I'm not the least bit supprised that Mr Nugent would appeal to some of our Consevative friends. They want someone who shares their Values. Here are some of Mr Nugents thoughts.........
On hunting:
The Nuge pretty much thinks you're a hippie idiot if you don't hunt and kill your own food.
"[I get a] full predator spiritual erection" from hunting "bear, lions, coons, housecats, escaped chimps, small children, scared women and everything else that can be chased and/or hunted."
On dodging the Vietnam War draft
Nugent told the Detroit Free Press in 1990 that he meticulously planned to get out of the war. He stopped bathing 30 days before going before the draft board and later ate nothing but junk food and Pepsi. A few days before his appointment, Nugent started defecating in his pants. It obviously worked — and it's a good thing, because "if I would have gone over there, I’d have been killed, or I’d have killed all the Hippies in the foxholes. I would have killed everybody."
On politics
Nugent's recent comments about Obama weren't the first time he blasted the president. He said basically the same thing in 2007, except he had a machine gun as a visual aid.
"I think that Barack Hussein Obama should be put in jail. It is clear that Barack Hussein Obama is a communist. Mao Tse Tung lives and his name is Barack Hussein Obama. This country should be ashamed. I wanna throw up," he said, adding "Obama, he’s a piece of s**t. I told him to suck on my machine gun."
Apparently the Detroit Free Press is Nugent's go-to outlet for hate speech. In this 1990 interview, The Nuge said that all people aren't the same.
"My being there (South Africa) isn’t going to affect any political structure. Besides, apartheid isn’t that cut-and-dry. All men are not created equal."
On women
Nugent is well known for his "type" of women, namely women who might not be 18. His "muse" Pele Massa was 17 when they got together — he had to take legal custody of her from her parents in order to date. However, that relationship — like most of Nugent's relationships — ended because of his love for "alternative flesh management," or as we call it, cheating.
He's also not a fan of strong women with independent thoughts.
"What’s a feminist anyways? A fat pig who doesn’t get it often enough?"
On minorities and non-Americans
Foreigners are assholes; foreigners are scum; I don’t like ‘em; I don’t want ‘em in this country; I don’t want ‘em selling me doughnuts; I don’t want ‘em pumping my gas; I don’t want ‘em downwind of my life-OK? So anyhow, and I’m dead serious…"
"I use the word n****r a lot because I tend to use words that communicate," he said.
