'I go for walks late at night in high-crime districts, and just hope," says Ted Nugent, gun nut, guitar legend and would-be Michigan governor.
New York Daily News - Home - Ben Widdicombe's Gatecrasher: Nuge shoots off his mouth
Nugent - a four-term NRA director who's a Michigan sheriff and a Texas constable - says he wants to take another shot at the Lansing governor's mansion in 2010.
"I could have won in '06," he said of the election, won by Democrat Jennifer Granholm ("She is not doing an ugly job, but as the perfect woman, she is scrotumless.")
Apart from the sexism and homophobia (gays get likened to drug addicts and devil worshipers), there's also plenty of stuff that wouldn't pass Al Sharpton's smell test. Nuge doesn't like "the pimps and whores and welfare brats" who think they've "got the right to my [money] because Jesse Jackson represents [them]."
"The average person who qualifies under the poverty level in America has [bleep]ing cell phones!" he continues. "And Tommy Hilfiger clothes! And bling-bling! I've seen them ... gold and jewelry and crack and meth! This is poverty?
"A topless grandmother in a sofa surrounded by dog feces? If you're poor, you can't have a dog! You start by eating the [bleep]ing pets! Am I out of my mind?"
Nah. Just another celebrity that can't seem to find the middle, or high ground for that matter. Not that Nugent lies. But shouting out the worst possible example of what you dislike is what loons everywhere do to make a point. Somewhat akin to the tired canard that disliking gays makes one a homophobe. Because liberals fear pretty much everything they imagine that something that isn't embraced is feared rather than merely an object of disgust. After years of trying, I still do not like steamed snails and it has nothing to do with being afraid of them. People are actually allowed to dislike something, you know, but they run the risk of being referred to as a something-phobe because only one opinion counts and that's the moonbat one from the far daft. OR the wingnut one from the far right.
Nuge is a hero to the gun folks, and while I do appreciate the things he does to help preserve the Bill of Rights, in my opinion he simply goes too far. Whoops. Guess that makes me a Nugaphobe. But then again Ben Widdicombe of the Daily News is a hoplophobe*, so we're even.
*hoplophobe: one evincing an irrational fear of guns.
