What Nug nut Nugent did, was just as bad as what Kathy Griffin did!

Both appalling, but Kathy won't be having dinner with Trump and Sarah! We can carry something to far? But when it is racist or just wrong, it is time change! Kathy apologized, lost a gig and possibly more fall out for her photos. But when did Nugent apologized?

How many times when Obama was President did we see parade floats, etc depicting a lynched Obama?

And the Republicans laughed.

Which is why ISIS video tapes beheadings rather than merely announce them. And its why people are rightly pointing to some of the images of lynchings that were posted online during Obama's presidency.
