When did we start asking this genius his opinion of things?
Disagree with unter on many things. But on this, I join (perhaps). Why is "someone I don't like said something I don't like" a story? Who cares? Now what this person said is amplified and repeated and many more people hear it. Well done.
I took a 40 hour handgun class at a large private facility in Nevada. The place had a Ted Nugent quote painted on the wall next to the main entrance to the lunchroom/lecture hall, like it was some kind of profound paean to responsible gun ownership. And just about everyone there saw him as their unofficial spokesperson. They agree with him on the right to maintain private arsenals and hate anyone who disagrees.
I think it would be foolish to simply ignore Nugent and his fans. They're rightwing ideologues, they're armed, they're influential, and they're dangerous.
