"Nugent’s temper rose and he began to yell at the reporter..."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

In a sit-down interview with the "CBS Morning Show" on Friday, set at the musician’s ranch in Texas, Nugent met with journalist Jeff Glor in, what began as, a calm back-and-forth discussion about allegations he had threatened President Obama, and the Secret Service inquiry that ensued.

***

After a defensive aside related to his charity work, Nugent’s temper rose and he began to yell at the reporter. “I’m an extremely loving, passionate man, and people who investigate me honestly, without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that I’m a damn nice guy. And if you can find a screening process more powerful than that I’ll (BLEEP), (BLEEP), (BLEEP), (BLEEP).”

A momentary pause ensued before Nugent directed his focus off-screen, “Or (BLEEP)(BLEEP)(BLEEP) -- How’s that sound?”

Noted Glor, this last statement was aimed at a female CBS news producer off camera. TMZ does the heavy lifting on sorting out what was apparently behind the bleeps.

1. From TMZ:

Nugent exploded, "I'm an extremely loving and passionate man, and people who investigate me honestly, without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that I'm a damned nice guy ... and if you can find a screening process more powerful than that, I'll s*ck your d**k."

Nugent then turned to Glor's female producer and said, "Or I'll f**k you, how's that sound?"

After the interview, Glor said Nugent's wife came out and told the former rock star that he needed to apologize. And he did.

Glor later identified the producer as Molly Kordares ... who looks like this:

6. If his wife has any self-respect at all, she was probably livid with him.

This guy is going over the edge with hatred & meanness. He hasn't learned his lesson sufficiently & he's dangerous, considering the puzzling corporate media exposure this never-was/has-been is given.

He should be in jail. He may not ever have intended to actually act out his sideways threat to Obama himself, but he blustered it over the loudspeakers at the NRA convention where there might be a few like-minded gun enthusiasts who could possibly mentally nurture that suggestive bluster into action.

Why didn't the Secret Service see it that way & arrest him? And why is he getting so much media attention? He should be learning his lesson, not promoted by the media.

2. I Really Dislike that Picture of the Female Producer

Amerigo I know you didn't select that pic of her TMZ did.

I looked at TMZ and it's part of the article. I almost alerted before I looked at the original article.

In context of Nugent's comments it really is just not the best pic. I really hate it. To me, and maybe I'm being overly sensitive, it just reeks "come get me." Seems like maybe TMZ went and found the most salacious pic they could find to post of the possible "fu*kee."

Rude on their part.

[Tunkamerica]

10. maybe it was the only pic they could find. she isn't famous. she's a news producer.

[obamanut2012]

18. They are professional Head Shot photos of her out there

I just tried ti post one, and it won't load.

TMZ is a gossip blog.

Nugent threatened to rape her. I wish he would get in trouble for some of what he rants.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

29. I hear whay you're saying, and...

...you're right, I didn't select the pic. TMZ, as we all know, has built a reputation on smarmy, snarky gossip (and believe it or not, they really have toned it down...they used to be much worse). But they were the only outlet I could find that had transcribed what Nugent said, and as a "regular" on DU with what I think is at least a reasonable idea of the overall pulse here, I assumed there'd be a large percentage of folks who, if presented with the video clip of Nugent's remarks, would have said "I'm not watching that." And I can't say I blame them...I watched it and it was a supreme turn-off. He came across as a wormy, petulant, self-righteous slice of scum along the lines of Doug Neidermeyer in "Animal House." That part of the movie where Neidermeyer is spitting and sputtering at Flounder over the "pledge pin" on his uniform? THAT was Nugent, to a "T," in this clip.



The best part, though, is when Nugent told the reporter to **** his ****, the reporter sat there, cool as a cumcumber, no reaction whatsoever, just letting Nugent stew oin his own vile juices.

[dballance]

49. I totally Understand Amerigo

It's not always easy to get the material you want to post something here or elsewhere and make a point. That's why I didn't alert and call you an asshole

I hope others might take a lesson from my being restrained. Before you go all postal on a DU friend it pays to to look at the original texts and consider the whole package and context, not just one little pic or post.

[Odin2005]

41. It's the "duckface" meme.

Women make a funny face in front of the bathroom mirror and post it online. I don't get it.

