So when's the media going to give Ted Nugent the Bill Cosby treatment?

His numerous underage sexual romps from the same era are fair game. Hell, he bragged about them as recently as the early 2000s.
He even has a Janice Dickinson-type celebrity accuser, too - Courtney Love, who says she performed oral sex on the Nuge when she was only 12 years old..
Any interview he does with the press should begin and end with his pedophilia, regardless of the topic agreed to.

This guy's gotten a pass for too long.

They somehow manage to excuse everything he's done.

I reported for my draft physical the same year Nugent did. The difference was that the other guys had no problem sitting next to me, and I was called names when I got back from Vietnam while he became a rock star by not going and everybody seems to overlook his disgusting behavior. Makes you wonder...

That mental image is so far beyond disgusting. TWELVE YEARS OLD. If that is true, and he let a CHILD do that... A CHILD... what parent in the world, however Republican, could possibly excuse him?

Cosby, like some of the TV hosts from the UK, was for decades a respected family entertainer. That's where the intrigue comes from; Nugent is respected only by a militant fringe for no other reason than he hates President Obama. Depravity on his part would come as no surprise.

To them, he can do no wrong. Perhaps Bill O'Reilly put it best...

space of a few days. That might sound a tad hyperbolic, but the idea of drugging a number of women into a state of unconsciousness and raping them is a pretty horrific allegation.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease. You have to go all out and maybe it will get in the news.

Rockers like Nugent are expected to engage in that sort of behavior.

Cosby's image is totally the opposite.
