In the midst of their own Secret Service scandal, the agency which protects Barack Obama is now investigating Ted Nugent for an alleged threat he may have made. The hard-rocker Ted Nugent, who is backing Mitt Romney for president, made his controversial remarks to a gathering at the National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis. Appearing on The Glenn Beck radio show, Nugent told Beck that he is scheduled to meet with the Secret Service on Thursday and does not expect any problems. The remark that caused the uproar is his stating that ″if Barack Obama becomes president in November, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.″ Nugent said this to the audience at the NRA function after describing the Obama administration as ″vile, evil, American-hating.″
While his comments may be over the top, Ted Nugent in no way meant to threaten Barack Obama. But, needless to say, the Secret Service does have a job to do and they will question him. Some legal experts have already determined that Nugent′s remarks do not violate any laws. However, while the rock guitarist himself may be a peace-loving man, many people are concerned that such rhetoric could inspire someone less stable to act on his behalf. According to the Department of Justice statistics, about 75% of all actual threats the Secret Service receives are from the mentally ill. Reports that such threats have increased from an average of 400 to 3,000 per year since Obama succeeded George W. Bush.
So, regardless of the severity, the Secret Service is required under the law to investigate any and all threats. On Thursday, they will meet with Ted Nugent concerning an alleged threat to Barack Obama he may have made. The rocker Ted Nugent, who is supporting Mitt Romney for president, made his controversial remarks during an event held by the National Rifle Association this past weekend in St. Louis. Nugent is not worried about being interviewed by the Secret Service, who are undergoing their own scandal investigation of hiring prostitutes while in Colombia. Nugent told Glenn Beck that he does not expect anything to come from his remarks about Obama. Watch the video below, especially if you like blondes with large breasts! And she′s a Conservative who supports gun rights, too!!!

Ted Nugent is about as harmless as a slice of wonder bread. Typical of Obama to use the hammer of governmental power to silence critics, something only extremist liberals approve of doing. Obama learned from Saul Alinsky well.

Nugent’s In Your Face advocacy of All Things Conservative, sets the rotten teeth of Libs on edge.
That alone, is enough to make him a hero to millions. His current White Buffalo Tour is Sold Out.
He’s been doing it for 47 years:

“Typical of Obama to use the hammer of governmental power to silence critics,”
The Secret Service is in the business of protecting the President. It wouldn’t matter if it was Ted Nugent (he used to play my high school dances when he was in the Amboy Dukes) or Barbra Streisand.
You guys really do provide me with a lot of entertainment.

I’ve been stumping for Ted for a long time.
If for anything, Secretary of state.
I guarantee you if he had Hillarys job or occupied previous cabinets none of our wars in the last decade would of only lasted a week.
Ted knows what he wants and doesnt dick around..
I expect his foxtail to be on his ass during the inauguration followed by every radical throwin down his arms and running like hell

Ted Nugent is a wide open, blaring a-hole with pieces of s*** hanging off of it, and anyone who admires Ted Nugent or is into Ted Nugent is exactly the same thing.
April 18th, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Ted Nugent’s birth was definitely NOT a vaginal delivery.
Ted Nugent was the first anal delivery in the history of the world.
April 18th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
Ted Nugent likes to torture and kill things.
He’s a serial killer. Simple as that.
April 18th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Poor Klo. Another liberal full of self-hatred lashing out at the world.
April 18th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
Me full of hate? Ted Nugent is the one who is full of hate.
You too.
The only thing I am doing is calling him out for what he is.
April 18th, 2012 at 9:58 pm
There must also be conservatives full of self-hatred lashing out at the world, no?
April 19th, 2012 at 3:25 am
Any rational person would recognize that Ted Nugent’s comment was over the top, [extremely] irresponsible and way, WAY out of line.
But then, this will be such a contentious election that we will be hearing a lot of similar comments from both sides, the significance of which is that rather being known as The Great Communicator, Obama will become known as The Great Divider.Indeed, it has to be by design that he is intentionally the most divisive POTUS ever, no doubt delighted by Nugent’s rash comments.

