人兽性交

Ted Nugent, the metal guitarist-turned-hunting-aficionado, has been in the news a lot lately 鈥� and not in a good way. His former friends in the conservative and mainstream media who had smiled and turned a blind eye to his extreme rhetoric over the years finally seemed to reach their limit this week after Nugent鈥檚 shtick descended into outrageously racist remarks attacking President Obama. That in turn was followed by a series of increasingly bizarre media appearances by Nugent in which he made outrageous claims and exhibited a strange and twisted worldview.

Of course, none of this is really news to people who have followed Nugent for long: he has a long track record of extremist rhetoric and behavior, often violent and outrageous in nature. The more pertinent question, perhaps, is why it took this long for everyone else to figure it out.

The most recent explosion of nuttiness surrounding Nugent revolved around at a gun-industry trade show, when he called President Obama a 鈥渟ubhuman mongrel鈥� who should tried for treason:

NUGENT: I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist raised communist educated communist nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America. I am heartbroken but I am not giving up. I think America will be America again when Barack Obama, [Attorney General] Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, [Sen.] Dick Durbin, [former New York City Mayor] Michael Bloomberg and all of the liberal Democrats are in jail facing the just due punishment that their treasonous acts are clearly apparent.

He went on to also refer to Obama as a 鈥渃himpanzee鈥�.

The issue might have just festered and gradually died away were it not for Nugent鈥檚 busy schedule campaigning on behalf of a number of Tea Party-oriented Republican candidates, notably Texas gubernatorial hopeful Greg Abbott. After Nugent made campaign appearances on his behalf, about Nugent鈥檚 recent remarks. The Abbott campaign distancing itself from Nugent. The issue reached a head when CNN鈥檚 Wolf Blitzer interviewed Abbott and asked him about Nugent.

Then Nugent began firing back, somewhat haphazardly:

• First, and denounced CNN and Wolf Blitzer as liars.
• Next, he that President Obama had used the same slur when describing himself.
• He and apologized for his remarks 鈥� not to the president, but to Abbott and Sen. Ted Cruz, who had been attacked for associating with him.
• Shortly after that, in which he warned that Obama was creating another Nazi Germany and that racial war would result.
• He and claimed there was nothing racist about calling Obama a 鈥渟ubhuman mongrel鈥�, claimed that he was going to 鈥渟top calling people names,鈥� and by calling the president a liar.
• In the same interview, he also for the cancellation of Piers Morgan鈥檚 CNN news-talk show.

Well before this most recent descent into insanity, though, Nugent had a well-established record of extremism in his rhetoric, particularly his propensity to suggest or threaten violence as a political solution in a democratic system.听 In 2007, for example, he at one of his rock performances:

NUGENT: I was in Chicago last week. I said -- Hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these, you punk? Obama, he's a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on one of my machine guns... Let's hear it for them. I was in New York and I said hey Hillary -- you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless b----...听 Since I'm in California, I'm gonna find-- she might wanna suck on my machine gun! Hey, Dianne Feinstein, ride one of these you worthless w----. Any questions? Freeeeedom!

He also went on and talked in a :

I鈥檓 the expert on the health care bill because I kill pigs. And it鈥檚 the communist, Mao, Che agenda of the communist, Mao, Che fans in the White House. They鈥檙e pigs, Neil! We gotta kill the pig.

That鈥檚 only scratching the surface of Nugent鈥檚 , which includes not only racially charged remarks but also misogynistic and sexist talk and behavior, thrown in.

The recent escapades have finally hit home, however. Nugent鈥檚 remarks and said the rocker ought to apologize. chimed in similarly. As observed, Nugent was doing a great job of driving minorities away from the Republican Party.

Yet in spite of the bizarre behavior and increasingly extreme and overtly racist rhetoric, Nugent remains a popular figure. Abbott remains a friend. He is even of the Sid Miller for Texas Agriculture Commissioner campaign.

And he still has a regular weekly show on Outdoor Channel, , and remains a . Both the NRA and the Outdoor Channel when asked Nugent鈥檚 status with their organizations in light of his recent remarks; the 人兽性交鈥檚 calls to Outdoor Channel this week were not returned.

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence announced it was mounting a to persuade the Michigan Economic Development Corporation 鈥� the state鈥檚 chief tourism and marketing agency 鈥� to drop its associations with Outdoor Channel and Nugent in coproducing his show.

鈥淲e were shocked to hear that MEDC was working with the Outdoor Channel and high-profile spokesman Ted Nugent,鈥� said the Coalition鈥檚 Ladd Everitt. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not just the decades-long litany of racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and anti-immigrant statements that have come from the aged rocker and NRA board member.听 It鈥檚 also the fact that Nugent has called the 鈥楶ure Michigan鈥� campaign 鈥榖asically a fa莽ade鈥� run by 鈥榟ash bash hippies.鈥櫶� You have to wonder what they were thinking when they signed this guy on to promote their state.鈥�
