The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today condemned a Facebook post by rock musician and gun rights activist Ted Nugent suggesting that prominent Jewish Americans are behind the advocacy for stronger gun control laws.
Earlier today, Nugent shared a graphic titled “So who is really behind gun control?†on his Facebook page. The visual featured thumbnail photos of prominent Jewish Americans, including former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Chuck Schumer, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and several others, with each photo emblazoned with the Israeli flag.
The post was accompanied by a written message from Nugent: “Know these punks. They hate freedom, they hate good over evil. They would deny us the basic human right to self defense & to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS while many of them have tax paid hired ARMED security! Know them well. Tell every1 you know how evil they are.â€
The visual was apparently not created by Nugent, but has appeared in the past on anti-Semitic web sites.
Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO, issued the following statement:
“Ted Nugent has a long history of being an equal opportunity offender. But his latest share on Facebook, making the outrageous suggestion that Jews are behind gun control, is nothing short of conspiratorial anti-Semitism. Regardless of one’s views on gun control, this kind of scapegoating of an entire religious group is completely unacceptable and completely divorced from reality.
“It should go without saying that anti-Semitism has no place in the gun control debate. Nugent should be ashamed for promoting anti-Semitic content, and we hope that good people on both sides of the gun control debate will reject his tactics and his message. We hope that Nugent will have the good sense to remove this share immediately so that it does not spread virally across the internet.â€
In January 2014, ADL spoke out after Nugent made public remarks comparing film producer Harvey Weinstein to Hitler’s chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, charging that Weinstein was out to “destroy the NRA.â€
The truth is Renegade is one the MANY posters filled with Jew Hate here.
A repulsive spectacle.
“..what is disgusting about that? it is the truth.”
It’s a half truth, which is often more misleading than a lie.
First off, most of them don’t support Israel.
Second off, it selects only Jewish liberal idiots for display. While Jewish liberal idiots are odious, they are no less odious than the Gentile liberal idiots, who outnumber Jewish Liberal Idiots 98 to 2.
Third, it groups very conservative Jewish people like myself, who are proud member of JPFO (Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership), which stands with the GAO to the right of the liberal NRA all the time.
Fourth, it links Israel to gun control issues in the USA. Hate to break it to you, while Israel has very strict gun control (due to 20% of our population being savages), Israel has a higher gun-in-home rate than Texas. We keep a select auto M4 and a 9MM (two of each) for my wife an myself. My older daughters have their service Tavors.
Very few American Jews survived or are descendants of survivors the Shoa.
You’re an idiot.
Some people in every demographic support gun control.
I do not, but they have a right to advocate for what they want. It is up to us to make sure they don’t prevail.
The Second Amendment is very important.
People of Jewish ancestry are no better or worse than anyone else, when it comes to this issue.
Those who seek to foster the idea they are, are contributing to something far worse than gun control. It has led to genocide in the past.
Choose carefully how you address issues and groups folks.
Nugent is all ****** **!
Don't worry . . . the muzzies will protect your guns from the dreat bid bad Israelis.
A repulsive spectacle.
When I joined this forum in '99, it was crawling with Nazis. Many posters even used the names of notorious Nazis as their screen names.
There have been purges over the years, mostly after 9/11, but apparently many have been lying low, just waiting for the opportunity to seize an opportunity to attack Jews and Israel.
Unfortunately, since most "conservatism" is based on local/national tradition rather than the One True G-d, I don't see this changing until Mashiach comes.

Bump.
“Gosh Ted, we have lots and lots of non-Jews who want to grab your gun right here in California.”
And every other state in America. Gun grabbing is a LEFTIST position, not a Jewish one !
“It’s a half truth, which is often more misleading than a lie.”
As my dad taught me around 50 years ago....
1/2 truth + 1/2 truth can equal a BARE-FACED LIE.
You r full of shit! Some of my best friends are Jewish and are lost to explain why Jews vote for Democrats! Hillary called them Jew Bastards and got off scott free. I challange you to show where I posted an anti Jewish article azzhle.
Your post is not helping the perception that you lack intelligence.
You r proving that” Stupid is as Stupid does” in your case. IMHO yo should go back to the DU site where you belong.
.
US “Zionists” are not “Israel” by any stretch. (or even pro-Israel as far as I can see)
But they do exist. And so do their equally insane counter-parts.
We certainly are not going to solve this issue here.
Are you using an iPhone? Or can you not spell?
I’ll put a spell on you retard!
