Nugent: "The whole world sucks but America sucks less,"
http://www.mysanantonio.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D89GQ7N80.html

Rocker and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent urged National Rifle Association members Saturday to be "hardcore, radical extremists demanding the right to self defense" and to work daily to recruit new members.

Speaking at the group's annual convention in Houston, Nugent said the NRA's current record-high membership of 4 million was nothing to get excited about. He said each NRA member should try to enroll 10 new members over the next year.

Nugent, who walked onto the stage with a large assault weapon in each hand, said those who support gun control aren't the enemy.

"The whole world sucks but America sucks less," he said to laughter and applause. "And we can eliminate that sucking sound altogether if we all would actually be hardcore, radical extremists, hardcore radical extremists, demanding the right to self defense."

11. Here's his take on military service...
... from Wiki:

The Amboy Dukes' second single was "Journey to the Center of the Mind", which Nugent claimed he didn't know was about drug use. The Amboy Dukes (1967), Journey to the Center of the Mind (1968) and Migration (1969) sold moderately well, establishing a fan base for Nugent and the other Amboy Dukes. Personnel changes nearly wrecked the band, which became known as Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes. Though the group's studio recordings rarely sold well, the band managed to keep a large following.

Nugent avoided the draft during the Vietnam War. In an interview for the Detroit Free Press July 15, 1990, Nugent described how he avoided the draft: He claims that 30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with excrement and stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says. His quote: “ but if I would have gone over there, I’d have been killed, or I’d have killed, , or I’d have killed all the Hippies in the foxholes… I would have killed everybody.”

12. I hate myself for helping to making that bastard rich.
I bought so much of his music in my younger days and the man turns out to be a repuke! It really makes me sick to think about it. He would be on my boycott list today!

You're a nutbag, but at least you have a sense of humor about being a nutbag.

8. Our enemy is the gun owners that don't belong to the NRA
I guess I'm his enemy then. I don't want to be involved with the lunatics in the NRA. I'm a hunter, fisherman & outdoorsman but I've never felt the need for an assault weapon & armor piercing ammo. Have the rabbits & deer started wearing Kevlar?

10. Oh what a lovely thought. If I want to defend my damn country
in the event of a civil war THIS guy may be shooting in MY direction! Hopefully he'll be singing "Cat Scratch Fever" so I can justify aiming right back at him.

Moderators this is NOT a threat, just a joke. The guy is a lunatic, not me!

21. Ted thinks he's 14 years old?
"but America sucks less," and walked on the stage with an assault rifle in each hand.....

A 58 year old child! A true sign of bu$h's base.

23. Did anyone see the Behind the Music on VH! about him?
He's not a "family values man". He "was" a sex addict. Another hypocrite.