[Politicalboi]

3. Dying kids want to hear Ted?????

He's a POS, and a liar.

[bluesbassman]

9. I wouldn't let a child within a thousand yards of that POS.

The man is toxic in every way imagiinable. My hope is that he stays firmly stuck to Rmoney from now until November.

Keep blathering Ted, you're worth your weight in gold for the Obama campaign.

[Surya Gayatri]

4. Jaw on keyboard here...wow, just wow!

So, this is Rmoney's prized supporter--the one who's so "kewl", the one whose endorsement he actively sought?

The fact that Rmoney assiduously pursued an endorsement from this foul-mouthed, cretinous, megalomaniac reveals Willard's moral bankruptcy more than anything he's said or done himself.

By their friends shall ye know them...

[Jamaal510]

5. Ted Nugget says he doesn't care about political correctness,

yet claims to be a nice guy. Last time I checked, political correctness involves BEING NICE to others and not saying or doing stuff that is offensive.

[harmonicon]

8. "political correctness" is a BS term thought up by a right wing think tank.

They then went about disseminating this term for the very purpose of being able to have right wingers say "I'm not politically correct." When saying that, there is a subtext that would imply that "politically correct" is something other than correct; a calculation made for political reasons. Now that they've said that, they can appear to be the person stating what they feel is the truth regardless of the political calculations or ramifications (when, of course, the entire thing was a political calculation... it's actually quite a brilliant strategy, and it still works).

[JHB]

15. RWers started making noises about "PC" at the precise moment in history when...

...not even the most dinosaurine of them could voice -- even among themselves -- the old claim that Liberals and Lefties were "on orders from Moscow" without being an embarassment to the entire conservative movement. That lazy, self-serving explanation for why people saw things differently from them became unsustainable.

So they created another one. Instead of being dupes or agents of a foreign power relentlessly seeking to undermine our society, they decided everyone to their left just existed in this weird ideological fog and a form of "holier than thou"-ism.

[Odin2005]

42. I thought the term originated in doctrinaire Marxist-Leninist political groups...

and spread originally as a term of ironic mockery of Stalinist and Maoist types. The the RWers took it and started using it in order to equate Liberals with Stalinists.

[harmonicon]

48. Yeah, sort of.

I thought to look it up after I wrote that post, and from spending a bit of time, it's not completely clear. The term actually dates back hundreds of years and has had different uses. However, it is the case that it was popularized by the right wing for the purposes of being a derogatory term for the left.

[ailsagirl]

7. He's a real prince

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM???

[Drunken Irishman]

11. I bet Romney won't say a peep...

Because he's a fucking coward. Do we need a coward as President? Romney might be the biggest coward to ever run for office.

[Surya Gayatri]

14. Couldn't agree more...he's the most craven, shifty-eyed

weasel (no offense to weasels) I've ever seen on the national political stage. Much less moral fiber than Nixon, Reagan or Bush.

He'd sell out his own family if he thought it might play to his advantage.

He's never taken a principled, moral stand in his privileged, worthless life.

[PCIntern]

22. You're right about that...

Romney's a whole new breed of ass-kisser/coward all by himself.

[Surya Gayatri]

33. No shit--I hated Nixon, loathed Reagan and despised

Bush, but I've never gotten such a bad vibe from a candidate in my long life.

His dim-wittedness, mythomania and meanness just plain scare me. Very dangerous mix.

[Aerows]

35. That makes two of us

I've said it before, I'll say it again - Bush was awful, but you knew what you had with Bush, even if you detested it. With Romney, he's so craven and shifty you don't know WHAT you will get on any given day. Not a SHRED of moral fiber, like you said. Somebody else said yesterday - He's hollow, and people without a core fill it up with evil.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

26. It's the shifty eyes coupled with the nervous laugh

It's a cringe-inducing display of a man "uncomfortable in his own skin."

Whatch virtually any clip where Romney is surrounded by his fellow HU-mans (rat-tip to fans of the movie "Robot Monster&quot .



Pictured above: Mitt Romney Press Conference.

I'm sure that when he's sitting down, reviewing the architect's diagrams for his new car elevator, that he's probably comfortable, within reason.

But put him out among the unwashed masses, where they actualy ask him questions, and he is forced to respond?

That boy is UNCOMFORTABLE.

