The Motor City Madman is once again, as he likes to call it, “raising hell.” This time, The Nuge caught the ire of the mainstream media for posting a viral video to his Facebook page.
The video is a sophomorically edited clip from a CNN Democratic debate that depicts insurgent candidate Bernie Sanders gunning down the party’s frontrunner Hillary Clinton with a handgun (see video above).
Ted posted the video to his Facebook page this week with a caption, “I got your guncontrol right here bitch!”
Both Media Matters and MSNBC were quick to report on the story, noting that Nugent is a “board member of the NRA” and will deliver a speech at this year’s annual meetings and exhibits in downtown Louisville.
“I can appreciate why it’s tempting to ignore Nugent’s nonsense,” chided Steve Benen of MSNBC. “As entertainers in the public eye go, we’re talking about a guy who hasn’t had a hit single since the Carter administration, so it’s safe to say his cultural relevance has faded into obscurity.”
While Nuge may not have the cultural clout he once did, he still has a faithful and sizable following. To give one an example, on Facebook Nugent has 2.8 million followers. By comparison, Media Matters has approximately 500,000 followers and MSNBC has approximately 1.4 million followers.
So, regardless of whether one likes The Nuge or his political musings, there is one thing that is impossible to deny, when Ted talks, people listen.
VID COOL….ted ? you got the right ( at least – as of today ) to perform as you do….so….( someones got to do it ….. and I WONT – CANT ) sooooooo the show is all yours….. ” T E D ! ! you`re ” O N ” by the way ….. I feel the worst that can happen is still in front of us….and I suspect the conclusion is already clear……nibble by nibble……little by little….. WE as 2nd amed. followers are certainly D O O M E D ….. WE DONT HAVE THE $$$$$$$$$$$$ TO COMPEATE WITH THE A N T I ` S…..HOPELESS IS OUR DRIFT…… DISARMAMENT IS OUR FUTURE…. ( I`m lucky…..I`m 68 so I won`t be around for the final solution ) it won`t be pretty but $$$$$$$$$$$ does ALL the TALKING…..and we can only wimper….sad…very sad….
So, MSNBC thinks that only currently popular entertainers (circus monkeys) have valid political opinions, eh? Personally, I wouldn’t assign much value to a circus monkey’s opinion about anything, including brands of bananas. I certainly don’t value the opinions on main stream media hacks.
Couric and Bloomberg, that is two of a kind, both are ROTTEN TO THE CORE. Couric has always been a liberal idiot that was difficult to tolerate. There is no doubt at this point that she is very biased and reports the news in such a way that her bias definitely shows very clearly. It is even much worse that she is a comrade of Bloomberg who is a billionaire who thinks he can use his money to control American citizens and obtain a mis-interpretation of the Second Amendment in order to disarm American citizens who have had Constitutional personal protection for over 200 years. The Second Amendment had high priority to the Framers of the Constitution and has always been considered a protection for the First Amendment. She has now been influenced and controlled to a point by Bloomberg to bias the news in both sound and video to give a strong impression that pro-Second Amendment people do not understand what they are supporting. There is no doubt at this point that she is very biased and reports the news in such a way that her bias and influence by Bloomberg definitely shows very clearly. It is even much worse that she is a comrade of Bloomberg who is a billionaire who thinks he can use his money to control American citizens and obtain a mis-interpretation of the Second Amendment in order to disarm American citizens who have had Constitutional personal protection for over 200 years. The Second Amendment had high priority to the Framers of the Constitution and has always been considered a protection for the First Amendment. It is a fact that the LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA is assisting a LIBERAL GUN CONTROL BLOOMBERG to change the Second Amendment to disarm Americans and try to end the input from Ted Nugent.

Hitlery Clintorous and husband are Communist progressive liberals, globalists and domestic enemies of we the people and our Constitution. It is their desire to destroy the u.s. of A and make it a third world country and enslave us. In my opinion the video depicts what should happen to all those progressive liberal Commies who think and act like the Clintons. I and millions of other patriots definitely would not shed a tear if her fate were a shot to the head.
If EVERYONE open or at least conceal carried, OUR nation wouldn’t be so upside down and backwards because those that have forced such upon WE THE PEOPLE never would have gotten nearly that far before they would be corrected real time, on the spot. Of course OUR cemeteries might be a lot fuller, but OUR nation and OUR world would be both safer and nicer places to live because of it. I’m not one to argue against or oppose nicer and safer.
Nugent publicly vowed to be “dead or in jail” if Obama won the 2012 election. It would be better for all pro-gun, pro-2A supporters if either were so, and he could no longer present his sophomoric idiocy as a spokesperson for America’s gun owners.
