A new video is trending on the InterTubes that features Oscar-winning actor Samuel L. Jackson in a parody of the bestseller “Go the F**k to Sleep” by Adam Mansbach. The video follows Jackson and a young girl warning her family that this election is too important to become complacent. It’s not safe for work, and also hilarious.
So queue up the right-wing outrage over a liberal from Hollywood unleashing a string of (bleeped) profanities. The conservative blogosphere is aghast at this display of uncivil language.
Which is funny because they absolutely worship Ted Nugent when he does it. Here is a video of him threatening President Obama, and Senators Boxer and Feinstein with machine guns while calling them “piece[s] of shit” and “worthless whores.”
Nugent: I was in Chicago last week I said, “Hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these, you punk?” Obama, he’s a piece of sh*t and I told him to suck on one of my machine guns. Let’s hear it for them. I was in New York and I said, “Hey Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch.” Since I’m in California, I’m gonna find Barbara Boxer she might wanna suck on my machine guns. Hey, Dianne Feinstein, ride one of these you worthless whore.
And don’t forget that Mitt Romney actively solicited (and received) Nugent’s endorsement for president, but has never repudiated these remarks. In fact, he seems to be completely OK with Nugent’s performance as his surrogate. He never complained about his either:
There’s nothing subtle, creative, or humorous about the way these miscreants communicate their hate. It’s just a load of the sort of vacant bravado that appeals to Republicans. They cheered when bush stood on a mound of rubble on 9/11 shaking his fist at the terrorists, even though he failed to bring them to justice, as Obama did. They admire chickenhawks who advocate for more and bigger wars, but who have never served in the military. Both Nugent and Romney went to great lengths to evade military service. It’s typical of their mind-numbing hypocrisy and, now they present another example of just how detached they are from reality.
All I can say is Nugent calling the President what he called him is a perfect example of projection!!!
“Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land
about their leader with the famous face?
Will you tell them that the reason nothing grows
in the garden anymore
because he wanted to win the craziest race”, XTC.
Is there something earth shattering here?
The reality is that anytime a so called liberal/progressive so much as opens their mouth to take a breath the ‘right’ is there demanding an apology for such a vile and disrespectful act.
While doing so they spew a litany of hate and disrespect , not to mention lies, that everyone else seems to disregard. Why?
At least Newscorpse does try and call them out, but what about the rest of us the rest of the media? Why so silent?
Ted Nugent: I used to listen to him back in the day. He did some pretty rockin songs in his youth, but I guess age and the loss of the limelight did not sit well with him.
Now he’s semi-relevant again which is exciting for him. I’m just not certain why the ‘right’ clings to him though it’s not as if he is that popular these days.
