re: #49 Killgore Trout

Once again: he denounced the statements immediately with the force that was warranted at the time, and he distanced himself from Wright, while not throwing him under the bus as a person, which the way a decent person would do it, since although Wright’s “Goddamn America” comments were inflammatory and wrong, they were hardly downright evil when put in context of both the larger speech as well as plight of blacks in the US. It would have stayed this way too, had not Wright acted like a total punk and begin his weird speaking tour, ending in the infamous press-con.

Nugent’s statements are not anywhere close to Wright’s. They’re an indirect threat to the President.
