Nugent:
He also included a cryptic pronouncement: If Barack Obama becomes the next president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.
Outraged Democrats circulated the remarks and suggested they were threatening. Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie confirmed that the agency was looking into the matter but declined to give details. We are aware of the incident and we are taking appropriate follow-up, Ogilvie said.
Nugent said he was simply trying to galvanize voters. The hard rocker, best known for 70s hits like Cat Scratch Fever, is a conservative activist and has a history of heated and sometimes vulgar criticism of Obama. Nugent endorsed Romney after speaking to him last month.

(508 posts)4. It's one thing for Ted Nugent to say such things.
It's another thing entirely for the GOP presidential nominee to say them.
Has there been one peep about this from Ryan, McConnell and the gang?
