Ted Nugent crapping his pants to avoid the draft shows why we need polls back on DU

[yurbud]

We need to vote for who is the king of the chickenhawks, and while Nugent isn't running for office, his chicken credentials are probably the best ever.

1. j. Edgar Hoover

For every form of barbaric Cowardice .

[blm]

2. Oh...come on, what about the urgent missionary work for Romney who had to live in a Paris castle

with servants because there were some Catholic nuns nearby who needed to be converted to Mormonism?

[yurbud]

12. he gets points for that AND having the balls to protest the war he refused to fight in

but as far as I know, he didn't soil his shorts and go in for his military physical exam like that.

In Mitt's defense, soiling your shorts may be blasphemy for Mormons, what with their holy underwear and all.

[blm]

17. Mitt protested against the war protestors, but, wouldn't go to war, himself. Typical Republican

"You go fight that war and die, and I'll stay here and cheer you on and count my money."

18. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to post this again...

Some of us here at DU wound up as Vietnam War draftees, for one reason or another, and somehow missed the opportunity to live in a mansion in France...

Fortunate Son
Recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Written by John Fogerty

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no

It's a powerful song that became an anthem for us. I bolded the words that hit me the hardest...

[spanone]

8. YES!

[Selatius]

6. Apparently hunting deer with a compound bow is preferable to hunting a human armed with an AK-47.

One of them can actually shoot back at you. The other, not so much.

[Lint Head]

9. "Ted Nugent Crapped His Pants" should be a f*@king bumper sticker!

[yurbud]

20. add "to avoid the draft"

[Odin2005]

10. Rush is #1, IMO.

[Fozzledick]

11. It's still hard to beat George Bush as king of the chickenhawks.

He managed to be a draft dodger AND a deserter AND a war criminal!

[orpupilofnature57]

15. You Win !!!!

Having National Guard soldiers ,trained for Domestic duties ,and having Marines stand -down ,was like so many of his moves ,Misanthrope.

[yurbud]

21. he hit the trifecta

[Ter]

13. Is Negent pro-war or just pro-gun?

I always her him talking about guns, but never heard him talk about wars and all.

[pinboy3niner]

14. He supported the Iraq War and said, "“Our failure has been not to Nagasaki them.”

And, in the same High Times interview in which he described in detail the extreme lengths he went to to avoid serving in Vietnam, he said:

.... A couple of days and I was ready to kick ass. And in the mail I got this big juicy 4-F. They’d call dead people before they’d call my ass. But you know the funny thing about it? I’d make an incredible army man. I’d be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I’d have the baddest bunch of motherf*ckin’ killers you’d ever seen in my platoon. But I just wasn’t into it. I was too busy doin’ my own thing, you know?

22. that's like saying I didn't study karate, but if I did I could kick your ass.

[orpupilofnature57]

19. Hence Hawk.

[Ter]

24. In his case, yes

But not all. I'm anti-war and pro-gun.

[orpupilofnature57]

25. And I think all the more of you for it....

Guns aren't evil ,wars are.
