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.

Mr Nugent — I still think highly of you even though you are a little too exteme. Not many anti-leftists are even close to that wacko. You are a rare one, and don’t cobble US with your freakish extremes. You owe your anti-leftist fans an apology. Please man up and do it.
