Nice to know Sheryl Crowe is a gentleman.

That had 10 times more substance than Obama's speech.
He's right. Big Government will eventually suck the life out of anything.

It's great to know that Ted only supports politicians with integrity that don't lie or shift position for political advantage.

I hope he calls me when he finds some.

 
Outtaphase [TotalFark] 2008-08-30 11:05:17 AM  
It takes a man who shiat himself to avoid the draft to tell me what courage and greatness is. Not.

 
burndtdan 2008-08-30 11:10:31 AM  
i think it's funny that ted nugent thinks he's still a rock star because he's playing the state fair circuit.

 
ZAZ [TotalFark] 2008-08-30 11:15:42 AM  
For those who didn't RTFA, be aware that The Nuge has more Black in his picking finger than Obama has in his entire socialist body.

Teddy boy lost me at the end of the very first paragraph:

"I was busy pummeling musical fun gluttons at the New York State Fair with my R&B spirit-infested guitar as I've done over 6,000 times so far in my gravity-defying career."

Oh Ted, when you're playing the NY State Fair in front of dozens of drunks who are merely hanging around to get the taste of stale beer and corn dogs out of their mouths I'm not sure that equates to a "gravity-defying career."

Your political opinions are as relevant as your music is these days.

 
FlashHarry [TotalFark] 2008-08-30 11:21:09 AM  
so what did the cowardly draft-dodger say about obama? i can't force myself to look.

 
jake_lex [TotalFark] 2008-08-30 11:35:36 AM  
I wonder if he shiat his pants while he wrote that article, like he did to dodge the draft in Vietnam.

Please DIAF, Ted. The radio will feel compelled to play "Stranglehold" once, and then you'll vanish off the face of the earth forever.

FlashHarry: so what did the cowardly draft-dodger say about obama? i can't force myself to look.

If you've read any of the insane rantings of DIA or Muck or Captain_Lipbalm over the last few days then you've seen all there is to see.

I wonder what Ted's Fark handle is?

Ted Nugent reminds me of Alec Baldwin and the Hollywood SuperDouches, only he leans in a different direction.

 
Cake Hunter [TotalFark] 2008-08-30 01:17:48 PM  
I won't go away. Write that down. Again.

Unlike the windjammer Obaminator, my music is black enough

Who?

 
evilboyevil 2008-08-30 01:21:53 PM  
He basically said that Obama's speech was all fluff as he realizes that the world sucks and we shouldn't bother fixing things since we could make things worse too.

Fart_Machine 2008-08-30 01:32:08 PM  
With intellects like Kid Rock and Ted Nugent, the new conservative movement should be unstoppable.

 
TheRockinDonkey 2008-08-30 01:34:05 PM  
Ho-holy shiat! Nugent shiat his pants to avoid the draft? what a farking loser!

 
Whatthefark 2008-08-30 01:49:49 PM  
Ted,

STFU and play your gee-tar.

/he does put on a great show
//as long as he doesn't talk politics

 
PresidentPutz 2008-08-30 01:55:37 PM  
I applaud The Nuge and his attempt at playing political essayist but lets be honest, he is a rock musician who equates machismo caveman psyche with the Conservative Movement, a little boy in a mans body who likes to play with guns, ride quads and shoot meat.
Beyond that his attitudes are mysogonistic and 14th century.
Yeah, he'll point to his wife and say she is like him and believes in what he does but does that make her an independant woman or a puppet willing to parrot her "Man" and do what it takes to make "The Big Man" happy.
Being socially aware and socially responsible isn't being a Socialist, it is being responsible and accountable.
Would the Nuge rather the world we live in exist like a scene out of Mad Max where guns and speed and testerone driven violence are the tools of reform and governance?
Where the weak are culled like so many deer from a herd? The answers to the problems of this country, of over 300 MILLION aren't in letting the Market shake it out. We had that attitude under Reagan and the Bush's and we learned that "Trickle Down" essentially results in "Piss On".
I love the Nuge, and his Music but his stance on government and social reforms are as neandrotholic as that of teh same Neadrothals that eventually became extinct.
the man who wrote Wang Tang Sweet Poontang isn't the person to be examining the American Political landscape and making character judgements.
Ted, pick up the Guitar, write some tunes and stick to what you are good at. please.

 
PresidentPutz 2008-08-30 01:58:55 PM  
PS, to manage a nation of 300 MILLION it takes a big government.
The answer isn't in making government smaller because even small government can be wasteful, just ask the twon of Wasilla, a town of 6700 with a 20 MILLION dollar debt.
the REAL answer is in making government responsible, ethical and honest.
the same tired cliche's are a waste of time.
Ted, you ROCK as a musician; but as a political critic? Not so much.

