A Swing And A Miss: Ted Nugent Style

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ted Nugent said he was insulted by the cancellation of his planned concert at an Army post over his comments about President Barack Obama.
Commanders at the Fort Knox, Ky., post nixed Nugent's segment of a June concert after the rocker and conservative activist said at a recent National Rifle Association meeting that he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if Obama is re-elected.
Nugent shows his inability to reason by focusing solely on whether what he said was a threat against Obama.  Of course it wasn't, you simpleton.  It was an outlandish accusation, a false statement at his expense meant to make him look bad and bring attention to Nugent.  It was a misrepresentation of reality that only a rabid anti-Obama nitwit could cough up.

But a threat?  No.

As for being insulted that his concert was canceled, it makes good sense to me.  If Nugent was set to play for the Trump company picnic and he publicly and loudly accused The Donald of something so outrageous it defied logic, you could expect that concert to be canceled.

I guess in Ted Nugent's world, freedom of speech means the ability to lie and not have to answer for it.  It means being able to hurl insults but cry like a little girl when the bill comes due.  All the freedom belongs to him, anyone who opposes him has no rights.  Yeah, sounds like a hypocritical GOP dipshit grabbed the mic again.  Can we shut him up so the big kids can try to fix the country?
