Nuge: ‘People Who Hate Ted Nugent Hate Freedom. Trayvon Got Justice’
And people who love Ted Nugent will keep the straitjacket industry in business!
Gun rights advocate and right-wing provocateur Ted Nugent lashed out on Saturday at critics of his recent remarks on race and protesters who are trying to have his Tuesday show in New Haven, Connecticut canceled. The New Haven Register quoted an interview with Maine AM radio station WGAN, Nugent said that slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin was a “gangster wanna-be” who was motivated by “bloodthirst,” and that the teenager got what he deserved.
“People who hate Ted Nugent hate freedom,” the rocker alleged. “Trayvon got justice.”
Martin said that Martin’s violent tendencies were to blame for the escalation of his confrontation with George Zimmerman. He also accused the teen of racism for calling Zimmerman a “cracka.”
Nugent called a group of petitioners who want his August gig at the nightclub Toad’s Place in New Haven canceled “subhuman numbnuts.” He said that the Obama administration and Department of Justice under Attorney General Eric Holder are “just bad people,” although, he said, it “pains” him to have to say so.
What pains me is that lunatics like Ted Nugent are regularly given a platform to spew their rancid bullshit. Yeah, yeah, I know, ratings…but still. Has the media no deceny?
Don’t answer, because I know…*sigh*
