the gop.
keep talkin crazy ted.. got some more lousy books to sell im sure. your music has pretty much always sucked, notwithstanding your two "hits," which i always thought sucked to.. cat scratch fever?
the rest of the music community thinks youre a talentless hack too, also why you cant sell any more recrods these days (the 70's are OVER bud).
keep on threatening peoples lives.. you're a real big man. take palin out on a date.
You stand an excellent chance of survival if attacked by a person with a knife or axe? An excellent chance? I think you may have a better chance but, still does not look good, and it still takes someone to swing it. Gun, knife, axe... does it matter, still need someone on the other side. At least with a gun, you have a chance if they run out of ammo. Axes and knives do not run out of ammo.
it truly does amaze me that the suposed "morals" party would even associate themselves with this guy. yeah sure, youve a hankering for his hard on cause he's in love with guns, but you somehow collectively forget this man is a sexual predator. go and lok up just how many women he has had sex with. i dare you. and then get back to me about how great he is, moral majority.
hes slept with so many women and palin the moral princess hangs with him? kindof a stretch for her eh?
I still can't understand why the right wing proponents keep showing up on this so-called left wing news agency? If MSNBC is so left wing, why do you right wingers keep commenting on this blog? Isn't there sufficient news on your right wing channels to keep you satisfied? Doesn't Fox News post any on-line news articles for you to get your fill? OR, is that the only news worth commenting about comes from the so called left wing media?
Well, I do browse all the channels. I like to get all sides and evaluate the points of view. Yesterday, while listening to MSNBC and FOX News, I came upon the FOX News show called "The Five." The on-going discussion involved comedians and their obsession with making fun of the republican candidates. The short guy (looks like a mole) just could not understand why comedians don't parody Obama all that much, while they continually pick on Romney, Santorum, Cain, Palin, Bachmann, Perry, and Paul. What struck me as rather sad was the way this "mole" looking commentator came across. He seemed like a little boy who gets picked on all the time and would like someone to come to his aid -- he really came across as a lost little boy. I thought that for a moment, he would burst out into tears. Anyway, their conclusion was that all these comedians are left wing radicals.
Their short sided conclusion doesn't take into account that comedians will take advantage of anything stupid done by politicians. Jimmy Carter was a prime target of comedians, so was Ronald Ragen, and the biggest target of comedians was "Slick Willie" aka, Bill Clinton. But, let's focus on now. The reason why comedians are so enamored with the republican politicians is because they're funnier than a three ring circus. These characters are causing many of the comedy writers to be laid off. Comedians don't need anyone to write jokes. They simply listen to the next set of idiotic comments coming out of the mouths of the Republican elite and they have more material than any writer could possibly come up with. Let's see: Paul Revere rode off to warn the British.... Russia will soon get nuclear weapons.....I'm not a lobbyist..... I took a dead fetus home to teach the rest of my kids.... Family is sacred, but I can fool around while my wife dies of cancer.... Obamacare is doom-n-gloom, but my health care bill was different.... A woman should be allowed to choose to stay at home or to work outside the home, but if you're a poor woman, you need to get out of the house and get a job..... I respect women and love my wife, and four or five other women who work for me..... We want smaller Government, but don't mind passing over 300 laws restricting a woman's ability to control her own body..... I’m pro choice, er no, I’m pro life, er…… etc., etc., etc.
The republican primary race has been better than anything Ringling Brothers/Barnum Bailey could possibly have come up with. Comedians have enough material to last several decades.
believerof - Lets think back to 1998 - who was President and what did he do? Clinton & Lewinsky. Palin or the GOP doesn't judge people based on their past. Show me someone who hasn't done something stupid. Just because a majority of Christians are in the GOP doesn't mean they are without fault. If we based who could get into the liberal or democratic party based on past sins - then there wouldn't be parties in America.
Yo-Ho: Why are conservatives on MSNBC? If I was in the middle of a Clan that was feeding me B.S. and lies I would hope someone outside of it would come on and show me the truth. The issue isn't that MSNBC is liberal - it's that they have a ridiculous agenda full of lies. They spin everything and refuse to tell the truth. Not on everything - but when it comes to the Election - everything is a LIE on here. Please tell me deep down how comparing an Obama political analyst who has been to the White House 30 times vs some random so called famous Republican is the same thing? And why you would ever write something about it? How about comparing Bill Maher to Nugent - that is a better comparison but I'm guessing you would side with Maher as well.
Anyone that urinates and defacates in their pants for a month in order to dodge the draft doesn't need drugs/alcohol, they are insane losers by default, along with being spineless cowards. If he had courage(balls) he would have gone to Canada
Hey YO-YO or Yo ho, It is our constitutional right to come to any page we want and express our views, so suck it up dear, because we arent going anywhere. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer ;)
Boy the democrats are really getting desparate....trying to associate Ted Nugent to Mitt Romney? Desparation at its best. Almost as pathetic as that self righteous arrogant idiot Bill Maher....."almost"
It seems to bother you more.
All of you are bunch morons except the few that made sense...Every body can't be right...Yet everyone is a freaking genius when come to politics...News flash! all of you are a bunch of dumb asses! Why? Because you keep voting for the same idiots in Congress who created the mess in the first place. If the President and Congress aren't part of the solution then they are part of the problem...Not just the President or the few in Congress, it's the whole damn American people. Let's keep voting the same idiots and see How far this country sink to the abyss of the Stentch of the first degree...Yet you will blame the problems on the democrats, the republicans, the liberals and the conservatives. What are you?...12 yrs old? All of you disgust me to no end...Grow Up people! Get a clue! Please take my advice: Never agrue with people who believe in their own idiocies...peace.
Eddie you are right we have two choices the dems and rep. they both have failed us. They have had the power for 150 years and we need some changes! Our problem is the media that only reports on what they want us to know! Do we ever hear of the war overseas! Dead issue, not one we want to talk about! Time for people to stop whining and go back to work!

"Palin or the GOP doesn't judge people based on their past.Palin or the GOP doesn't judge people based on their past."
are you effing KIDDING ME?
theyre so stuck on obamas past they dont even believe where he was BORN! they say he "spent 20 years in reverend wrights racist church" on here EVERY DAY and then turn around and say he is a muslim!
Hey FEISTY DEADHEAD Why doesn't Obama put his money where his mouth is and pay 30% tax on his earnings, after all he believes so much in the Buffet rule.
Why don't you ask Obama? How much does Rmoney pay in taxes....oh that's right 14%. Idiots on the right are okay with that though because they truly believe they to will some day become a millionaire.
It is morally wrong for someones labor to be taxed more than someone playing the stock market. Time to increase capital gains and dividend taxes up to 40%.
We have no idea how much Romney pays in taxes because he has just put in an extension on his taxes which will give him until AFTER the election for his tax information to be made public. Obama paid his taxes, and released his information every single year, and his tax infomation for this year will be public if it already isn't. Why can't Willard?
Of all your new republican talking points, this is maybe the most idiotic. That is his whole POINT! He pays what is legal NOW. If the tax laws were changed, he'd be paying more, and he's willing to. Romney isn't. Obama is going against his own interest. Romney wants to continue to pay a lower effective tax rate than his secretary. Geez. I really don't believe you guys don't get this. You just think most people reading what you write are supremely dumb and will follow you.
