TED NUGENT CONTINUES BEING A BIGOTED ASSHOLE
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 at 2:02pm by Vince NeilsteinTed Nugent once again proved he is a completely deranged, bigoted asshole in a recent video interview with LiveLeak. Ted had some very unkind words about certain Democrats and their gun control policies, and had this tender nugget of wisdom to share:
“Who would not want a cop to be armed every place? They’re trained to serve and protect. You can’t stop a bad guy with a middle finger and a bag of quarters. I want warriors to be able to have the tools necessary to stop evil.”
Who would not want a cop to be armed in every place? I’ll tell you who, Ted. Two words:
Sean Bell.
The 6 police officers acquitted of firing 50 bullets at an unarmed man the night before his wedding in Queens last year ought to be jailed and stripped of their badges for life, not acquitted of all charges. You, Ted, are a danger to society, not Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton.
-VN
Right on, Vince! People like Ted love to pretend there’s this huge, insatiable race of “evil” criminals, soulless at birth, bent on menacing humankind. And gunfire is the only antidote. Just say it, Ted: “Kill the poor. Kill the non-Whites.”
A Little Gun Control History Lesson.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind him of this history lesson.
With Guns………..We Are “Citizens”.
Without Them……..We Are “Subjects”.
During W.W.II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Peal Harbor had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attaché to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the country.
It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion
of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.
If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all your friends
Ted Kennedy is a danger to society, he proved it on Martha’s Vineyard in 1969
im with fabulous, gun control takes guns out of law abiding citizens hands and allows criminals a utopia of defenseless victims. Fuck Gun Control!
You’re ignoring pretty much every example of successful gun control legislation in the modern world.
Japan has some of the most strict gun control laws on the planet, and also one of the lowest murder rates. Almost every European country also has stricter gun control laws than we do, and considerably lower murder and violent crime rates. Gun control measures have been proven to be extremely successful when properly implemented.
Honestly, I don’t think we should be taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding, registered owners. The problem is the ease with which firearms are transported, sold, distributed, etc within this country. For fuck’s sake, I have a friend who, after the assault weapons ban expired, went out and bought himself an AK-47, which was then stolen. Who the fuck knows who has it now. How can that make you feel safe??
Hey without Ted, we wouldn’t have the Ted Kennedy memorial biathlon! And most of us on the Vineyard consider Chappy a separate island. Besides, killing summer folk is kinda a sport to us.
Addendum: This argument far too often becomes about which side you’re on. Pro- or anti-gun, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat. The truth is, the issue is a whole lot more complex. The main issue I have with fabulous!’s post is that it’s polarizing, oversimplified, and absolute pro-gun.
As though things were ever that simple.
Actually, the reason why the Japanese crime rate is pretty low is because they all pretty much have respect for each other… I mean the Yakuza?!?!?! Wussies!!! Granted I’m sure a bunch of them are hardcore and organized, but nothing like the movies and media portray.
Also, the crime rate may be lower than a lot of other countries but a lot of messed up stuff still happens.
Korea is one country that don’t allow the general public to carry fire arms, actually the cops don’t carry them either, they just carry really big sticks! From what I’ve observed only the military carry any type of fire arms.
Anyways, I’m with fabulous and fink. Law abiding citizens shouldn’t have a problem owning a piece or two!
I listened to the interview. He’s pro gun rights in the interview, which you may or may not agree with, but I didn’t hear him mention race. He may be asshole I’ve never heard him be a racist or bigot.
For someone who talks about guns, morality, the ten commandments, hunting will make kids grow up not gay, ect, how does Ted Nugent not get called out every single time he opens his mouth about
“whats good for the nation” in regards to ANYTHING that the man is fucking pedophile? Seriously? why does NO ONE ever mention that? From operation awareness:
“When Nugent turned 30, in 1978, he began a relationship with a 17-year old Hawaiian girl, Pele Massa, and became her legal guardian to comply with laws pertaining to relationships with minors. This was covered in VH1’s 1998 Behind the Music featuring Nugent, and included an interview with Massa.”
So he became the girls adoptive guardian so he could fuck her and not get arrested. Fucking pedo.
The Japanese have a low murder rate because of their culture and the honor code that is imbedded in their society and language. It has nothing to do with them being disarmed. After spending over a year their, I have learned that they could be the most racist and xenophobic societies on this earth. Look what they did to the other Asian countries in WW2, or search “bushido code”.
The right to bear arms and defend yourself against aggression or oppressive government is something you are born with and is not given to you by any man made document or law. Our forefathers knew this and it is sad that Congress shits all over the Constitution every day. Which word in the phrase “Congress shall make no law”, don’t they understand.
Yeah, confused on the bigot word there Vince. I’ve seen many speeches by Ted Nugent and yeah he seems like a wack job, but I’ve never once heard him refer unkindly to any race or creed. Where is the “bigot”‘d remark? Or, are ALL gun nuts bigots? Maybe all hicks? I get it Vince, us hick crackers gun-lovers are just racist morons, right?
I don’t know that I buy the cultural “honor code” argument; no matter your code of honor or system of morality, murder is about as close to universally “wrong” as you’ll find. Those who commit murder do not abide by social, cultural, or state law, which is kind of the point. To argue that it is somehow “more wrong” to commit violent crime or murder someone in Japan than it is anywhere else in the world seems a bit absurd to me.
I also haven’t heard any arguments against the success of European policies. I’m curious what the arguments there would be.