Our cause (restoring the 2nd Amendment as the only “gun control legislation” in American law), requires the support of moderate gun owners, fence sitters, and the undecided either way. Reactionary, bombastic, over-the-top rhetoric will not endear we 2A supporters to these people, and if we don’t necessarily need them to vote in our favor, we sure as hell don’t need them to vote against us.
Fade away, Nugent.
Although I like Ted, and he cracks me up, this is absolutely true and something all 2a advocates need to think about. We won’t win by sheer force, we need to sway people our way who are not nearly as hardcore about these things as we may be. Never forget that!!
Really? I got news for you. We aren’t winning jack shit and have not been since the 1930’s. The bullshit that’s been forced on all of us since is not acceptable to anyone who can read the simple text of our nations highest law. If you think allowing these Communists and treacherous politicians to continue undermining, and chipping away at our rights, while we try to elect individuals who will respect, and continue respecting them, you’re a fool. The times we’re in demand a solid, unwavering, zero tolerance policy of reversing the tyranny, and treachery that’s already taken place, and ensuring through a meaningful understanding that anymore infringements will be met with the necessary force required to shut it down and punish the perpetrators. I’m all for whatever has to happen in order to implement this. But I can’t do it alone. You need to stand up for your rights too, or we all lose em.
Kalishnikov Dude
We ARE winning “jack shit”, and have been, over the last 30 years. Take a look at a map of states that didn’t allow concealed carry or were “may issue” states in 1976. Compare it to the same map today. Likewise, for the 1st time since there was a national park system, Americans can lawfully carry concealed in the parks. There has been progress, incremental though it seems to the angry, and it was achieved slowly, deliberately, and through legislation , not “with necessary force required to shut it down and punish the perpetrators”. That kind of windy, arrogant bluster is exactly the sort of thing that gives ammo to the left’s rhetoric on gun control.
Take a deep breath, friend, and realize that what you are proposing involves armed confrontation with fellow American citizens – law enforcement personnel, National Guard weekend soldiers who work, play, raise families, and occasionally follow orders, and plain old citizens who won’t tolerate authoritarian ANYTHING. If you’re fine with that, we’re definitely on opposite ends of the plan.
the “motorcity apologist” will be doing just that in 3-2-1….
Guess who’s getting another visit from the Secret Service….
I love it. Comedic genius. Pause the video and look at Bernie’s face when he pulls out the gun. Nuge scores another one.
Maybe no recent hits but still makes more money than S.H. Blannelberry
Hi ho the dario
sing it high
sing it low
Ding dong the wicked witch is dead….
I liked Elvis and Rolling Stones, lasting power. Entertainers should entertain. Video was in poor taste, some fool might take this as freedom to actually do something like that. Hinckley shot Reagan to impress Jody Foster. Think about it…………
I saw Nugent in concern a couple of years ago. He really doesn’t have anything let that can be called ‘entertaining.’ If it hasn’t been a concert with a bunch of other artists, I wouldn’t have paid to see Teddy.
The NRA should disavow this guy and run away from him as fast as possible.
I laughed out loud…….too funny. I bet the left wingers have their knickers in a knot over this….lol.
The one thing you’re ALL forgetting is Uncle Teds first ammendment rights!! He can say as he wishes according to this country’s Constitution and Bill of rights!! I personally read and listen to anyone’s point of view and make my own educated determinations! Don’t push someone’s rights out the window or next it’ll be your one particular right you support!! I support the Constitution and all its associated components and believe in my heart what we have been fighting for decades is Government over reach and manipulation to support its current aggenda of the times!!
If you let them they WILL DESTROY US ALL !! They are doing a damn good job of it!’ WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!
Give’em hell UNCLE TED!!
I know nothing about Media Matters (execpt of course that media is supposed to report news and not lean to one side [constantly]. Yes MSNBC we know. Sinced I mentioned MSNBC I might as well say that you must be owned body and soul by some flaming liberal that doesn’t know or care what the liberals have done to this country. I happened to think that the vid clip you refer to is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. I wouldn’t advocate anyones death but seeing her in jail is a different matter.
I’ll bet leftist panties all across the fruited plain twisted into tight little knots when this video came out. HAR!!!
Well, this crazy broad, who happens to be running in a race for president of our nation has described Republicans as “the enemy”. This while ISIS has been free to destroy our embassies and kill US ambassadors. She has continually run down American traditions and Americans in general. She is the enemy to freedom and liberty. If she doesn’t like the language people use when they talk about her, she has all the power in the world to change it. She won’t.
