Nugent, after GOP shooting: No more ‘hateful rhetoric’
The Washington Times ^ | June 15, 2017 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 06/15/2017 8:14:33 PM PDT by Coronal

Conservative rocker Ted Nugent, who once told a concert crowd that Barack Obama should “suck on [his] machine gun,” has had a change of heart about violent rhetoric following Wednesday’s shooting attack on Republican members of Congress.

“I have reevaluated my approach, even though I’m a street fighter,” Mr. Nugenttold WABC radio hosts Curtis Sliwa and Eboni Williams. “I’m from Detroit, we used language in the street. We used certain harsh terms.

“But at the tender age of 69, my wife has convinced me that I just can’t use those harsh terms. I cannot and I will not,” he said. “We have got to be civil to each other.”

“The whole world is watching America, where you have the God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and we have got to be more respectful to the other side,” he added.

Yep. You already have Mark Sanford and Jeff Flake groveling to the media and saying Trump's rhetoric was responsible for this.

Now the media and Dems can play the "both sides need to stop the hate" BS.

I guarantee you within a week the calls for violence and assassinations of Trump are going to continue.

I don’t think we took the HOR, the Senate, the Whitehouse, and the majority of state legislatures and governorships because of our hateful rhetoric. We are where we are because the Democrats have not made a strong case for themselves and we have. We need to continue making that strong case and let them continue acting like petulant children. We need to MAGA. period.

Ted! Conservatives have always "Played Nice"! Liberals have ALWAYS "Played Dirty"! It Has Gone on for years!

Making "Nice" With Liberals Never Works!

“I think the Democratic party is comprised of treasonous baby killers and I absolutely consider myself their enemy.”

tsk, tsk.

Think about it.

“the Right gets shamed and cowered into backing down and thinking the other side will react fairly and honorably as well. They NEVER will!”

Key point.

I hope President Trump has a firm grasp of that.

It’s okay Nuge. Let the new guard take its place. You’ve done your share, and God bless you and yours for that..

It’s time to take names and kick ass, and this new gen is all out of bubblegum. Let’s give em their due.

So Mr. Nugent you are adopting the failed idea that if you just talk nicely to those who want to destroy our American republic they will be nice to you ... that your civility will convince them to change their hate-filled ways toward our country and toward Americans who want only to protect our liberties.

Mr. Nugent you are far too old to be this naive ... to think that the Left will ever consider a patriotic American such as yourself as nothing more than weak ... nothing more than a big, stinking pile of Obama.

And while the Dem/libs are killing in the streets and cutting off head burning down businesses what is suggested we do ?????

Maybe we should talk to them in cooing voices and offer them kool aid and cookies if they are feeling bad BULLSH*T i love my wife with all my heart but im not going to let her emotions shape how i fight someone who wants to wipe out my race, creed, religion, politics and way of life !

I should force myself to be PC when PC is what got us here to begin with once again i say BULLSH*T !

I like ted i really do and he can take this path if he wants to but i don’t see where feminizing yourself to go along get along with those who want you dead is going to do any good .

No matter how many times you tell a puppy they are good and not to piss on the floor they are still gonna piss on the floor it’s the same with liberals they see you as weak and vulnerable they are going to treat you the same way its horrible that 5 republicans got shot its horrible for that matter that anyone got shot period over something we should all be working together on .

i’m watching people all over FOX whining about how we all need to calm down while CNN and MSNBC pelosi and other democrats are blaming this democrat insanity on Trump i guess that makes it trumps fault they were and are mentally unstable to begin with well i agree with one thing because of a SPINELESS REPUBLICAN PARTY this PC insanity has gone way to far it should have been stopped in its tracks many years ago !

This President has spoken the truth at every turn not just some half truth but the full truth and he’s done it well but to hear it from dems and some spineless reps who just want to keep the status quo PLEASE DON’T ROCK THE BOAT ! that’s my parents way of politics and theirs before them “go along to get along” and “don’t rock the boat”

OK rant over

Donald Trump said

“You’re going to win so much your going to get tired of winning”

Guess what you’re winning if they are burning your business down and shooting at you in a ball field or trying to send you to court with absolutely no evidence YOU’RE WINNING !

stop wimping out when we have a president who isn’t wimping out

Teddy i know you love your wife but you need to take the man’s road on this one and set the emotional BS on the back burner fighting PC with PC just gets you a house built on sand right over the sinkhole !

I have to wonder if the days preceding the civil war felt something like this, with Democrats gradually losing their power and influence until they were powerless to resist the policies of Abraham Lincoln and the new Republican party.

Ted needs to take a good look at what these leftist freaks have done to Venezuela. War is coming Ted and you know it. As Led Zepplin once said.

"No Quarter"

Close the door, put out the light.
You know they won't be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don't you know?
The winds of Thor are blowing cold.
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through.
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter.
Walking side by side with death, The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow, The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through, To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path where no-one goes.
They hold no quarter. They ask no quarter.
The pain, the pain without quarter.
They ask no quarter.
The dogs of doom are howling more!

Here is how it works, Ted.

Democrats have their familiars, the Media, professors, talking heads etc, Soros funded hate groups foment all the hate. They are the mouthpieces for the RATS.

The hate spawns vicious attacks like the one at the ball park.

Immediately, RAT House and Senate call for all the hate rhetoric ON BOTH SIDES to stop. This smears the right with the slime that the RATs deserve full credit for and it conveniently ends the focus that should be entirely laid at the feet of RATs and their minions.

Already that vicious cow Pelosi is back to being vicious.

Ted, that means we must avoid speaking truthfully about the “protected”, because TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
