Ted Nugent whines he's a victim of hate speech after his attack on Parkland teens backfires

Source: Raw Story

NRA board member Ted Nugent isn’t backing down from his attacks on the Parkland high school mass shooting student survivors. “I stand by my words,” the rock star said in a Facebook video Saturday night. On Good Friday Nugent had declared that the teenaged student survivors who are advocating for gun control so no other children have to die in a school massacre, “have no soul.”

On Saturday, in a rambling rant about the media that was filled with inaccuracies Nugent said that news outlets including CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and HuffPost, along with organizations including Media Matters, MoveOn.org, and the Southern Poverty Law Center, had “claimed that it’s hate speech to identify the hate of people that call us child murderers, because we don’t believe in banning guns, which won’t save any lives.”

A quick Google search could find no evidence of any major organization labeling Nugent’s attack “hate speech.”

On Saturday, in a self-recorded video, Nugent told supporters, “I was told, coming out of a firestorm, a firestorm of guitar solo magic, that I was trending on Facebook because somehow, some dishonest, lying idiots claimed that my identifying, accurately and honestly, those in the gun control marches who call people who don’t agree with them child murderers – now if I called you a child murderer without having any evidence, that would be hate speech,” he claimed, as Media Matters reported Monday.

He just want to make money off of "bad press" like any typical GOP greedy bastard. He is desperate for some ticket sales since his new concert sales not up there with the Stones or Pink Floyd, of course they never were, even when he wore a loin cloth and swung onto the stage like Tarzan.

He'd just tell Nugent that he really needs to practice more. So would about 100 other famous guitar players, including a half dozen who actually played in bands with that hack.

Then go give a couple of sweaty Fascist God, guns, and guitars concerts. You should smell real ripe - the crowd will love you.

It’s so fucking obvious that he’s desperately trying to regain attention. And posts like this feed his infantile desires.

Ignore him.

I've seen many Youtube videos of 13-15 year old kids, usually covering Metallica or Eric Johnson, something like that, who can play circles around "Ted the Sledge." Ted Nugent sucks.
