AUSTIN, TX -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday condemned inflammatory remarks by Ted Nugent that resurfaced when the outspoken rocker this week joined Republican Greg Abbott's gubernatorial campaign.

Nugent was quoted in an interview with Guns.com last month as calling President Barack Obama a "subhuman mongrel." He appeared with Abbott during two campaign stops Tuesday, a decision that Democratic opponent Wendy Davis called "repulsive."

Perry said on CNN's "Situation Room" that Nugent making outrageous comments shouldn't surprise anyone. But he condemned his language about Obama.

"I got a problem calling the president a mongrel. I do have a problem with that," said Perry, who is not running for re-election. "That is an inappropriate thing to say."

Why do these dumbass Republicans ALWAYS let the press and the dems tell them what they should do. Idiots all of them. Ted is right of course.

[Leroy S. Mort]

Just repeating Obama's own words.

Ted Nugent Rocks!!!Gov. Perry, for your sake, don’t diss Ted.

[Jane Long]

Someone should tweet that to Ted Nugent. He wasn’t making it up:)

[South40]

Still waiting for Obama to apologize to us Tea Party members for calling us “Teabaggers”

Odumbo, like many other libs, says publicly that being gay is A-OK. But he'll gladly use a gay reference as a pejorative when he is seeking to disparage conservatives. The pro-gay left should call him on that hypocrisy. But they won't.

Okay,.....he’s not sub-human.

[bgill]

Perry is sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong.

[South40]

Ah yes, the LA Raza Rick fan club. Those who are so delusional they believe their man conservative when his liberal record screams otherwise.

Harry Reid tried to pass the DREAM Act, conservatives condemned him. Rick Perry passes his own version of the DREAM Act and he's Mr. Wonderful. Incredible.

[Grams A]

So maybe he wished Ted would have just told BO “Adios mo fo”?

[berdie]

Frankly...Nugent is nothing more than a musician.

This whole thing is a tempest in a teapot. I don’t see this kind of uproar when the Dems campaign with Communist entertainers.

[Secret Agent Man]

yeah it degrades mongrels. and subhumans.

[DesertRhino]

My dog is a mongrel. Loyal, smart, and awesome. She has none of the attributes of an,,, “Obama”.

[RJS1950]

My daily assessment of the mongrel dictator is a lot less cordial or repeatable.

[Norm Lenhart]

Hes just doing his part for the GOPe’s ‘Hands off Obama” campaign. Which comes as no shock to anyone that ever paid the least bit of attention to where the guy’s actual priorities lie.

Lets face it. The GOP wants nothing to interfere with the ascendancy of Hillary to the throne. And such ‘harsh language’ might just help people wake the hell up.

Can’t have that...

[MuttTheHoople]

I agree. It’s disgraceful for good-hearted loving Mongrels with Barky the DogEater.

[VerySadAmerican]

People like Nugent should be pointing out the “teabagger” remarks. Perry and company sure won’t.

[Sarah Barracuda]

And I dont remember anyone in the media demanding that Martin Bashir be fired for the disgusting things he said about Sarah Palin, heck the entire crew on MSNBC should have to apologize for the nasty things they say about Republicans daily, but do they have to apologize, of course not

“That’s Ted Nugent,” says Gov. Rick Perry, shrugging off “subhuman mongrel” comment

....."Gov. Rick Perry today shrugged off the controversy over rocker and gun rights activist Ted Nugent’s description of the president as a “subhuman mongrel.”

“That’s Ted Nugent…. That’s just Ted. Anybody that’s offended – sorry, but that’s just Ted,” Perry said after a breakfast appearance before the Texas State Society. “I don’t take offense, no. If we would spend a whole lot more time talking about how to create jobs instead of trying to pick apart people’s descriptions of somebody, we’d probably get a lot further along in life.”"..............
