This thread is hilarious, I can't believe I ate the... excuse me... I can't believe I read the whole thing. Ted Nugent is so... yesterday. One of my nephews (Michael), more like a younger brother (five years younger) has fallen out with me a couple of times. I am a lib, he is a... certainly not a liberal
I never voted for Clinton, but I saw the agenda against him, and Michael and I talked on the phone several times (me in Ireland, he in Cali) about the impeachment, and then he decided to disown me (sheesh, we use to party together) because I did not agree with him. And the ironic thing is, my brother (his father) is also a lib.
Anyway, Michael shut me down, communications wise. I kept the line open but he would block my emails, while I would get "Nugent rant" emails from Michael. I told my brother that I am trying (this in 1998/99 or so) to keep the channels open.
We made peace at my mom's funeral in 2007.
But he has since taken the hump with me, again, over politics. And he still sends me that damn Nugent BS.
Ted, you are an old act and IMO, never that great of musician.

Well somebody's gotta say it - Ted Nuggie is a negative turd. I don't know why, ask his mama and poppa.
EDIT: No disrespect to Werner Braun.

I don't believe that Ted ever claimed to be GREAT just having fun making some noise...

Funny how you idiots jump all over Ted but have nothing to say about Farrakhan or the direct death threats by the New Black Panthers.
I understand why, but that's why most of you are hypocrites. You only roll one direction and your rhetoric and feigned outrage is totally transparent and weak.
You people are lame. You'll brush off the latter claims as insignificant, I'm sure, which is typical.
Before you reply, just know that you fools are totally predictable.
Keep tryin' though, people like Ted and myself will just greet you with a single-fingered salute. And we really don't give a sh#t what you think!

There all the same
Right wing loons
I think Ted Nugent should be thrown in jail for the safety of all other human life that he may come in contact with
He is a National Security Risk
Like all right wing loons
You should be thrown into a mental hospital, Johnson! You are f*#king crazy.

Ron Anderson, Why do you repeat that hoary myth about returning troops getting spit on? Did you witness that? Did somebody who was protesting the war actually get close enough to a GI stepping off a plane coming home, to physically spit on them? Or are you speaking metaphorically? Did someone maybe huck a poorly timed loogie in the general direction of some military personnel? I really want to know!
I was protesting the war starting in 1965 (at age 10) and never saw or heard of that happening. In fact nobody with whom I spoke ever suggested doing anything remotely resembling that. As far as I can tell, that is a blatant distortion of history in an attempt to portray those who were against the war as unpatriotic.
If you actually witnessed that happening I will change my opinion, but as of now I regard that oft repeated claim as propaganda, not fact.

Uh, I think it's pretty well documented, man. Just because Ron never saw it personally doesn't mean a thing. Look at the history books.

From Snopes.com, the urban myth debunkers
GIs landed at military airbases, not civilian airports, and protesters could not have gotten onto the bases and anywhere near deplaning troops. There may have been exceptions, of course, but in those cases how would protesters have known in advance that a plane was being diverted to a civilian site?
And even then, returnees would have been immediately bused to nearby military installations and processed for reassignment or discharge.http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=2360

And from the Vietnam Veterans Against the War web site
Stories of spat-upon Vietnam veterans are bogus.
Born out of accusations made by the Nixon administration, they were enlivened in popular culture (recall Rambo saying he was spat on by those maggots at the airport) and enhanced in the imaginations of Vietnam-generation men — some veterans, some not. The stories besmirch the reputation of the anti-war movement and help construct an alibi for why we lost the war: had it not been for the betrayal by liberals in Washington and radicals in the street, we could have defeated the Vietnamese. The stories also erase from public memory the image, discomforting to some Americans, of Vietnam veterans who helped end the carnage they had been part of.
The facsimiles of spat-upon veteran stories that are surfacing now confuse the public dialogue surrounding the war. Debate about the war itself and the politics that got us into it is being displaced by the phony issue of who supports the troops. Everyone supports the troops and wishes them a safe and speedy homecoming. It's the mission they have been sent on that is dividing the nation and it is the mission that we have a right and obligation to question.
The "support the troops" symbolism also comes with a hidden agenda, a subtext that is about the anti-war movement. Understandably, the war brings a lot of emotion to the surface and some of that feeling stems from frustration with the economy, a sense of helplessness in the face of large-scale social and technological change, and fear that cherished American values are being lost. For some people, the real war is the war at home and the enemy coalition comes bundled for them in the anti-war movement. The redirection of their legitimate anger about the deteriorating quality of life in America onto peace activists is shortsighted scapegoating that won't solve problems.
The truth is that nobody spat on Vietnam veterans and nobody is spitting on the soldiers today. Attempts to silence opponents of the war with those figments of hostility are dishonest and should, themselves, be banished from our discourse.

My wife once x-rayed a dude that literally had sh#t coming out of his mouth from a terrible intestinal blockage of some sort. Sh#t was coming out of his mouth, this poor guy was so backed up. However, it was not Ted Nugent, as remarkable as that may seem.

Bluering, You read books?? Wow!
Norton, Very well stated!! I like your bike. I used to have one similar - it was a Norton anyway.
RJ, You can put your binos away. If I ever do anything pervy in front of my window, you can be assured you won't need any binos to see the goods!
