What would have happen if someone or

a group would have made a statement about G.W. Bush so outrageous,so sub human classed as Ted Nuggent said about President Obama. ...Well that person or persons would probably be still serving a prison term.

These statements by Nuggent is filled with hatred but yet there are no doubt the Teabaggers in Texas are soaking this up and loving it, Governor candidate Greg Abbott is welcoming this guy on stage as a spokesman.

Second clip has Newt defending Nuggent second amendment rights

Slim-Fast has dropped Whoopi Goldberg from its advertising after the comedian made a sexual joke about George Bush.

The Unilever-owned diet food brand acted after Goldberg made fun of the US president at a Democratic fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York last week.

"We should keep Bush where he belongs," Goldberg said, gesturing at her genitals, "and not in the White House."

Slim-Fast said advertisements featuring Goldberg, who is on the Slim-Fast diet, would be withdrawn.

He's like a ChickenHawk McNuggent.
Or more like a ChickenShit McNuggent?

Best not to get caught up in the Outrage Machine. It exists to distract you from the fact that Wolf's and McNuggents paymasters are ripping us all off. They want you to be shocked by these things, because a shocked and outraged nervous system is more susceptible to charms of the advertisements, and less likely to get out there and solve the problems they are causing with their greed.
