Wango Tango (Ted Nugent supporting Fred Thompson?)

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 Nugent urges "piece of sh*t" Barack Obama to "suck on" a machine gun and then suggests that "worthless b*tch" Hillary Clinton should ride on one?

What would Thompson --- or, say, Fox News, which hosts Nugent often -- be saying today if Bruce Springsteen or some other left-leaning musician had made similarly vicious and threatening comments about a Republican presidential candidate?

And how about you, Sean Hannity? Hannity had Nugent on his Fox show in July to discuss a blog post in which a writer said he had "dibs" on Rush Limbaugh if it ever became legal to shoot him, and that others would be "welcome to" Nugent if they wanted him. Hannity said he took such threats seriously, and he asked Nugent if people who make them ought to be arrested. Nugent's answer: Yes.

"You know, I'm an American. I love all Americans. And I would help any American pursue their dreams and their pursuit of happiness," Nugent told Hannity. "But you find that the left, there's a lunatic fringe on the left that literally are trying to force us to comply to their outline of life. And I find it just reprehensible that they would recommend violence, not to mention murder and shooting people and assassinating people. This is bizarre."

Sounds like little Timmy needs a hug.

I wonder what little Timmy would do if someone threatened his life?

He would take it seriously, as we all would.

Let me say this loud and clear:

I DON’T CARE WHICH CANDIDATE A MUSICIAN SUPPORTS.

Bruce is a left wing Socialist, but I still love his music.

[LibLieSlayer]

Nuge is right... osama needs to suck on one and beast needs to ride one... as in machine gun.To expect Nuge to be politically correct is like expecting ted the swimmer not to attack an open bar and free buffet table!

[SunStar]

"Vicious?" Yes. "Threatening?" Nope.

Up yours, Mr. lefty "journalist" pansy.

[trisham]

Sounds like little Timmy needs a hug.

*************

LOL!!

[Neoliberalnot]

Let us not forget that US senator from Illinois called our soldiers Nazi’s. Ted is a stage actor, the US senator, dirtbag Durbin, is a slimey lawyer politician. This is just one example of the filthy disparaging remarks made by our leaders. Check John Kerry’s comments and forget Ted.

[Natchez Hawk]

Sounds like Teddy needs a brew.

[Past Your Eyes]

One more thing for Fred to overcome.

THey don’t call Uncle Ted a “madman” for nothing. I love the guy.

Nugent is three quarters deaf and half crazy.

That’s why he isn’t supporting Duncan Hunter.

; )

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yeah, poor old lazy Fred with the trophy wife. He may not even do a third term as president if he doesn’t watch himself...

[RedStateRocker]

I’d vote for Ted before I’d vote for any of the declared or undeclared candidates. He’s got bigger stones than even my favorites Duncan or Tancredo.

And he’s never, ever, ever boring.

Damn, beat me to it....

I just watched the tape of the concert, it is hilarious.

O RLY?

Little Timmy must have a deaf ear towards the vicious, vile, and threatening crap that have come out of the left directed toward President Bush or any other conservative.

[ballplayer]

What are they complaining about , He is Only talking about what that Pig was doing in the White House and his pig of a wife was covering for him

[Bommer]

What would Thompson --- or, say, Fox News, which hosts Nugent often -- be saying today if Bruce Springsteen or some other left-leaning musician had made similarly vicious and threatening comments about a Republican presidential candidate?

Hmmm like %0 - Cent calling Bush a "gangsta?. Natilie Maines from The Dixie chicks called "A Dumb F***!

Maybe the Left should just stick to making movies about Bush being assassinated!

She looks like she’s “riding it.”