There was nothing threatening in what Mr. Nugent said, but when you’re living in a country like this under a narcissistic regime then you’re always in danger of being prosecuted for telling the truth.

Conservatives do not hate, we only love. We even love atheists and Liberals and try to save their souls from misery and eternal damnation.

These comments by the Libs are ample evidence of their rabid hatred for everything under the sun.
Grossly unhappy and full of self-loathing, their total defeat is immanent.
Their Last Hurrah is now, three and a half years behind them. Never again will the Socialist/Communist haters dominate American politics and culture.
All that remains to be seen, is just how many are willing to die for their beliefs and how many are willing to flee to ‘greener pastures’.
I suggest that we expropriate a 300 mile swath of Mexico and seal the border. Stragglers could be fired over the river with circus canon.
Generalissimo Theodore’ Nugent could oversee this theater of operations.
April 19th, 2012 at 6:06 am
Obama has real problems Ted Nugent is not one of them. His socialistic agenda is the problem. Many Americans agree with Nugent.
April 19th, 2012 at 6:09 am
“All that remains to be seen, is just how many are willing to die for their beliefs”
Umm. I think I will instead merely cast my vote as I am living in the real world.
“We even love atheists and Liberals and try to save their souls from misery and eternal damnation.”
Thanks, but no thanks.
April 19th, 2012 at 10:26 am

Yeah, i’ll pass on that too.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:34 am
Too bad. ‘Me’, and here I was looking forward to playing checkers with you in heaven.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:49 am
I’m with Buzz and Me on the love thing. Atheists and liberals are super hard to love. They are so angry all of the time.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Conservatives do not hate, we only love
War is peace.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:11 pm
So, whats the story here?
Are Me and me, one and the same ?
Or is me, Me’s husband ?
April 19th, 2012 at 12:27 pm
Both ‘Me’ and ‘me’ are using the same email address and have the same IP address. So I am assuming that he is just lazy sometimes or maybe his fingers are too sticky with Cheetos to hit the Shift key to capitalize.

Well, yeah… I just let the cookie (not the handful of things you’re eating, Andy) fill out the form, and since I have more than one way to get online (laptops, phones, etc.), I may have typed it differently somewhere.
I’m sorry for throwing everyone into a state of confusion. I guess it’s easy to do.
I’m with Buzz and Me on the love thing. Atheists and liberals are super hard to love. They are so angry all of the time.
Well it’s hard not to be when the right is lying about you and your motives in between efforts to rig the system to facilitate the redistribution of wealth from deserving, decent working people to undeserving elites. And when they do it on the backs of debt and war bringing death and poverty to millions, yeah, that’s a little disconcerting.
Although, when it comes to being “angry all the time”, all you gotta do is listen to right wing radio. Which, yes, I know is just entertainment, but c’mon, that’s where the anger is expressed, usually at the expense of me (Me) and people who are browner than Me (me).

The Very First honest statement by the Me Brothers :
I’M SORRY
April 19th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
Amazing, but not surprised.
Klo, the man has never done a fcking thing to you.
You fckin morons get all pissed off when democracy seeking Muslims get killed by their own government for seeking free speech and asking for civil rights ?
But compared to the nasty pageants and vocabulary thrown at Bush, Ted Nugent cant say what I’ve been saying for 3 years ?
The stress of him doing four more years could very well cause me to get locked up or blow my brains out.
But lets get real and say what most people who dont have the balls to say what they really mean. I’ll dig the six foot hole as soon as someone agrees with me.
Hes destroyed every kids future and let thousands of troops die for absolutely nothing.
Hes the one with blood on his hands letting both wars fail just so he can appear the hero..
As all volunteers electively choose to fight a war everyone knows would last forever.They even returned to serve three, sometimes six deployments.
Its been about a month now and not only are these Theocracies becoming more and more unstable between themselves, Iraqis
and Afghans are returning to exactly what they were.
If my son volunteered and was killed over this administrations lack of ability to identify all its enemies and lack of ability to keep our exceptionalism , or just to cater to some agenda I would most definitely offer a bounty for the heads of those responsible for thousands of American lives being totally wasted for you, I, and of course, the heroes themselves.
