Nugent on Hillary and Obama

[gabosaurus]

Hannity obviously did no research on this one. He just likes screamers.

I have no respect for those people who try to make themselves over into something that they are not. If you read further into Nugent's past, you will find out that he was once very anti-gun (being a bow hunter) and anti-government.
To me, it's like Jane Fonda holding "Support the Troops" rallies. The cowardly leopard doesn't change its spots. A man who once mocked and derided Viet Nam vets should not have the right to praise vets of later wars.

Funny thing, the LiveLeak website says, "Ted Nugent threatens Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton during a performance- with machine guns in hand!" Yet, after watching and listening to the video, I heard no threat. WTF?

a liberal lying? I'm shocked.

I used to believe liberal lies. So that makes me unqualified to now be a conservative?

the hypocracy is just unbelievable at times.

They take someone like Kerry who served with honor and exscoriate him because they dont like his views yet will treat a guy who would shit his pants for a week to keep from serving and then make a hero out of him for cheering someone elses kid into fighting.

This is why I pos repped the guy on the right who posted this.

When nugent was getting ready for his draft physical he must have been very lonely.

When I went for my draft physical I never even considered how to get out of it. Or how to make myself unacceptable. Being unacceptable for the military never entered my mind. To me attempting to avoid the draft was cowardly. And still is.

All my friends enrolled in college or anything else they could do to avoid the draft. They all were eventually classified 4F and unfit for the military anyway and their rush to avoid the draft served no purpose. I was the only one to be drafted and go to Vietnam.

For every draft dodger there was someone else that went in his place. And some of those didn't come back. So every dodger has to carry the fact that someone else may have died in his stead.

Yeah well, thanks for the rep and all but, I wouldn't say kerry served with honor. He shot up a rickshaw full of rice and got some ricochetted in his ass, and then demanded a Purple Heart for it. That's kind of chicken shit don't ya think?

If you're a true draft dodger, I don't think you should be allowed to live in this country. If you won't fight for it, you shouldn't be allowed to live here.

.....

Honor by your definition is:
1. Purposely joining an outfit because it was tasked to serve offshore only, in little danger of contact with the enemy;
2. When the task changed, obtaining at least two Purple Hearts over the heads of his commanding officers for injuries treated with nothing more than a band-aid;
3. Immediately upon obtaining a third claiming his "get out of jail card", and only serving 4 months out of a 12 month commitment.

Even if all that is true, shouldn't a man who accepted the call of his country and fought in Viet Nam be held as more honorable that some chickenshit who avoided the draft?

Yes.

Kerry did avoid service, and I assume that you are comparing that to Bush's service in the National Guard, which was served completely, in spite of all Democrat attempts to prove otherwise.

I thought she was comparing it to Nugent. If it was Bush, you are right; the comparison doesn't hold.

[glockmail]

Why would she be referring to Nugent in a thread about Nugent? Douh!

With the continual Bush-bashing that goes on, it's understandable.

There you go, being reasonable again. This is no place for that.
