Dear Los Angeles: I'm Thankful For...
I LOVE L.A.! My Thanksgiving Thanks
I know this is hardly a controversial opinion.
A few years ago, I had the “pleasure” of seeing Ted Nugent open for Kiss. The show was raw, sweaty, and blissfully loud. As the Motor City Madman powered through hit after hit, I was amazed at how much I was enjoying his brand of gloriously primitive bonehead rock. The massive crowd cheered, pumped their fists, and banged their collective heads to the seemingly endless stream of vaginal odes.
Then… Ted introduced a new song. The song was called “Kiss My Ass”, and he dedicated it to “that whore, Janet Reno”, and “that faggot, Gray Davis”. The song was forgettable enough. Lyrically, the song made “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” seem like Shakespeare. As the song ended, the loin-cloth clad Nuge screamed, “If you don’t speak English, get the fuck out my country!”
I was shocked. Not so much by Ted expressing his Hillbilly views, but by the largely Hispanic crowd around me cheering the sentiment as if the Nuge had just announced he was giving everyone in the audience a million dollars. To keep my sanity, I’ve convinced myself that much of that crowd didn’t speak English.
In July, the Nuge was being interviewed on the Fox News Channel, and said that anyone who jokes about shooting Rush Limbaugh should be imprisoned.
In the above clip from earlier this week, you can watch Ted waving fake machine guns, and pretty much threatening to kill Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, and Dianne Feinstein.

There's nothing like the freedom of shooting a machine gun. Ted Nugent is a delicate flower.
PS Don't use "putz" Ted. That's our word and you don't want to sound like a liberal Jew do you?
My favorite irony was how he wore an indian headdress and then talked shit about people who weren't American and couldn't speak American. "That doesn't sound like Cherokee to me, there, Ted."
I also loved it when Paul Stanley got stuck in the contraption that had him flying over the crowd. What a great show.
Come on guys, don't be so left wing that you can't enjoy Nugent. "Stranglehold" is one of rock's best songs. And he was threatening to kill anyone! Cheer up :)
OMG. I believe in freedom of speech and all but this is just too far! I mean it's shocking! And those poor latinos!
Freedom of speech means you get to call someone a dick for expressing their freedom of speech. It also means you get to sarcastically criticize someone for criticizing someone else.
America! Love it or leave it!
Freedom of speech means I'm going to write an overly sensitive editorial about Ted Nugent so when something important actually comes up, no one is going to listen because I'm a bleeding heart liberal.
Don't you get how funny it is when he pulls out a 50 caliber weapon on stage and says so and so can suck on it? It's over the top on purpose!
I didn't know Google Ads had an irony filter. The ad I see tied to this post is offering to send me Ann Coulter articles "free weekly via email."
Nugent IS a douchebag. And an idiot. And no, none of his tunes are "rock's greatest ever". Sorry.
But he can say whatever he wants. For my part, I'll avoid his act next time I'm at the State Fair.
Ted Nugent is still alive? Guess it's time to update my death pool list.
"America! Love it or leave it!"
Were you being sarcastic? I hope so. Damn George W., he has seriously handicapped my ability to detect sarcasm.
#6 - anonymous guest - obviously the Nuge is being over the top on purpose. He's also a hypocritical mo-ron. I'm sure he thinks he's being funny. As for freedom of speech, I totally believe Ted should say whatever stupid things he wants to say, and that anyone who doesn't like it doesn't have to listen. And I'm sure a lot of people who called for a Dixie Chicks boycott will be lining up to tell us the same exact thing.
what an asshole
hope he gets mauled by a bear.
iwritela: Yes, I was being sarcastic.
It's all about truthism.
I'm sure he's trying to be funny, but it obviously reflects his genuine point of view. A point of view that is taken seriously by a lot of people, and that gets him invited on shows like Hannity & Colmes all the time.
Ultimate douchebag Sean Hannity really sucked on one of Nugent's nuts this week with his call out to "liberals" for dissing the Nuge. He said: "'I see you liberals more upset about that, but I don't hear anybody criticizing Barack Obama for accusing our troops of killing civilians, air-raiding villages, et cetera, et cetera. What's more shocking to you? What's more offensive to you? Is it Barack Obama's statement about our troops or Ted Nugent?'"
Click here for video of Olbermann slamming Hannity sucking on Nuge.
I can't believe what has happened to this country. The fact is, speaking English should be a requirement for entering the United States. If you don't want to learn the language, then get the hell out, we don't need you and we'll be better off with you somewhere else corrupting some other poor country with your so-called "culture." Which invariably means accusing everyone else of being racist as you ask for handouts from the government. As far as I'm concerned there should be a constitutional amendment to make English the official language, maybe we could call it the Nugent Act. And for all of you people slamming Fox News, I guess you can't stand that it's the only news station that tells it like it is, and isn't afraid of what overly sensitive liberals will say about its reporting, it's just saying what most of America is thinking anyway, but is too afraid to say because it might be seen as politically incorrect. Thanks to people who think like the Nuge, Limbaugh and Couleter and we will prevail in Iraq, we'll show Iran what the business end of an ICBM looks like and we'll have the North Koreans licking our and boots begging for mercy.
USA #1 all the way! Love it or leave it!
all hail Olbermann! In that same Hannity interview, Nugent complains about the "lunatic fringe" for perpetuatin' the hate!
LOL! Most of the Hispanics cheered when he said it because they agree with him that if you are going to stay in this country you should speak English. I think a person who tells another group what they should think and cheer for is the ultimate douche bag.
