Secret Service to interview Ted Nugent

 

The Secret Service will interview Ted Nugent for his comments about President Obama, according to a law enforcement official, but this source cannot confirm the exact date at this point. Nugent has said he will meet with the Secret Service Thursday.

The Secret Service has previously released this statement:

"We are aware of the incident with Ted Nugent, and we are conducting appropriate follow-up," spokesman Brian Leary said. "We recognize an individual's right to freedom of speech but we also have a responsibility to determine and investigate intent. "

At a National Rifle Association conference, Nugent said, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year." He added, “We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their hands off in Nov. Am I, any questions?”

Guess Ted has access to some prime hookers.

Yeah, I'm guessing that the last thing the SS wants is to keep in the public eye.

Perfect. Well good to know Ted is being investigated. I feel much safer [particularly given the Nov. reference].

But the lack Panthers putting out a bounty? Nope, not important, nothing to see.

Now just think about all the talk this will generate and references to free speech and big government.

Looks like Romney just got anther 2-5 point bounce.

The feigned unfair & unbalanced bigoted, outrage is being focused on slamming and lying on President Obama over taxes & the Secret Service scandal.

Nothing is new here to report except that the lunatic is saying he won't back down.

That proves he is a nut.

The people that put the bounty out were arrested within a day or two. The story is sensationalized by some media outlets as being vigilanty justice, and to make you feel threatened. They markedly leave out that the group was taken care of light-years faster than Zimmerman. Whom most likely never would have had charges brought against him without the overblown media.

A minor dies to gun shoot, full investigation should be required. They did a terrible job, regardless of guilt or innocence. Ted Nugent is another case entirely, if he had said that in regards to any other sitting president, the entire nation would have boycotted him. The right is slipping fast, the dark side is consuming. Besides it is boarder line inciting violence, not quite there, but as close as you can get to it without it becoming illegal. Very irresponsible. If someone takes his crap

Sorry, folks, the Secret Service, last I checked, still has a job to do. Since Mr. Romney is under Secret Service protection as well you'd demand that they do their jobs if there was a threat made to him, right?

Oh, and last I checked, threatening the President is still a crime...

18 USC § 871

Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

Interesting how the MSM is desperately attempting to equate Nugent's comments with what Hillary Rosen said last week.

One glaring difference is Ms. Rosen apologized for her comment while Nugent has double down on the vitriol!

The other is, within 24 hours the President, First Lady & Joe Biden all disavowed themselves from her comment, something it looks like Willard doesn't have the spine to do!

Good to see the Secret Service doesn't find Mr. Nugent's as silly as First Read & MSNBC do!

Feisty,


Nugget is a coward. Like our man Lawrence O'Donnell said last ... He can't shoot a gun. Otherwise, he would have not draft dodged during Viet Nam.

I don't believe he wore the same pants for 30 days either, and urinated and defecated in them so the Army would smell him and turn him away thinking him to be crazy. His skin would been broken down. If anything, they probably did a psyche evaluation on him. Maybe that LSD is the reason he was rejected.

This is the kind of man Ted Nugent is:

Raised Catholic, Nugent has mentioned his ties with the Christian faith many times during interviews, and has stated that he regularly attends church.

He has had two wives and has eight children, including three out of wedlock in two liaisons almost 30 years apart. In the late 1960s, prior to his first marriage, Nugent fathered a boy, Ted (Mann) and a girl, whom he gave up for adoption in infancy. This did not become public knowledge until 2010. The siblings were adopted separately and had no contact with one another. The son learned the identity of his birth father in 2010 through the daughter's quest to make contact with him and their birth parents. According to a news report, Nugent over the years had discussed the existence of these children with his other children.[24]

In 2005 Nugent was involved in a legal battle for not paying enough child support for a child he had out of wedlock in 1995.[25] It was finally resolved when Nugent was ordered to pay $3,500 in child support.[26]

He was married to his first wife, Sandra Jezowski, from 1970 to 1979. They had three children, son Theodore Tobias "Toby" Nugent, and daughters Sasha and Starr Nugent. Sandra died in a car crash in 1982. His second marriage was to Shemane Deziel, whom he met while a guest on Detroit's WLLZ-FM, where she was a member of the news staff. They married on January 21, 1989. Together they have two children, son Rocco Winchester Nugent, and daughter Chantal Nugent.