[Surya Gayatri]

32. Skin crawling here just imagining his obsequious

"laugh cum simper" in my mind.

Actually that photo is an improvement on the original--bwaaaaaaaaaha!

[safeinOhio]

23. If Mitt is afraid of Ted and Rush.....

how can he deal with Russia and China?

[B Calm]

12. This the draft dodger who shit

and pissed in his underpants for a month to avoid being drafted?

[geminifemini]

13. Stop giving him air time

Nugent is 1) a waste of time and space 2) a has-been that shoulda-never been
He needs shutthefuckup fever.

[Uben]

16. I was going to burn all the Nugent music I had.....

...but, I didn't have any! Ha ha! I don't buy shit music.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

17. So it seems Ted is bi.

[obamanut2012]

19. What would you say something like that?

Seriously.

[Bohunk68]

20. Well, he did say

that he would s**k the man's c**k. I guess if one is having sex with both sexes, that makes one bi-sexual. Although, the truth be told, as a GLBT, I sure don't want to claim him as one of ours and I wouldn't let him within a mile of any man's private parts. Not with those teeth!

[spanone]

21. hey teddy boy, blow it out your ass.

[fascisthunter]

24. egotistical fraud

[Ikonoklast]

25. Why does he keep a weasel under his hat?

Nothing sadder than a Middle-Aged Ponytail Man.

[panader0]

37. I've had long hair since I was 18

I'm 61 now, still have long hair as do most of my male friends and do not think it is in any way "sad".

[Ikonoklast]

38. Do you also have male pattern baldness, and a 'five-head'?

Ever wonder why Nugent always wears that stupid hat?

A ponytail coming off of a mostly bald head is as bad as having a combover; no one is fooled.




Well, maybe one person gets fooled.

[polly7]

44. I couldn't care less how anyone wears their hair .......

(except Donald Trump ... and only because he's so obnoxious) ..... but what's a 'five-head'?

[Ikonoklast]

46. A 'five-head' is when your forehead, due to baldness, goes back quite a bit further than it used to.

[lpbk2713]

27. Desperation will make neurotic people act this way.

The end is near for Nugent just as the end is near for the rethuglican potty.

[Vanje]

28. The Nooge

is a poop-encrusted douchebag

[Logical]

30. This Idiot is on the NRA board of Directors! Any surprise there?

[gratuitous]

31. "I'm a damn nice guy"

The very next pieces of excrement that will tumble out of my mouth notwithstanding.

According to the new Hilary Rosen Rule, I believe it is incumbent on the popular media to begin a relentless campaign of asking candidate Romney just what sort of people his supporters are, does he agree with the views expressed by Mr. Nugent, and does he think they're appropriate? In what way were they appropriate, or if inappropriate, in what way? The American people need to know if Mitt Romney is a damn nice guy, and just what that might mean.

Get on it, popular media! We saw what happened when Hilary Rosen said something inelegant if 100% true. Now it's time for a little sauce for the gander.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

34. This guy really seems mentally unstable

and getting worse with age. I don't think I'd want to come within rifle range of this guy.

[Taverner]

36. He needs a strait jacket and a hannibal lecter muzzle

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

39. I don't think he's drunk, crazy, drug addled, or paranoid. I just think he's an asshole.

[Odin2005]

40. This guy needs to be placed in a mental hospital before he hurts someone.

He reminds me of a Bipolar coworker who assaulted me when I asked him to quit insulting a woman with mobility problems.

[otohara]

43. Serves CBS Right For Inviting This POS

we had switched over to CBS because we thought with Charlie Rose on...it might be interesting
But no, they had to lower the bar, invite this asshole on and for what?

He was so two weeks ago.

[apocalypsehow]

45. He's much beloved of our "pro gun liberals" - they practically wet themselves with joy whenever he

pipes up about his passion for guns. Regarding his political views? "He's misunderstood! Are you perfect? It's a quirky personality that makes him unique!"*

*Paraphrased and summarized synopsis of actual replies about Nugent I've actually gotten from "pro gun liberals."

[Initech]

47. He's really mentally unstable.

[janx]

50. Maybe he has

Cat Scratch Fever...!!!



Honestly, he's one of the only musicians (I use the term loosely) willing to involve himself with the GOP.

That should tell us all something.
