Is Ted Nugent going crazy in his old age? With the height of his popularity as a musician long behind him, is he so desperate for attention that he's decided to go for broke and make a new career as a professional idiot? Or is he simply so far gone that he doesn't even realize anymore how crazy and clueless he sounds?
Whichever it is, the "Cat Scratch Fever" rocker and conservative nut sure made a doozy of a comment about President Obama in a recent newspaper interview, the Huffington Post reports. When asked his opinion on which rock bands would represent the presidential candidates (because those two things just make so much sense together), the Nuge had this to say:
Out and out politicians are anathema to rock-n-roll, so I hesitate to attempt to connect the two. But on important issues, I am saddened to admit that Obama represents everything bad about humanity, and Romney pretty much all that is good. It is really that stark.
Really, Ted? Really? That's what you truly believe about this president?
Nugent's view of things is so far off the mark that it's hard to believe he said this with a straight face. Actually, it's not hard to believe at all, considering that it's only the latest in a string of bizarre and thick-headed comments he's made about Obama in the last few months.
What is almost as difficult to fathom is how Nugent can think that Mitt Romney represents the "good" side of humanity, when even some Republicans struggle to see the guy as "human" in the first place.
One wonders how someone can develop such a skewed vision of reality. If it weren't for his famously anti-drug and anti-alcohol stances, it would be tempting to assume he's been smoking something. Maybe he's just spent too long living in the woods up there in Michigan.
One also has to ask why the media keep soliciting a loon like Ted Nugent for his views on politics. The answer, though, is pretty obvious. This level of idiocy is a bit like a traffic accident: You don't want to see, but you just have to look anyway.

Wake up.
No President of the United States would likely EVER represent "everything bad about humanity."
Only in countries where there are totalitarian governments would this be possible.
Nugent's comment is idiotic, ignorant, childish, classless, unethical, manipulatively provocative, and ought to make most clear-thinking individuals, nauseous.
It is just the kind of pig-headed comment that we don't need to have join the discordant nature of our public dialogue--which the President spoke out against in Arizona, after the Giffords shooting.
Anyone who agrees with Nugent's comments is a real loser.
Read carefully:
Socialism, Marxism, Communism (Secularism) are responsible for more Misery and Death on this Planet than any other in History.
The theft of Freedom through Tyranny, wealth-redistribution, regulation, over-Taxation, over-spending, and his Marxist agenda should tell you all that you need to know.
But then, you wouldn't know that, now would you.
Granted, Obama has not been the most successful of presidents and the gap between what he promised and what he has achieved has been disappointing even to Democrats.
But if high intelligence, a deep understanding of complex geopolitical issues, the ability to see the larger picture, wanting to help those less fortunate than you, wanting to provide everyone the basic human right of adequate medical care, saving and creating jobs, encouraging the rich to give back to their society by paying more taxes, and trying to foster more cooperation between political parties in the interest of getting things done for the good of the country represent everything bad about humanity, then yes, Ted Nugent was right. And count me as another who hopes to represent the "bad" side of humanity.
You and other conservatives are entitled to your opinions, even if they're the wrong ones. :)