In 1978, Nugent began a relationship with seventeen-year-old Hawaii native Pele Massa. Due to the age difference they could not marry so Nugent joined Massa's parents in signing documents to make himself her legal guardian, an arrangement that Spin magazine ranked in October 2000 as #63 on their list of the "100 Sleaziest Moments in Rock".[27][28]

As many of our elected officials and political candidates have poor relationship histories both within and outside of marriage.....Mr. Nugents personal life crisis is moot unless you intend to accord the exact same weight of judgement, including an extramarital affair conducted in the Oval Office and then lied about to the spouse and the public until it was no longer possible to lie about it. As for the draft dodge thing....I don't recall hearing about that either, and I am sure being as big as he was during the 70's and early 80's, it would certainly have received more coverage-especially as it was such a sensitive issue with all young men of that age group. Assumptions of alcohol or substance abuse are probably actionable under defamation and slander....and once again, many of our politicians and elected officials, as well as their immediate family members have kept high end rehab facilities in business, so of what value is that argument? And finally, if any of you bothered to hear the entire conversation from which these quotes were taken, and which was available online....it becomes very clear that as was stated earlier, this was by way of grandstanding, cheerleading, getting people enthused about the candidate rather than being a literal threat. I do think that Mr. Nugent firmly believes that our personal freedoms are already very far erroded without people noticing and paying attention (our shame as citizens for not being involved), and that another term of the same administration would result in further loss of freedom and compromise of rights, which in turn would probably put him afoul of the law and the government, because as the head of the NRA, he certainly isn't going to give up his right to "bear arms" So, the Secret Service, if they have an ounce of "intelligence" (and sometimes I think that is an oxymoron when speaking of a government body) will look at the whole conversation, and the context in which the statements were made.....It was OK for Barrack Obama to make disparaging remarks about people clining to their religion and guns....It is OK for the President to threaten the Supreme Court, or the Congress.....But let a conservative graphically assert that he is fed up and doesn't want the status quo to continue...well, we have always known that rules are different.

    On another matter that doesn't involve the overuse of drugs by Ted Nugent....

    WASHINGTON -- According to the 2010 tax return released Tuesday by Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, the Romney's paid for household help in 2010. Ann Romney employed four women: Rosania Costa, Kelli Harrison, Susan Moore, and Valerie Cravens Anae.

    But these servants are only for one house, and the Romneys have at least three houses -- a 2,000 sq. ft. townhouse in Belmont, Mass., a 5,400 sq. ft. lake house on 11 acres in Wolfeboro, N.H., and a beach house in La Jolla, Calif., that is undergoing renovations to double its size.

    The Romneys spent plenty of time in New Hampshire, with regular visits in the summer from five sons and their families. Bringing up the question, how many other servants did Ann Romney have?

    A Romney campaign adviser declined to respond to questions from The Huffington Post about the housekeeping salaries.

    Maybe the Romneys split up household cleaning between themselves on days when the housekeepers were out? After all, Mitt Romney was "unemployed" in 2010, as he infamously reminded a group of voters in Tampa, so he had some extra time. And Mitt even knows how to do laundry, according to a photo tweeted Monday by his son Tagg Romney.

    UPDATE: 5:27 p.m. -- At least one of the four women paid for domestic work by the Romney family in 2010 also worked as chief of staff to the executive director of Mitt Romney's Free and Strong America PAC at the same time, giving the Romney's the right to a tax write off for part of her salary.

    Kelli Harrison was paid wages by the Romneys for personal assistant-type tasks and errands, said a source with knowledge of the situation. Harrison was the most highly paid of the four women listed as domestic employees of the Romney family, and the other three women did not work for the Romney PAC at all, the source confirmed. Harrison was paid for her PAC work with PAC funds. But where is the line drawn?

