Ted Nugent; CNN news report; hunting charge...

[K_Mac]

Nugent pleaded guilty to a criminal act. Tom Servo mentioned the clip of Nugent making his "suck on this, Hilary" remarks. His conduct in both of these incidents, and many others shows poor judgement at best in my opinion. I have seen him interviewed; I've heard his vitriol. He is an embarrassment to many of us who support the 2A, and he does not speak for me. The argument that we have all sinned, and the other side is guilty of more egregious tactics does not make this man an acceptable spokesman for those of us who believe the right to keep and bear arms is best advanced by intelligent, rational, and legal means. We have made real advances in recent years in changing laws and minds regarding the right to keep and bear arms. Gun waving, obscenity screaming, law breaking "rock stars" may work for some, but not for most IMO.

Nobody's perfect!

Well gee, if nobody is perfect, then Nugent being a repeat offender who has broken multiple poaching laws should continue to be embraced for representing gun owners and hunters...all because he is a member of the NRA for a long time and is outspoken? I think no.

He came very close to being a felon with his Obama re-election comments.

I wonder at what point he will lose his CLEO status and truly have to put himself in the position of honestly saying that the 2nd Amendment or Constitution is his carry permit. He likes to say that now, but in reality, since he is a reserve deputy, he has LEO status and gets to carry across the US.

The story is here [latimes.com] . Frankly, there's a difference between hunting and poaching. His actions were irresponsible, and they cast legitimate hunters in a dim light.


There's also a difference between being outspoken on the 2A and screaming frothy confrontational invective, and I wish Mr. Nugent would learn that before acting as our self-appointed spokesperson.

Agreed. Of course if he didn't scream frothy confrontational invective, would anyone remember him?

However, in my opinion, institutions/more serious politicians like the NRA or Romney that involve themselves with him make a serious mistake. Your mileage may vary.

for all of the rabid nugent supporters i suggest you do a litlle research on your hero. it's as easy as doing a little search on the internet.

when nugent could have been a patriot he chose to be a draft dodger. all the details are on the net, look them up.

he was a young fool that has turned into an old fool. the only thing that has remaind the same is he has always thought he was above the law. from dodging the draft to his poaching crimes in california and alaska which were all used to make money for himself he has a lifelong history of thinking he is above the law. he was a one hit wonder that learned that the only way he can keep his name in the public is to be a loud mouth fool. from his documented poaching to further his tv show to his foolish displays with his fully automatic weapons he is neither a role model for ethical hunters or serious supporters of the 2nd amendment. ted nugent is not a leader in these areas he is just a selfish person out only to make money for himself while hiding behind the military that he dodged, the political party that he hated and the nra selfishly just to protect what he has and to hell with everyone else.

people should really pick their heros more carefully.

Dalegribble, Rabid? Rabid gribble? Why that's a lot of dribble, gribble! I guess you're the war hero here aren't you gribble? You seem so angry and unhappy in your little world. Nugent poaches and I like poached eggs. How in the world am I supposed to take someone with your attitude serious?

You don't know who my heroes are, or if I have any. As far as calling me rabid I think that's something you should say to a person's face when you're not hiding. Too many people typing at their computers while in their jammies are not what they present themselves as. Guess you're one of THOSE who have no use for classIII weapons in the hands of anyone other than military, or police. Did I make the wrong assumption? It sure makes me feel good having you watching our backs to make sure our 2nd amendment rights are being protected.

Ted Nugent's free concerts are not free for him. He's paying for his band, roadies, equipment, food and lodging for all. This of course doesn't include the personal donations that he wrote checks out for and last, but not least his time, cause time is money. That shows it costs him to do what he does.

I'd love to see who people think would be a great fighter for the 2nd amendment in place of Nugent. I like Tom Selleck, but he never debates, or is even seen unless it's a photo op holding a rifle. How about Charleton Heston? Sorry forgot he can't speak any longer. Well, anymore suggestions are welcomed. Oy Vay!

You seem to have taken that post as a personal insult.
