Ted Nugent slams ‘lying freaks’ at liberal media: I’m ‘doing God’s work’

Surely you'd think this rates as LBN, but noooooooo.

Ted Nugent slams ‘lying freaks’ at liberal media: I’m ‘doing God’s work’

By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times Friday, August 1, 2014

Conservative firebrand Ted Nugent hit back at his detractors in the media who’ve characterized him as racist — and even pressed a couple of venues to cancel his concerts for alleged racist remarks he made — and he called them hateful destroyers of the truth.

In a column that ran first at WND, Mr. Nugent said, “They say that if you’re taking flak, you must be over the target. Well, lo and behold, the old Motorcity guitars layer is not only directly over the target, I am obviously sitting deadcenter in the enemies’ own foxhole, driving them batty with my unstoppable onslaught of self-evident truth, logic, common sense.”

He then took to task certain media organizations for casting him in less-that-positive light and slamming them as liars.

“For the lying freaks over at the Huffington Post, Moveon.org and the scammers at the Southern Poverty Law Center to go to such extremes to constantly lie about me is proof positive that I am not only on the right track doing God’s work spotlighting the current infestation of cockroaches amongst us, but that they are clearly scared to death of me and virtually incapable of debating me one on one. They know I will go Piers Morgan on them and expose them for the braindead America haters they are.”


ETA: the link to his column. How could I have forgotten?

God must've told him that he should hang around and continue being an irritant. And we know what an irritant does, when introduced to an oyster -- it eventually produces a pearl.

So I interpret that to mean that God REALLY wants him to be eaten by a giant oyster. So be it. God works in strange and wondrous ways.

And he is not a fucking "conservative firebrand", you media idiots, he is a hater with a mouth, a nobody who becomes a somebody purely because he has a megaphone to broadcast and sell vicious hate, always a best seller throughout the sad history of evil humans made more evil by unhinged fascist religion.

It is the brand of hate and idiocy. Call him a conservative hatebrand.

is used to having. Maybe he should try the gun shows, they would like to support him. He is disgusting trying to say he is doing God's work. It always hurts when their pocket book gets hit. Don't expect people to support hate and don't expect your shows to be supported when you are stupid and run off at the mouth.

that old Ted is booked at the Hard Rock in Biloxi, Mississippi on August 15th. So not every venue is disenchanted with him. Given where it is, I suspect he will sell out.

All you needed to shut Nugent up was Elayne Boosler, who Maher always seemed to book for the same show as Ted so I don't get that "incapable of debating" him thing.

And if Ted is somehow doing God's work, how he is accomplishing that by calling people names is a mystery to me.

I wonder that God would do his work via a heavy metal rock band. But God does work in mysterious ways.

If I were sitting in a room with that prick and having a conversation I would say the following, "Ted. Because you were a coward and crapped in your pants to get out of the military as a youth, you are psychologically overcompensating by demonstrating extreme macho conservative tendencies by threatening people and using bigoted and racist terms. What are you going to do now shoot me? I don't think you have the balls to kill another human being even while provoked to do so. Therefore you can kiss my pink ass."

The author of that article is dead wrong. There's only two things that they'll play in hell - Kidz Bop and an endless loop of the riff from Cat Scratch Fever.

The party of responsibility is at it again. Ted makes some of the most hateful, vile comments known to man and then blames 'the media' for his self-imposed victimhood status.