 
PresidentPutz 2008-08-30 02:03:05 PM  
Darconix,
did you read the PS?
anyone who thinks a small government can manage a nation of 50 states, 300 Million people and act as the world "Defender" is bordering on ignorant and has a dangerously stupid idea of what it requires to manage a Super Power Nation.

 
RevMercutio [TotalFark] 2008-08-30 02:04:25 PM  
Of course Ted supports McCain. They're both relics who wish to constantly remind you what they did in the 70s.

 
FlukeBoy [TotalFark] 2008-08-30 02:05:26 PM  
I saw Nugent in '78 as a freshman in high school in Baton Rouge (high school was in Lafayette, show was in Baton Rouge, only matters to me....)
He rocked, I was so stoned...Opening act might've been Black Oak Arkansas...

man, that kind of music sucks to my ears now.
can't believe I used to like that shiat.
KISS.....
Ted, Gene Simmons and Kid Rock all oughtta get together for a circle jerk someday.

 
martijannetti 2008-08-30 02:12:13 PM  
I want some tie dyed jeans, man

 
depmode98 2008-08-30 02:36:42 PM  
what a surprise, another millionaire who made the bulk of their fortune before this president was even elected thinks everything is just fine.

what a brave republican soldier, shiatting his pants to avoid the draft, to fight the war of words at home.

 
mongbiohazard 2008-08-30 02:37:00 PM  
Rhetorical flourishes aside..... Nugent was right on the money in that.

 
CravenMorehead 2008-08-30 02:44:04 PM  
Wow, Ted Nugent is a PUMA. Who knew?

 
Needlessly Complicated 2008-08-30 02:52:08 PM  
"Fedzilla"? "Obamanator"? "Tedfurnace"?

I could only read through to the third grand, self-congratulatory paragraph.

That and "Rockbama" had me shutting the window.

 
Sym_pathetic 2008-08-30 03:16:18 PM  
From the Nuge: The musical Gods have indeed blessed me and I continue to create musical fire on the best tour of my life in 2008 by playing blistering rhythm and blues music to well over a billion people around the world, so far. Unlike the windjammer Obaminator, my music is black enough I have a talent that has been honed through sheer will power, sweat and persistence. That's the American Dream. I wouldn't dare let Fedzilla tamper with my dream.

Yes Ted. The Government is trying to kill the gods of Rock-n-Roll and stop your super human shredding power.

 
sarcastrophe 2008-08-30 03:38:03 PM  
Fedzilla.... that's awesome.

I can't stop giggling.

Well then, you must hate the GOP.

Ron Paul?

 
Cinaed 2008-08-30 04:20:20 PM  
Nugent...

He's a great entertainer and musician.

Not so much on the political commentary.

Don't stop rockin'.

Hey, I'd almost forgotten you were still around. Thanks for reminding me what an idiot you are. Now off to the /ignore bin with you. "DAHAR HAR HAR, TEH TED NUGENT IS MA INTELEKSHUL GAWD!"

I mean damn son, ugly and stupid is no way to go through life.

"President Kennedy, who supported lower taxes and stood up to the Commies in Cuba, would surely hang his head in shame and disbelief that this convention asks not what it can do for its country, but what its country must do for them. Shameful."

Amen.

 
MikoSquiz 2008-08-30 06:54:03 PM  
Wow, I knew he was a world-class douche-dumbass-dingbat triple threat, but..

 
PresidentPutz 2008-08-30 07:39:04 PM  
FarkingSean,
you too have missed the message.
Kennedy would be ashamed of a government that exists for its own benefit and the benefits of the Contractors and lobbyists that take from it so much and return to it NOTHING.
The programs that Mr. Obama spoke on would improve the nation, create MORE jobs and LESS poverty and welfare dependance.
It is amazing the cataracts of ideology.
I am beholden to no party and actually read the ideas and platform issues that the candidates put forward and ask myself how they work in the WHOLE of the plan rather than cringing and screaming "socialism" as soon as I hear "Affordable Healthcare".

The biggest problem with the GOP and the DNC BOTH is that neither listens with an open mind but rather with a idieological prejudice to criticize blindly any plan proposed by the other. Sometimes I wonder what our forefathers expected from the children of theirn childrens children... I am sure they would be ashamed of us all.
We foresake the nation for the ideology of Party.
