....to understand why people think he's a big ol' douche.
Conservative rocker Ted Nugent on Tuesday responded to the news that an Idaho Native American tribe had canceled one of his upcoming concerts by lashing out at the “unclean vermin” who made it happen.
“The Motor City Madman” had been schedule to perform for Couer D’Alene Casino in Worley, Idaho on Aug. 4 until the Southern Poverty Law Center caught tribal officials by asking for a comment on Monday. Later that day, the performance had been canceled.
“I take it as a badge of honor that such unclean vermin are upset by me and my positive energy,” Nugent told Gannett Wisconsin Media on Tuesday. Put your heart and soul into everything you do and nobody can stop you. Sometimes you give the world the best you got and you get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you got anyway.”
“By all indicators, I don’t think they actually qualify as people, but there has always been a lunatic fringe of hateful, rotten, dishonest people that hate happy, successful people,” he continued. “I believe raising hell and demanding accountability from our elected employees is Job One for every American. I am simply doing my job.”Raw Story
Earlier this year, Mr. Nugent went on Erin Burnett's show and pledged that he was no longer going to engage in name-calling.......Yeah, that didn't last very long.
ReplyDeleteYep...no surprise there. Although Erin is my CNN crush.
DeleteYeah, for me it's between her and Brooke Baldwin. Too close to call as they say.
DeleteGood call on Brooke. I'll stick with Erin....then we don't have to fight over one. Perfect!
DeleteWait. Why did they cancel it? What am I missing? If they slammed him and then canceled him, why not criticize back? Though his criticism is insulting and lowlife. "unclean vermin"? They've pulled a lot of successful money scams on our gov't but they're not UNCLEAN VERMIN. And please don't be offended; it's true about the money and I'm a huge Native American admirer, other than that.
ReplyDeleteAnd who elected Nugent to what?
That's the point. The tribe cancels the concert due to Nugents lowbrow and profane tirades....and he responds with a lowbrow and profane tirade. He's a pant pooping man-child.
DeleteBeing elected or unelected is no measure of being a dick. Similar to criticisms of media and acting personalities.....Nugent is not above being called out for his actions.