    The designation of household employees is broad, and can include housekeepers, baby-sitters, personal assistants and other house-related tasks. It's also possible that the Romney's hired an outside cleaning service to clean their houses, but the campaign declined to elaborate on their arrangement.

    Another employee, Valerie Cravens Anae, may be the same woman whose Facebook profile indicates that she attended the Mormon-affiliated Brigham Young University. Anae was paid for domestic work at the Romney house in 2010.

    The campaign declined to specify whether Harrison was still working for the Romney family personally. The other two women listed as domestic employees, Susan Moore and Rosania Costa, could not be located.

If the earth as a planet was this "fair and balanced," we'd have fallen of the edge long ago and the planet would have been hurled far out into space. Hannity will call Obama a hypocrite in the process, and Romney won't disagree. You can take this to Vegas.

          Ted Nugent's comments are "right on", to use a 60's term. He's speaking as a patriot, who loves his country,

          of someone who hates this country and travels the world speaking his hatred for this country. All the while

          his wife jet-sets around the world partying at tax-payer's expense. The media reported how low the so-called

          president's approval rating was at 41%, and all-th-while, I'm thinking "How could it possibly be that high?"

          I say "Amen Ted". . . . Keep it coming.

          I can't believe that anyone would actually defend someone who threatens violence against the democratically elected President of the United States. Saying that he will be either jailed or dead if the American people elect ANYONE spits in the face of everything our country has been built upon.

          There is absolutely nothing patriotic about Ted Nugent - an ignorant racist who obviously hates everything America stands for. The more certain people defend this abhorrent behavior, the more the "tea" party looks like a christo-fascist terror organization.

          Ted Nugent would be a fascist if he knew what the word meant. Has the NRA condemned him or are they showing their approval of Nugent's thinly veiled threat by keeping silent?

          Nugent's comments were heinous but, unfortunately, are very typical of the teabagger train of thought. I hope he is willing to take responsibility for any toothless wack-jobs out there that may be inspired to take his impotent threats to another level. Perhaps Sarah Palin can share some of the blood on her hands with him.

          I hope he is relentlessly investigated and punished to the full extent of the law.

          Yeah, yeah, yeah......we got that! Interesting that the Hate speech wasn't an issue when it came from Reverend Wright of Louis Fahrakand....Interesting that when our president apologized to the world publicly for the United States (and that isn't treasonous?) and heaven only knows what was said behind closed doors in supposed summit meetings-especially in light of the open mike comment made to the Soviets recently about needing some time to do whatever it is that they want him to do......The double standard is obvious, blantant.....and heaven forbid that it be applied equally to the liberal viewpoints.....Regularly in these posts, the regulars engage in violent, vitrolic, cursing and name calling....but that is Okay, until somebody uses the same language and analogies regarding somebody that you might admire or respect (heaven only knows why)

          And before we go there....in previous threads, all of a sudden we are hearing from people who say that we have to respect the President simply for being the President....I beg to differ. We have to respect the office, but the person in that office needs to earn respect like everyone else. I can respect the office and what it represents and still feel that the person in that office is not worthy of my respect...and for heaven's sake, please stop touting Mr Obama's divine right as the "majority elected" president, because he was not....a trick of the electoral college and how those votes are accumulated resulted in his win, not a clear and extensive popular vote majority.......and as governors have the right to revise districting in conjunction with census years to "more accurately reflect population growth and density in determining representation" Well, I guess it will come down to the electoral college again, won't it???? The Democratic governor in Illinois has been merrily rewriting district lines to enhance the democratic outcomes in given districts.....how does that equate with a majority of the popular vote????? I am sure that similar redistricting has occurred in other states.

            You know, I didn't think I could be more surprised or disappointed in the human race. Yet, here are folks shrugging off the type of comments against a sitting president of the US for political one upsmanship. Ironically, if it was their guy sitting in the Oval Office, they would be having kittens. Nugent still has a cult following. One these persons could be unstable enough to take his words to heart and try to kill the sitting president of the US.

            Shouldn't all sides agree his comments were out of line, that they make a mockery of our electoral system. So, if you don't like the guy - kill him?

