I agree, and if this were almost anyone other than the Department of Defense, I would have problems with canceling Nugent.
But let's change the situation a bit. What if the Dixie Chicks had been booked to perform at an Army post before they made disparaging comments about a Republican President? Would we not say that MWR needs to take a long hard look at the appropriateness of having a major performance by singers who have made recent disparaging comments about the Commander in Chief? Most of us would say the difference is Nugent is right and the Dixie Chicks were wrong, but unlike us, the Department of Defense can't get involved in politics.
My guess is Ted Nugent knew there would be consequences to his comments and made them with the full intention of using his national reputation to get widespread attention for his criticism of President Obama.
The old saying is often true in the entertainment world: “There's no such thing as bad publicity.” I'm guessing Nugent is quite happy to see that MWR’s cancellation of his appearance had resulted in his comments about Obama getting even more attention.
