Conservative rocker Ted Nugent said Sunday on Sinclair’s “America This Week” that those kneeling during the national anthem or protesting with the Black Lives Matter movement are “soulless” and “stupid.” Host Eric Bolling said, “I love hearing the Star-Spangled Banner. Let’s talk a little bit about what’s going on in the country … You see them kneeling when as the song is being played, you see them disrespecting the flag that is on my chest and probably on your arm. What does that do to Ted Nugent?” Referencing the Black Lives Matter “hands up, don’t shoot” slogan, which began in...

<p>Rocker Ted Nugent issued an apology of sorts Friday for referring to President Obama as a “subhuman mongrel” in a published interview with Guns.com. The apology, however, wasn’t a full mea culpa.</p>

There is evil among us. Always has been, always will be. As I write this, in the past four days, a high school assistant principal in Omaha was shot and killed and the principal wounded. Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona and 19 other Americans were gunned down at a constituent meeting being held at grocery store in Tucson. Federal Judge John M. Roll, a 9-year-old girl and several others are dead. A dozen more, including Mrs. Giffords, are gravely wounded. In addition to this slaughter and the gunning down of the high school principals in Omaha, scores of other...

A Ted Nugent concert is 75 percent hard-charging rock 'n' roll and 25 percent a celebration of red-white-and-blue values. At the heart of his message is that our freedom can be taken away if it isn't understood and defended. All Americans should be mindful of that danger this Independence Day. In between rock anthems such as "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Stranglehold," Mr. Nugent hails the United States as the best country on Earth but cautions that American exceptionalism mostly exists despite the government, not because of it. When the universal rights that make America special are threatened by government overreach,...

Ted Nugent speaks off and on during this outstanding Tea Party at The Alamo. His guitar work is as amazing as his conservative views. His riffs while other things are going on, and around other speakers communicates sometimes better than words can.

If the conservative movement is looking for a new standard-bearer, a new champion, I suggest Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert.He's a new hero of mine, the kind of independent Texan who makes the Nugent family proud to be residents of the last best place in the last best place. Unlike Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who wants to toss the second installment of the $350 billion taxpayer dollar bailout at Wall Street and hope that this massive wad of cash sticks and does something positive for the economy, Gohmert, a Tyler Republican, instead wants to give Americans a two-month tax holiday. He...

TEXAS MONTHLY TALKS - TED NUGENT An eloquent statement of the right to defend ourselves.

Back in June, Motor City Madman Ted Nugent said he admires a lot of the 2008 Republican presidential candidates, and especially would-be candidate Fred Thompson. "I really like Mike Huckabee and Tommy Thompson," Nugent told Dennis Miller. "I admire Mitt Romney. I admire John McCain. But to whittle it down right now I really have the Nugent spotlight, and I've been scrutinizing Mr. Fred Thompson. I think he glows a little bit more than those other great gentlemen." Does Thompson think that Nugent glows? And if he does, will he still think so after watching a concert video in which...

- Snip - "That would be beautiful," Nugent said when asked if he would run for governor of Michigan in 2010. "I have threatened to do so and I was sincere." Some of Nugent's antics make even Schwarzenegger's past outspokenness appear measured by comparison. "Michigan was once a great state. Michigan was a state that rewarded the entrepreneur and the most productive, work-ethic families of the state. Now the pimps and the whores and the welfare brats are basically the state's babies." - Snip -

June 24, 2007 -- Hillary Clinton's recent "Sopranos" parody might prove prescient if she ever runs into rocker/gun enthusiast Ted Nugent, as it might not hurt her to have some additional protection. "I think I best summed it up the other night," says The Nuge, "as I held two assault weapons over my head in Burlington, Iowa, and said, 'Hey Hilary - suck on this!!!' to a rather magnanimous cheering. That's me - I'm the consummate entertainer." For Nugent, who brings his blunt force to the Nokia Theatre tonight, such stark expression is the only thing he knows, adding, "If...

Bringing a self-proclaimed extreme right-winger to speak at the University of Wisconsin created a spark that nearly blew the roof off Memorial Union Theater Wednesday night. The conservative student organization Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow hosted a lecture by rock-legend turned political-activist Ted Nugent. Security guards and a police dog were present at the rowdy room filled with Nugent supporters and objectors of all ages. Nugent drew a large crowd from the UW campus and surrounding areas. Tom Talbot, who traveled from Portage to hear Nugent, said the rocker’s blunt opinions were entertaining.

AUSTIN, Texas — As Motor City Madmen go, Jack White and Eminem have nothing on 57-year-old Ted Nugent. The self-described "Rosa Parks with a guitar and a raised middle finger" might be bringing his right-wing politics-on-steroids to the Michigan Governor's Mansion. He's considering a "high-percentage maybe" run for the office. He yells at me his platform, which includes something about "cops that have their legs blown off and soldiers who are in wheelchairs and children with leukemia, who don't get the money because some fat pig welfare brat is sitting on his worthless (expletive.)"

The TV show "Politically Incorrect" often called on Nugent to sit in as a guest when gun and hunting rights or conservationism were under fire. He just got re-elected to a fourth term on the NRA board of directors. VH1 gave Nugent his own reality show "Surviving Nugent" in which seven unsuspecting people endure a Ted-makes-up-the-rules-as-he-goes survival test. He, his four kids (Starr, Sasha, Toby and Rocco) and his wife Shemane produce his "Spirit of the Wild" hunting show on the Outdoor Channel. His writing has appeared in more than 40 publications, including the Detroit News, Stuff magazine and his...

CONCORD, Mich. - The Motor City Madman is officially turning Texan. Michigan rocker and hunting activist Ted Nugent says he plans to get a Texas driver's license soon. Nugent — who said he supports President Bush "100 percent" — said his new home is "right around the corner" from Bush's ranch.

Vote to reelect President George W. Bush! And the Mad Man from Motor City agrees, Cynthia Cassell is the right choice for United States Congress in the 13th District!

Alan Colmes just announced: Ted Nugent will on H&C tonight! (I guess since Donahue was cancelled, the Nuge had some free time!)

May 17, 2002, 11:50 a.m. Last Tuesday, America Now hosts Larry Kudlow and Jim Cramer welcomed rock-and-roll legend Ted Nugent to their CNBC studio. In a fast and loose interview, Nugent commented on guns, hunting, anti-hunting, George Bush, Ozzy Osbourne, Janet Reno, high-protein diets, and his new cookbook, Kill It and Grill It (just reviewed by NRO's James Swan). Here's the transcript of what turned out to be quite an informative and "gonzo" exchange. Jim Cramer: He's a rock-and-roll legend. A maverick who is as well known for the weapons he carries as for the Gibson guitar he plays. Ted...

May 17, 2002 8:45 a.m. Kill It and Grill It, (Regnery, 203 pp., $21.95) Two years ago, Ted Nugent — rock guitarist, writer, hunter, and family-man — penned God, Guns and Rock and Roll, a book of political thoughts and life anecdotes that sped onto the New York Times bestseller list. So how does Nugent follow up such a success? He writes a cookbook, of course. Kill It and Grill It, written by Nugent and his wife Shemane, is a compilation of more than 50 recipes for deer, elk, wild boar, rabbit, bear, wild turkey, duck, squirrel, and more. But...
