Just when you thought you’ve heard it all, the sickening blather of the right-wing nuthouse crowd manages to scale to new heights of idiocy and hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

Following one of the most horrific mass murders in this nation’s history, Republicans have rushed to the TV cameras and talk radio mics to blame the Newtown massacre on the absence of God in the classroom, the violence of video games, and\/or too few firearms in the hands of teachers. The call for turning your child’s faculty members into an elementary school SWAT team has come from GOP leaders, congressmen and NRA spokespersons.<\/p>\n

Now Ted Nugent, not surprisingly, has joined the fray. Nugent is on the board of the NRA and has a long history of worshiping weaponry. He was the host of a Discovery Channel special called “Ted Nugent\u2019s Gun Country”<\/em> (which Discovery just announced<\/a> will have no further episodes). In his latest column for the “Moonie”<\/em> Washington Times, Nugent, of all people, blasted what he called a “culture of contempt.”<\/em> Adding that…<\/p>\n

“The ugly and dangerous truth is that we live in an embarrassing, politically correct culture that exalts and rejoices in the bizarre.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I couldn’t agree more. And Nugent is the perfect example of what is most embarrassing and bizarre in our culture. For Nugent to criticize the alleged contempt in society is something like Hitler criticizing anti-Semitism. Nugent is the guy who recently said…<\/p>\n

\"Ted<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

“I vow that I will use our freedom to get these dirty c*ck-suckers out of the White House. The president is a bad man. The vice president is a bad man. They\u2019re all bad people. If you don\u2019t get that, you\u2019re a dead motherf*cker.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And…<\/p>\n

“If Barack Obama becomes the President in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And…<\/p>\n

“I was in Chicago last week I said, ‘Hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these, you punk?’ Obama, he\u2019s a piece of sh*t and I told him to suck on one of my machine guns. Let\u2019s 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\u2019m in California, I\u2019m gonna find Barbara Boxer she might wanna suck on my machine guns. Hey, Dianne Feinstein, ride one of these you worthless whore.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now Nugent thinks he can lecture other Americans on morality and virtuous culture? Nugent is a loathsome and hate-filled misanthrope whose wretched perception of reality is tainted by an all-consuming and diseased ego. He has no standing to judge other people or society in general. It is demented souls like his that contribute to what is worst in our society. And we would be far better off if he were to keep the promise he made a few weeks ago about being either dead or in jail. The sooner the better, Ted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