                Nugent is an idiot and a joke. He crossed the line into self-parody years ago.

                Of course, he's not going to assassinate the President - it was just his clumsy way of attempting to fire up the right-wing gun fanatics. The fact that the NRA has him on their Board of Directors undermines what little credibility that organization has.

                However, the Secret Service has to investigate any public threat to the President's safety, no matter how ridiculous.

                If (when) Obama is re-elected, we will likely be hearing a lot more of this kind of blather from the right.

                      This comment is for the FAKE OUTRAGE people over Hilary Rosen's comments and any other
                      MILD Comment made by a Liberal about Republicans and their Candidates which is usually the Truth.

                      How SAY YOU ON THE VILE THINGS NUGENT IS SAYING and not a Peep out of the Republicans, Fox News, Mitt and the Republicans. Is Nugent part of Mitt's Campaign? It looks like to me he is. Republicans and Peggy Noonan tried to make Rosen part of the Obama Campaign.

                      It seems as if NUGENT IS PART OF MITT'S Campaign, since Mitt begged for Endorsement.

                      Nugent is bordering an ACTUAL THREAT against the President and Hate Speech.

                      So once again FAKE OUTRAGED PEOPLE tell me how Nugent's comments STACK UP AGAINST Rosen's TRUE Comments about Ann Romney, although said clumsily.

                      No comment from the President or the First Lady was needed, since Ann Romney took it as a Joke. The Democratic Establishment did not need to get their Panies in Bunch over Rosen's Comments. I agree with Rosen.

                      HOW LONG DID IT TAKE THE CANDIDATES and Republicans in General to Come to the Aid of Sandra Fluke, when their DEFACTO LEADER, Rush called her a Whore and Prostitute.

                      So Media Folks, you are DOING IT AGAIN, as always, showing more FAKE OUTRAGE when a Democrats says something that is NO WHERE NEAR the VILE things said about a Sitting President.

                      Sure Bush was talked about, but it was not until the Iraq War went REALLY BAD and the Economy TANKED. All President Obama is trying to do is clean the mess up. SO I ASKED AGAIN, Don't YOU Think Bush and Chaney should be CALLED A FEW NAMES? ALL were MILD compared to the TOTAL DISREPECT for this President and the Office of the Presidency.

                      I want to know if there was any Moderate or Democrate who were ROOTING for the Economy to fail and all the Democrats in Congress did not want to do anything for the Economy because Bush was the President AND THE ONLY WORK they were going to do is make Bush a One-Term President. So the Country can just POUND SAND.

                      ONE QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS! $54,000 a DAY. That's Mitt, and he was rich before he became a Vulture Capitalist. Ask yourself if you would ever, in your ordinary life, even set eyes on Mitt. If you or I ever went up to his many front doors and asked to come in and talk to him about politics, you would be bodily hustled off the property by his paid goon squad. Mitt always looks to me like he'd like to be anywhere else but shaking hands and mingling with the great unwashed (us). Ted Nugent has been certified bat-sh!t crazy, and what he said is going to get him in trouble. But that isn't the worst thing about that has-beens rant. The worst thing is that no republican has the guts to stand up and rebuke Nug's vicious utterances. Also, when I heard that Mitt strapped the family dog to the roof of his car in a crate, and then said the dog liked it-----well, that, to me, spoke volumes about the measure of the man. That's the real Mitt Romney.

I would say that the incidences of dogs riding unprotected in many conveyances can be matched and added to ad nauseum.....It isn't a measure of the man, but rather a person's viewpoint on the animal....for some folks, it is just that, an animal and the same rules of comfort and safety do not apply to animals as to humans.

                              Ted Nugent is a confused old man. He has lots of misdirected anger. What started Ted on the 35 year long rant he is currently on was the fact that his manager was getting rich on the old Ted Nugent while Ted was only able to afford a one bedroom house. Once he figured out that people he trusted took advantage of him, he snapped. The new Ted Nugent can't understand that those who made a sap out of him in the 70"s are still making a sap out of him in 2012.

                              When I was a kid, I had all Ted's albums, but then I grew up.
