Ted Nugent says ~ 'Slaughter' Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security...

Nice choice of words. When you allow an idiot like Ted Nugent to represent your organization, it's probably a wise move to shut down your web site for a while after a national tragedy. At least Discovery had the sense to immediately cancel Ted Nugent's Gun Country ~ but that too was probably out of concern after the latest massacre of innocents.

How does he even fire a gun with those hands?

The man is a fool. Struggling for relevance.

Indeed. And yet the left still gives him attention like he's relevant. This lame thread is about him using the word "slaughter" a few weeks ago.

[jonsensback]

He used the word "slaughter in terms that SS and medicare are sacred cows, and what do you do to a cow octo besides milk it?

Ted's a tool, but I'm not hateful or lame enough to blame him for using the word slaughter 2 weeks prior to the horid Newtown tragedy.

To octoburn, apparently.

Afetr all, he started this silly thread, didn't he?

Words don't kill people; people kill people.

Right?

Words don't kill people; people kill people.

Right?

Good one!

Okay. The word "slaughter" should be removed from our vocabulary even if one is not suggesting that a person or person be slaughtered.

Not understanding how you can defend what he says in the slightest....

[reg_indy]

Why is he getting attention for anything he says?

[Wes]

This thread is about Sandy Hook and Biden???

[Sprightly]

Not understanding how you can defend what he says in the slightest....

I'm not defending anything he says. Unless someone here brings him up, I don't even know that he's still alive. I don't even know why there's a thread about a word that he used weeks prior to the Sandy Hook tragedy. I could understand the angst, maybe, had he said it the day of or days following.

[CajunRaven]

He always uses incendiary language. And he poorly represents gun owners just as well as he does actual sportsperson hunters and real patriots who served our country honorably and didn't take the extraordinarily disgraceful steps Ted took to get out of the service when he could have backed up his macho words with actions.

People from both sides use incendiary language. He was talking about cows, what happens to cows.

I personally don't care what a washed up musician has to say, but on this one, I'm not sure what your point is. Cows get slaughtered and he said this before Sandy Hook.

We can go find stupid crap said by the anti gun crowd as well. With well over 300M people in the country, you can pretty much find an idiot on either side to make your point, whcih in this case, I'm having a hard time understanding.

Lame about sums it up.

This too. Who the hell cares what he said/says.

It is a terrible choice of words if he is going to make himself a representative of the NRA....guns and slaughter just should be associated together if the org is trying to make an appeal to the gen population that guns can be handled safely and they should have their support.

It's quite a shame that Nugent made a choice to turn his brand in this direction.....
I used to be a fan........

He wasn't even writing about guns. He was writing about the national debt.
You people are ridiculous.

Exactly. And their silence about the public positions he takes speaks volumes even as they pretend it doesn't.

You're letting the facts get in the way of a good rant following the tradegy in Conn.

Then the NRA must hold him in very high regard. Don't you agree?

Nugent is a gun nut and the NRA wants people who put guns above everything else.
