When children draw posters that talk about the assassination of George Bush, they are questioned by the Secret Service. When someone makes a movie fictionalizing George Bush getting assassinated, that movie is blocked from this country. So then how can a rock star like Ted Nugent get on stage and make threats against two Democratic presidential candidates, who are already under Secret Service protection?

I think Nugent should be hauled in by the Secret Service and questioned about this behavior. The problem with this little display is that there could be that one person in the audience he is provoking to take thought to action.

I also think the NRA should come out and denounce what Nugent did and tell him they have no room for members like that. If someone does take Nugent's stunt to action then there will be another entire debate on gun control. Does the NRA want to have their position compromised by the ramblings of an idiot like Nugent?

If Nugent is scheduled to appear in your town, I recommend taking action to get his show canceled. Upcoming tour dates can be seen here. Also if there are any corporate sponsors of his concerts, they should also be contacted and asked if they support the promotion of assassination of our political figures. His actions are appalling and must be met with consequence.

UPDATE:

It seems the people who visit Power Line enjoy watching threats made against our presidential candidates. Maybe someone should ask Bill O'Reilly if he will go off on their hate filled rhetoric.