Hahaha I’m sure the wimpy liberals are all up in arms about this! Political correctness can go to hell, which is why Trump is doing so well as he is the opposite of political correctness (obviously).
I wonder if Ted goose steps too.
I don’t know about the goosesteps but this is a joke. And I have to say is very funny. You on the other hand ,with your goosesteps have no idea what you are referring to. This joke has a punch line where as her real life joke has you as her punch line.
I heard that Galloway’s panties twisted up in a knot when he saw the video. Now I know that was the truth. HAR!
Larry, Not only did little johnny’s panties get all twisted up in knots but, he gasped so hard that he sucked them right up his ass.
I love how Clinton laughs at first, then say’s this is no laughing matter when the commie laughs.
Sorry, Gentlemen, I care not how many followers Mr. Nugent has. I care less that he’s an in-your-face character. As for his music, well, I’ve never heard any of his songs so I’m not qualified to speak on that topic. But I am a NRA member, as is my wife, and several other family members. I love the Second Amendment and equally share it for the First and all those that follow. This being said, I sincerely believe that Mr. Nugent is a total embarrassment to the organization and to the Second Amendment. It is not the Media matters, MSNBC, Clinton or Bloomberg that concern me either. It is the millions of Americans who may not own a single firearm but are willing to support it because our arguments are better. Mr. Nugent does us no favors in those people’s eyes.
Well stated.
I have to agree 100%, very well said. I am a fan of Ted and actually find his antics amusing. The NRA is a political organization folks and as such should distance themselves from Uncle Ted for the exact reason listed above.
They should get rid of Grover Norquist first.
Anyone who’s curious about Ted Nugent’s music is welcome to look it up. Wasn’t to bad for “psychedelic rock”. Two to look at: 1. Journey to the Center of the Mind, 2. Down on Philip’s Escalator
Mostly I like his stance on the second amendment. It means exactly what is says. No restrictions on ownership and carry of arms. Not just firearms.
I absolutely agree. Ted has said so brilliant things pertaining to gun rights however this sort of thing does not help us at all ……. but is was funny.
You don’t get it!! To bad too as Uncle Ted has actually brought many people into the NRA because of who he is and the way he is to liberals. You must have grown up very recently or are older than dirt not to have heard any of his music. Or if you don’t like like Rock N Roll then I can understand your inability to get it, limp wristers are kind of weak at standing up to 2nd Amendment haters.
All in all though the clip is hilarious except for the fact ….. I wish it had happened!!!!
A nice long STRANGLEHOLD would have been more intertaning but either way it would be a blessing for the united states of AMERICA .
Yea ted that not pc in the new america.
Ted isn’t the problem, the two things you stated are the real problems. “PC” and “New America”
It’s damn funny. I’ve sent it to everyone I know, although I got it a week ago.
I read this short article and then scrolled on down to see the headline of an earlier post, “Ted Nugent Posts Anti-Semitic Meme, Catches Hell For It.”.
Apparently the truth is anti-semitic, and Nuge’s knee-jerk retractment shows that he is in need of a pair. Thats who Hillary takes he marching orders from too. Wango deTango!
When will she become one of the 90?
Lol…I don’t care who you are…that’s funny. Think I’ll watch it again.
But seriously gun violence is bad…lol sorry that’s still funny right there
Mike: No such thing as “gun violence”. You are buying in to liberal speak. There are only violent people who use guns
Fictionalizing a real person being killed is not right, no matter how loathsome that person is. Now creating a video of her in prison, with a strop-on, screwing everybody in sight would be funny, though maybe too realistic.
There was a Hollyweird production fictionalizing the assassination of George W. Bush while he was president. John Kerry made several comments that would now be construed as indicating a willingness to kill the sitting president back then.
All Ted Nugent had to do was say Obama would probably throw him in jail if re-elected in 2012; the Secret Service “interviewed” him afterward and thereby made his point. Also, an Army base where he was scheduled to play later that month canceled his contract for Dissing the Commander-in-Chief.
You ever watch a movie produced by the Hollywood liberals? They kill people on screen all the time and as long as there is a buck n it for them it’s OK but when it’s me protecting my family and their safety then I’m a jerk, a criminal, a killer, (I’ve never killed anyone thankfully) and an evil person because I won’t give up my rights so they can falsely feel safe even though their bodyguards should take care of that for them. Ted can say whatever he wants it’s his right (for now anyway.) Is he over the top? He always has been but he tells the truth and sorry that offends some of you. It doesn’t offend me nearly as much as the lies that the left tells about me and they don’t blink even though they know they are lying and don’t care and neither does the media who is supposed to be above taking sides and only in it for the truth. They haven’t told the truth in forever.
