Rock blaster Ted Nugent (whose hyper-amplified section of the stage was referred to by his band as "The Killing Fields", if I recall my MTV Legends of Rock correctly) is prepping to off Obama should he win re-election.
No worries - the Secret Service is on it. Presumably their party girls are already in contact with Nugent's party girls.
HOLD THE FRONT PAGE! Apparently Ted Nugent is contemplating his own untimely demise - as a gun owner, he seemed to have been riffing on the notion that Obama can take Nugent's guns from his cold dead hands.
Yet more evidence that the mere mention of guns freezes liberal brains.
That's a death threat? Sounded like a suicide pact.

The comments were more incinderary tham Nugent's quote.

More like a warning of repression ahead rather than a threat to the President.

Ok-I have said before that education is a huge Corporatist adventure these days. But I didn't know that Exxon did a Common Core commercial. Even worse they paid Masters coverage rates to air it on broadcast.
"Please if we say nice things about your ed agenda publicly, can we drill then. No? How about keeping the refinery open without crippling new technology investments? No. Well, what if we come up with a nice commercial and air it at the Masters so politicians and bureaucrats can push this federal agenda with less scrutiny because it's 'necessary for our competitiveness in this difficult economy.' So that's a winner? And then you will help us avoid the industry death sentence? At least for a few more quarters?"
Industrial policy. Because bo says other countries do it, why shouldn't we?"

Somebody needs to give the Secret Service drug tests if they viewed Ted's comments as a threat to Il Douche. Are you sure they didn't take some of his "Cat Scratch Fever" lyrics as a threat to the JEF?

The Yahoo news guy must have learned his editing techniques from the Today show:
"I'll tell you this right now: If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," Nugent said. "We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?"
Not even an ellipsis, though Nugent spoke probably a couple dozen sentences between the two quoted, where he alluded to the American Revolution.

"a great day for voter fraud"
Does that mean the voter fraudsters can't be stopped? I can't imagine the Obama crowd winning without voter fraud. It will occur in every part of this great land in the primaries, in the conventions, and in the Nov elections, unless we stop it, IMO.

regardless of politics, to call a rock artist who had the kind of massive FM airplay Nugent did in the 70s a "one-hit wonder" is moronic. by those standards, Bob Dylan was a one-hit wonder.

On the Today show, Matt Lauer has sand in his mangina, Ted Koppel is off his Geritol and Trandrea has been scared frigid at the lack of CIVILITY of the Nuge's comments at some obscure setting. I guess they don't get HBO.

Ted responds:
“I spoke at the NRA and I will stand by my speech. It was 100 percent positive,” Nugent told the Dana Loesch radio show today. “It’s about we the people taking back our American dream from the corrupt monsters in the federal government under this administration and the communist czars he’s appointed.”
“I have never in my life threatened anyone’s life. I’m incapable of threatening anyone’s life. Because I’m about positive change, my entire speech, all my articles,” he later added.
Nugent did not temper his rhetoric for Democratic National Committee chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz or House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, whom he called “varmints.”
“Varmints are sometimes clever, but they are really easy to outmaneuver,”
During the Dana Loesch interview, Nugent also went after Wasserman Shultz, calling her a "brain-dead, soulless idiot."
"I am on the right track and she just encourages me to stand stronger," he said.
“The job of we the people is to spotlight cockroaches, and come November we’re going to stomp them at the voting booth,” he said.

He said "stomp"! Oooooh.
Well, I finally watched the clip, and the claims of supposed threats are underwhelming. By far the closest was the Braveheart riff: "we need to ride into that battlefield, and chop their heads off in November." And that's so obviously a political metaphor that nobody could take it seriously as an actual threat.
Bottom line: there's no "there" there (except the usual libs with vapors, which isn't news).

Ted Nugent (the Nuge) used to have a Radio Program here in the Detroit Area that was pretty good. He is more for Hunting Rights than he is for Gun Rights. IMO, he hurt his "brand" when he was caught violating Game Regulations in California (LUN).