I wouldn’t know anything about Europe’s policies. I live in Japan, so I have an idea of what’s going on around here. And the statement that macsox said about the japanese being racist and xenophobic; well that’s partially true, not all Japanese feel that way, but it is pretty rampant. We’re gaijin or coco-gaijins to a lot of ‘em.
Regardless of how you may feel about his “political views”, the fact remains that Ted is a loudmouthed retard whose shitty musical legacy more than speaks for itself. Anyone who was actually in Damn Yankees ought to be a bit more…humble, IMO. If he truly wishes to stop evil, he’ll put away his guitar for good & burn his entire back catalog as well. Then he’d be really helping humanity.
I agree with Ted in that all cops should be armed, all the time. Establishing a gun control policy now would be utterly retarded. Our country is infested with them. The bad guys would have them, and the good people would not. Besides we have the right to bear arms. And if we fucking didn’t, we would be drinking tea right now.
But man, Ted looked like a fucking nut job getting his point across.
I don’t vote because we are not given a chance to vote for a real candidate. I would vote if Ted was on the ballot. This country is headed down the shitter faster than you can say Wang Dang Sweet Poontang. You can take away my REGISTERED guns but i will still have access to guns, so how will this gun control thing work?
This is probably the moment this site jumps the shark for me and i stop reading. Nuge may be overzealous with the hunting and the guns, but i respect the right for law abiding citizens to bear arms.
I’m confused with your argument. you’re against cops having guns? yeah, that’ll go well.
The Sean Bell thing was a clusterfuck, no doubt, but it wasn’t a clear cut situation. Also the judge decided they were INNOCENT of any wrong doing.
ted nugent owns
I’m all for people repeatedly slapping Ted Nugent. The guy is a complete idiot.
But Hitler was a great bowler. Doesn’t mean I hate bowling because of it.
I’m pretty Progressive, but I have yet to hear one good argument for gun control. Just one. Hasn’t happened.
I own a handgun as well as hunt and come from a family of policemen. No one needs a fucking assualt rifle! but when I go to work 3rd shift, 15 miles away, leaving my wife and 3 daughters home with my watch dog tied up in the back yard and hunting dogs penned up behind the garage there is no one going to get there fast enough to protect them if someone should dare break in. But the presence of my .38 special gives me a little more peace of mind as my wife works at a prison and is a tough country girl who will protect herself and our children if need be. If anyone remembers the movie Red Dawn: the first thing the invaders did was find out who had all of the guns to remove their resistance. Ted may be a knucklehead but sometimes the knuckleheads are right about a few things. I mean BONO annoys the shit out of most of us but alot of the shit he’s into is the right thing to do.
Uh – it was only 3 cops, but that’s ok.
Ted’s an idiot. Strip those cops of their badges for sure.
I’ll stay out of the debate here, since I don’t feel like getting riled up. What I will say is that I fucking love reading and/or watching interviews with Nugent. Just hearing him talk is entertaining whether I wildly disagree with him or not.
I live in Canada where gun control isn’t really a huge concern because we don’t feel the need to run around shooting each other. Please don’t get me wrong , I’m not saying that ALL Americans are gun-totin’ rednecks but theNuge and his ilk would be laughed out of Canada!
Maybe the Janes Addiction song “Ted Just Admit It” was really written for the Nuge – it sure fits his image!
I agree 100% that the Sean Bell incident was an absolute travesty. It was a tragedy in every sense of the word, and the case deserves greater and more widespread scrutiny, to put it mildly.
That being said, I can’t find any fault in what Ted says. As he states, sending two unarmed cops to respond to an armed robbery? Ludicrous. We live in a society where, like it or not, criminals have guns. Duly-appointed and appropriately trained law enforcement officials should at VERY least have access to the same resources as the criminals they face.
There’s absolutely nothing bigoted or asshole-ish about what he said. Your inference was obviously biased and you tried to pull a fast one on us and make a huuuge stretch and put a typical liberal twist on the point he was trying to make. Cliche as fuck. Not to mention misleading.
I am a police officer in the third most dangerous city in the United States, Flint MI. I have noticed that alot of people involved with gun debates have no first hand experience. I have taken at least over a hundred guns off of the streets. I have yet seen a legal gun used in a homicide. This goes for the assault rifles as well. I have seen first hand good citizens stop crimes with legal handguns. I own several different guns. I think it would make my job alot easier if the law abiding citizen did carry a firearm. The assault rifles that I have seen are also no different then the average hunting rifle. They fire the same round at the same rate of fire. I am against gun control. I can say this even when this affects me more then the average citizen. As far as I’m concerned, Keep up the good work Ted.
[...] two other things I found kind of odd. Tony gets a good laugh about Ted Nugent’s offer at the time to buy the elevator music company Muzak so he could destroy it, without [...]
I think his view are stupid and not much use to anyone except those who harbor the same fears and phobias as he does..
ted is a dewschebag. i have to wonder about the sincerity of a man who threatens he will “gut” and “gun rape” minorities and anyone who disagrees with his fanaticism, when the guy got himself out of going to vietnam by peeing his pants – LITERALLY PISSING IN HIS BVD’S IN FRONT OF THE DRAFT BOARD.nice trick ted and i bet you had laughs for years about that. now that ted is a political animal though, he wants you to kill and die for him again. I suspect much of his mouth flapping has to do with keeping his name on the front page – of something. ted always went for the lowest common denominator in his pitch and when it was all loin cloths, teen aged bimbos and rock n roll, i had some respect for the guy. not anymore.
