Is Ted Nugent the most disgusting human being in America? Or should that honor go to talk show host Michael Savage. Needless to say both are spokesman for the Republican Party. Savage is all politics though, that is if you consider racism political. On the other hand Ted Nugent is disgusting in all manner of things.
Ted Nugent does not do drugs and alcohol, but admits to an addiction of having sex with underage girls. I suppose that is one of the moral equivalency questions, is it better to have a beer and smoke a doobie watching the game, or statutory rape on a bus? Your call.
How about the joy Nugent takes in killing cats and dogs? Calling Hispanics WETBACKS and African Americans APES? Shooting little black bears out of season? Buying exotic animals to fence in and shoot with machine guns? Sure that is pretty much run of the mill for any NRA member, Tea Party advocate or the Republican Base. The issue that transcends Nugget into that plane of utter disgust is his admission that he he gets erections killing animals. And proud of it.
We have to give The Nuge a bit of slack as he is certainly not the shiniest bullet in the clip. In fact of you take a look at his infamous book, GOD, GUNS & ROCK & ROLL it is impossible to miss the disconnect between Ted and Smart.
The very basis of the book is that guns are not dangerous and that Sarah Brady should be euthanized for saying having a gun in the home is dangerous and causes 5 times the chances of shooting friends, family members or oneself than not having a gun in the home.
The Nuge covers all that in the forward then in later chapters goes on to relate the time he was a small child going to a deer hunt when his Dad’s unloaded rifle went off in the back seat and out the windshield. Then when The Nuge was 10 or so, he was playing with an unloaded rifle in his parents kitchen and it went off through the wall outside. In a much later chapter he tells of the time he was having a shoot and kill party when upstairs his toddler son opened up the locked armory room, opened the locked gun rack, took out an unloaded rifle and fired it off into the floor DOWNSTAIRS. You see the problem I hope. That’s not a head under that cool camo bent cowboy hat, its a Brussel Sprout.
