bojon: Yes, the Dixie Chicks should be availiable.

They'd certainly be a better concert.

Who?

Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon, and Styx? What the hell kind of concert is that for soldiers? Aren't most soliders in their late teens to early 20s? Most of them weren't even alive the last time any of those bands had a hit song.

I guess the army is just booking whatever is cheap and on the county fair circuit.

Love the comments:

Stupid politicization of our military leadership in action. Our military is not supposed to be political one way or the other.

Except that tiny detail about the sitting President being the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

Styx had a greenlight less than eight years ago.

fark you Nugent, you chickenhawk, lame-ass douchebag.

Army refused to let Nugent play where now?

*clicks link*

Oh, that's gold, Jerry, gold!

Nugent, 63, told NRA supporters in St. Louis that he would be "dead or in jail" next year if Obama is re-elected in the November 6 election.

Mm-bye-bye, Ted. We'll miss you.

MaudlinMutantMollusk: ITT: I predict copious amounts of butthurt from those of lesser intellectual capacity who will claim Nugent's First Amendment rights are being violated

/Nugent should be violated

SkinnyHead: Nugent's First Amendment rights are being violated. He should sue for viewpoint discrimination.

Holy crap, only took 6 minutes. Not a new Fark record or anything but still notable.

*golf clap*

Seriously, I'm in my forties and I don't want to listen to that cr@p. I get tired of listening to songs that are as old or older than I am. Do you hear me "Classic Rock" stations? I'm sick of you. Get some young folks on the air waves!

And the implication of violence. Threatening violence against the President of the United States of America goes a twiddly bit beyond "politics".

bojon: CavalierEternal: They shouldn't have booked that pants-sh*tting draft-dodger in the first place.

Yes, the Dixie Chicks should be availiable.

The Dixie Chicks are first-rate musicians, no matter what you think of their politics.

Ted Nugent, on the other hand. . .

And you could argue that opposing war is a form of defending and attempting to protect the troops. I don't know if that at all motivated the Dixie Chicks, but that is definitely a motivator for me.

TheDumbBlonde: Ted Nugent is an American citizen who is allowed by the Constitution certain rights. One of those is saying shiat you don't like. Plus, none of you ever made major cash of a song called "Stranglehold", so kiss his ass.

That was bad trolling and you should feel bad about it.

Ted you can spout all the chicken shiat fake-hardass stuff you want, but you fark up REO, I will hunt you down. not with a bow. not with my sideburns, which are crazier than yours, but with pork chop and biscuit cutter (my left and right fist) wrapped in american flag bandanas and i will beat the implications of freedom of speech into you.



/that is a saying, right, just a fugure of speech?

TheDumbBlonde: Ted Nugent is an American citizen who is allowed by the Constitution certain rights. One of those is saying shiat you don't like. Plus, none of you ever made major cash of a song called "Stranglehold", so kiss his ass.

He most definitely has the right to say what he wants. And the military concert organizers have the right to not pay him to do so.
Why do you hate our troops?

So, Ted's mad because he won't be able to bray about what a badass he is in front of a group he shiat himself to avoid joining?

Ted, you're a pussy. Deal with it.

bojon: Do I smell butthurt?

I think that's your breath.

It would be like me, the legendary Billy Idol, being invited to play for the Royal Marines and then being turned down because I said "The Queen is a Coont and im honestly considering driving a VBIED into buckingham palace." Kinda understandable to not let me play after saying I want to kill your leader.

/I'm not Billy Idol
// Frowny Face

Damn, I bet the young people that make up the bulk of the army wanted to listen to some old has-been rocker from the 70's!

dr_blasto: Lunaville: Nugent, 63, told NRA supporters in St. Louis that he would be "dead or in jail" next year if Obama is re-elected in the November 6 election.

Mm-bye-bye, Ted. We'll miss you.

You know, this is a very good reason to vote for Obama. He should put this in a campaign ad.

And the day after Obama wins, I'll put up an ad selling one-year countdown clocks till the day Ted has to make good on his promise. I'll be rich. Fookin' rich I tells ya!

Cue patriotic song.

Lt Hookstratten: Fine, may I start by saying how thrilled we are to have you here, we are such fans of your music, and all of your records.

Derek: That's great--

Lt Hookstratten: I am not speaking of yours personnaly, but the whole genre
of the rock and roll ...

Actually, service members don't seem to be big fans . . .



/Hot, like a sex farm

I for one am sick of being denied my constitutional right to get paid to sing shiatty songs in front of Army soldiers. Why does Obama hate me and therefore America?

He made comments regarding President Obama that the Secret Service deemed worthy of investigating. The First Amendment does
not apply when the person is making perceived threats against the
President. That applies to anybody who is President, not just Barack Obama.

Farrakhan said seemingly equal threats to "leaders" the same week. Does anyone in their right mind think Ted Nugent is going to go postal on the President? Really?? Also, it seems the Secret Service has bigger internal fish to fry.

The Secret Service must investigate all threats made against the President. Even making the threat is a federal crime.

I'll hold my breathe.

Hold your breathe all you want, but Ted doesn't get a pass just because he gave your mom the syph back in '78.

djkutch: Bush shrugged it off when the Dixie Chicks discussed his assassination.



They said that they were ashamed of being from the same state as GW Bush. Biiiiiig difference than what Tedzo The Clown did.
