Ted Nugent is a nasty, vicious human being, who has far less worth than the animals he regularly slaughters just for the fun of it.  Nugent, a member of the board of the National Rifle Association (NRA), recently made the news for indirectly threatening the life of President Obama.

He is not only a rabid republican but he is also a passionate hater of all things liberal.  He has uttered threats and roundly criticized the OWS movements, along with the government of the United States.  His big mouth and powerful friends didn’t protect him from the law however, as this Newser story summary points out:

More gun fun with the Motor City Madman. Ted Nugent has agreed to a $10,000 fine for illegally shooting and transporting a black bear in Alaska in 2009, according to a plea he signed with prosecutors there, reports the Anchorage Daily News. In addition to the fine, Nugent will produce public service messages to air on his television program, Spirit of the Wild, be banned from hunting in Alaska or on any US Forest Service land for one year, and be placed on probation for two years.

The problem came on a hunting trip to Tongass National Forest in May 2009 when Nugent wounded one black bear with an arrow, then shot and killed a second bear four days later, exceeding his bear quota and making the second bear illegal. (All of it aired on TV.) Nugent’s lawyer called the law “crazy” and said Nugent’s arrow only “touched” the first bear, so lightly the bear did not leave a blood trail as it got away. He noted that Nugent has hunted in Alaska for years and was not aware of the new law, which is less than five years old.

There are people in this world who are just bad and I suspect Ted Nugent qualifies as one of them.  What do you think?

Ted might enjoy the cruel and easy hunting that baiting, hounding, and trapping bears provides, but Maine does not. Tell Ted to step down as the spokesperson for a group opposing fair chase hunting. http://fairbearhunt.com/tell-ted

He’s already bitching and moaning about this and the fact that the commanders of Fort Knox have uninvited him to some memorial for the troops that PO will be at. Of course, chicken hawk is squawking that PO is the one that got him barred from the ceremony, not that he was threatening bodily harm like a stochastic terrorist does. Idiot still being an idiot and irrelevant, makes him a perfect fit for the GoOpers and paste eaters that trudge along willingly behind them, picking up elephant shit.

He’s a chickenhawk cowardly asshat, and I think he should be forced to run through a lion pride, naked, after being rolled in bacon grease.
